Xue Dili was seeing such a world for the first time.
They felt as if they were inside the belly of a giant beast the size of a planet, with those grotesque shapes twisting like invading viruses, and these humans trembling like red blood cells.
If not for the warm sunlight in the sky, Xue Dili might have truly thought this.
"Someone was taken away before," said Old Green.
"I'll go right away. Leave your spirit here; give me a Communication Skill, and I'll also parse the language again on my side," Xue Dili said, immediately running toward the direction Old Green indicated.
Along the way, he saw various "people" integrated with this hellscape-like environment. That's the only way he could describe them: stones with human heads, trees covered in human heads, countless half-human figures embedded in pillars...
Stepping on half-buried finger bones, he realized that the dark brown moss was actually congealed blood scabs, and the granite was covered in grape-like tumors, which twitched and spewed bloody steam every few seconds.
All of this filled one with incredible fear and disgust, making it unimaginable what kind of environment could create such a hellish scene.
Even those heads all turned to look at him, their mouths spewing indescribable words.
[Parsing new language...]
The translation module accepted these languages at the fastest speed and began parsing them, and Xue Dili was stunned.
These things actually have a language!
Then, he seemed to see another grotesque shape ahead, ignoring the surrounding heads, with the Cutting Light Wheel ready in his hand.
However, when the grotesque shape turned, Xue Dili was stunned again.
All that was left in place was a headless male corpse, and the grotesque shape had the male corpse's head growing from its chest. It seemed to twist the head, showing a joyful smile, and kept speaking to Xue Dili.
[Language parsing complete]
Then, Xue Dili could instantly understand the language of these grotesque shapes, and the next moment, it was as if billions of voices rang in his ears.
"I feel great right now..."
"I've come to save you..."
"I feel really great..."
"Here to help you..."
Simultaneously, it felt as though an intense gaze was fixed on Xue Dili, like the expression in that meme image "I'll keep watching you, staring at you.JPG".
And the man's head affixed to the grotesque shape said, "I really feel great; now it's my turn to help you..."
"Swish!"
The Cutting Light Wheel whistled past, slicing the grotesque shape in half, and just when he thought it was over, the head, instead of exploding, fused into the blood-red fungal mat on the ground.
Xue Dili: "!!!"
What the hell? Not even the Beheading Blade could kill it?
Moreover, what normally took only "Chadunla" to describe, Xue Dili now felt that his magic power decreased by a tenth after just two spells.
This was extremely uncomfortable for someone like him who always had his Techniques open.
And just now, when the Beheading Blade sliced through the flesh-like fungal mat, it seemed to restrain them, as they all avoided the marks left by the Beheading Blade, revealing a pathway of purplish-black muddy ground on the surface.
But with the disappearance of the Beheading Blade, those fungal mats gradually merged again, covering the ground.
Very quickly, one grotesque shape seemed to pull out its own spine to form a Greatsword, while another grotesque shape used intestine-like ropes to hang from its head, spinning it like a Meteor Hammer, with the head making "ahhhh" noises.
Xue Dili: "..."
Can't this world have anything from the Mortal World? What exactly is this world?
Inside a monster? Or a pure flesh planet? A thoroughly corrupted world? Or perhaps truly the hell of the Underworld?
Moreover, why did the Interstellar Corps' emergency communication device send him to such a place, when it was supposed to take him out from the Fairy Tale World? Instead, it brought him to this hellish planet.
And what puzzled him even more was why, in this world, his magic power consumption increased several times, while his magic power recovery was reduced several times...
There were too many doubts and information that he had not had time to confirm and collect.
...
Old Green looked at Xue Dili returning covered in some unknown disgusting slime, feeling puzzled himself. Knowing Xue Dili's Light Magic, he found it hard to imagine what kind of enemy could make Xue Dili so battered.
"What did you encounter?" Old Green began chanting a spell, and a Cleaning Technique floated over Xue Dili's head. The next moment, Xue Dili felt instantly refreshed, the dark red liquid covering his body was also cleaned away.
"Not strong, but they are undead. I used the Beheading Blade to cut them into six pieces, and those things all merged into the Fungal Mat…" Xue Dili began to explain what he saw.
It seemed that as long as they were within the range of the Fungal Mat, those things were absolutely undying. Even when his Holy Light dispersed the Fungal Mat, within a few seconds, it all clustered together again, like one grotesque living entity.
