Chapter 033 The Ghost in the Belly (1)

  The sea water came from the left side like a mountain, a force that could not be overcome knocked me out, Shui Liu Lang was also caught off guard and was pushed to the side by the waves.

  Waves surging, a huge incomparable blood red deep hole appeared in front of us, hole along the perimeter, erected several rows of white giant sharp knives, blood hole a suck, will be next to the sea beast swallowed in, like a cock pecked a small worm. Looking backwards along the blood hole, the dark blue mountains were smooth and oily, endlessly extending, I don't know how long it was.

  Oh my god, it was actually a superb sea beast! The bloody hole was its bloody mouth! The sharp knives were its teeth! The majestic undulating mountains were its body!

  For a moment, me, Shui Liu Lang, and Mirage San Lang were all dumbfounded. A sea beast of this size was too terrifying!

  The blood-red deep hole lunged at us again, and in an instant, the field of vision was all red. Shui Liu Lang and Mirage San Lang flew backwards, I screamed furiously and just escaped a few metres, my eyes suddenly went black and I was swallowed by the sea beast.

  It was like entering another world. Damp, stuffy, and filled with a fishy odour, I almost suffocated over.

  My surroundings shook violently, I was unsteady and slid down a thick pipe, surrounded by black goo, surging with viscous juice. "With a thud, I landed in a large greasy pit, with many pieces of meat piled up nearby, flowing slowly in the greasy juice. I was shocked and delighted, damn it, I was eaten by a sea beast, but I'm still alive! Even the map of the Self-Sustaining Sky was tightly squeezed in my hand.

  "Hahahahaha!" I climbed up and couldn't help but let out a loud laugh, Laozi really didn't die! Sea Beast ah, you are truly a great saviour for old me.

  "Boom Boom Boom ......" The surrounding area shook violently, a moment to rush forward, a moment to sink violently, a moment to go up and down and flip over. I was made to fall over, I guess the sea beasts are fighting with Mirage Saburo and the others at this moment. I hastily reached out and clung to the ground to steady myself. The ground was soft, the flesh was thick and oily, and I didn't know what kind of organ the sea beast had.

  Damn, in case Mirage Saburo and the others kill the sea beast and cut open its stomach, won't they find me? Thinking of this, I got nervous again, if they saw me being eaten by the sea beast, in order to get the map of the self-same sky, they would definitely cut open the sea beast's stomach. I hurriedly prayed to God and worshipped the Buddha, Sea Beast, Sea Beast, now it's a corpse with two lives. Whether I die or live, it depends on you.

  As if flying in the clouds, the sea beast suddenly up and down, east and west, my heart also with it thumping chaotically. As far as the eye could see, there was a large, deep hole in the distance, and all the broken chunks of flesh flowed into it. I staggered over to it, the hole was huge like a castle, the opening was half closed, like a sieve, densely covered with deep red round holes. Just as I reached the edge of the hole, hundreds of long tentacles "whooshed" out of the holes, wrapped around me and the nearby pieces of flesh, and yanked them towards the hole. I subconsciously wanted to struggle, but on second thought, the deeper I hid in the belly of the sea beast, the safer I would be. So I didn't move a muscle and let the tentacles drag me in.

  Once inside the cave, I realised that it was even more vast inside, and I couldn't see the edge at a glance. The floor was littered with sticky stuff, glistening with murky foam. High up on the cave wall grew a large tabletop sucker with tentacles attached to the other end. "Clatter, clatter, clatter, clatter," the tentacles curled together with force, winnowing chunks of minced meat into powder, and the tentacles wrapped around me were trying desperately hard to crush me.

  "Sorry about that, sea beast mate." My dragon butterfly claw probed out and ripped the tentacle off. At the break, milky white sap suddenly spurted out, and after a while, a section of tentacle grew back from the broken place, and it seemed to recognise me, swiftly stretching out and wrapping itself around me once again.

  I had to retreat backward, the tentacles as if they had eyes, chasing me, the farther I fled, the longer it stretched out. Holy shit, I was really born to run away! I flattened my body and used a Charming Dance stance, my legs stomped in the air and dodged to the side.

  "Whew!" The tentacle skimmed tightly against my head, curved and retracted, and rolled backwards to lunge back at me. At that moment, the rest of the tentacles began to swarm towards me as well, hundreds of tentacles attacking at the same time, causing me to scramble.

