The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 69: Spider’s Den (Part 1)
The astrologer apprentice relighted the illuminated star array, and the three marched quickly through the narrow cave passage. When the long straight road came to the end, a bifurcated road appeared, "Turn right." Hannah led the two men. Going in the direction indicated by the map, after only a few steps, the front is much wider. This is an oval-shaped passage with a width that can accommodate four or five people walking side by side. The feet and walls are no longer hard granite, but covered with a Layers of lumpy dark brown strange substance, which is very elastic when stepped on. Danny tried to stab it with a dagger, but was unable to penetrate this tough material.
"It's not stone." Danny said strangely, reaching out his hand to stroke the uneven wall, "Is it mud or leather, this material will be naturally formed."
"Anyway, be cautious." Hannah slowed down and said: "We have no thieves, and we lack the skills to detect traps. Be careful."
The male Stewart was dissatisfied and said: "Who said there are no thieves, I am a skilled thieves... Look, what is this." He passed by Jonah and turned around. Triumphantly lifted up a few yellowed papyrus in his hand, "It seems to be something you lost, my cargo friend......"
"Give it back to me." The depressed Jonah didn't speak on the way. At this moment, seeing Segles' prophecy appearing in the hands of the smirking man opposite, he immediately exploded, shouting He rushed up and grabbed Danny's neck and shook it vigorously: "Give it back to me, give it back to me."
"Chuck..." Danny foamed in his mouth and made an unexplained dying struggle. As soon as his fingers loosened, the paper fell off, and Jonah reached out and grabbed his precious prophecy back into his underwear pocket.
"Stop making trouble." Hannah frowned. "Brother, I always think this road is a bit wrong."
As the group of people got deeper and deeper, the color of the walls of the tunnel began to gradually lighten, from dark brown to light brown, and from light brown to light red. "Ahem, you can't be kidding ......" Danny coughed, and glanced at Jonah with a grieving look. "Cough cough...Speaking of which, the environment here reminds me of something, what is it." He touched his neck, if something happened. Thinking,
The contemporary Patriarch of Stewart drew out the magic pistol to be cautious, and Jonah patted his chest to make sure that the remnants of the untitled book stayed safely in his inner pocket, "Don't make fun of people's precious things." He glared at the unscrupulous man. At a glance,
"Wait." Danny waved his hand suddenly to stop everyone from moving forward. A drop of cold sweat dripped on his forehead: "Did you feel that the floor just moved."
"No." Hannah replied, then turned her head to show a tired look: "Dad, you have appeared again." In her hand, the "White Sakura of Summer" began to emit a charged red glow, "Hello, Dad, goodbye, Dad."
"Hey, wait a minute, sister, don't shoot first, I thought about what this place looks like." Danny was shocked, waved his hands and rushed towards Hannah, but the magic pistol had already shot a sharp light "Hey." The energy rays left a **** hole on the pale red wall, and the air was filled with a strange smell of barbecue. "Don't bother me anymore, Dad." Hannah lowered her muzzle.
"Like what." Yonaji moved his nose, feeling that this fragrant food smelled pretty good,
"Like animal innards... If you are the best cook in the Southern Continent like me, you will definitely recognize the appearance of large intestines... Baktria garlic intestines are my specialty, you know, first Turn the fresh beef large intestine over and wash with salt repeatedly, cut into thick slices, blanch the water to remove the smell, then pour a large amount of olive oil into the pan to fry the large intestine into golden brown, then add butter and saute the garlic cloves, cinnamon, Clove, onion, then..." Danny, who was not focused, began to talk about cooking, but Jonah understood what he meant: "You mean, we are in the large intestine of the worm. "
"No, no." Danny shook his finger in denial, "It is impossible for a creature such a huge worm to have only one digestive tract. This may be one of its tens of millions of digestive tracts, because it has not taken in nutrients for a long time. The material has degraded, lost its activity, and turned brown. I think maybe the granite outside is also the result of petrification of this kind of tissue over a long period of time."
"Lost activity... What if there is an external stimulus." The astrologer apprentice slowly turned his head and looked at the deep scars Hannah left on the wall,
Danny hates that iron can't become a steel track: "I don't know it, of course it is violent squirming. It's like you swallowed a fat maggot down, don't you want to vomit it out."
"Bah, you just want to swallow a maggot..." Jona countered,
"Hold your head."
