"What do you mean?"

Liu Zheng seems to understand.

"You humans have an immune system, you know that, right?"

"Know."

He looked a little strange.

Today, two strange residents are going to give him a biology lesson. If you are not literate, you can't pass the dungeon, right?

"We, non-Sewer natives, are like foreign viruses or bacteria to it."

"Once we enter Sewer, it will cause its immune response. The stronger the strength, the stronger the reaction will be."

"So although I can cover you, I may not be able to do it in time."

French Plane Tree explained.

"It turned out to be like this"

Liu Zheng is lost in thought.

Obviously, there is a loophole in Cow-Horse's plan.

But it probably wasn't intentional.

At present, it seems that both it and the intelligence of French Plane Tree have blind spots and need to be combined for reference.

"It's better than nothing. I still want to go down there and give it a try."

Soon, he made a decision.

From the time Liu Zheng entered the dungeon to now, there has never been a time when I have not been seeking wealth and wealth.

"Okay. Take this."

French Plane Tree's two arms fell off automatically and were brought to his eyes by tree roots.

"Each arm can help you once. When you use it up, you will be lucky."

French Plane Tree said.

"Okay. By the way, do you accept this?"

Liu Zheng took out Chaos Club Membership Card from Chaos Club.

"Bien! How did you get this?"

French Plane Tree exclaimed.

"Ghost Hand should have given it to me."

"Chaos Club"

French Plane Tree looked at Chaos Club Membership Card with a complex expression.

The tree roots caressed through the air, but they didn't dare to really touch them.

"I have never really seen what Chaos Club looks like, but that unique aura has been lingering ever since I can remember it."

"To a certain extent, Chaos Club is my hometown."

"Even my ability to possess genius-like wisdom may be related to Chaos Club."

French Plane Tree is rare and somewhat emotional.

"However, because of this, I can feel the horror of Chaos Club even more."

"That breath seems to be one kind, and it seems to be several kinds. One of them is particularly terrifying. It seems to be able to completely erase my existence, whether it is body or soul, or even the past and Mirai."

French Plane Tree retracted the tree roots like an electric shock.

"I won't accept this thing, and I advise you not to use it either."

After a moment of silence, it said.

"Some things are beyond my control."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

What if he receives an order from Chaos Club someday?

He has never been afraid to speculate on the world with the worst possible malice.

"Then before you commit suicide, remember to stay away from me to avoid splattering my blood."

French Plane Tree said.

"Don't you want to go back to your hometown to visit?"

"I remember that in your human language, returning to your hometown also means going to hell."

French Plane Tree sneered.

"You are just a tree, what are you doing with such a high level of education? Do you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

Liu Zheng grabbed the two arms and clasped them on his shoulders.

"Where is the entrance?"

he asked.

"There."

French Plane Tree pointed at a manhole cover not far away and said.

He walked to the manhole cover and opened the cover.

A stench came oncoming, making Liu Zheng suffocate.

But what's interesting is that it's not the smell of a mixture of hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, methanol, amines and other compounds.

It's the smell of bad breath plus gastric reflux.

He held his breath and climbed down the ladder.

The shaft was very long, and it took him several minutes to climb before he stepped on the ground.

It was pitch black all around, just like in Delivery Passage.

Liu Zheng stomped his hoof deliberately. The touch was soft and there was a little rebound.

The four tentacles groped around and soon touched the wall.

It's wet and warm, and it feels like a hemorrhoid plug.

This had to make him think of Delivery Passage again. Are the two actually the same thing?

But if you think about it carefully, it is different.

After getting used to the darkness in Delivery Passage, I feel a sense of stability and calmness.

The darkness in Sewer was not that strong, but there was a faint malice that made him a little restless.

But no matter what, Liu Zheng keeps moving forward.

He turned sideways and walked forward close to the wall.

Every time you take a step, you have to wait until the soles of your front feet are firmly planted before you move your center of gravity forward.

It's funny to do this, but it's necessary.

In this strange world, he must do everything possible to improve his survival rate.

No one knows which carelessness will be the last straw that breaks luck.

After advancing five hundred and seventy-six steps, there was finally light ahead.

They were clusters of luminous moss growing on the wall, emitting a faint dark red light.

Different from the stems and leaves of ordinary mosses, these mosses look like rotten bananas, or...

Well, stop or say, they just look like shit, and they are constipated for a long time.

Liu Zheng remembered the ingredient list of Ascension Hair Moss, Feces Moss couldn't be just this.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but retched a few times, even though he had seen a lot since coming to this world.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Liu Zheng continued to move forward.

The further forward, the more vigorously Feces Moss grows.

And he can see the surrounding environment more clearly, and he can also see the so-called "wall" clearly.

The blue-black surface is covered with ring-shaped ridges, and each ravine is filled with fine wrinkles.

Liu Zheng doesn't know whether he is in Sewer's intestines or in its mind.

"Sanity Decline Immunity succeeded."

The system prompt sounds.

Sure enough, it is right to explore when Legendary Disguise is in effect.

He composed himself and continued to move forward.

Finally, he heard the sound of water.

It's not the sound of running water, but the sizzling sound of a Coke being opened.

Liu Zheng cautiously leaned his head against the wall, and his eyes suddenly became much wider.

A Wastewater River about three meters wide flowed in front of him. There was no end in sight in the direction it was coming from, and there was no end in sight in the direction it was going.

The background color of the river water is dark brown, but it is also mixed with red, green, yellow and other colors, and there is a layer of white foam floating on the surface.

At the same time, bubbles will continue to rise one after another in the river, and then burst immediately after reaching the river surface, releasing brown-red gas.

What gas is brownish-red?

Liu Zheng forgot.

Anyway, he remembered that it was probably poisonous.

However, with his current physique, ordinary toxic gases are not a threat, at most they are a bit uncomfortable.

Liu Zheng After observing for a while, feeling that there was no danger, he walked out of the passage.

When I walked to the river, the smell of bad breath and gastric reflux became more obvious.

"Even if you are not a human being, you still have to brush your teeth."

He couldn't help but say.

Sewer did not respond to him.

Of course, this should be considered a good thing.

After watching it for a while and making bubbles, Liu Zheng decided to try it here first.

If he can't catch any fish, he keeps going.

After all, it's close to the exit, so it's easier to run.

Having made up his mind, he ate two Baiting Agent and then extended his tentacle into the Wastewater River.
