Chapter 371 My House Is Quite Big
"What are they doing?"
When the giant whale left his temporary nest, he came to the fjord where the troglodyte lived and found that the environment here was very different from the past.
The troglodytes gathered in twos and threes. Regardless of whether they were men or women, they were all bare-chested, wearing painted sharkskin shorts, and tied around their waists with ribbons symbolizing their clan emblems, and they were singing loudly.
The clan's priests used psychic spells to create vast cavities in the sea.
The troglodytes use flint to light fires in the cavities and cook fresh food on the roaring bonfires.
Su Heng remembered that these troglodytes lived in poverty.
Unexpectedly, today was so open-minded. All kinds of treasured animal meat and plants used for seasoning were brought to the ceremony for people to taste.
"this is…"
The giant whale narrowed his eyes and asked with some confusion.
"It should be a celebration." Su Heng returned with a smile, "The environment in Haiyuan is really hopeless and monotonous. If there were no festivals and celebrations to express emotions, it would drive people crazy."
"oh."
The giant whale nodded.
Judging from its appearance, he probably still didn't quite understand the meaning of Su Heng's words.
They stayed above the fjord. When the sea water here is dim and the [Stealth] talent comes into play, the troglodyte cannot detect the whereabouts of the giant lizard at all.
Su Heng saw that the faces of the troglodytes were full of joy, and they felt much more relaxed.
at the same time…
He also felt a little bit disgusted.
For such an important ceremony, I was not invited.
However, when he thought about it and waited for Su Heng to connect his clone, he found that the troglodytes had come to him many times in the past few days, but they were all stopped by the Terrorclaw monsters.
It is expected that the purpose of their coming is for the so-called celebration.
"Well, forget it. This time you still have your heart."
Su Heng smacked his lips.
Although the troglodytes were aliens from the deep sea, Su Heng had a good impression of these honest and hard-working guys.
However, a barbecue is held in the deep sea. The imagination of these troglodytes was indeed quite rich, and Su Heng wanted to taste their delicacies.
Su Heng was not kept waiting for too long.
The troglodyte leader with an old face and stooped body appeared alone beside the giant whale.
"How did you find me?" The giant whale turned slightly sideways, looked at Holden, and asked with a slightly surprised tone.
Is it possible that this bad old man like you is also a master of hiding things?
"No, I didn't find any trace of you." Holden was wearing clothes made of water plants, with a plain smile on his face, "I have been waiting for you here."
"wait for me?"
"Well." Holden said, "You are the god of the tribe and the benefactor who saves us. Mudala cannot lack your participation."
The so-called Mudala should be a unique celebration of the troglodyte tribe.
"They are having a great time, so I won't disturb them." The giant whale shook his head.
After absorbing a large amount of God-given stones, the giant whale grew in size again, making it inconvenient to do many things.
"It's okay, we have separate food for you."
Holden said with a smile.
He spread his hands, and a string of bubbles flew out of his palms.
It expands rapidly in sea water, and each transparent bubble contains cooked food.
There are octopus tentacles, cooked proteins from zerg, and large chunks of barbecue... Although the environment of the abyss is barren, there are many strange ingredients that can be used for cooking because of the special environment where fish and dragons are mixed.
Some of them tasted particularly good, which impressed Su Heng deeply.
"this…"
Well, the giant whale is also curious about what the food treated with flames will taste like.
He no longer refused, but carefully used the baleen to separate into a golden anaconda snake, taking one bite at a time and swallowing the bubbles suspended in the seawater into his body like eating dumplings.
"Well!"
Taste that has never been experienced before is transmitted from the taste buds to the nerves.
The giant whale's little face first frowned, and then gradually relaxed, and every eye was shining.
Delicious!
If Holden wasn't here.
Su Heng felt that the giant whale might make two long beeps.
Like the wind and the remaining clouds, all the remaining bubbles were swallowed into the belly of the giant whale, and then he belched with unfulfilled satisfaction.
"It tastes good."
A powerful voice reached my ears.
The giant whale was stunned for a moment. The sound was not made by Holden, but came from behind him.
His muscles tensed up at first and then slowly relaxed. He turned around slowly and saw a majestic figure standing behind him, so tall and ferocious that it was difficult to describe it in words.
It was a humanoid creature.
Its body is bloated and fat, its rough skin is covered with wrinkles, its majestic face is covered with tentacles like an octopus, and there are two tattered bat wings on its back, extending into the darkness.
The most eye-catching thing is that this guy wears a black bowler hat on his head and holds this weird cane in his left hand.
That look doesn't look like a giant beast from the deep sea.
On the contrary, he looks like an old-school gentleman attending a celebration. Paired with the scary face of a monster, it gives people a nondescript feeling.
"finally come."
The giant whale took a deep breath.
When he destroyed the troll in the flesh and blood abyss that day, he had a hunch that the troll was not a natural formation but some kind of artificial life.
At that time, he guessed that things would not end so easily.
So, after collecting enough God-given stones.
The giant whale immediately began to retreat, seizing the time to improve his strength to deal with all possible situations.
Now it seems that the choice he made at the beginning was indeed correct.
"Don't be nervous."
Just when the giant whale's face was solemn and the radiation gradually rose.
The tall giant who suddenly appeared behind him spoke in a muffled voice. As he said that, he also spread his hands to indicate that he had no ill feelings.
Although he looked weird.
But the giant whale could still tell that the guy in front of him was not a subspace demon or other aliens. Valley Mongoose
But a genuine deep-sea overlord, with the blood of Terraria flowing in his body, and he was the same kind of person as himself. Under this premise, the giant whale is willing to retain a certain degree of trust.