Hannah’s yelling came at the same time as the earthquake. Just as the male Stewart’s said, one of the thousands of degraded and disabled digestive tracts was stimulated by the outside world and is slowly recovering. The active, brown surface layer shattered with the peristalsis of the entire pipe, revealing the tender reddish tissues. With only the first wave of peristalsis, three tiny humans rolled into a ball like white and fat maggots. /
Jona firmly hugged the staff Syrahfauna, closed his eyes, and felt like his body was thrown up and down by the waves. Suddenly a bizarre thought popped out, and the lower half of the map he was responsible for his memory appeared on In my mind, that intricate pipeline... strange tree knots... the entangled way of connecting with each other...
"I see." He opened his eyes sharply, "This is not a mechanism, but we accidentally hit and accidentally activated the transportation system of the secret passage. As long as we don't take the wrong way, these peristaltic digestive tubes can We delivered it directly to the burial site of the Sand Pirate King’s legacy."
Hannah rolled over to him quickly and spread the map in front of him: "Are you sure."
"The possibility is very high. Except for the outermost petrified part, the entire posterior crypt is composed of this kind of active digestive tube. You see, this kind of swollen nodule on the map should be digestion. The cavity, if you guess right, the active digestive cavity should contain highly corrosive digestive juices. Be careful to avoid it. The digestive tube can reach the bottom of the entire dark tract system. This huge tumor-shaped space is a treasure house. The position should also be the end of the worm’s digestive system. We are like maggots swallowed by our stomachs. As long as we avoid the threats of appetizers, large intestines, and small intestines, we can reach the exit of light." Astrologer The apprentice said excitedly, making gestures on the map,
Danny approached from the side with a bitter face: "Why do I feel that you are so disgusting? Our final destination is the place of Hou Chong..."
"No, no, if the worm’s eating method is the same as that of the sandworm by absorbing the tiny creatures in the yellow sand, the tunnel under her body is the real digestive organ, the digestive system inside the worm’s ridge. , It should have been abandoned thousands of years ago, that is to say, the location of the heritage is neither digestive juice nor feces... This is really a genius design." Jona’s eyes brightened and said excitedly,
The intruder without a map can also go through the digestive tube to reach...that place. "Danny pouted,
Jona pointed at the map: "No, it’s not that simple. There are four or five nodules similar to our destination. Except for the correct location, the other several must be full of dangerous organs, such as intense digestion. Liquid, sharp mica, poisonous gas..."
"A lot of pink mushrooms." Danny added with lingering fear,
At this moment, the second wave of peristalsis arrived. The three people obviously felt that the muscle fibers of the entire digestive tract were tightening, as if a strong impact was brewing. Hannah squeezed the map into Jona. In his arms: "Then, lead us all the way to the destination."
"You all believe in me." The astrologer apprentice was obviously moved,
The man from the Stewart family sighed, "Otherwise."
"Boom." The landslide-like creeping movement arrived, instead of vomiting outward, but swallowing inward like a human body. It seems that the hindworm still welcomes the fat maggots. Yes, the muscle fiber bundles in the digestive tract contracted sequentially, pushing a huge wave to the lower part, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." The three people were squeezed into a ball, the two men screamed involuntarily, and Jona’s eyes were full With the pale red flesh wall, every small flesh-colored bump on the tissue can be seen clearly, and he can see a tingling of flesh all over his body,
Under the strong driving force of the peristalsis, they were quickly moved to the end of the digestive tract, Jona clenched the map tightly, never knowing whose hands and feet were struggling to look at the direction: "The front is a cavity, We are going to rush to the passage directly opposite, I call one, two, three, everyone jump forward together."
"Do you use force when you yell ‘three’, or do you force it after ‘three’." Danny interrupted,
"Why are you so... ah ah ah ah..."
After half-talking, three maggots have been thrown to the exit of the digestive tube. The brilliance of Syrah Fauna illuminates a 30-yard square cavity. As Jona expected, there is a pungent pool at the bottom of the pale red digestive cavity. Smell of green liquid, there is a bubble in the middle of the viscous liquid, the bubble burst, and the yellow-green gas rises. Without any professional knowledge, three people can guess that falling into this pool of green water will definitely not end well. ,
"One, two, three." The speed was faster than expected, and the astrologer apprentice had to count three in one breath. Fortunately, the Stewart brothers and sisters completely caught up with his rhythm, "drink." Everyone kicked the ground and pressed forward. Leap forward, leaping across the digestive cavity with a peristaltic momentum, rushing towards the entrance of another digestive tract on the opposite side,
"...Dad." Hannah drew her pistol in the air,
"Come back." Danny screamed,
"Puff." The three men jumped over the dangerous green liquid and fell into the next channel embarrassedly. The "White Sakura of Summer" shot continuously behind them, "Hello, Dad, goodbye, Dad." Hannah squinted. The eyes prop up the body, cast a nostalgic look into the digestive cavity,
