Chapter 100 Chapter 100 (End of inverted V) The sky...
There was a rumbling sound from the sky, and just as the divers looked up in panic, the ground began to shake.
They couldn't tell what was going on, nor could they figure out where they were shaking. They could only confirm that they were more panicked than before, almost out of control, and started shouting and screaming.
At this moment, they could no longer stand and fell to the ground. The next moment, they found that their companions had completely disappeared and they were all alone.
No deep diver can find another deep diver nearby because they don’t know where they are or where their companions are.
They fell into deep despair. The sky was still dark, and sparks occasionally flickered beneath the ground, like poisonous snakes peering from the soil, mocking them with their blood-red eyes, their ignorance, arrogance, and self-righteousness, waiting for them to completely give up struggling, and when they were on the verge of death, to reap their souls.
They couldn't even shout now, because they had no extra strength left. They had to rest. No matter whether it was dangerous here or not, one thing was the same -
No matter which deep diver, no matter where they are, no matter whether they want to find their companions or not, as time goes by, their despair does not decrease at all, but instead increases.
Bai Tianming blinked his eyes and remained standing steadily on the ground. The sky above his head was also black, but this did not affect his mood and actions.
Because he didn't think there was anything to be afraid of here, and nothing here was dangerous to him, he glanced around.
He confirmed that there was no Deep Diver around him, nodded with satisfaction, dug into his pocket, and pulled out a dice with a red heart on a white background.
This thing was previously placed in the utility room, but he suddenly felt that it might be useful now, so he took it out. He spread out his palm and looked at the six-sided dice.
This dice has six dots, which can be used to divide the seemingly identical road around him into six directions. He wants to throw this thing forward, and he will go in the direction of the dots thrown out until he finds a deep diver.
Maybe this is not very interesting, but playing dice at least won't make him bored. It is much more fun than just taking a slow walk behind the Deep Diver.
He didn't know where the deep divers were now. If he wanted to know, he could know, but if he knew everything, it would be meaningless.
He knew very well that those outsiders had no way of destroying his flowers or other things for the time being, and that was enough, because this had already fulfilled the prerequisites for playing.
Bai Tianming threw the dice in his hand forward. The square dice drew an imperfect parabola in the air, rolled for several times, and finally fell to the ground.
There was only a very faint and indistinct sound of the dice falling to the ground, hitting the soil and stones, and then the dice stopped and fell in the middle of the soil.
The soil was neither hard nor very soft, and the dice stuck there as if a small, low flower had suddenly bloomed in the ground.
The white petals and red stamens, under the dark sky, look like the bleeding corpse of a pale beauty, or an illusion created by beautiful poisonous mushrooms.
Bai Tianming blinked his eyes, squatted down, approached the dice, confirmed the number on it, reached out and picked up the dice from the soil. On a whim, he turned it into a normal-sized crystal skull.
This is really a beautiful thing.
Whether it is a flower or a skull, in a dark environment, it has a conspicuous feeling like a small paper lantern floating in the wind and burning with the fire of the underworld.
Bai Tianming held the head with one hand and walked out slowly in the direction corresponding to the points divided before. After a while, he stopped.
It was not because he needed to rest, but because he found an extremely panicked deep diver lying on the ground not far away, gasping for breath, one hand covering his neck, his face flushed, and his eyeballs extremely bulging, as if one eyeball was about to pop out, but in fact, those eyes were very steady.
Bai Tianming stood not far away and watched for a while. The deep diver did not notice him. He just gasped very hard and loudly, as if he finally confirmed that his trachea was still usable. He turned over and lay on the ground, trying to use all four limbs to crawl away from the dark soil like a small lizard.
As luck would have it, the direction he chose was where Bai Tianming was standing. Bai Tianming was looking at him motionlessly, and he really crawled straight towards Bai Tianming.
Sometimes Bai Tianming would feel that maybe the God of Luck was standing by his side, otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
The Deep Diver crawled in front of Bai Tianming. When they were only one step away, the Deep Diver suddenly froze, moved his nose, and a small flame shot out from the ground.
