Chapter 191 Getting Thicker Skinned



"Chichi, chichi?" Fugui opened his paws that were covering his face and secretly looked at Zhongli Tingzhou.

Gao Han saw it looking at Zhongli Tingzhou cautiously, wanting to go over but not daring to, and almost forgot that this little guy used to be the one who stuck to Zhongli in black the most.

This time when Zhongli disappeared in white, the aura of the two people was also different, and it must have been able to feel it.

Fugui didn't understand why the annoying creature in front of him suddenly changed into his favorite former host, even though they looked exactly the same.

It particularly likes the scent of its previous host. Now that it sees the person right in front of it, it feels anxious. It wants to go over, but it's afraid that he will turn back into that annoying guy. If it doesn't go over, it'll feel itchy again.

Gao Han rolled his eyes in his heart and stuffed it directly into Zhongli Tingzhou's arms.

Fugui was originally hesitant, but after feeling the aura of love from Zhongli Tingzhou, he immediately abandoned all his principles.

No matter what, it was the current host who threw it over, not it that took the initiative. It hugged the clothes of the previous host and rubbed them happily.

Zhongli Tingzhou tore it off with disgust and was about to throw it away when Gao Han's warning sounded in his ears.

"If you dare throw it out, I will throw you out."

Zhongli Tingzhou glared at Fugui and said, "You little bastard, you got it badly."

Put it on your shoulder and catch up with Gao Han immediately.

"Since these devouring eels have already run away, why should we go down here if we don't go up?"

"Now that we're down, there's nothing to lose by taking a look. And if I'm not mistaken, the swallowing eel should be a deep-sea creature. Why would it appear here?" This is what Gao Han cared more about.

In fact, he had another purpose for coming to the main disaster area this time, which was to investigate the cause of the mutation in the main disaster area.

According to historical records, the main disaster area was the first place on Earth to mutate, and then it radiated to other places.

Uninformed humans may not care much about the reasons for the mutation in the main disaster area, but Gao Han, who knows that the earth will be destroyed in the future, has to pay attention to this.

If we cannot find the cause and allow the current situation to continue, within a hundred years, the Earth will disappear in the long river of history. Will the human beings on Earth, including them, disappear together?

Gao Han didn't know, so he could only do his best to check the situation in the main disaster area.

Zhongli Tingzhou originally looked nonchalant, but he straightened up after hearing his words, "It's the same as what I thought. I'm also curious as to why deep-sea creatures would appear inland."

The place where they were standing now was strictly speaking still inland.

Gao Han glanced at him but didn't expose his words.

The two swam deeper and deeper, and the surroundings became brighter and brighter.

There seemed to be something sparkling below, some of the light balls were very bright, and some were slightly weaker.

Gao Han did not rush forward. "This distance should be more than 1,500 meters deep. If we go further down, it may exceed the deepest inland lake recorded on Earth. It's very strange. If Muluo Lake was this deep back then, it should have been recorded."

But Muluo Lake doesn't even make it into the top ten.

"It's quite strange." Zhongli Tingzhou smiled, "What's even stranger is that we've reached such a deep place, but the things down there are still glowing. It's like..."

"Something is deliberately luring us down."

Gao Han also discovered it.

Zhongli Tingzhou said with interest in his eyes: "Yes, no matter how strong the light is, it can't penetrate that deep, unless when we move, those things also move, and when we stop, they also stop."

Gao Han was still a little confused, "But we can't see what the glowing thing is now, so how can it be sure that we will chase it?"

Zhongli Tingzhou raised his lips slightly, "This is what I like most about you. You look serious and smart as if you know everything, but in fact you don't even know some simple common sense. Those idiots below will never guess that you don't know that the crystal core will glow underwater."

Gao Han: “…”

Gao Han took a deep breath and said, "If you don't want me to beat you up, shut up now."

Zhongli Tingzhou made a zipper motion with his mouth, which would have been more convincing if he hadn't smiled.

Gao Han was too weak to say anything more to him. He forced himself not to think about anything else and said, "So the brighter the crystal core, the higher its level, right?"

Zhongli Tingzhou liked the fact that he was extremely smart, but would get confused about simple common sense.

"Then what do you think are the levels of those crystal cores below?" Gao Han asked again.

"Conservatively speaking, it should be above level seven and below level twelve."

It is equivalent to the cultivation level of a third or second-class spirit cultivator.

