People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 1111: Go forward! Target: Deep Blue!

"gentlemen."

Itar and Qi Yan stood in front of the gate of the core area of ​​the Deep Blue Tree ruins. Its tail was erected, with the tip bent into a question mark shape, and it kept rubbing its body against Qi Yan's calves.

"Are you hungry? Or do you want some help?" Qi Yan asked with his head down.

Ital immediately placed his front paws on Qi Yan's legs, tilted his head back and exposed his chin.

Qi Yan smiled, sat on the ground and scratched Yitar's chin.

A comfortable purring sound came from Itar's throat.

The Slayer hiding in the corner stepped on the dying Maritus with one claw, turned his head to look over here, and then looked down at his feet again.

"You... want to eat me?" Maritus' voice was weak.

"This is the master's will. I will eat you and evolve your abilities."

The butcher licked his lips with his tongue.

"My journey should not be interrupted here." Maritus said weakly, "Will you inherit my thirst? The swarm needs to survive, and only the living generation can bring back the answer."

The butcher carefully looked at his compatriots at his feet:

"You always mention Ishamara, but Ishamara has not returned yet, and the masses have not received answers. Whose answers will the path you are on lead to?"

Maritus did not reply.

The butcher is unwilling to waste too much saliva on food, as it is disrespectful to food and nutrients.

Food should be eaten obediently.

"Before you eat me, I will destroy the information about the living generation." Maritus spoke again, with an obvious threat in his words.

The butcher:?

Despite Maritus' astonishment, it did not pause at all, lowered its head and bit Maritus' biological core.

"You... shouldn't... you... will regret it... the red ocean will eventually drown everything..."

Maritus didn't even get to finish his last words before the core of the creature was crushed by the Slayer, who chewed it a few times and then swallowed it with his head tilted back.

Licking the corner of his mouth, Tu Yuzhe nodded with satisfaction.

tasty!

With respect for the food, it lowered its head and ate the remaining remains of Maritus at its feet, bite by bite.

After finishing the food at his feet, the Slayer turned his head to look at Qi Yan and Yitar, but did not disturb them. He curled up in a corner and began to digest the nutrients and information of Maritus.

Qi Yan also noticed that Tu Yuzhe had finished eating. He rubbed Yitar's little head and said with a smile:

"Let's continue the action too. I'll get you up the tree."

"But this door requires specific biological information..."

boom--

The door that left Itar helpless was shattered. Qi Yan retracted his legs, smiled and asked:

"what did you just say?"

Itar: "...Is it okay for the Slayer to stay outside by himself?"

Qi Yan bent down and picked up Itar's fate by the scruff of the neck, then turned back and shouted to the butcher:

"Those who chant my true name will see eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation."

The butcher raised his head with a Liberian look:

"what?"

"If something goes wrong, just shout and speak in unison."

Without even turning his head and waving his hand, Qi Yan carried Itar and left along the stairs behind the door that went down as if leading directly to the underworld.

The butcher lifted up his hind legs and scratched his head, muttering to himself in confusion:

"Why did I suddenly feel an itch on my head after I cried 'ah' just now, as if something was about to grow out?"

After thinking for a while and still unable to figure it out, Tu Yuzhe decisively gave up on this waste of nutrients.

It’s time to sleep after eating!

Shameful waste!

It curled up again and digested Maritus's legacy.

On the stairs of the Deep Blue Tree, Qi Yan carried Itar down continuously. In the long and dark staircase, there was only a barely bright light.

While in Qi Yan's arms, Itar looked back. At the gap created by Qi Yan's kick, the light was shrinking and rising as the distance got longer, until finally Itar had to raise his head hard to look at the faint light, as if he was looking at the only remaining starlight in the endless night sky.

"Sir, I can sense that there is a living being down there."

Itar suddenly spoke up.

"It is the spreading branches." Qi Yan explained slowly, "Even though He is dead, His body is still growing, with branches spreading all over the ocean, nourishing the swarm with itself."

"Yeah." Itar nodded.

It naturally knows these things, and it has something else to say.

"Sir, do you think I can successfully eat Him and become a new Him?" Itar showed his lack of confidence for the first time.

In the large group, it always seems to be the one with the most ideas, making all kinds of decisions and even winning over the Slayers to follow it.

But now, its husband is by its side, and it can freely express its inner confusion and anxiety.

Qi Yan stopped carrying Yitar and held him in his arms:

“You are wrong. We don’t want spreading branches. After you assimilate Him, you will not become a new life, but the next Him.

We must go deeper than the spreading branches, to the mantle of Terra, to the true heart of the Deep Blue Tree.

It is the place where they are incubated, and naturally you can become one of them."

Yitar blinked twice and nodded, not quite understanding.

The man and the cat fell into silence, and only Qi Yan's footsteps echoed in the long corridor.

Gradually, some branches and roots appeared on the walls around the staircase. As Qi Yan went deeper, these roots became thicker and thicker. In the end, they even squeezed and deformed the walls and took root in the soil behind the walls to absorb nutrients.

"gentlemen."

Itar broke the silence again: "Do you think the path I am taking is correct?"

"What is right?" Qi Yan asked back.

"...Whatever can bring survival to the group is right... I guess."

"What does survival mean?" Qi Yan asked again.

"…………The expansion of the species, the evolution of our compatriots…"

Itar's thinking time before answering was obviously getting longer and longer, and the tone of his answers was becoming more and more hollow.

It raised its furry little paw and gently touched Qi Yan's chin:

“Sir, you tried to send a large group of us before, but we failed. Except for me, all of my compatriots have given up on maintaining this biological form.

In fact, even I... no, I even took the initiative to gather a group of compatriots to retaliate against the humans who captured us. I think I was actually the first one to give up.

I really cannot tolerate this situation, where our compatriots actively show goodwill, but are hunted and killed at will by humans, wasting the nutrients that our compatriots have worked hard to accumulate."

"Well, you failed, and I failed too. We both thought things were too simple."

Qi Yan did not deny his failure: "But failure is not terrible, the important thing is that you did not give up, right?

You still maintain this biological form, and you even sent Idia, the little cat-eared sea girl with white fur and red eyes."

Yitar's small body pressed tightly against Qi Yan's chest.

It seemed to feel more relaxed than ever before: “Sir, Idia, is that her name now?

She didn’t return to the herd, did she succeed?”

"She succeeded, but unfortunately, her success cannot be replicated on a large scale." Qi Yan joked, "After all, not everyone is Kal'tsit, who can't help but pick up the little doll when she sees it.

Kal'tsit is such a double standard lynx. I can't find old men and old women, but she can secretly pick up children by herself!"
