"Uh... this feels so... terrible."
Crawling out of the worm carrier's stomach along the narrow esophagus, Agatha covered her mouth and retched a few times. "I feel like I was put in a bag full of mucus and slammed against the wall dozens of times."
"That's a good description." Nightingale calmly got out of the Mist, looked at the wet witches, and shrugged. "If Fran hadn't smashed the entrance, we'd all be dead by now." Due to the ability to move freely in the Mist form, she did not need to crawl into the worm's stomach like the others, so naturally she was not affected by the impact, the stench, and the sticky mucus.
"Sorry... did I use too much force?" Fran asked cautiously. The strong smell made Agatha retch again.
"I don't think... it's bad." Lightning wiped the liquid on her hair and sniffed it. "Being swallowed by a giant reptile and then crawling out in one piece is an unprecedented experience. I don't think any explorer has ever tried something like this."
"Don't be so greedy." Elena rolled her eyes. "Compared to feeling nothing, the stench and the sticky feeling are enviable."
The God's Punishment Witches unanimously agreed with Elena's words.
"Alright... stop talking." Agatha coughed twice and interrupted them in a hoarse voice. "The next question is, what should we do?"
The witches still had some lingering fear when they recalled what had happened a quarter of an hour ago. Although Fran had warned them immediately, their bodies were always faster than their minds when it came to controlling their eyes, especially when they heard the strange buzzing sound. More than one of them could not help but raise their head.
No one saw the real body of the monster. The only thing they could see were the tens of thousands of scarlet eyes.
Thinking of the black stone tower that had been swallowed by the worm, the densely packed eyes should belong to the vigilant Eye Demons that occupied the top of the tower. But different from the Eye Demons, the area covered by the eyes was much wider, as if a body full of strange eyes had been flattened.
After the buzzing sound, numerous hybrid demonic beasts emerged from the depths of the ruins and swarmed toward them. According to Nightingale, the cave suddenly lit up with countless magical lights. They seemed to appear out of thin air. They came from the walls, the flowing water, the dark corners of the dome, the bodies of the monsters … They were everywhere. The surging spiritual light converged into streams, and the noisy and ear-piercing roars suppressed the rumbling sound of water splashing. The entire snow mountain seemed to have been awakened from a dream, and it launched an attack on the intruder without permission.
At this critical moment, Fran made a crucial decision.
She swallowed everyone except Nightingale into her stomach, then turned around and drilled into the cave wall. When her whole body was submerged in the mountain rocks, the demonic beast rushed over and started to bite her tail. Even with Nightingale's protection, it was impossible to drive away so many enemies.
Fran endured the sharp pain and continued to drill for more than ten meters before she rolled her huge body and crushed all the demonic beasts following her into meat pies. Then she arched her tail and whipped the top of the cave hard, causing the rocks above to collapse and seal the cave entrance. Only then did she get rid of the enemies.
As for the witches hiding in her stomach, they had an unforgettable 15 minutes. Just the shock caused by rolling on the ground and whipping the stone wall was enough to make them throw up. Moreover, the storage cavity of the worm carrier was not far away from the digestive cavity, so the smell of vomiting was almost suffocating.
Fortunately, everyone was safe and sound in the end.
"First of all, we have to figure out what happened." Elena looked at Fran and asked, "How did you get trapped here?"
"It's probably because of the erosion of the flowing water. The moment I broke through the tunnel, the rock stratum beneath me suddenly collapsed. I didn't even have time to react before I fell into the air. I don't know what hit me, but I lost consciousness." "When I woke up, I found myself being carried by a dozen invisible worms and thrown into this place."
"I see... They used you as an empty carrier." Elena raised her eyebrows and said, "You're lucky."
"I should be glad that I didn't eat you on the spot," Fran muttered. "But when I was about to sneak away, I accidentally glanced at the top of the cave."
"Was it really the Vigilant Magic Eye?" Agatha asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. The moment I saw it, it also saw me. But that monster was much bigger than the Magic Eye." The worm sighed, and a gust of fishy wind suddenly rushed over them. "Ah, sorry... Elena and the others can't smell it, and I usually don't pay attention to it..."
"Ahem, it doesn't matter." The Ice Witch held her breath for a while. "Have you seen its full appearance?"
"After I was tied up, it fell for a while and soaked in the lake of this cave..." Fran paused for a moment, as if she was thinking about how to describe it. "I don't know how to describe its appearance. The monster looked like a pile of compressed internal organs with a layer of the Eye Demon's body on top. The two parts didn't merge into one, as if they were forcibly pieced together. I also saw many tentacles wriggling between the two parts. I don't know whether they were living worms or part of the monster's body. But its internal organs were much bigger than the Eye Demon's. Even the Fearful Beast of Hell can't compare to it. "
"Is it absorbing demons?" Nightingale frowned and said, "It can't be regarded as a simple hybrid demonic beast, can it?"
"Let's put aside what it is for now. We have to find a way to get out of here." Elena patted Fran's huge mouth and said, "Next time when you encounter this kind of situation, remember to shout 'attention' first before talking about the content. Understand?"
"Well..." Fran replied in frustration.
"Can you still move?"
"No..." Fran shook her head and said, "I need food to continue to operate this carrier. I've consumed all the food in my stomach during the time we were trapped here."
"Can we put our food together?" Lightning asked.
"I don't think it's enough for her to go more than 100 steps." Elena took a deep breath and said, "Now we can only wait for reinforcements or take the risk to break out."
"Waiting here is also a risk," Agatha said calmly. "The space here is too small. We'll suffocate to death in less than a day. Even if Sylvie can locate us, the army has to defeat those demonic beasts first to save us. "She paused and said," And don't forget that the enemy also has the devouring worm carrier. "
"But if we rush out now, we'll probably be swallowed by the demonic beasts." The God's Punishment Witches hesitated and said, "And... what about Fran? She can't leave with us. If she stays here and is discovered by the enemy, she won't even have a chance to fight back. "
"Anyway... let me go out and check the situation first." Nightingale turned around and seemed unwilling to participate in this dilemma.
"If you can leave, don't worry about me," Fran suddenly said. "Taquila witches are never afraid of sacrifice. Even if I become like this, I'll always be a member of Taquila. By the way, I have something in my stomach that may help you. "Then she wriggled her body and slowly spat out several sticky iron boxes from her mouth.
"This is..."
"The stationing supplies that the First Army asked me to carry," Fran said while gasping for breath. "They said these things were too heavy to carry, so I swallowed them."
Agatha opened the iron boxes one by one and saw shovels, shovels, wire netting and other earthwork tools. When she opened the last box, she could not help but be stunned.
This iron box was not big, but it was extraordinarily heavy. In addition to being stuffed with shock-proof straw, there were also more than 10 neatly stacked wooden boxes. The boxes were labeled with the words "Second Chemical Plant, the 64th batch of products, qualified."
If she remembered correctly, most of the decomposed nitrogen was sent to this plant.