The flames passed by his nose, and he was startled and jumped up from the ground like a cat with its fur standing on end. Then, when he looked up, he saw Bai Tianming who was no longer hiding his true colors.
Bai Tianming smiled at him, and he screamed as if he had seen a ghost. Then, he fell backwards with a thud and fell to the ground. He crawled backwards using all fours, staring at Bai Tianming with his eyes fixed, as if he was guarding against a fire hydrant that was about to explode.
Bai Tianming slowly walked towards him.
He trembled all over as if his hand was caught in a trap, and screamed even louder. Bai Tianming did not stop because of his screams.
So, after screaming for a while, he found that it was useless and his voice became much hoarse, so he stopped and started gasping for breath again.
Finally, he could not crawl anymore. His whole body was weak, his hands and feet were shaking, tears were streaming down his face, sweat was dripping down his back, and his clothes were hanging loosely on his skin, making him look even more miserable, like a mutated little white mouse that had just escaped from a laboratory.
Bai Tianming stopped in front of him, looked at him, and asked with an interested smile: "Are you not running away?"
He stared at Bai Tianming with wide eyes, his glare bursting out, as if he saw a cliff approaching him.
The next moment, he trembled all over and knelt in front of Bai Tianming, sobbing and begging for mercy, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I didn't want to come here! I'm not a fish!"
I don’t know if the reason he said this last sentence was because he once saw someone catch a deep diver and eat it as food, thinking it was a fish.
The fear was palpable.
Bai Tianming frowned.
The Deep Diver stopped crying all of a sudden, and even his breathing became much lighter. He stared at Bai Tianming, wiped his face, and looked very pitiful and pleading.
Bai Tianming looked at him and was silent for a while, thinking about how to deal with him.
Killing him outright seemed excessive, but letting him go was like seeing a cockroach run past and doing nothing, which was just as bad.
He was uneasy, kneeling on the ground, gradually lowering his head, his breathing became lighter and lighter, his face turned pale, and he gradually looked like a corpse, but he was not dead yet.
"I can choose not to kill you," Bai Tianming said slowly, "but you have to give me a reason, right?"
"We came here because," the Deep One's eyes lit up, as if someone had just loosened his neck. He took two quick breaths and said with wide eyes, "Xira went to find Cthulhu! Cthulhu planned to send something here. Xira asked us to come and help just in case, and to provide support and to cause as much damage as possible here..."
His voice became lower and lower, and a guilty expression appeared on his face. He lowered his head and secretly looked at Bai Tianming's expression, wondering if he would be killed after he finished speaking.
He thought: It's over, it's over, I might die a more miserable death than before. He made up his mind, closed his eyes, and said everything he wanted to say: "I don't know where that thing is now, and I don't know exactly what it is, but I heard it might be a severed tentacle of Cthulhu. It's extremely contaminating and confusing. It can transform into a human and make people think it's their family or friend."
He really couldn't hold his breath any longer, so he opened his eyes and carefully observed Bai Tianming. He found that he seemed to be still alive. He almost cried with joy. His whole body went limp and he wished he could stick to the ground, like a scallion pancake that had been flattened on the chopping board but not yet put into the pan.
Bai Tianming nodded thoughtfully.
He was not very interested in Cthulhu or Csira, because no matter how strong they were outside, they would definitely not be stronger than him when they got to him, so he had nothing to worry about.
But their tentacles have already extended into his territory. If he turns a blind eye, he would be too blind. What's more, they are not kind-hearted people.
Even if Bai Tianming really let these deep divers go, they would not feel that they needed to be grateful for the other party's friendliness. They would only think that the other party was a pitiful and useless waste.
Who knows, they might go even further next time.
Bai Tianming didn't want to see an even more aggressive enemy in his territory the next day.
In that case, it's just a little intimidation, which is too friendly.
Bai Tianming's eyes rolled and a mysterious smile gradually appeared on his face.
The Deep Diver, still panting on the ground, suddenly felt the ground shaking. Startled, he raised his head, looked around, and his body immediately froze.
Because he saw that the flat soil not far away suddenly bulged, and huge stones grew out of the broken soil.
