The astrologer's apprentice re-lit the illuminated star array, and the three of them marched quickly through a narrow cave passage.The long straight road came to an end, and a fork in the road appeared, "Turn right." Hannah led the two men in the direction the map directed. After a few steps, it was much more open in front of him, it was an oval passage, wide enough for four or five people to walk side by side, and the feet and walls were no longer hard granite, but covered with a layer of pimples of a strange dark brown substance, which was very elastic to step on, Danny tried to pierce it with a dagger, but could not pierce this tough material.

"Not a stone?" said Danny, curious, reaching out to stroke the undulating wall, "Is it mud? or leather?

"In short, be cautious. Hannah slowed down and instructed, "There are no thieves among us, and we lack the skills to detect traps, so be careful." ”

The boy of the Stewart family was unconvinced: "Who said there are no thieves? I'm just a skilled thief...... Look, what is this?" he passed Jonah, turned, and triumphantly held up a few yellowed papyri in his hand, "as if you had lost something, cargo friend......

"Give it back to me!" The depressed Jonah didn't speak all the way, when he saw Segres's prophecy appear in the hands of the smiling man opposite, he immediately erupted, roared and rushed up to grab Danny's neck and shook it vigorously: "Give me back, give me back, give me back!"

"Giggle......" Danny let out an indefatigable dying throp as he foamed at the mouth, his fingers loosened and the paper fell, and Jonah reached out and grabbed it, tucking the precious prophecy back into his underwear pocket.

"Don't make a fuss. Hannah frowned, "Brother." I always felt that something was wrong with this path. ”

As the group went deeper and deeper, the color of the four walls of the tunnel began to gradually lighten, from dark brown to light brown, and then from light brown to light red. "Ahem, you can't afford to joke......" Danny coughed, glancing at Jonah with a wry, "ahem...... Speaking of which, the environment reminds me of something, what is it?" he said, touching his neck, thoughtful.

Stewart's contemporary head of the house drew his magic pistol and guarded cautiously. Jonah patted his chest to make sure the scraps of the nameless book were safely in his inner pocket, "Don't joke about other people's precious things!" he glared at the unscrupulous man.

"Wait!" Danny waved his hand, stopping everyone from moving on. A drop of cold sweat flowed from his forehead: "Did you feel that the floor just moved?"

"No, I don't. Hannah replied, then turned her head to show a tired look, "Daddy, you're here again?" "Hello, Dad. Goodbye, Dad. ”

"Hey, wait a minute, sister, don't shoot yet! I think about what this place looks like!" Danny was startled, waving his hands and rushing towards Hannah, but the magic pistol was already shooting a snowy light, "Boom!" The energy ray left a large black hole in the pale red wall, and the air was filled with a strange smell of barbecue, "Don't bother me again, Daddy." Hannah lowered her gun.

"Like what?" Jonah twitched, thinking that the fragrant food smelled good.

"Like the guts of an animal...... If you're the best cook in the Southern Continent like me, you'll be able to recognize the appearance of the large intestine...... Bactria's garlic roasted large intestine is my specialty! You know, first turn the fresh beef intestine over and scrub it with salt repeatedly, cut it into thick slices, blanch it to remove the fishy smell, then pour a lot of olive oil into the pan, fry the large intestine until golden brown, then add butter and fry garlic cloves, cinnamon, cloves, onions, and then ......" Danny, who was unfocused, began to ramble on the topic of cooking, but Jonah understood what he meant: "You mean, we are in the large intestine of the worm?"

"No, no. Danny shook his finger and denied, "It is impossible for such a large creature as the postworm to have only one digestive tract, and this may be one of its thousands of digestive tubes, which has degenerated, lost its activity, and turned brown because it has not ingested nutrients for a long time. I think maybe the granite out there is also the result of this kind of organization petrified over a long period of time. ”

"Inactive...... What if there is a stimulus from the outside world?" the astrologer apprentice slowly turned his head to look at the deep scars Hannah had left on the wall.

Danny hated iron and said, "I don't know, of course, it's a violent wriggling, like if you swallow a white and fat maggot, won't you want to spit it out?"

"Phew, you're going to swallow a maggot......" Jonah retorted.

"Hold your head!"

