I Slaughtered Through the Dungeon Worlds with My Cheats-Chapter 666 - 279: The Cheat Has Arrived, You’ve Gained a Secret
Chapter 666: Chapter 279: The Cheat Has Arrived, You’ve Gained a Secret
Mu Rufeng didn’t say much, but he remained squatting in place.
Because the entrance was only one meter high, Mu Rufeng, who was more than 1.8 meters tall, had to remain crouched.
"It’s a bit dark, wait a moment, I’ll light a lamp." The old man fumbled on his body and took out a transparent bubble, which suddenly emitted a white light.
Inside the bubble, there was some black liquid, and in the liquid, there were many white granules the size of fingernails.
Although they were only the size of fingernails, they were the fist-sized granules he had seen earlier in the black liquid below.
"You’re tall, this place is indeed too small. Let’s move forward a bit," said the old man as he started walking ahead.
Mu Rufeng could only follow behind, taking small steps while squatting.
It seemed the old man knew that it was inconvenient for Mu Rufeng to walk, so he did not walk fast.
After walking about twenty meters and turning a corner, at the end of the passage, white light radiated.
"It’s just ahead," the old man pointed to where the white light was and quickened his pace.
Soon, the two of them had left the small passage.
Before them was a bright world, much larger—about ten times larger—than the place Mu Rufeng had first entered in the instance.
Their standing spot was a corridor, encircling the huge cave.
Looking downward, buildings made of flesh extended layer by layer to the bottom.
And above, on the flesh walls, were embedded huge amounts of white granules.
It was these white granules that illuminated the place as if it were daylight.
"This is our clan’s habitat, it’s a pity, such a great place, yet it is to be destroyed," the old man sighed.
"Uncle, where exactly is this place? And who are you all? You look similar to humans, but you look so..."
Mu Rufeng sized up the old man, then his gaze swept over the people below, but he did not finish his sentence.
Initially, Mu Rufeng thought the old man suffered from some disease, which made him dwarf-like.
But seeing those below who were of similar stature to the old man, Mu Rufeng knew they were definitely a clan—a clan of abnormally short creatures.
"Short, huh? Obviously, you can see, we’re not humans, nor are we Abnormalities, we are the Dwarf Demon Clan, native creatures of the Mysterious World," the old man said slowly.
"My name is Anrub, the Clan Leader of the Dwarf Demon Clan. You must be an external Contractor, right? How may I address you?" Anrub said.
"Yes, I’m Mu Rufeng." Mu Rufeng nodded.
"That invitation was sent out several years ago, finally a Contractor has arrived," Anrub’s face showed a happy smile.
"Was the invitation sent by the Clan Leader?" Mu Rufeng asked, slightly surprised.
"Indeed, you must have also figured out by now, our strength isn’t strong," Anrub stated.
Mu Rufeng nodded slightly.
The members of the Dwarf Demon Clan were not strong; most below were first-level, some were Level 2, and a very few were third-level.
And Anrub in front of him was also third-level.
"Do you know where we are exactly?" Anrub looked at Mu Rufeng and asked.
"It seems to be inside some kind of giant creature," Mu Rufeng answered.
"Correct, we are inside one of the Three Great Tyrants of the Dead Sea, the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale," Anrub said slowly.
"One of the Three Great Tyrants of the Dead Sea? The Swallowing Sky Demon Whale?" Mu Rufeng was slightly startled, what a special instance this was!
Anrub: "Our Dwarf Demon Clan has thrived and lived inside the Lord Demon Whale for thousands of years. This place is our home, but one day, our home became infested with a large number of parasites."
Mu Rufeng frowned slightly: "Parasites?"
"Yes, parasites. The ones you saw earlier, and also what I’m holding, as well as those that emit white light, are all parasite eggs," Anrub explained.
"The ones I saw? Do you mean those white granules inside the black liquid? All these glowing ones are the white granules?" Mu Rufeng asked doubtfully.
"The ones in the black liquid are live eggs, which will come to life and devour us when they encounter our kind."
"And these that emit light, those are the dead eggs we killed, which we use for illumination."
"Once our Dwarf Demon Clan was at its peak with a population in the millions, but now, we have been reduced to so few because of these parasites," Anrub said, sadness in his eyes.
Mu Rufeng glanced below, silently calculating, the total population here was less than a thousand, just over seven hundred.
Mu Rufeng looked at Anrub: "So, did you send the invitation for me to exterminate these parasites?"
"Yes, warrior from the Otherworld, I hope you can help our Dwarf Demon Clan, to eliminate those parasites."
"Our clan coexists with the Lord Demon Whale, and whenever an abnormality occurs inside the Swallowing Sky Demon Whale, we go to handle it."
"Since the parasites appeared, our clan has been battling them for decades; our peak population was once millions."
"Because of the Lord Demon Whale’s immense size and its diverse diet, even rocks are part of its diet."
"Because it eats a lot and eats miscellaneously, there are always some hard little things that get stuck inside the Lord Demon Whale, and even the Lord Demon Whale finds them difficult to handle."