  I wanted to use my Dragon Butterfly Claw to spray fireballs, but I was afraid of hurting the sea beast, and if it was finished, I would be in bad luck as well. I had no choice but to perform the Phantom Dance, dodging on one side and fleeing in a mess on the other. This is not a solution, I found that the tentacles in the depths of the hole are sparse, so I ran there, hundreds of tentacles chased behind me at a rapid pace, I do not know how long I ran, the tentacles suddenly shrunk back in unison. It turned out that the hole had come to an end.

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

  The sound of waves roaring, outside the cave rushed dark red water, gushing, like a big river, unfathomable, twisting and turning into the distance. I couldn't help but stop in my tracks.

  At that moment, the sea beast shook violently, as if suddenly turned over, I immediately stumbled, "flop", fell out of the hole, fell into the river.

  What a pungent flavour! I coughed loudly, choked out the liquid that gushed into my mouth and nose, and floated out of the river. The water in this river was like chilli juice, so smoky that I could barely open my eyes. The current was so fast that it carried me several hundred metres at once, and I paddled on all fours, trying my best to steady myself. The river bank, all the way to the dense growth of spikes, spikes in the shape of a large tree, there are branches and leaves, only the tip of the tree sharp as a spear. The strangest thing was that these spikes were still jumping around and letting out a screech.

  I watched in amazement and wonder, the stomach of this sea beast was like another heaven and earth, full of magical things. Suddenly, I felt as if someone was spying on me, and when I turned around, in the forest of spikes, a bit of white light flashed and disappeared. I rubbed my eyes, was I seeing things?

  The river gradually opened up, and along the way, countless strange sights swept past from both sides, all things I had never seen before. In the centre of the river, a towering peak of flesh appeared, where the great river began to diverge, turning into dozens of them, circling the peak of flesh and fanning out to different places.

  I hesitated for a moment, should I jump onto the bank, or let the river continue to carry me forward? I didn't have time to think about it, but on a meaty peak facing me, dozens of strange greenish-grey things suddenly crawled down, like crabs, holding up their large chelae and swimming viciously towards me.

  For safety's sake, I leapt forward and jumped onto the riverbank. The crabs chased me to the bank, glaring at me and lingering. Damn it, the tiger is being bullied by the dog! My heart was on fire, I probed out the dragon butterfly claw, grabbed a few crabs and crushed them, the rest of the crabs were scared and swam away.

  Looking at the dead crabs, I felt a little hungry, and I didn't know if I could eat these crabs. Picking up one, I put it in my mouth and tasted it, the crab meat was white and tender and fat, and there was also firm crab yolk, even if it was eaten raw, the flavour was still first class! I immediately gobbled up the crabs, which were very large, and after eating a few of them, I was full.

  Along the riverbank, I walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, the ground was soft and slippery, like a mudflat, full of high and low meat buds. Leaning against a thick bud of flesh, I sat down, only then feeling exhausted. After a night of escaping with my life, I was almost at the limit of my physical strength.

  With violent turmoil still going on all around me, I was a little apprehensive, wondering what was going on out there now. Thinking about it, I drifted off to sleep.

  When I woke up, the surrounding area had stopped shaking and was slowly sinking downwards. I was so shocked that I didn't even dare to breathe. Could it be that Mirage Saburo and the others had killed the sea beast? After a long time, there was still no movement at all, my heart was at first happy and then sad, the sea beast might have gotten rid of its enemies, after all, a giant super sea beast like this is not so easy to kill. However, even if the sea beast is safe and sound, I don't plan to go out immediately. Mirage Saburo and the others must still be searching for me in the nearby waters, and they wouldn't rest until they had the map. Since I'm here, I'll be at peace, I'll live in the belly of the sea beast for ten days and half a month before I go out and reunite with the three beauties.

  Having made up my mind, I was just about to stand up, but my back was stuck to the meat buds and I couldn't move. I had no choice but to extend my Dragon Butterfly Claw and tear open the meat bud. The meat bud let out an ear-piercing shriek, and the juice splashed from the break, immediately filling the air with a tantalising aroma. Soon, a new flesh bud grew from the wound.

  Curiously, I dabbed a bit of the juice from the meat sprout and licked it, it was fragrant and thick. I tried to tear off a piece of meat sprout and put it in my mouth to chew, it was like the taste of braised pork, delicious. Haha, this is good, in the next few days, I will eat meat sprouts.

  Walking to the dark red river, I wanted to catch a few more crabs, when I suddenly realised that the crab shells I left on the ground yesterday were gone! My heart flinched, and the feeling of being spied upon arose behind me again. Turning around, a bit of white light disappeared just behind an oval shaped bud of flesh.