After hearing the giant's voice, Enoch slowly dispersed the radiation in his body.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
"I haven't introduced myself yet, it's really rude." The giant took off his hat, bowed to Su Heng, and then slowly introduced himself, "My name is C'Thun, the patron saint of the deep divers."
"C'Thun..."
Horton's old face was covered with undisguised fear.
The giant whale also chewed on the name repeatedly. Kaltai once mentioned to him that C'Thun was one of the three overlords in the middle layer of the abyss.
"Did you arrange the troll that attacked me in the abyss of flesh and blood?"
The giant whale said in a serious tone.
The giant named C'Thun was surprisingly polite, which was beyond Su Heng's expectation.
Before coming, Hai Qi also told him that the monsters in the middle layer of the abyss were all moody guys, sometimes even more dangerous than the big demons.
But the current situation seems to be not as Hai Qi said.
Of course, I am willing to talk.
Su Heng always kept alert to these mysterious guys, and emphasized that it was the troll who attacked him first, and he had no choice but to kill the guy.
First, hold the truth in your own hands.
"Well, I understand." C'Thun spoke again, his tone was still steady, without any change.
He said, "However, that fallen troll is not my follower, it is Cthugha's clone. He also told me the news about you."
"Cthugha?"
"Yeah." C'Thun nodded, "Although I don't want to admit it, that guy is indeed the strongest among us."
"His personality is volatile, but in this matter, he showed some..."
"What?"
"Some incomprehensible tolerance." C'Thun carefully considered,
"The Abyss is a prison for the alien demons, and the same is true for us. The long and lonely life makes us moody, Cthugha is like this, and so am I."
"So."
The giant whale gradually lost his patience and was not interested in talking nonsense with this giant here, "What is the purpose of your coming to me?"
"Want to fight, or for other reasons."
C'Thun is a behemoth nearly 500 meters tall, stronger than the fallen troll.
But after absorbing the genes of the mythical snake, the giant whale has also undergone a complete transformation and is not afraid of any challenges in front of it.
In fact…
If he could really fight with a deep-sea overlord like C'Thun, Enoch would be happy.
"No, I have no grudges against you, so there is no need to fight with you."
C'Thun waved his hand and said something that surprised Su Heng, "We are all outstanding descendants born from the sea. Fighting and killing will hurt the harmony."
"..."
Let's not talk about what the giant whale thinks.
C'Thun continued to speak and explained his origins: "I came here because of the stone tablet."
"Stone tablet, what's the use of that thing?"
In the past half a month, Su Heng and the giant whale have repeatedly studied the stone tablet several times, but there is no valuable information.
Now, he is about to give up.
Unexpectedly, C'Thun took the initiative to bring it up.
"That is a special identity certificate. Only with the recognition of the stone tablet can you be qualified to step into the deepest layer of the abyss."
"What is there?"
"I don't know either." C'Thun answered honestly, "It is a road full of thorns and dangers. We have never stepped into the deepest layer of the abyss." C'Thun said.
"However, I believe you can already perceive that the body of the big snake is upside down. You should understand what the bottom of the abyss means."
"That is the skull of the big snake." The giant whale understood something in a trance.
The skull is where the spiritual sea is located. Since entering the fourth level of life, it has been the real core of life.
Su Heng couldn't guess what would be there specifically, but it was certain that the things inside must be very precious.
"With this stone tablet, you have one more competitor. If I took away those treasures first, you would have stayed here for hundreds of years in vain. Wouldn't you be unwilling?"
Su Heng didn't believe that there was a free pie in the sky.
"Your thinking is really too narrow." C'Thun's tone became a little serious:
"Just like you said, we have been here for hundreds of years, and the treasure is there, but we can't take it out. That only means that we are not qualified. If you can take it away, we will only congratulate you... No matter what, as a child of Terraria, we believe that the legacy left by the snake will be much more valuable in your hands than just leaving it there."
This realization...
After hearing what C'Thun said, Su Heng was slightly moved.
Before unlocking the sixth template, he actually didn't have a very good impression of the sea people.
Especially when he first came into contact with them, the sea beasts stood on the opposite side of Garlon, and the bloodthirsty and brutal character naturally left Su Heng with a bad first impression.
Even for a long time.
Those deep-sea monsters were directly equated with the subspace demons in Su Heng's eyes.
However, after more and more contact and a deeper understanding of the sea people, he gradually walked out of his prejudice.
From the Sea King Barsalo who sacrificed his eyes to see the truth of the world, to Lord Tilith who silently protected the marine ecology, to the straightforward lizardmen in the real world, and C'Thun in front of him.
Just as what Sea King Barsalo said to him at the beginning.
The saying that those who are not of my kind must have different hearts seems to be correct in the world of Terraria.
But in the scale of the boundless starry sky, the sea people are no different from humans and other intelligent creatures. They are also the masters of Terraria.
"I understand."
Su Heng was silent at first, and then answered in a heavy voice.
"This is the first thing." C'Thun continued in a slightly serious tone, "Since you have obtained the recognition of the stone tablet, you also need to assume corresponding obligations. For example, knocking those restless demons, cleaning up the over-proliferated insect swarms, maintaining order in the entire sea area, etc."
"I understand." Anyway, with the help of the clone, Su Heng didn't mind these things.
Moreover, the growth of the giant whale and the improvement of the mother nest itself require a large number of insect swarm demons as materials. Even if C'Thun didn't mention it, Su Heng would start to do this soon.
"Very good." C'Thun finally squeezed out a terrifying smile on his face.
"You are better than I thought. Why don't you come to my house and sit down? My house is quite big, and there are many delicious and fun things in it. On the way, I can also take you to the entrance of the abyss."
"This, this is not to bother you..."
