"This dish is not good to eat."

Lu Ban thought.

Those without any exotic name hints are usually from this world.

Lu Ban had also heard of things like calling souls. This kind of feudal and superstitious behavior had once caused great turmoil in ancient times and was a strange event with a long history.

Lu Ban himself doesn't believe in such monsters.

He felt that the reason why there were various problems with soul-calling was that it was weird in itself and was some kind of distorted rule.

The rule is roughly that as long as your name is called and you agree, something will happen.

It looks a bit like the purple gold gourd of the Silver Horn King.

Maybe the purple gold gourd itself is a kind of weirdness.

This is the scientific and reasonable explanation that Lu Ban got.

Maybe there is information about the fate emerald in this mission, but walking in the city nowadays is not that easy.

He looked at the second plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

[Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]

[After diving 100,000 miles into the ocean, I saw the entrance to hell]

[It is said that gods live somewhere in the deep sea. In those secret places that even the tide callers dare not set foot in, whispers from the ancient times echo and ancient evil lurks.]

【Touch it, open it, and witness it】

[The earth and the sky merge into one, this is the end]

[“No way, no way, is there really someone who wants to release the evil god?”]

“New map.”

Lu stumbled upon judgment.

Scrambled eggs with tomatoes is not a new dish, but the deep sea is undoubtedly a new exotic place in the Land of Silence.

If he had not been to the deep sea with Feng Yu before, then this would be a brand new map. Unfortunately, Lu Ban had already been spoiled in advance, so the novelty was lost.

Of course, Lu Ban still got a lot of information from the description of this task.

"Is there still an evil god sealed in the deep sea?"

Lu Ban asked Feng Yu.

"Which foreign land doesn't have a few evil gods sealed away?"

Feng Yu asked back.

"It's better to say that if there were no pollution caused by the sealing of the evil god, even civilization might not have appeared in most foreign lands."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Ban was curious.

"Just like this world, if you pay attention to the evolution of ancient organisms, you will find that this world did not have gases like oxygen in the beginning, but when there was no oxygen, there was still life."

Feng Yu explained briefly.

"Those creatures can survive without oxygen, such as the anaerobic bacteria of today. Later, oxygen appeared, and the whole world turned upside down. More than 99% of the creatures became extinct. Only the ancestors of today's humans were born after that. Do you think the appearance of oxygen is a powerful pollution to those anaerobic bacteria?"

After listening to Feng Yu's words, Lu Ban felt that there seemed to be some truth in them.

For humans, oxygen is undoubtedly the source of life.

To anaerobic bacteria, oxygen is poisonous.

If organisms cannot adapt to the oxygen environment, they will undoubtedly die.

The same principle applies here, converting oxygen into pollution.

Especially when Lu Ban saw exotic places like the deep sea, these places, in Lu Ban's words, were so polluted and alienated that they could not be more polluted.

But civilization can still be preserved.

And like in Twilight City, the original civilization fell into destruction due to the fall of gods, and it could also evolve into a race like the Eye Demon. It has to be said that life is tenacious and life will always find a way out.

This further confirmed Lu Ban's idea that proper self-pollution could effectively resist foreign pollution and could slightly slow down the pace in the time when one was constantly moving towards destruction.

If he had never been to the deep sea, he might have to go on this mission to see the world, but unfortunately Lu Ban had already seen it.

He also felt that if the evil god of the deep sea was really released, the little fish people would be too pitiful.

Not only can they not be sold to foreign lands to realize their self-worth, but they will also be destroyed by evil gods.

The kind-hearted Lu Ban couldn't bear to see such a scene and didn't intend to choose this.

Then it seems that there is only one answer.

He looked at the last dish.

On the dry pot cabbage, the system's cold and indifferent words appeared.

[For whom do the swarms fly?]

[Some people say that the three most despairing things in the wilderness are the scorching sun, dryness, and insects]

[But in my opinion, bugs are the most terrifying. They are everywhere and come from all directions. In the shortest time, these bugs will devour your flesh and blood, leaving only broken bones.]

[But some people make a living by studying these insects. They try to find ways to control insects by studying them, but they don’t think about the fact that humans have studied death for so many years, but still cannot escape death.]

[If you ask me, it’s better to pray that I can die faster when I’m attacked by insects]

[“Hush, listen, that’s the sound of wings flapping”]

"Speak of the devil and he will appear."

Lu Ban was originally planning to go to the wasteland to meet those bugs, and now it just so happens that there is a mission.

He had almost no hesitation and directly chose this task without even spending any money on [Madman's Knowledge].

Lu Ban picked up the last bit of food with chopsticks and ate it.

The food was a bit cold and the cabbage tasted weird, like eating bugs.

After taking a bite of the food, the text changes immediately.

[Task props detected, task content changes]

Then, below the task description, a few lines of text spread out from the condensed oil.

[Mission Difficulty: Sublimation]

[Mission Objective: Find the Queen]

[Mission objective: survive]

[Mission Objective: Obtain Du Danping's Melody Fragment]

"Du Danping!"

Lu Ban finally saw this familiar name again.

Before this, in Nanhua Private Renji Hospital, in the abandoned town, Lu Ban had obtained two melody fragments.

Now the third one has finally appeared in the wilderness.

However, the description of this task is too simple and crude, and it is undoubtedly related to bugs.

"The mission requirement is to find the Queen of Bugs. It looks like you might be able to protect someone to find the bugs. And surviving after finding the bugs is also part of the mission."

He had roughly figured out the outline of the mission, which was to protect one or several scholars who studied insects, look for traces of insects, eventually discover the location of the queen insect, and then escape.

And Lu Ban still needs to try to kill the Queen of Insects and obtain her Heart of the Swarm.

Simple and direct, no need to guess riddles, very reasonable.

As for Du Danping's melody fragment, Lu Ban suspected that it was also on the Queen Insect's body. As for what role this melody fragment played, he couldn't say.

There was no one to accompany him on this mission, so Lu Ban had to go alone.

"I hope Lao Cui is okay."

Lu Ban couldn't help but pray for Trist.

"Which god are you praying to?"

Feng Yu on the side suddenly asked like a worm in Lu Ban's stomach.

"Which... in that case, there really is no god to pray to."

Lu Ban thought about it and realized that there were no gods or saviors in this world, so he had to rely on himself.
