Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 195 The Belly Dweller

In any case, with land and air available, the pressure of the situation is greatly reduced.

Given the current environment, even if I stayed for three to five years... oh, three to five years won't work, Pei Xia has a troublesome son, he can't hold on.

Coming down from the hill, we saw many unusual fungi and plants along the way. Some of them were just ordinary grasses and trees, but they weren't growing very well. Others looked like mutated corals, hard and tall, like trees.

In the dense jungle, Pei Xia could only rely on her spiritual power to clear a path, and it took her a long time to find a relatively open space.

"Take a break."

He took Lu Li off his neck and took out some dried food he had prepared earlier from the jade: "Searching like this is not a solution."

The group didn't reunite joyfully inside the stomach of the Sea God. Given the size of the world inside, the chances of Pei Xia encountering Han Youzhi were slim.

Lu Li thought for a moment and said, "How about we wait until night? Find a high place and release your spiritual energy to the fullest extent. She might be able to see it."

That's one solution.

Pei Xia thought for a moment and reached out to touch the jade pendant at her waist: "Or, we could wait for the rabbit to run into the tree stump in the Jade Palace."

Pei Xia had met Han Youzhi before; he was a round-faced man with a full beard. Now that she was here, she might need some supplies, just like when she was trapped in the underground palace.

“Speaking of which, this place…” Lu Li stretched out a finger, and a wisp of spiritual energy, like a small snake, licked across her fingertip. “The spiritual energy here is quite abundant.”

Indeed, the spiritual energy consumed during this trip to the sea was not even something Pei Xia needed to adjust her breathing for; simply breathing normally was enough to replenish it.

He closed his eyes and tried to refine the spiritual energy in his inner cauldron, and the speed was surprisingly fast!

“I’ve only ever heard that low-level demonic beasts are enemies, while top-level demonic beasts are spiritual materials,” Pei Xia clicked his tongue. “I never imagined that demonic beasts could reach such a level, and even be considered blessed lands.”

If one survives after being swallowed, it can be considered a stroke of luck.

If there are no other unexpected events inside his abdomen, he can cultivate here for a while afterward. With Pei Xia's inner cauldron spiritual power, without the help of this advantageous location, it would take him a long time to fully refine it to the Profound Realm.

"Right now, let's find Lao Han first."

Pei Xia finished the flatbread and instructed, "Keep an eye on me, I'm going to the Jade Palace to inquire..."

He placed his hand on the jade, about to immerse himself in it.

Suddenly, I heard a strange noise.

He turned around decisively and saw a four-legged creature with a flat fish head leap out of the dense forest. Its four legs were spread out, and its fish mouth with fine teeth bared, emitting a chilling hiss.

Is the Sea God carrying a monster in his belly?

Just as Pei Xia was about to unleash his inner energy, he heard a shout from behind the fish-headed dog: "Shut up!"

Lin Ye was pushed aside, and a slender figure wearing a pink and white "leather jacket" walked out.

This was a man with dry hair, a gaunt face, and somewhat protruding eyes, but his gaze was very lively. Under his slender arms, he held a fish spear with four forks.

Their eyes met, and when he saw Pei Xia and Lu Li, he was clearly taken aback. Then he frowned and said with displeasure, "More people from the ground."

Pei Xia accurately grasped the key point in the other party's words. He quickly stood up, remaining vigilant while saying as gently as possible, "Friend, we're here to find someone."

The guy in front of me was thin like a withered man on his deathbed, but his movements were not slow. In addition, there were his unusually bulging eyes and the fish-headed dog at his feet.

Could it be a human who has lived inside the body of the sea god since ancient times?

Pei Xia's words elicited a soft snort from the other party: "I know, that guy said someone would come looking for him..."

Sure enough! Han Youzhi had met them before!

Pei Xia hurriedly asked, "Then, where is she now?" The tall, thin man looked Pei Xia and Lu Li up and down for a while, seemingly to confirm their threat, before replying after a long pause, "She's in the village. Come with me."

village.

Indeed, humans did live inside the belly of the sea god, and even formed villages.

"One should always be wary of others," Pei Xia said, picking up the pear while keeping one hand on the twin spider artifact on her forearm.

The other person, however, walked ahead and led the way, leaving his back to Pei Xia, seemingly completely unsuspecting.

"Thank you for your reply. May I ask your name?" Pei Xia asked.

The tall, thin man parted the grass with his harpoon and replied, "Gill Nine."

This name doesn't seem like something an ordinary person would come up with.

Pei Xia watched as the other person skillfully cleared the way, and then cautiously asked, "You just called me a ground person? Have you always lived here?"

This time, Sai Jiu didn't answer, but not because he was wary. Pei Xia saw the expression on his face, which seemed to indicate impatience.

He seemed too lazy to tell Pei Xia about the origins of their clan.

It is certain that over the years, Pei Xia, Lu Li, and Han Youzhi were not the only people on Earth who entered the world inside the belly; Sai Jiu clearly knew of the existence of the world on Earth.

Even so, would you still choose to live inside the belly of the sea god...?

Since the other party didn't show much malice, Pei Xia stopped trying to spy on their lives. Anyway, she was just looking for someone. Once she got Han Youzhi and left this godforsaken place, she wouldn't need to deal with these inhabitants anymore.

Pei Xia initially thought that the so-called village should be built on some open plain, but she gradually realized that it didn't seem to be.

Following behind Sai Jiu, they emerged from the dense jungle, seemingly heading towards lower elevations.

It wasn't until he turned four or five slopes along the road that Pei Xia realized that the place he had just been after descending the hill was actually a "plateau".

I roughly felt that we descended to a height of more than ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) before the terrain became stable again.

Here, the yellowish-green fungi and plants were rarely seen, and the ground returned to its rough, dark brown color. Continuing deeper into the tall, well-lit cavern, Pei Xia slowly began to hear more faint human voices.

Sai Jiu, leading the dog, walked at the front. Suddenly, a figure jumped out of a hole by the roadside, jumped into his arms, and giggled: "Brother Sai Jiu, you're back! Where are the fish you caught?"

Sai Jiu, holding the child, twisted his neck back and said, "We just went up there a short while ago and ran into two people from the ground. Go and call Grandpa Village Chief."

A child's head peeked out from Sai Jiu's shoulder. It must have been a little girl, dressed in a thin pink and white leather jacket, with a pointed head and protruding eyes filled with curiosity.

After observing Pei Xia and Lu Li for a while, the little girl muttered, "The people on the ground are really ugly."

Then he jumped down from Sai Jiu's arms and ran off to find the village chief.

Pei Xia pursed her lips. Fine, ugly it is.

"By the way, Brother Sai Jiu, didn't you say my friend lives in the village?"

"Yes."

Sai Jiu nodded, picked up his harpoon, and pointed it far away at the top of the empty cave: "Isn't it over there?"

Pei Xia looked up and saw that there was indeed a person on the ground, tied with ropes and hanging from something that looked like a roof.

Pei Xia stared intently at the screen.

“…Cao Heng?”
