"Mumble goo goo goo ——!"

The digestive worm let out a scream that seemed to be mournful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

We made painful noises together, but I had other emotions.

Call...... It seems that the mystery hidden in the lamppost has worked on it and made it painful.

…… Luz didn't lie to me. Her advice was very effective.

The light source in the lamppost is a flame that spontaneously combusts from the inside. Some of the skin has been genetically modified to secrete oil, which has been refined and used as flame fuel. The light of the fire seen in the dungeon passage was burned for a long time using that method. Now the "battery concept" works in the lamppost I hold.

The black metal cloak of the outer shell of the column has nearly been dissolved, reducing its weight by one-third. Peeking through the hollow shell of the basket, you can see the flames entangled in the earthy brown skin and sucking in the oil.

The heat burst out of countless densely paved holes like anthills and developed outward, constantly warming the liquid body of the digestive insects.

Most of the beasts are afraid of fire, and the digestive worms seem to be too.

The oil does not blend with the water, and it seems that the grease is more special. Saltpeter or sulphur may have been obtained in this generation of deserts, grease seems to have been modified by humans to contain combustion-supporting minerals, and lamppost fires are unusually difficult to extinguish. The flame continues to consume the combustibles, and the combustibles burn willfully in the acid, but it is not yet time to relax—

The Encyclopedia reminds me of one thing.

In a few seconds, the fuel that fuels the fire, in addition to oil, will run out of a different energy source first.

That's oxygen.

Digestive worms lack aerobic air in their bodies. If the digestive juices are similar to the gastric acid content of ordinary organisms, they should contain potassium and sodium, but the flame temperature is not as expected, so they are decomposed to obtain hydrogen and oxygen for combustion.

As soon as the flame is extinguished, even if the backbone of the column is covered with acid-resistant skin. Without the restraint of fire, the acid can still pass over the pillar and crush and melt me. Only at this moment, relying on the heat of the flame, let the digestive worm nervous confusion and keep convulsing from pain, and the body did not obey the call, I gasped in the gap between life and death.

Sensing for a split second that there was not much time left to work in my favor, I gritted my teeth and swallowed the pain. One of my hands got stuck in the corrosive fluid, and the damage was so miserable that I couldn't see it. I don't care so much, holding the long pillar with both hands is pushing it up with all my might—

The stigma is covered with a flame mass and stuffed into the "nuclear mouth" of the digestive worm.

"Mumble goo woo ———!"

Its mouth kept spitting bubbles out of its liquid body, and then—

The oppression of the black shadow left me in an instant.

Digestive worms are like puppies that have been beaten away...... The vain fear scared away the hungry appetite, and the spherical body of the digestive worm lost its sense of threat, as if it had shrunk into a circle. The Digestive Worm panicked and wanted to flee the place, trying to climb the six-meter-high wall of the Athletic Plaza.

The group of ladies who were seated near the head of the wall were frightened and scattered when they saw this. The flower beds formed by the women's colorful clothes suddenly fell apart.

The digestive worm is close to the wall and rises by impulse, and at this time-

The loud sound of a balloon popping suddenly sounded.

…… The digestive worm exploded.

The dangerous corrosive liquid is directly gasified by boiling at high temperatures, and the pieces of meat are also broken into a mist in the air.

The digestive worm suddenly turned into a bright red firework and bloomed in the eyes of everyone.

I know why. I saw that it was the collar at the core that blew it up.

The collar engraved with the XXy13B number appeared to be carrying a hidden bomb. Digestive worms are crushed by direct blasting.

I swallowed, the skin of my neck rubbing against the leather of the collar...... If I had chosen to run away in the first place, would I have ......?

The sound of explosions roared and the venue was noisy.

Then, silence reigned like death, and the noise that had been driven away after a few seconds returned to the scene.

"Scared me, I thought we were going to be finished when I saw the beast behaving strangely. When you get nervous, you forget that they all have "safety devices" on them. 」

"yes, the detonation was also timed, and I sat in the first row closest to danger and didn't get touched. He is worthy of being the "white-faced adjudicator" of the administrator. In order to protect the safety of the spectators, he calculated the power of the bomb and the height of the fence just right. 」

The hunting ground looked like the mouth of a well from below, and I listened to the noise of the host and other humans at the bottom of the well.

I threw down the two-and-a-half-metre pillar where the flames had been extinguished, and with a clatter, I bent down to pick up the broken part of the digestive worm that had scattered around.

The piece of flesh that flew at my feet, like rose petals, wafted with a good aroma. The smell of smoke from the explosion was a bit off, but it was still passable, and my stomach was still screaming and longing for it.

…… People sometimes grieve at the death of living things, let alone opponents who are fighting to the death against them, but I don't feel anything, that thing is as ordinary and calm as breathing.

But I should be sad. Tears of gratitude for the death of living creatures leaving behind flesh and blood for food - this is the words that come to the encyclopedia in the brain.

I empathize with the first part, but I don't understand the second part.

- I don't cry.

Looking at that piece of meat, I only wanted to bite into it, so much so that I forgot something important.

"Click!"

With the crisp melody of the meat being torn, I happily exercised the muscles of the jaw. The sparse exclamations of the human world above echoed in the square, and I chose to ignore them.

Chew, chew again.

Bite、It's delicious.。

So happy, laughing Mimi.

The outer layer of the meat has been ground, so let's attack the core. Give me delicious food, give me satisfaction.

Woo-......!

I finally found two problems -

The first question is something I forgot...... My teeth are still alive. Healthy and healthy ones are not broken or worn.

The second problem is the food in the mouth. It has a strong aroma and is delicious, yes, but only in the outer layer of the skin. I struck the teeth inside, as if I had accidentally pried open a forbidden box. The sin of the seal instantly invaded my mouth.

What is this? What is that?

The taste suddenly became complicated...... Become.......

It's super unpalatable!

The mouth is full of slimy and disgusting taste.