No wonder they dare to use these crystal cores as bait, if they are level ten, level twelfth or level twelve crystal cores, they will make a fortune by taking them out.

Not all humans are greedy, but there are always some who are. They use these crystal cores to attract batches of humans to die.

Gao Han did not react to the crystal core. Instead, he stroked his chin and thought, "We killed those Devouring Eels before. It is impossible for them not to know our strength. Since they still dare to lure us down, it means that they were just the first batch. The truly powerful ones are still down there."

"We are getting farther and farther away from the water. Once we enter their territory, they will probably start a massacre. If we are trapped in their encirclement, it will be difficult for us to escape."

"My wife's analysis is really sharp. I think so too." Zhongli Tingzhou really wanted to applaud, but he was afraid that Gao Han would hit him again.

Not knowing what was going on down there, Gao Han suddenly didn't want to go down. What if there were mutant creatures with strength equivalent to that of a first-class cultivator? Wouldn't he be going down with Zhongli Tingzhou to die?

Even if Zhongli Tingzhou's strength could break through to the first level, this is an underwater world of mutated deep-sea creatures. Their combat power is bound to be stronger than that on land, while humans' will be weakened.

"Forget it, I won't go down." Gao Han decided not to go down again.

"Don't you want to go down? Why don't you go down again? Are you worried that I, baby, can't beat them? Don't worry, baby is very strong, even stronger than me after I lost my memory." Zhongli Tingzhou patted his chest and said with great confidence.

Gao Han glanced at him and said coldly, "Can you please stop calling yourself a baby?"

Zhongli Tingzhou blinked, "Why? Baby is feeling miserable."

"Because I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and take action." Gao Han stared at his face.

Zhongli Tingzhou slowly covered his face, "Hate it, I know I'm handsome, if you want to pursue me just tell me, I will cooperate with you."

"I was wrong." Gao Han admitted his mistake decisively and changed the subject: "How did you know I wanted to go down?"

Zhongli Tingzhou said with a smile: "Because we are in tune with each other."

Gao Han decisively ended the conversation, "Let's go, and come back when we are stronger."

Zhongli Tingzhou glanced over his shoulder and said, "I think this black rat has something to say. It may have some ideas."

Gao Han said in surprise: "What can it do?"

Zhongli Tingzhou brought it forward and said, "Don't forget, it's also a mutant creature. Maybe it can see or hear something."

"Chirp, chirp." Fugui was very satisfied. He thought that the previous host understood me the best. He seemed to have forgotten that he hated the previous host so much before.

"Can the language of animals and the language of fish be understood?" Gao Han asked.

Fugui said: "Chijiji." Of course not, but we are not communicating through language, but through sound waves.

Zhongli Tingzhou translated: "It said yes, they are all mutant creatures."

Gao Han looked at him suspiciously, "Do you understand what it says?"

Zhongli Tingzhou said modestly: "I understand a little bit, a little bit."

Fugui was a little conflicted, but he liked the scent of his former host and was afraid that if he objected, the former host would not let him stay on his shoulder.

"I'd never trust you." Gao Han has been with Fugui for a few months. Now he doesn't have to rely on guessing to understand his expression like before. Besides, the confusion in his eyes is already obvious.

Zhongli Tingzhou chuckled, "Well, although my translation may be wrong, I can't deny that it can understand fish language."

Gao Han snorted, "You react pretty quickly."

Zhongli Tingzhou continued to be modest, "Young lady, you are too modest. I dare not."

Gao Han raised his hand.

Zhongli Tingzhou immediately changed his words without even a second's pause, "Young Master."

"I have a question." Gao Han said, "How come you have become more and more shameless after you recovered this time? Does every time you lose your memory become more and more shameless?"

Zhongli Tingzhou thought seriously for a moment, "Maybe I know that you love me a little more than before?"

"..." Gao Han continued to look at the bottom of the lake, "Let's go, don't dawdle any longer, Fugui will show you the way, there are many swallowing eels, but the bottom of this lake seems to be very large, let's get rid of them first."

Zhongli Tingzhou thought he was a particularly considerate gentleman, so he decided not to expose his boyfriend's stiff attempt to change the subject. He put his arm around his waist and said, "Then get ready. I'm going to start working hard."

Gao Han immediately took off the wealth on his shoulders. At the same time, the figures of the two turned into afterimages and quickly shuttled under the lake.

By the time the swallowing eels below discovered it and wanted to chase after it, it was already too late.

