"Hiss—Why is everyone hungry except for you? Is there sothing wrong here?"
Everyone looked at Xie Jian Country.
This was indeed quite strange. Why is everyone starving except for you? What makes you different from everyone else? Oh, you certainly are different from everyone else in many ways.
Yang Yang frowned as he stepped forward and beckoned, "Mr. Xie, co a bit closer. Is it because your body is originally made of sli that you’re not hungry at all? You’ve really never eaten anything since you got here?"
Xie Jian Country made an effort to glide over to the edge of the pool.
To be precise, it was this pile of sli that pushed his head towards the shore—
What on earth is this bizarre phenonon? Jing Shu and Su Malie had their mouths wide open, and Su Malie quietly asked on the side, "Why do I feel like he can control the entire pool of water, or perhaps the whole pool of black sli? Could it all be his body?"
Jing Shu nodded, "That’s not a bad way to put it. Actually, what I’m more interested in now is, if we produce so sli and put it into the pool, would it beco a part of Mr. Xie’s body?"
Hey, with that question, everyone beca curious.
Jing Shu ca to the edge of the pool and pinched so of the sli, cool yet burning. She quietly collected a little into her space.
Xie Jian Country arrived at the edge of the pool, also pondering the question, "I think as long as it’s connected to the sli, it’s part of my body. But I’ve been trapped here for so long, never taking a single step out, and really can’t leave."
Oh, he finally understood what Sun Xingzhe, Sun Monkey felt being crushed under the Five Elents Mountain, forced to stay in a dark place, neither eating nor drinking—it was driving him crazy.
Yang Yang examined Xie Jian Country’s body; that massive sli was indeed part of his body. "Looks like we need to prepare Plan D. Xie Jian Country’s body is also a big problem. We’ll have to find a way to relocate Mr. Xie—his body is so massive—"
Zhen Nantian nodded, "True, but this Plan D can integrate with transportation energy, since it’s now basically confird that Mr. Xie’s body is a massive energy body."
Yang Yang looked at Big Yellow Teeth, "I’ll leave the logistics of transportation to you. Find a way to have the insect and zombie squads help transport Mr. Xie."
Big Yellow Teeth stroked his chin, "This won’t be easy. You say to transport sothing lifeless, that’s simple. We can just disassemble it into boxes or transport it in parts. But to transport such a huge pool of sli? This has to be several tens of thousands of tons?"
One cubic ter of the pool is a ton.
This sli is denser, a cubic might be over a ton.
The large pool here is over a hundred ters wide, and we don’t even know how deep it is. Even with so many insects hoisting trucks—transport in parts, yes; altogether, very difficult.
"Very difficult. Indeed very difficult."
"Who would’ve thought our problem isn’t just about escaping, but also Mr. Xie."
The group discussed with furrowed brows and anxious faces.
Xie Jian Country forced a smile, "If you can’t think of a way, it’s okay. You all leave first. I won’t starve to death here, nor can I die. I can wait for you to co back and save —I’ve been trapped here for so long, after all, and haven’t stepped out. It’s fine, really, it’s fine..."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I have sothing to say." Jing Shu raised her hand, looking speechless at the large crowd before her. Yes, she was particularly speechless at that mont.
"What is it?"
Jing Shu couldn’t help but roll her eyes, "I’m saying, should you cancel that Plan D of yours?"
"Hmm? Why?"
Jing Shu took a deep breath, "Although Mr. Xie is alive, and I admit his body is indeed formidable, but haven’t you guys forgotten sothing, hmm?"
"Forgot what?" The crowd didn’t react.
Jing Shu simply lifted Xie Jian Country, and in the jaw-dropping eyes of everyone, Xie Jian Country was stretched into a long cylindrical shape. Then, Jing Shu sohow managed to cut off the lower sli.
With a "plop," part of the sli fell back into the black pool.
And Xie Jian Country was completely separated from the sli, bewilderedly carried to the shore, notably shorter, but he instinctively stood up, just like a normal person.
Xie Jian Country: "???"
Everyone else: "???"
Jing Shu murmured to herself on the side, "Huh? Trapped for so long without taking a step out, can’t get out anyway?"
Xie Jian Country: "..."
Jing Shu: "Wasn’t it just a step out? Isn’t that great? Brother Xie, see if you can inch forward with the sli or move a bit?"
Imdiately, Xie Jian Country’s face lit up with excitent. He tried to control his now lighter body, and the sli gradually ford countless tentacles, crawling slowly along the ground.
"It moved! It moved!"
Su Malie exclaid, "Just like a snail crawling."
The others blushed, especially Yang Yang, who slapped his forehead hard, "Sorry, never encountered this kind of situation before, I always unconsciously thought the bodies of New Humans were completely fused with Dark Energy, inseparable."
After all, neither Xiao Wei nor Zhang Lang could separate their dark, mutated bodies.
Big Yellow Teeth looked curious, "Shu, how did you know so confidently earlier that it could be separated? What if cutting the connection failed, and he couldn’t go on?"
Jing Shu rolled her eyes again, "I’m not blind. If cutting the connection made Brother Xie unwell, I’d definitely put it back." Actually, she had already done experints, recovering the sli into Xie Jian Country with no reaction, so she knew it wasn’t a big problem.
Big Yellow Teeth gave a thumbs up, "Anyway, you’ve solved a big problem for us."
It was certainly good news that Xie Jian Country’s body could be separated from the energy snot pool, but just as Xie Jian Country was getting used to his lighter body, he said excitedly yet strangely, "I’m hungry. I’m actually hungry. I want to eat sothing! I’ve almost forgotten what hunger feels like! Can I step out to grab a bite?"