Hannah's shouts rang out at the same time as the earthquake. As the male of the Stewart family said, one of the thousands of degraded and dysfunctional digestive tubes of the postworm has been stimulated by the outside world and is slowly regaining its activity, and the brown surface layer is broken with the peristalsis of the whole tube, revealing a bright and tender pale red tissue, only the first wave of wriggling, three small human beings are like white and fat maggots rolling into a ball.

Jonah held the staff Silafina firmly, closed his eyes, and felt as if his body was being thrown up and down by the sea, when suddenly a bizarre thought popped up, and the second half of the map that he was responsible for remembering appeared in his mind, the intricate pipes...... Strange dendridom nodes...... Entanglements in relation to each other......

"I see!" he snapped his eyes open, "It's not a mechanism, it's that we activated the conveyor system of the tunnels by mistake!, as long as we don't take the wrong fork in the road, these wriggling digestive tubes can send us directly to the burial site of the Sand Pirate King's legacy!"

Hannah came to him with a quick roll and unfolded the map in front of him, "Are you sure?"

"The possibilities are high. Except for the outermost petrified part, the entire postworm dark passage is composed of this active digestive tube, you see, this kind of swelling nodule on the map should be the digestive cavity, if you guess correctly, the active digestive cavity should have a strong corrosive digestive juice, you must pay attention to avoid! Use the digestive tube to reach the bottom of the entire dark tunnel system, this huge nodulous space is where the treasure is located, and it should also be the end of the digestive system of the postworm. - We are like maggots swallowed in our stomachs, as long as we avoid the threat of the stomach, large intestine, and small intestine, we can reach the exit of light!" said the astrologer apprentice excitedly, gesturing on the map.

Danny leaned over from the side with a bitter face, "Why do I think you're so disgusting? Our final destination is the Worm's...... That place?"

"No, no, if the postworm eats in the same way as the sandeater, absorbing the tiny creatures in the sand, then the tunnel in the lower part of her body is the real digestive organ. The digestive system inside the Spine of the Worm should have been abandoned thousands of years ago. In other words, the heritage is located in a place where there are neither digestive juices nor feces...... It's genius!" Jonah said with excitement as his eyes lit up.

Intruders who do not have a map can also reach the ...... through the digestive tube That's the place. Danny pouted.

Jonah pointed to the map: "No, it's not that simple, there are four or five nodules similar to our destination, and in addition to the correct location, several others must be full of sinister mechanisms, such as strong digestive juices, sharp mica stones, poisonous gases, ......"

"Lots of pink mushrooms. Danny added with trepidation.

It was at this moment that the second wave of squirming arrived. The three of them clearly felt the muscle fibers of the entire digestive tube tense, as if a strong impact was brewing, Hannah shoved the map into Jonah's arms: "Then, lead us all the way to the destination!"

"You all believe me?" the astrologer apprentice was visibly moved.

The boy of the Stewart family sighed, "Otherwise?"

"Boom!" It is not vomiting outward, but like the human body has made an inward swallowing action, it seems that the postworm still has a welcoming attitude towards the white and chubby maggots. The bundles of muscle fibers of the digestive tube contracted sequentially, pushing a huge wave to the lower part, "Ahh......h

Under the strong force of the peristalsis, they were quickly moved to the end of the digestive tube, and Jonah clutched the map tightly, and looked at the direction with difficulty from between his hands and feet: "There is a cavity in front, we are going to rush to the passage directly opposite, I shout one, two, three, everyone jump forward together!"

"Do you exert yourself when you shout 'three', or do you exert yourself after shouting 'three'?" Danny interjected.

"Why are you so ...... Ahhhh......h

Halfway through the words, the three maggots had been thrown into the mouth of the digestive tube, and the light of Hila Fina illuminated a cavity thirty yards square, and as Jonah had expected, there was a pool of pungent green liquid at the bottom of the pale red digestive chamber, and a bubble might emerge from the middle of the viscous liquid, and the bubble burst and turned into yellow-green gas and rose. 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, but fortunately, the Stuart siblings completely kept up with him, "Drink!" Everyone jumped forward with their feet on the ground, and with the momentum of the wriggling momentum, they crossed the digestive cavity and rushed towards the entrance of the other digestive tract opposite.

“...... Daddy?" Hannah drew her pistol in the air.

"Coming back?" said Danny.

"Poof!" The three of them stumbled over the dangerous green liquid into the next passage, "Summer White Sakura" firing a succession behind them, "Hello, Dad." Goodbye, Dad. Hannah squinted her eyes and propped herself up, casting a memoralized look into her digestive cavity.
