With a rumbling and ominous sound, the bloody mouth hidden in the countless eyeballs, tentacles, and folded skin opened wide, swallowing the entire hot air balloon.

Standing inside the pod, you can see a circle of dense sharp teeth squeezed together layer upon layer, like the mouthparts of a lamprey, and the stinking throat is constantly shaking, and even the brave warrior can't help but feel a chill when he sees such a scene.

"It's over!" Observer Eureka turned pale with fright: "It gave us ...... Swallowed? ”

Charlotte shouted, "Don't think about those useless things, hold on!" ”

Neule grabbed the pod frame with one hand, pulled out his pistol with the other and shot it at the throat,

The bullet did nothing, and as the mouth closed, the light faded, and they were swallowed into their esophagus and plunged into the bottomless abyss.

He heard Eurika's screams and cried...... And then there was nothing.

I don't know how long later, Neulai woke up in darkness, the rancid air so bad that he could barely breathe.

He lay on a broken plank, reached for a kerosene lamp, lit it with a match he had with him, and held it up to look around;

The wooden pod had been disintegrated and crushed, surrounded by squirming fleshy walls covered in dirty cilia, and some slimy green liquid seeped out of the cilia, glowing with white smoke and foam upon contact with the pod parts.

(It's a highly corrosive digestive juice, similar to human gastric juice, I was lucky enough to faint on the wooden board, otherwise it would have been wiped out into a skeleton, etc., what about them?) ）

"Ladies! Where are you? ”

Neule held a kerosene lamp in his left hand, and the wall of cilia in his stomach could not reflect the light, adding to the already dim light.

In these conditions of extremely low visibility, Neule is like an explorer entering a natural cave, carefully avoiding the digestive juices and stepping on hot air balloon parts.

"What is this?"

He touched someone's hair on a wooden board:

"Who is it? Answer me! ”

Receiving no answer, he lowered the kerosene lamp and shone through, and beneath the unkempt blonde hair was the face of a young girl, with a pair of large brown eyes staring at her.

"Miss Eureka! You okay? ”

The observer's face was expressionless, and there was no response, and Neulai was anxious, and pulled her long golden hair hard, and something terrible happened, and the whole head was lifted, only the head, but no body, and he almost slipped in fright.

"Oops! Oh my God! ”

The panic lasted only half a second, and the Count stabilized himself, lowered the head, and stretched out his arm to search forward, and saw the mangled body of the observer,

Most of Eurika's body was soaked in digestive juices, her muscles and internal organs were dissolved, and Bai Sensen's bones were also digested, and she held a corroded dagger in her metacarpal bones, the blade of which was inserted into the stomach wall.

(Even though she was scared, she was still fighting until the last moment before she died.) ）

Looking at the observer's head, Neulay sighed and closed his eyes:

"Good boy, rest in peace."

"Charlotte! Where are you? ”

He shouted several times in concern, but no one answered, and even the echo was absorbed in this damn place.

Stepping on the debris, Neulai carefully jumped to avoid the digestive juices and found the remains of a dinghy, as well as a fragment of a mast belonging to a battleship.

It seems that the Chaos Gods have moved to the seashore and attacked the Royal Navy fleet, and a large number of skulls have been devoured in the stinking and sour digestive juices.

Finally, he saw the person he was looking for;

(Thanks to the gods of luck!) Neulai breathed a sigh of relief.

The commander of the Air Force, Colonel Charlotte, was lying on a patch of armored ship board covered with rivets, she was still breathing, only weakened by injuries and lack of oxygen.

Neule jumped onto the board and hugged the fainting colonel:

"I'll take you out when I get back to the imperial capital...... Let's dine in the Golden Lake Palace......"

At this point, he couldn't go on, because he didn't want to continue weaving this false lie;

Unarmed, green digestive juices are constantly secreted, this is a desperate situation that cannot be solved, and you can only wait for death.

The stomach wall was constantly wriggling and contracting, and the bones around him were gradually swallowed up by digestive juices, bubbling, and there was a cannon-like sound in the distance, presumably the heartbeat of an evil god.

Neulay lay the kerosene lamp flat at his feet and took Colonel Charlotte into his arms like a baby.

Somehow, he was scared of all his battles, and for the first time in his life, he was ashamed of the idea that the knights of Valstad should be proud to die in battle.

Neulai had lived for the emperor all his life, hoping to die for her, and he loved someone he was destined to have so much that his heart had been taken away from him since he met the duke's daughter in the military academy, and he looked down on others at all.

Everything has changed since he took off in a hot air balloon, and he meets Colonel Charlotte,

It was incredible that he had been miraculously cured of his fear of heights and that he had never imagined anything other than to serve the king.

Neulai finally understood why he began to fear, because he had found something important, he was afraid of what he had lost, but unfortunately this wonderful journey was about to end before it began, like a short but wonderful dream.

(At least, let me hold her before being digested into a pile of rotten bones.) ）

Somehow, the stomach began to squirm violently, and the churning digestive juices splashed everywhere, and Neulai picked up a sail to cover the two of them.

(What's going on?) ）

Something dripped from the top of his head, it was the blood of an evil god, and when he looked up, a pitch-black blade stabbed into the top of the stomach wall, and then cut a large hole horizontally, and a pair of shiny silver-gray pupils peered inside.

"Hurry up, give me your hand."

Neulei was moved to tears: "Your Majesty? ”

Sarantos stretched out his hand and dragged the two out as easily as if he were carrying a kitten.

"What's going on?" Charlotte woke up to find herself lying on top of her slimy entrails, choked with fright.

"Great, let's wreak havoc together and kill this big guy!" Neule said.

"If only it were that simple, this guy is a four-dimensional creature, and it's not that easy to kill." Salantos used the "dark curtain" to cut a bloody path and led the two forward.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I lost all the hot air balloons, and the Air Force sisters also died, all because of the incompetence of my commander!" Charlotte bit her lip and said guiltily.

"Don't be presumptuous, Colonel, you and your air force have done a good job, and in the end those four rockets succeeded in provoking the target and leading them to the shelling area,

The fleet salvo had dealt it hard, but only temporarily, and I took advantage of this opportunity to cut a hole and come in, and follow the breath to find you. ”

"Do you have any plans?"

"I'll slaughter it with my own hands."

As the "dark curtain" cut through the last gap, light poured in, and the surrounding walls of flesh began to tremble, and an eerie howl could be heard.

Sarantos was alert; "Oh no, it's relieved, you have to get out of here!"

"Your Majesty, I want to accompany you......" Neulai was about to say something, but was kicked out by the empress, and both of them fell into the water.

The blue sea was filled with fragments of all kinds of hulls, and not far away, the mighty Royal Navy fleet formed a semicircle and bombarded the target.

"There are survivors!"

The little sailor in the lifeboat came over with a whistle and paddled, and the lifebuoy with thick hemp rope was thrown over, and Neule grabbed it.

"Here you go!"

"Thanks, I don't need it"

Colonel Charlotte is very water-oriented and can swim even in a military uniform and boots.

At this time, the attention of the Chaos God had been attracted by the fleet, and the huge tentacles easily overturned a battleship, splitting the entire ship in half, and the royal sailors kept falling like sesame seeds on a pie.

"It's too strong, can we really win? I'm so worried about Your Majesty......"

Holding the swimming ring, Neule smiled:

"No, Colonel, you should be more worried about Your Majesty's opponents,

I have followed His Majesty to fight in the north and south all my life, and I know her strength best, and that big guy hasn't realized that he has provoked the wrong person. ”
