Chapter 261: Frustrated Shrimp Pipiro
In a coral building, Anti moved the giant mantis shrimp here, went out to clean up the seafood attracted by the noise, and came back. He saw that the condition of the giant mantis shrimp seemed to have improved a little.

"Thank you, human..." The mantis shrimp thanked Anti.

"I'm new here and I need some help. You must be a local seafood guy." Anti went straight to the point.

"My name is Pipiro, the vice-captain of the Helvendes Bullet Force...Has Lord Charybdis allowed humans in again after so many years? In this situation, what is the reason?"

Anti noticed its words and asked, "Has anyone come in before?"

"A long time ago, Lord Charybdis took in many humans who had difficulty surviving on land out of sympathy. According to the humans who were taken in, they were displaced by the chaos caused by the wandering gods at that time, so they followed the whirlpool to this place and lived here."

"Before that, we didn't have much contact with the human group, but we got along well afterwards. They integrated quickly. Lord Charybdis controlled the Deep Ocean Center and adjusted the space here so that humans can live here safely like us sea people."

An asked, "What about those humans now?"

"You must have seen a lot along the way since you came here." Pipiro's voice was a little low.

"Those fishmen?" Anti was not surprised, rather he had expected it.

"Yes, humans have been contaminated by the abyss without permission, and the abyss has brought about mutations. That kind of mutation can combine different life forms. Fish are most likely to combine with humans, so many of them have become fishmen in the mutation. Of course, there are also other sea creatures that have combined with humans because of the abyss..."

"Humanity is contaminated by the abyss?"

"It was humans who first brought the pollution, everyone said. So humans were driven out of the city. The life that was contaminated by the abyss and forcibly mixed was called 'sea people' by us. The people who were driven out and the sea people gathered under the underwater volcano east of Havendes, and no one knows what's happening to them now..."

"But you don't seem to have much hostility towards me." Anti said.

"You helped me, there is no doubt about that. And what's wrong with blaming humans? Even if humans and the sea people were driven out, Havendes still fell in the end, and the entire Deep Ocean Core was in chaos. Even if it was a human problem at the beginning, the subsequent separatist war in the Deep Ocean Core, which led to the complete spread of the Abyss, has little to do with humans."

Pipiro said calmly.

"However, in such a desperate environment, my feeling does not mean that other sea creatures feel the same way. If you see other rational sea creatures outside, don't trust them casually. The abyss makes sea creatures crazy, but even if there is no abyss, it is difficult for normal sea creatures not to go crazy after living here for a long time."

"Then I should be thankful that you are a seafood who can distinguish right from wrong." Anti said.

"I am just a useless person. I can't do anything about the current situation. I have only a few troops left, and my brother..."

"elder brother?"

"My brother Pipilo is the captain of the bullet unit and is more powerful than me. But he was also eroded by the abyss in the battle to defend Havendes... I wanted to give him a decent ending, but I couldn't do it." Pipilo said dejectedly.

Anti took a look at the injuries on Pipiro's body and asked, "Did your brother beat you?"

"Yes, I mustered up the courage to challenge it, but still lost. The gap is very obvious. You should also not get close to the northern sand fortress of Havendes. Brother Pipilo is a famous warrior in Havendes. Even if he has been eroded by the abyss and his skills have degraded, he is still powerful." Pipilo reminded.

Anti accepted its good intention casually, and then asked: "I am not the only one brought here by the whirlpool, there are also many humans and a large ship. Have you seen similar movements recently?" Hearing this, Pipiro thought for a moment and said: "I was concentrating on my own affairs and didn't pay much attention to my surroundings. If you want to talk about movements, you can go to the southern parish of Havendes. There is the protection of the Light Church, and some normal sea creatures have been preserved there, as well as some speculators who do not forget to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit even now. But it must be said that they can still operate and make a profit in this environment, and they do have something to gain. Some of them are well-informed. You can ask them, but be prepared to bleed."

"Prepare for bleeding? Okay." Anti replied honestly.

To determine where the blood will come from, we have to see the attitude of the seafood we encounter.

"...I feel a little tired and my injuries are quite serious. I need to rest." After saying a lot at once, Pippi Luo lay down dejectedly.

"Are you okay like this? You look seriously injured." Anti said.

Half of the body is sunken, which looks really scary.

Although the bleeding has stopped temporarily, it doesn't seem to be getting better.

"It's a serious injury. With the power of the Light of the Sea, it might improve significantly... but for a shrimp like me, it's better not to..." Pippi Luo had just said some discouraging words when he saw Anti take out a unicorn horn that was shining with a faint blue light from his waist bag.

"Is this ok?"

"...Uh, the Horn of Sea Light...that is a characteristic only possessed by the direct recipients. Even if they go crazy because of the abyss, they are not opponents that can be easily dealt with." Pipiro was a little surprised.

"So can I save you?"

"Yes, although the power has faded a lot, it is enough. These lights are the blessings of Lord Poseidon. We are also lives created by Lord Poseidon, so even if it is just a little, it is enough. But this is a very precious thing. Perhaps one horn is enough for you to get the information you want from the dealer in the parish. You shouldn't spend it on a shrimp like me." Pippi Luo said humbly.

It seemed that the crushing defeat at the hands of its crazy brother was a huge blow to it, and its spirit was no longer worthy of its current majestic mantis shrimp appearance.

But Anti didn't care much and placed the horn in front of it: "I'll give it to you. Your information is worth the price. We can talk about other things later."

"...Thank you so much. This information is very basic...If you need any other help in the future, you can come to me and I will do my best to help you." As he spoke, Pippi Luo slowly lowered his head and gently nibbled on the Horn of Sea Light.

Anti stayed for a while and saw light blue spots gathering on its body. During the recovery process, it couldn't hold on for too long. It was already exhausted from talking to Anti and now it fainted.

An Ti stood up, looked around, and asked Big Mouth to help arrange the outer protection of this coral building.

After doing this, he turned and left, heading towards the southern parish that Pipiro mentioned.

He is now in the western flat coral area. There is only one giant coral pillar in the entire area, and the other coral buildings are not particularly tall. It should have been a simple residential area in the past.

Although he knew he had to go south, the terrain of Havendes was too complicated, so Anti could only find the approximate direction and then concentrate on his journey.

If you are not careful, you might get lost here again.
