"Uh... it feels so... bad."
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 mucus-filled bag and slapped the wall dozens of times. of."
"Accurate description," Nightingale escaped from the fog in a tidy manner, and shrugged looking at the wet crowd, "If it wasn't for Fran crashing into the hole, we would all suffer now." Due to the free passage ability in the fog form, She doesn't have to burrow into the worm's belly like everyone else, and she doesn't have to be affected by bumps, stench, and putrid mucus.
"Sorry... Did I push too hard?" Fran asked cautiously, the strong smell made Agatha retching again.
"I don't think... it's bad," Lightning wiped the liquid from her hair and put it under her nose to sniff, "Being swallowed by a giant reptile and then crawling out intact is an unprecedented experience. No one in the explorer family has ever tried anything like that."
"Don't be dissatisfied," Elena rolled her eyes. "Compared to being unconscious, the stench and the sticky feeling are already enviable enough."
These remarks aroused the unanimous approval of the God's Punishment Witch.
"Okay... don't talk about it," Agatha coughed twice and interrupted in a hoarse voice, "The next question is, what should we do?"
Recalling the accident that happened a quarter of an hour ago, the witches still have some lingering fears. Although Fran gave the first warning, the control of the eyes is always faster than the body, especially when the strange buzzing sounds, more than one person can't help but raise their heads.
No one has seen the real body of the monster. The only thing they can see is the thousands of scarlet eyes.
Thinking of the black stone tower swallowed by the worm, those dense eyes should belong to the vigilant beholder perched on the top of the tower. But unlike the beholder, it covers a much wider area, as if the body full of strange eyes was flattened.
After the buzzing sound, many mixed-species evil beasts emerged from the depths of the ruins, rushing towards them. According to Nightingale, countless magical auras suddenly lit up in the cave. They seemed to appear out of nowhere, from the mountain walls, the flowing water, the shadows of the dome, the bodies of monsters… almost everywhere. The turbulent aura gathered into a stream, and the noisy and harsh roar suppressed the rumble of water. The entire snow-capped mountain seemed to wake up from a sleep and launched an attack on the unauthorized intruder.
At this critical juncture, Fran made a crucial decision.
She swallowed everyone except Nightingale, turned around and burrowed into the cave wall. When her entire body was not buried in the rock, the evil beast rushed over and madly bit her tail. Even with the cover of Nightingale, it would not be able to drive away so many enemies.
Fran endured the excruciating pain and continued to drill for more than ten meters before rolling over her huge body, crushing all the evil beasts that were following her into meat patties. Then she arched her tail and slapped the top of the cave fiercely, causing the rock above to collapse and seal the entrance of the cave, and she escaped the enemy's pursuit just now.
As for the witches hiding in her belly, they experienced an extremely unforgettable quarter of an hour. The shock caused by flipping on the spot and slamming the stone wall was enough to make them vomit upside down. Not to mention that the storage cavity of the worm carrier is not far from the digestive cavity, and the smell of spoiled food is almost suffocating.
Fortunately, everyone ended up unharmed.
"First we have to figure out what's going on," Elena looked at Fran. "How did you get stuck here?"
"Probably due to the erosion of running water, the moment I penetrated the passage, the rock formation beneath me suddenly collapsed, and I didn't have time to react. I had already fallen into the air, and then I didn't know what to hit, and I lost consciousness." Lan replied weakly, "When I woke up, I found myself being carried and moved by a dozen invisible bugs, and then thrown into this place."
"That's it... They treat you as an empty carrier," Elena frowned. "It's not bad luck."
"It's really fortunate that I didn't eat it on the spot," Fran muttered. "Unfortunately, just when I was about to escape secretly, I accidentally glanced at the top of the cave."
"Is it really the Demon Eye of Vigilance?" Agatha asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know even though when I saw it, it also saw me, but that monster is much bigger than the devil's eye." Worm sighed, and a fishy wind suddenly rushed towards everyone, "Ah, sorry ... Elena and the others can't smell, and I don't usually pay attention to this... "
"Cough, it doesn't matter," the Ice Witch held her breath for a while, "Have you seen the whole picture?"
"After I was bound, it fell for a while, and it was soaked in the lake of this cave..." Fran paused for a moment, as if thinking about the words, "I don't know how to describe it, the monster looks like It's like a mass of crushed internal organs, with a layer of beholder's body superimposed on it, the two are not integrated, it is almost like a forced piece together. I also saw many tentacles squirming between the two , I don't know if they are living bugs or a part of the monster's body. It's just that the organs below are much larger than the beholder, even if it's a hell beast, it can't compare with it."
"Could it be that it is absorbing the devil?" Nightingale frowned, "This can no longer be regarded as a pure hybrid evil beast, right?"
"What is it can be put aside for now, we have to figure out a way to escape from here," Elena patted Fran's mouth, "Next time you encounter such a situation, remember to call attention first, and then talk about the content. ,do you understand?"
"Hmm..." the latter replied in frustration.
"Can you still move?"
"I don't have the strength..." Fran shook her head, "I need to eat to continue driving this carrier. The time I was trapped here made me consume all the food in my stomach."
"Can we put dry food together?" Lightning asked.
"It's not enough for her to get out a hundred paces," Elena took a deep breath. "Now you can only wait for reinforcements, or risk breaking through."
"Waiting in place is also an adventure," Agatha said calmly. "The space here is too small, and we will be suffocated in the hole in a day. Even if Sylvie can determine our position, the army will not be able to. We have to defeat those evil beasts before we can save us." She paused, "And don't forget, the enemy also has a worm-devouring carrier."
"But if you rush out now, you may be engulfed by the beasts." The God's Punishment Witch showed hesitation, "And... what about Fran? She can't evacuate with us. If she stays here, if the enemy finds out, she will even resist. No chance."
"Anyway... Let me go outside to check the situation first," Nightingale turned around, as if she didn't want to participate in this dilemma.
"If you can leave, leave me alone," Fran said suddenly, "Witch Taquila has never been afraid of sacrifice. Even if I become like this, I will always be a part of Taquila. Yes. Now, I still have something in my stomach that might be able to help you." After speaking, she squirmed and slowly spit out several sticky iron boxes from her mouth.
"This is… "
"The camping supplies the First Army asked me to carry," Fran gasped. "They said they were too heavy to carry, so I swallowed them all by the way."
Agatha opened the iron boxes one by one and saw that there were shovels, shovels, barbed wire and other earthwork supplies inside. When she opened the last box, she couldn't help but be stunned.
This iron box is not big, but it looks extraordinarily heavy. In addition to being stuffed with wheat straw for shock-proofing, there are more than ten wooden boxes neatly stacked on the box. batch of products, qualified".
If she remembered correctly, most of the decomposed nitrogen was sent to this factory.
It turned out to be a box of explosives.