Not only physically grotesque, but they also carried out mental attacks. Hundreds of voices shouted, "I'm here to save you" simultaneously, then the monstrosity with a dozen heads charged forward with an "ah ya ya ya." Even Xue Dili found this impact hard to bear.
It's hard to imagine how humans in this world deal with such underworld creatures.
As Xue Dili was thinking this, he curiously picked up the spear used by humans on the ground.
Then Xue Dili instantly showed an "eye-burning" expression.
He saw that besides the spear tip, which was made of a small metallic cone, there was a circuit board with only solder points and a few resistors attached. Even the entire circuit board was wrapped in a layer of patinated dark red keratin layer.
If it weren't for the clear solder points on the wire board, Xue Dili would have never recognized this as a patinated "circuit board"!
Such circuit boards were attached to both sides of the spearhead, creating an absurd and twisted feeling of using patinated circuit boards to kill cyber enemies.
"Plop!"
The male human knelt down, speaking in a language that Xue Dili couldn't understand, while the translation module was desperately collecting language data.
Xue Dili was constantly thinking about how to communicate with the natives of this world, seeing their leather outfits, he felt that they were not part of a civilization but a tribe of primitives.
Seeing the man kneel, the woman, who didn't seem very old, also knelt and even prepared to tear open her chest.
"Damn!" Xue Dili immediately threw out a Holy Light Ball, casting the Holy Light.
Seeing the fear of the Holy Light in the surrounding Fungal Mat, they kowtowed more fervently.
"What's going on?" Xue Dili immediately asked Old Green.
"I don't know either. The Communication Skill returns very little intelligence, their language seems to be the tribal indigenous language, which I completely can't comprehend." Old Green was also confused.
The translation module continued collecting their language, and half a minute later, finally successfully parsed it.
"Great Lord of Light, our most revered God, we are your eternal followers, your eternal children. You finally deign to appear to lead us out of this plight. Our forever beloved Lord of Light, take us out of this never-satisfied world… to your Celestial Kingdom, a kingdom with endless food and water…"
"Thus, my beautiful daughter is willing to become your eternal slave, to do anything for you…"
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, the woman covered in blood seemed to want to strip off her skirt in the Holy Light.
"Listen up, stop sending anything my way. I'm not a trash recycle station!" Xue Dili immediately retorted in their language.
This left the two in a daze, then they continued desperately kowtowing, the man almost buried his head into the purple-black soil.
Then his mouth desperately recited words like "Lord of Light," "Celestial Kingdom," and "Great God," making Xue Dili roughly understand that their mythology seemed to have a supreme God of Light.
And that supreme deity in their mythology happened to have feats of using light as slashes to punish monsters, so appearing with a Cutting Light Wheel, Xue Dili was mistaken by these natives for that supreme god.
They even had rituals offering a "bride" to the supreme deity, and just now, it seemed like this man had a sudden inspiration to offer his daughter.
Xue Dili looked up at the sky, seeing only a tiny point high above that seemed to be the sun, but it felt like something was off. That light source emitted warmth but not much intensity, shining quietly on this world.
Indeed, in the beginning of any culture's birth, the "sun" is always considered one of the most important deities.
"Put on your clothes, I don't need a 'bride.' Where is the tribe? Take us there." Xue Dili immediately spoke in the simplest terms, fearing these natives might not even understand longer sentences.
The man continued to kowtow, even going through various postures as if completing some ritual.
"Stand up, no kneeling. I don't care about your ritual, but don't waste my time." Xue Dili watched the man use eight different postures to kowtow in a short time, making him feel his head buzzing.
The man trembled instantly, and upon standing, almost knelt again.
Xue Dili had enough of these nagging natives and the woman who kept adjusting her leather armor.
He always felt he had experienced enough; nothing surprised him.
This scene, however, was truly new to him!
"Relax, relax, we're not bad people, just want to understand about this world…" looking at the two still trembling, Old Green mysteriously said, "The god is patrolling lands, dare you neglect the god?"
This sentence instantly worked, and the man and woman quickly took Xue Dili to their hiding place not far away, a cave.
Xue Dili was stunned because this shape was indeed familiar.
The famous African wooden cart, specifically those from Chadunla banana routes, now had various items Xue Dili couldn't recognize placed on it, seemingly resources they collected.
