"d.a.m.n it…" Grimm cursed, exasperated.

His intention was only to probe a tiny sea area in the Infernal Spirit World, he figured that it was possibly a World Law catastrophe for Level-3 creatures. He did not expect to be accidentally sucked into this Spectral World.

Not only was the Law of the Spectral Worlds different from the Balanced Law of the endless world, but each Spectral World also had its own unique law.

For example, the Dimensional Gaps.

The Dimensional Gaps were the imaginative world ill.u.s.trated in the biographical books and stories in the endless world. It was the gathering place of those mystifying creatures described by the stories and the books. Anything strange and incomprehensible could happen in this kind of world, it was a truly horrifying Spectral World.

After all, it represented the imagination of the intelligent creatures in the endless world.

However, since this Spectral World was somehow connected to the endless world and had sucked Grimm in, at least it did not have the high-intensity function like the Dimensional Gaps. Could it be a world similar to the Nightmare World?

As for the Laws in this world…

Grimm's current findings suggested that this world allowed the creatures to sink into the wonderful fantasy world constructed by themselves in the Phagocytic Sh.e.l.ls. Was the purpose of doing so to culminate some survival energy for these Phagocytic Sh.e.l.ls?

In other words, was this world constructed by these mysterious Phagocytic Sh.e.l.ls?

He was already sober in the Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l, yet he was still trapped in the Spectral World and was unable to communicate with Little Myna in the real world via s.p.a.cetime Coordinated Access. Why?

Grimm landed on the hard ground.

There were also some Phagocytic Sh.e.l.ls on the ground level. Some of which floated a few meters high, some had fallen onto the ground, and some were even half-buried in the ground. As for the presence of Phagocytic Sh.e.l.ls underground, Grimm was not sure.

There was not a single plant on the ground, and the ground itself did not consist of soil and sand, but a layer of hard meat-like flesh.

Because this was a Spectral World, the laws of time, gravity and elemental energy did not work here as they did in the real world.

After a moment of pondering, Grimm approached a black-gray Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l. The sh.e.l.l was about two meters, much smaller than the five-meter Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l that Grimm came out from.

Grimm grabbed both sides of the sh.e.l.l, squeezed his hand into the gap and forcefully pried it opened.

Since this Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l was much smaller than the one that had trapped Grimm, it was relatively easy to pry it open.

Gradually, a half-meter-tall manlike creature with green skin, a big belly, and a small head was unveiled before Grimm. This creature had long nails and meat pads on its toes, representing its excellent ability in gripping, bouncing and running.

At this moment, the little creature was lying on the flesh of the Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l, the little tentacles of the flesh were reaching into the creature's skin.

The creature was deep in his slumber, intoxicated by the self-constructed wonderful dream, his face blus.h.i.+ng with a sweet smile.

This view…

Had the creature become the pearl of the Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l?

After some thought, Grimm closed the sh.e.l.l and decided to look for the extremely rare colorful Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l nearby. According to Grimm's time sense in the Spectral World, he finally found a sh.e.l.l more than ten meters large after an hourgla.s.s.

After nearly exerting all his strength, Grimm eventually managed to pry the sh.e.l.l slightly, opening a tiny gap.

However, Grimm's action seemed to have awakened the creature inside.

Crack!

The sh.e.l.l opened by itself. The dual-colored eyes under Grimm's Mask of Truth watched intensely as a frog-like intelligent creature with a slender and masculine body, smooth and moist skin looked back at him.

The creature was about three meters tall, it had a pair of apricot eyes and eagle-like pupils.

"h.e.l.lo."

Grimm took the initiative to communicate with the creature using the Soul Echo. He was also ready to defend himself and escape at any time in case of danger.

It was because Grimm could feel the exceptionally powerful breath of this intelligent creature, he estimated that the creature had reached a Level-3 biological level!

"Sorcerer?"

Grimm was caught by surprise as he heard the giant frog stating his ident.i.ty in the Sorcerers language, his heart skipped a beat!

He recoiled in shock because, one, the unexpected twist in the event of progression; two, he was worried.

As a powerful and civilized world that constantly went on Demon-Hunting expeditions, the Sorcerer World had inadvertently conquered countless worlds through these expeditions. The hatred of some intelligent creatures whose homes had been destroyed by the sorcerers was probably hurtful enough to penetrate into their bones and imprint into their souls.

Grimm nodded cautiously. "Yes."

Surprisingly, the big frog's reaction was rather dull, in fact, it changed from being a little agitated to being calm. It muttered, "Another sorcerer has fallen into the maze of the sea serpent. Haha. I'm a pupae from the Pupae World, a Level-4 World in the Sorcerer Coalition."

Discreetly, Grimm heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it was from a world in the Sorcerer Coalition. Although the world nominally accepted the leaders.h.i.+p of the Will of the Sorcerer World, a Level-4 world had considerable autonomy and could be regarded as the ruler in the Sorcerer Coalition. They enjoyed the benefit within the coalition with those Level-5 worlds with Eternal Dominators.

From the looks of it, there was no contradiction between their basic background.

Moreover, Grimm noticed some implied information in the pupae's words.

The maze of the sea serpent? Another sorcerer?

Did the maze inflict the desirable hallucination?

Grimm asked impatiently, "Is it what this world is called? The maze of the sea serpent? Do you mean other than me, there are other sorcerers trapped in this Spectral World?"

The pupae crawled out of the colorful Phagocytic Sh.e.l.l and squatted on the ground like a giant frog. The sh.e.l.l closed with a loud squeak, it slowly rose to the dim sky and floated towards the whirlpool.

The pupae glanced at the whirlpool in the sky before it said flatly, "There's still a long time before the Eye of Destruction arrives, I'll take you to the place where all the sorcerers gather, I'm not even sure how many sorcerers there are. As for insisting on being a sorcerer, or becoming a new sea serpent, it's up to you."

Suddenly, Grimm had too much information to process as it was all being squeezed into his head the minute he had stumbled upon this strange creature in this unfamiliar Spectral World.

"What is the Eye of Destruction? What will happen when it arrives?" Grimm asked curiously as they were flying.

The pupae pointed at the big whirlpool in the sky with his forefinger. Grimm noticed the webs between his pale green fingers, suggesting that the Pupae World it lived in should be amphibious.

"When the whirlpool of the sea serpent stops swirling, the Eye of Destruction will arrive. When it comes, except for the Mount Serpentine and the creatures trapped in the Phagocytic Sh.e.l.ls' dream state, all the creatures exposed by the Eye of Destruction will die."

The remake sent a chill up Grimm's spine. He repeated anxiously, "All creatures?"

"All!" The pupae exclaimed in a stern tone.

Grimm went on, "You said earlier it's up to me whether I want to be a new sea serpent, what do you mean by that?"

"Do you see those colorful sh.e.l.ls? The creatures inside the sh.e.l.l actually know that they are living in a Spectral World, but they refuse to wake up, and they have already given up returning to reality. After all, for most intelligent creatures, the world built in the sh.e.l.ls is wonderfully beautiful and amazing."

Grimm nodded somberly. Yes, it was a wonderful world indeed.

Grimm continued on, "What about the Mount Serpentine?"

The pupae was flying midair, but it made a movement that resembled a frog swimming in water.

"It's the place we're going right now. It is the center of the maze of the sea serpent, where all the creatures who don't want to be a sea serpent gather, it is also the only hope to leave this place."
