Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 194 The World in the Belly
In murky water, visibility is not very helpful.

Pei Xia could only follow the head fin of the sea god and try to find its mouth in the direction that a normal manta ray might be.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before I sensed a gap large enough for a person to pass through.

Out of caution, Pei Xia did not enter directly.

There are limits to a cultivator's diving ability. Breath-holding, water pressure, and visibility in darkness are challenges that can only be overcome by spiritual power, in addition to physical strength.

He surfaced, took a deep breath, and used his spiritual power to create enough space around himself before diving back in.

The manta ray's mouth is enormous. After carefully swimming inside, Pei Xia found that apart from being darker, it was almost no different from being in seawater.
He also tried to go down, wanting to touch the lower mouth of the sea god, and see if there really was no filter.

Unfortunately, after swimming down more than ten meters, they still couldn't see the fleshy wall.

With no other option, he had to continue swimming deeper into the water.

Pei Xia had a vague sense of time; if he swam further in and was still surrounded by water with nowhere to go, he would start to return.

As the surrounding water grew darker, Pei Xia carefully lit a cluster of spiritual light, slightly illuminating the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed across the dark water and swept past the two of them.

Pei Xia looked closely and saw that it was a fish.

There was more than one; there were many. It seemed that the storms from the outside had driven them out of their settled seas. At this moment, the calmest waters were in the mouth of the sea god.

Pei Xia had heard in his early years that some top experts had lived underwater for more than ten years by relying on the faint air inside fish.

If the Sea God's body is really full of water... then hopefully Old Han has that ability too.

The fish swam past Pei Xia, flicked its tail, and suddenly swam towards the water below.

At first, Pei Xia didn't take it seriously, but soon he suddenly noticed that many of the fish around him had started swimming towards the area below their mouths.

Before he could even begin to ponder it, his human body also sensed something amiss.

The water was flowing rapidly toward a certain place, and the water pressure he felt was decreasing.

He looked up in astonishment, and in the light of the aura, he could actually see ripples in the water.

This is... the water surface?
Without thinking much, Pei Xia continued swimming upstream until he crashed into and shattered the shimmering water.

It really is water.

The water level in the mouth of the sea god is dropping.

Pei Xia turned her head and looked in the direction she had come from. The light of spiritual energy illuminated the area in front of her, and under the pale red flesh dome, there was a thick, long line that stretched into the distance.

That must be the mouth of the sea god, but unlike when it came, the thick black line is now tightly closed, preventing even seawater from seeping in, let alone allowing anyone to pass through.

That's true; otherwise, how could the water level have dropped?

The enormous lake inside the mouth was rapidly shrinking, gradually revealing several ridge-like lines of flesh and blood.

Pei Xia found the nearest one and reached out to climb up.

It's described as flesh and blood, but it's only reddish-white in color that makes it look somewhat like flesh and blood. Once you actually try to touch it, you'll find it's ridiculously hard.

Pei Xia felt like she was climbing a cliff.

Luckily, they managed to get up while the water level was still relatively high, so it didn't take much effort. Sitting on the ground, holding Lu Li in his arms, Pei Xia instinctively started to pant, but fortunately, he had a better idea. He reached down and touched the jade pendant at his waist, and a flash of light revealed a flint.

I tapped it, but there were no sparks.

Pei Xia sighed inwardly, while Pear rolled her eyes.

Standing up and looking around, the light shone down on the lake beneath my feet, which remained vast and boundless. It seemed that this "swallowing" did not continue indefinitely.

However, the way in was blocked, so now we can only continue going in.

With Lu Li on her neck, Pei Xia pressed her right hand against the twin spider artifact on her left arm, her head glowing with spiritual light, and slowly walked inward along the fleshy mountain ridge beneath her feet.

Darkness remained the dominant color, and the echoes of each footstep on the hard ground traveled far. As Pei Xia ventured deeper, she could clearly feel the flesh beneath her feet changing color.

It gradually takes on a dark brown color similar to soil, and it is not as hard as the area around the mouthparts. When you step on it, there is a subtle illusion that you can step into it if you put a little more pressure on it.

Pei Xia shook the pear on her head: "Waaaaah?"

Pear, as if on cue, shook her head and replied, "Mmm."

Sigh, as expected, the teleportation array is unusable.

The good news is that as Pei Xia ventured deeper, the terrain on both sides of the ridge began to level out, and the seawater on both sides became increasingly thin.

After walking for another half hour, the surrounding terrain was completely flat, and with its dark brown color and towering, fleshy dome, it looked at first glance no different from the outside world.

As they continued walking, some yellowish-green things that looked like "down" slowly appeared on the dark brown soil. Pei Xia squatted down and examined them for a while. They seemed to be some kind of fungus, but they were growing more finely and looked very much like grass and leaf plants.

Furthermore, the ground was no longer completely flat. This dark brown flesh and blood increasingly resembled pure soil. It began to undulate, even forming hills. In a certain place further in, Pei Xia saw a long depression in the black soil, which led to the water in the oral lake, forming a river.

This place is almost like a continent on the earth's surface, the only difference being that there is no light inside the belly of the sea god.

Almost at the moment Pei Xia had this thought, a clear, resounding sound pierced through the air.

Immediately, countless thin veins, resembling blood vessels, began to appear on the towering, unseen dome of flesh and blood.

After a brief pause, these veins began to emit a faint red glow, which slowly turned white over time, radiating a soft light and bringing daylight to the entire world inside the abdomen!

As the light shone brightly, Pei Xia realized that he was actually standing on the top of a hill. Looking into the distance, he could see rolling mountains, vast forests of yellowish-green, and winding rivers and lakes!
Judging from its appearance, the Sea Patrol God is 300 li long and 140 li wide.

At this moment, Pei Xia can be quite certain that the true size of this guy hidden underwater is definitely much larger!

"Waaah!" Pear tapped his head.

Pei Xia quickly snapped out of his daze and took out the flint again. With a "clang," it rang out and sparks flew everywhere.

Sure enough, the fact that large fungi can grow means that there is oxygen here.

Pei Xia released her spiritual energy shield and took a careful breath.

It's even quite refreshing!

"It might be due to a special gas gland structure in the body, huff..."

After holding her breath for a long time, Pei Xia rolled her eyes and looked up at Lu Li above her: "The good news is that since there is such a place, with Han Youzhi's cultivation level, she is most likely still alive."

Pear was also panting. She looked back at the way she had come: "The bad news is that it probably won't be easy to get back."
