"This is really bad."
Lu Ping'an had thought about what the other side of the vortex was like, but when he really stepped into the world of the octopus, he frowned.
The skin of fish and human beings is very special. Not only is it sensitive, but they can also "taste" through the sensory organs on it. When Lu Ping'an just arrived in a foreign land, the feedback from his nervous system was a strong feeling of vomiting.
This is the fish people "tasting the water", and this area of water is obviously not suitable for the life of this tribe.
In fact, the cat fish over there is really vomiting.
".Did I make the sensory system wrong? No, this is made with the fishman template of Mercury 42. It's impossible that the same thing smells bad over there and smells good over here. It's not a dog."
"There is nothing wrong with your outer shell. The problem is the world."
Chris, on the other hand, looked calm and seemed completely unconcerned about the current environment.
Even though there were some black threads in the surrounding waters and the sand content was alarmingly high, she didn't care.
"It's just that most foreign lands are not actually suitable for life."
The big cat seemed to have spoken a "truth" that Lu Ping'an had ignored.
Mercury 42. Worlds like Earth are fought over because they are valuable, but most worlds simply exist.
The current octopus world is obviously not suitable for murlocs to live in. Lu Ping'an analyzed it briefly and found that it was not because the water was "toxic", but because the "elements" of this world were quite unfriendly to murlocs.
Lu Ping'an could feel that something seemed to be eroding the murloc's fragile flesh and blood.
".Metal particles?"
As a developer, he quickly came to a conclusion.
Apparently, this discomfort was caused by heavy metal poisoning? Was his "biological shell" dying rapidly?
Lu Ping'an closed his eyes. He could feel that some heavy metal elements were corroding his flesh and blood. If it were a mortal, it would have been quite terrible.
Is such a terrible world really suitable as a frontline world? I am afraid that if these fishmen live here for a long time, their numbers will decrease.
"Obviously, in order to live a more comfortable life, those guys will take the initiative to step into the battlefield."
And big cats always come up with terrible but realistic answers.
But a bad environment may not necessarily be a bad thing for outsiders like Lu.
At least, during the half hour or so of waiting, pedestrians on the road were rushing around, and they had no idea that they might be attacked.
"It seems that we need a little help, intelligence from the locals."
Lu Ping'an stared at a group of soldiers and followed them silently. After a few minutes, several of them fell behind, and a few "old acquaintances" who were unfamiliar to no one appeared in the team.
"Replace?" Seeing that the surrounding fishmen quickly accepted him and his group, Lu Ping'an was a little curious about how the big cat did it.
"No. It's just a little control skill. Murlocs are beasts just like humans, so there's no difference in how they're controlled. You also have abilities that enhance friendliness and affinity, right?"
Although every communication with a big cat is a challenge to moral bottom line and common sense, in this case, it is very convenient to have such a companion.
Soon, the patrol team informed their target.
They are the elite patrol team of the lord "Broken Blade". Their main duties are hunting and searching for deserters. The name makes Lu Ping'an feel subtle.
It seems that the traditional title of Murloc is "adjective" plus "weapon (blade/shield, etc.)", and the word "shattered" also vaguely implies that this lord is not very strong.
Following the team, Lu Ping'an also had time to appreciate the scenery of this world. I can only say that it was quite bad.
The sea water was not turbid, but it clearly contained harmful substances, making it impossible to see through the sea water at a distance. Lu Ping'an could see clearly, but he did not find the local plants and animals he was targeting.
Lu Ping'an tried to float to the surface. He saw no stars in the sky and his body felt a little cold, but not cold enough to freeze. The next moment, he denied this judgment.
After leaving the water, the temperature dropped rapidly, and even he felt it was unbearable, but it was still relatively warm underwater. Lu Ping'an still felt below zero, but the freezing point of water in this world did not seem to be zero degrees.
Looking up from the water, Lu Ping'an felt depressed, as if he was placed in a box.
"It's also possible that this isn't water at all."
It can be used as a liquid for biological circulation, which is enough for the fishmen here, but if they are in this obviously poisonous sea, their lifespan will probably not be long.
The situation of this squad was also quite bad. Only a few patrolling soldiers rode on large pack animals. In the middle was the squad leader's private bunker, while most of the ordinary soldiers could only ride on small fish beasts and catch up with great effort.
Several large patrol beasts with some scattered cavalry are the standard combat force configuration of the murlocs, and it seems that there is no difference here.
"Yo, I'm your second uncle's mother's uncle's grandfather."
Although he was talking nonsense, in this team with only a few extraordinary people, he let the big cat take action and Lu Ping'an instantly became everyone's friend.
But these fishmen are not only weak, most of them are mortals and know nothing when asked.
They were only transferred here three months ago. They were not originally from this world, and no one knows what they will do next.
So, following them, Lu Ping'an found the Lord of "Broken Blade".
"You are"
This lord was slightly stronger, at least he could resist the big cat's ability, but this was obviously not a rational choice, especially since it was barely at the command level, and there were at least two super-rule-level fighters here.
Soon, it became a "friend" again.
"Stop fighting, we are friends, stop fighting! If you fight again, you will really die."
The Howling Murloc Lord, this large gray fishman over three meters tall, wailed like that and became Lu Ping'an's new friend.
Lu Ping'an put down his bloody fist and finally got to know some local conditions with the help of this intermediary.
It turns out that this is not the world of the murlocs at all, but an "isolation zone". A race that specializes in foreign invasions and has enough history to study those messy things.
For example, the world network structure that is most suitable for alien invasion.
This is a funnel-like isolation zone. The higher you go, the more worlds there are. And above this "channel bridge", there are at least four normal fishman worlds connected.
"Why is it so troublesome?"
"As long as we seal the entrances and exits, we can ensure good defense. Not only can we deal with spies, but we can also prevent deserters. At the same time, we can prepare for the worst-case scenario." The big cat seemed to know everything.
"Worst case scenario?"
"If an opponent you can't beat comes to your door, or if the opponent uses some killer weapon, then you can just destroy the isolation belt."
This is a bit too much.
"There are at least several hundred space cracks in our war zone. Are they all connected to here?"
"No, they should be dispersed in at least dozens of small and medium-sized spaces, which serve as isolation zones and also as their temporary military camps."
But Lu Ping'an was curious about how it was done.
"There are many possibilities. It could be the domain of a person with special abilities, a special forbidden item, or a space similar to a secret realm. But since it's man-made, stay safe and be prepared."
What preparations? Oh, hearing the knocking sounds outside and sensing the malicious intent mixed with murderous intent, Lu Ping'an suddenly understood.
Sure enough, the owner of this place came to the door.