It wasn't long before the eels lost their target.

Gao Han never knew that such a speed could be achieved in water. "What kind of speed is this?"

"Aurora Flash, a special skill that only I know, and it's faster on land." Zhongli Tingzhou said.

"I believe it."

Gao Han lifted the dizzy Fugui to his side and asked, "Fugui, where should we go next?"

Fugui lay on his hand, his eyes still dizzy, and he could only stretch out his claws to point in a direction. Fortunately, he did not rely on his eyes to see, but on his perception. This was the direction in which he sensed the weakest sound waves.

Gao Han put it in his chest pocket, let it rest, and hurried over with Zhongli Tingzhou.

With Zhongli Tingzhou's aurora flash and Gao Han's defensive array, the two of them would not be afraid of not being able to perform their movements or being crushed to death by the pressure of the deep sea if they went deeper.

However, Gao Han also felt that as they went further down, the energy of the formation equipment was consumed faster.

In order to resist the pressure of the seabed, more energy has to be extracted.

After having rested enough, Fugui swiftly climbed from Gao Han's pocket onto Zhongli Tingzhou's shoulders.

Gao Han, who had raised it for several months, felt bad. It turned out that it liked drama more.

Fugui raised a paw, signaling them to stop.

Both of them actually understood it, but then, no one understood what Fugui was gesturing to.

Fugui gestured for a long time and found that none of them understood, so he became a little anxious and the more he gestured, the more confused he became.

"Okay, do you need any help?" Gao Han rubbed his temples with a headache.

Fugui's eyes lit up and he nodded immediately. He needed it, he really needed it. The host was too stupid and there was nothing he could do.

'Too stupid' Gao Han took out dozens of spirit beads.

Fugui nodded with satisfaction and began his own drill.

He moved a few spirit beads here, then moved a few spirit beads there.

A few minutes later, it looked at Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou and asked, "Did you understand?"

Zhongli Tingzhou blinked several times and turned to Gao Han, "Do you understand?"

Who the hell can understand such a stupid drill?

Gao Han said, “I think I understand.”

Zhongli Tingzhou said without blushing or panting: "Oh, I understand too."

Gao Han raised his eyebrows, "Really? Then tell me, what did it say?"

Zhongli Tingzhou blinked and spoke: "It said there are a bunch of enemies ahead, divided into one, two, three, four, five, six groups..."

Gao Han didn't want to listen anymore after hearing the beginning. "Stop it. If you don't understand, don't pretend to understand. I won't discriminate against you. I used the same method with it before. Only with experience can I know what it is talking about."

Zhongli Tingzhou said stubbornly: "Who told you that I don't understand? It's just that everyone understands it differently."

"Okay, I don't want to hear your bragging, let's get down to business," Gao Han said seriously, "There is a group of mutant swallowing eels ahead. There are not that many of them, only a few hundred. They should be guarding there under orders."

Zhongli Tingzhou stopped joking and said, "What kind of place needs so many Devouring Eels to guard it?"

There were only a few dozen devouring eels that attacked them before.

"I don't know. Fugui also said that the place is a bit far from the base camp of the Devouring Eels. Even if a fight breaks out, there won't be reinforcements for a while. Maybe we can give it a try." Gao Han said.

"Then let's try it." Zhongli Tingzhou shrugged indifferently.

The two of them sneaked over quietly, and with the help of a formation device, they concealed their presence, so the devouring eels in front of them did not notice them.

When we got closer, we saw that these swallowing eels were guarding a cave entrance.

A cave entrance that is less than three meters in diameter is guarded by a hundred powerful swallowing eels. Even a fool can see that something is wrong.

After Gao Han estimated their strength, he made a plan to kill them.

In order to prevent the information from being leaked too quickly, he and Zhongli Tingzhou each held a formation device. Zhongli Tingzhou went around to the other side, and Gao Han activated the formation device, covering the hundreds of devouring eels and the cave entrance that was less than three meters long.

By the time the swallowing eels realize something is wrong, they are already trapped.

The two rushed out at the same time.

Zhongli Tingzhou was faster than Gao Han. He dived into the group of eels and started killing them.

The lake bottom was too deep, so the red water could not be seen, but one could smell the blood in the water, spreading outwards, but was blocked by the transparent defense array.

Even though they were prepared before, they were no match for them. This group of unprepared eels died even faster.

After dealing with the last swallowing eel, Gao Han arrived at the cave entrance which was less than three meters away.
