Chapter 597 The Dark Labyrinth (1/2)
Fatty Big Sea kept educating Gao Peng about various matters that needed attention. From its detailed ”guide,” Fatty Big Sea was at least a platinum member of the labyrinth. Gao Peng couldn't help laughing when he thought of that.
”What are you laughing at? I'm telling you about serious stuff.” Fatty Big Sea was a little angry. I'm being serious and cautioning you to pay attention. How could you laugh?! I, Fatty Big Sea, need to be respected too.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
Fatty Big Sea snorted when it saw Gao Peng restrain his smile. ”You should be glad that there's no god on duty in the labyrinth. It's because there's no god on duty that the divine artifact isn't activated now, but even so, it's very dangerous. My strength hasn't been fully restored. If we really encountered any forms of danger, I might not be able to protect you.”
”I won't laugh anymore.” Gao Peng rubbed his stiff face and took a deep breath. ”The divine artifact you've mentioned... This labyrinth is a divine artifact. We're inside a divine artifact?” Gao Peng sized up the wall beside him, but the data frame failed to show up.
”Yes, we're inside a divine artifact,” Fatty Big Sea said lightly. ”Is it surprising or beyond your expectations? This isn't the core of the divine artifact; to control the core of the labyrinth, we must find it. The core of the labyrinth is in the deepest part of it. I managed to get inside some years ago.” Fatty Big Sea was proud when it said the last sentence.
”You're the best,” Gao Peng praised Fatty Big Sea.
Although Fatty Big Sea was familiar with the labyrinth, it was inevitable that they would encounter some monsters there. Just then, Fatty Big Sea revealed the professional capability of a former god—it grew bigger in size, opened its mouth, bit another's head, closed its mouth, and swallowed. The whole process was smooth.
Gao Peng was tired after walking for a while. He said to Fatty Big Sea, ”Fatty Big Sea, can I just merge with you? I can relax in there and you won't have to divert your attention to protect me.”
Fatty Big Sea immediately refused. In fact, Gao Peng had suggested that to Fatty Big Sea previously, but every time, he was severely declined by Fatty Big Sea.
”I'm a god,” Fatty Big Sea said solemnly. ”If other gods saw me merging with a human being, I would lose all of my dignity.”
”Shut your trap. I'm not controlling your body; I'll just observe from the side.” Gao Peng gave it a pat on the head.
Fatty Big Sea hummed and hawed but finally chose to merge with Gao Peng. After merging with the fish, Gao Peng felt the power raging in his body. From Fatty Big Sea's perspective, Gao Peng felt like the world was changing in front of him. There seemed to be a layer of chains linking everything in the world, but he couldn't really see it.
At the edge of the wall in front of him, a faint golden radiance was radiating. Gao Peng's pupils dilated and looked into it. He saw numerous tiny golden runes like tadpoles that were connected into a big net. Gao Peng guessed that the protection the labyrinth was receiving was due to the effects of the golden net.
”Don't move my body recklessly.” Fatty Big Sea turned its neck, but nothing was in sight. Suddenly, it remembered that Gao Peng was in its body and grew displeased again.
Gao Peng coughed and apologized, ”Sorry. I won't do it again.”
Fatty Big Sea's perspective was different from that of the other monsters that Gao Peng had merged with. The real difference was that the energy in his body was as vast and boundless as the ocean, and he could feel the presence of the Sea King Devouring Teeth embedded in his mouth. He had the impression that anything in the world could be broken from his bite.
”Your vision is different from other familiars.” Gao Peng was a little curious. ”I can see a lot of vague chains in your sight. Do you need glasses?”
”Those are the Chains of Rule!” Fatty Big Sea roared. ”You're the one who needs glasses.”
”Rules are everywhere. If elements exist among all things in the world, then rules are the framework of those elements; rules exist in all things in the world.” Fatty Big Sea seemed a little proud. ”These rules are invisible to ordinary monsters.”
But Gao Peng didn't reply. After a while, Fatty Big Sea, chattering to itself, felt that it was unenjoyable. The worst thing in the world was when one was showing off but no one was looking...
Fatty Big Sea relied on its familiarity with the labyrinth and soon found the depths. The surroundings became extreme and harsh. Lightning struck from time to time in the void. The walls, which were composed of lightning, were thundering too. Fatty Big Sea was akin to a beautiful ballet dancer; it was dancing around danger and avoiding the lightning net skillfully.
When Gao Peng saw its skillful movements, he felt a little sorry for Fatty Big Sea.
