National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

"It should be in the abdominal cavity or between the muscle layers."

He pressed the 'wall' with the hilt of his knife; it was a deep red membrane of flesh.

The smell of decay wasn't as strong here, but the stench of blood was much stronger, mixed with the aroma of grease...

This strange mixture didn't smell bad at all; in fact, it was somewhat appetizing.

[They're actually inside! What kind of Cthulhu-themed cave adventure is this?]

[This scene is clearly a living maze!]

Am I the only one who thinks this phosphorescence is kind of dreamy?

[Judging from Coffin Guy's calm expression, he's probably considering whether to steam or braise this piece of meat.]

[Random: Thanks to nature for its gifts.]

"Don't move." Ren Yi suddenly grabbed Ivan.

Ivan slowly turned his head.

From a crease he had just passed, a translucent, fist-sized ball of flesh emerged.

It clicked, and Ivan recognized it—it was a blinking blue eye.

"..."

Kazlan stared at Ivan with his big eyes for a few seconds, then 'whoosh' retreated back into the folds.

"It...it doesn't seem to have any ill intentions?" Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It might be a judgment that you can't eat it."

He shrugged casually and walked over to the pile of minced meat that had helped them land softly.

[Decomposable target detected: fatty tissue of a giant whale]

[Decomposition yields: 5 combustible fats, 1 whale oil]

[Confirm decomposition?]

"break down."

The pile of minced meat on the ground vanished instantly.

Natural fuel, this is much more efficient than before!

Looking around, this tiny bit of flesh was nothing compared to the enormous body.

It's impossible for him to move all the whale's cargo by himself.

Perhaps they should start by identifying the most valuable parts and beginning to break them down.

"Let's go, this place is like a maze, let's just pick a path."

They chose a relatively open 'corridor'.

It was probably the creature's blood vessels, more than two meters wide, enough for two people to walk side by side.

The further in you go, the more rhythmically the weakened 'walls' pulsate, as if something is pumping energy.

"Boss, you said this thing's outside is all rotten, it must have been dead for a long time, right?"

Ivan held his worries across his chest.

"How come it's still like it's alive inside?"

"I don't know, maybe it's still alive in some sense."

Looking at the peculiar symbiotic colonies on the walls of the passage, it seems that a unique ecosystem has been formed here.

After walking for about ten minutes, a fork in the road appeared ahead—

The passage on the left was dark, but wide.

The passage on the right is much narrower, probably only wide enough for one person to pass through, but the phosphorescence is much brighter in the depths.

Which way to go?

Ivan looked for his opinion with his eyes.

Ren did not answer immediately.

He took out two pieces of fresh fish and threw them forcefully into the depths of the passage.

Two seconds later, a "plop" sound came from the left, followed by a slight rustling of water, and then the water returned to calm.

Meanwhile, the other piece of fish that flew to the right hadn't even landed yet.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

It was pierced through in mid-air by several pink "meat strips" that looked like frog tongues.

The process was so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly, and my eyelids kept twitching.

Ivan even instinctively touched his neck, as if he were the one who had been stabbed.

"Swimming pool on the left, cafeteria on the right."

Renyi started telling lame jokes again.

[Hahaha, what the hell is that swimming pool and cafeteria!]

[So, did Coffin Guy choose to go swimming in the pool?]

[I bet a dollar, the boss will definitely choose the left one; that thing on the right looks like it's not to be messed with.]

Ivan clearly thought so too.

The right side is too exciting. "Boss, shall we go to the left?"

"Let's take a look to the left, but we might not go in. Let's do some preparation first."

As he spoke, he randomly took out a few pieces of wood from the system warehouse.

"Could you do me a favor and split these into strips about one meter long?"

Without asking any questions, Ivan, preoccupied with his own thoughts, chopped the wood with a few quick snips. It must be said, this axe was surprisingly efficient at rough work.

They randomly took a scrap of cloth, soaked it in fish oil, tied it to a wooden strip, and then coated it with flammable grease.

Take a magnesium rod from a waterproof bag made from the swim bladder of an unlucky fish and light the torch.

"That way you can see it clearly; if there's not enough oxygen, it will go out."

The two walked one after the other, carrying torches, through the wide, dark passage, the faint sound of water growing clearer with each step.

At the end of the passage, a strong sour smell suddenly hit us.

"Ugh..." Ivan gagged, a rare occurrence for him.

"This smells so much better than the one in my previous cabin!"

Bro, so you knew your cabin smelled bad!

Thinking arbitrarily and silently.

However, what we see here should be one of the creature's stomachs, the stomachs used to digest food.

[Holy crap! It's like a swimming pool of stomach acid!]

[If you fell from there, you'd be reduced to a skeleton in a second, right?]

[I can practically smell the sourness in Ivan's expression...]

Reach out your hand and approach the stomach wall.

[Decomposable target detected: gastric gland tissue of an ancient giant whale]

The target is an integral part of the current ecological cycle and cannot be decomposed.

"It just didn't work."

It's a bit of a shame, though; if this stomach could be decomposed, it would definitely be a top-tier biomaterial.

Ivan, eager to try, suggested, "Boss, how about we cut it off the whole time?"

This seemingly improbable suggestion caught Ren Yi's eye.

It's worth a try!

Although the stomach was large, the inside was not as tough as the outer skin. It took him and Ivan a bit of effort to work together, but it wasn't impossible.

I took two steps toward the edge of the acid pool, trying to see the connection points of the stomach wall structure.

Just then, a much larger bubble suddenly rose from the center of the acid pool that was bubbling intermittently.

"Boss!"

This did not escape Ivan's watchful eyes, and Renyi also gripped his weapon tightly, staring intently at the acid pool.

"Splash—"

Amidst the splashing acid, a strangely shaped 'bug' rose upright from the pool.

It had no eyes, only a huge, round mouthpart with rings of sharp, meat-grinding teeth; its obese body resembled sections of tires pieced together.

It looks like a sandworm that wandered onto the wrong movie set.

The portion of it protruding from the acid pool was already much taller than two people, and highly corrosive acid was constantly dripping from it.

The floating bone fragments below were dripping and making a sizzling sound.

[Holy crap! Sandworms! It's sandworms!]

[This look...it gives me the creeps!]

Neither Renyi nor Ivan moved for a moment, and the insect did not immediately launch an attack, as if it were observing them.

Half an hour passed.

"Boss... this guy doesn't seem to be working too hard."

Ivan said in a low voice.

Just as Ivan was speaking, the insect moved.

Its bulky body tilted back, its neck muscles bulging high.

"Watch out!" The two stepped back to either side.

"puff--"

Dark green acid sprayed out from the middle of the water gun-like mouthpiece, and a crater emitting white smoke instantly appeared on the ground where the two had just stood.

Missing its first attack, the insect sprayed several more times.

The two ran apart to disperse its attack.

"This guy's a living acid cannon!"

Ivan shouted as he dodged.

Fortunately, its attack methods are very simple, but this can't go on forever; if it gets hit by one, it'll be disastrous!

"Scolder it; it's sensitive to sound," Ren Yi calmly said.

It only started attacking after Ivan spoke.

"what?"

Ivan was momentarily confused; what kind of tactic was this?

"Hurry up!" someone urged. "Use what you're best at!"

Although Ivan was full of questions, he immediately carried out the order out of trust. He took a deep breath:

"@#￥%&*!"

"You're just a soft tube with no eyes! You look like a broken tire. Did you pull your intestines out when you were born?"

Look at your mouth! What you vomit stinks worse than my unwashed socks from a month ago! You deserve to roll around in a septic tank! #￥%&……”
