Chapter 379: Survival Rules in Hell

As the mouth opened, the densely packed sharp teeth were exposed.

The teeth were curved inward, looking like barbs.

Before he could bite Dante.

Dante had already opened his eyes.

The crown on his head began to shine.

The body of the unknown creature trembled violently.

It seemed to have seen something that frightened it.

Just as it was about to shrink back to the ground, Dante's hands had already hugged it tightly.

As Dante exerted force with both hands, the creature was pulled out from the ground.

The fainting just now was still faked by Dante.

Dante smiled and said:

"Although the method is very old-fashioned, it works well."

Dante said hoarsely, resisting the dryness in his mouth:

"I have some questions to ask you."

"If you can answer all my questions, you can live."

The maggot-like creature twisted its body wildly.

Dante's hands were like iron pliers, holding him tightly.

After a long time, it stopped struggling.

It seemed to agree with Dante's proposal.

Dante held it in his arms, like a maggot.

In this way, the two sides began to communicate.

…………

When Dante asked the last question, he looked at the white maggot in his arms and said hoarsely:

"Okay, I've finished asking questions."

"You can live."

"But before that, you need to do me a favor!"

The maggot's mouthparts squirmed wildly, and its body was held tightly by Dante and could not move.

Dante forced a smile on his face and said to it:

"Lend me some of the water in your body, and then take me to that post office."

"When I get there, I will find a way to thank you."

The maggot hesitated for a while, and its mouthparts began to squirm.

Some water began to precipitate from its body surface.

As the water precipitated, its body was no longer as white and tender as before.

It became a little wrinkled.

The water precipitated from its body was not much, just one cup in total.

But Dante was already very satisfied.

Through the conversation with the maggot, Dante learned a rule for survival here.

In this world, there is one thing that is indispensable.

That is water.

After a long period of evolution, the creatures here have developed a skill to store water in their bodies.

This skill allows them to survive better in hell.

When the water runs out, they will die.

So most of the time, water is used as currency for transactions in this world.

And this white maggot can be regarded as a rich man in this world.

This can be seen from his white and tender body.

It has plenty of water in its body.

Dante did not think of killing him to seize his wealth.

Because he still needs him to take him to the post office.

Only when he gets to the post office can he contact Fez.

As a native life of hell, Fez must know more about hell than Dante.

As long as the two meet, Dante's subsequent work will become simple.

After all, Fez is also one of the kings of hell.

I think there should be no lack of water.

Dante collected the water from the maggot and drank it all in one gulp.

After the water nourished his mouth, Dante felt comfortable.

Without resting, the maggot took Dante into the ground.

Moving under the ground can better avoid the sun.

In this way, the water consumption will be relatively less.

At this time, Dante understood what Feis said.

There are many creatures in hell, but hell is too vast to see other creatures.

So hell is lonely.

After coming in for so long, Dante only found two creatures in total.

One is the crow, and the other is the white maggot.

The white maggot moves very fast in the ground.

The mouthparts on its head keep biting the soil in front of it, like a shield machine.

And it can extract the pitiful amount of water from the soil.

The soil is digested by its body and then excreted from its tail.

Dante followed the earthworm and moved forward quickly, and began to think at the same time.

"Normally, I don't need any water to survive."

"It should be that the sun contains some kind of rules."

"This rule drives the creatures in hell to fight and take the water from each other's bodies."

"It's really hell."

Dante already has a preliminary understanding of this world.

Through the previous conversation with the white maggot, Dante roughly knows the distribution of this world.

There are also gathering areas of creatures in hell.

That is what human civilization calls cities.

Among them, kings like Feis are also considered strong men who rule one side in hell.

There are also gods in hell.

These gods are called monarchs.

They are the leaders of those biological gathering areas, in other words, they are also called mayors.

And Feis has always called him the Grand Lord.

Dante learned from the white maggot.

The Grand Lord is just an existence that exists in legends.

The person called the Grand Lord is the common master of hell.

Even those monarchs need to bow their heads when they see him.

It can be regarded as an emperor.

Those monarchs are princes of various parties.

The king is the strongest person under the monarch.

Below that are the slaves.

Everyone below the king is a slave.

This is a world with clear and strict hierarchy.

Like this white maggot, its identity is actually a slave.

But it lives alone in the wild, which can be considered free.

The problem that Dante is thinking about is that these monarchs in hell should not recognize his identity as a great king.

If they know that he has come to hell, they may try their best to kill him.

After all, no one in hell can reason with you.

When he thought of the contents of the note left by Shadow for him.

Dante felt a headache.

One of the notes explained that he needed to form his own force.

It would be best if it was a force composed of hell creatures.

Although Dante hated Shadow's previous behavior of calculating him.

But after he became a god, he promised Shadow to do something for him.

Shadow had already prepared this matter.

That is to help Shadow become a god.

What he needed to do had been told to him through the note left in the cigarette box.

Dante had already realized that he was affected by Shadow's ability.

As for when it started, he had a rough guess.

It should be from the time when he took the cigarette box.

He had been instigated by the shadow.

So this is why he resolutely stepped into hell.

Because what the instigator needs to do will become reasonable.

And the success rate is also very high.

This also means that Dante's trip to hell is likely to be safe.

However, it still requires Dante to fully exert his own abilities.

After all, instigating a fool to do something will fail in the end, no matter how detailed the plan given by the instigator is.
