NOVEL NEXT Chapter 68: Celia’s Inside Adventure.
(Celia’s POV)
Getting the attention of the large shark was quite hard… How did that woman even get eaten in the first damn place? Regardless, dumping a bunch of food that I stored up, about 100 meals worth, was what finally got his attention.
Then, floating in the large pile of watered food, the shark approach me, and he opened up his gaping maw. Heh, “gaping maw”, I find that a funny phrase, for some reason. Anyway, he swallowed me whole, and in one go.
On the way down, I had to appreciate this old shark’s very healthy-looking teeth. I mean, what else was there for me to do? Xinobouk was as large as the largest skyscraper back in my original dimension. That is, before it was all apocalyptic, and then fantasy.
A Literal Day Later.
Thankfully, I did finally make it to the damn thing’s stomach. Which was really, really big. The stomach acid was like an entire ocean of melty water. In fact, it was hard to tell how far it even went. It was very dark in here, after all.
Faith: “Okay, you were eaten. Now, find that girl so that you can leave this monster’s insides. I feel sick already…” She pouted.
Celia: “It’s not like I want to stay in Xinobouk any longer than you do…” I say, also pouting.
Flying above the stomach acid, I flew closer to where I was detecting a player. With a multi-mile long creature like Xinobouk is, traversing it takes a long while. I could probably fly for hours on end, just to get to the other side of his stomach alone…
Hours Later.
Faith: “Hey… are you sure that this player hasn’t been melted yet?” She asked.
Celia: “I don’t think that she has, no. Whoever she is, I don’t sense that she is at Death’s door. By the way, whatever happened to you being quiet?” I ask in reply.
Faith: “I will speak when I have things to say, Celia. It isn’t my fault that your life is so damn interesting…” She answered with an aggrieved tone.
Celia: “…”
Eventually, I had to end the stomach adventure. Clearly, this woman wasn’t inside of his stomach. If not, where the hell is she? Heading to the stomach lining, I got as close to the divinity that I was detecting, before then cutting a large hole in it.
I know some things about shark anatomy, so; I think that I am now in Xinobouk’s liver. Please tell me, how does a girl even end up in a giant shark, let alone the liver of a giant shark?
Regardless, if I do not find this woman, then she will surely die of starvation. Before leaving, I had healed up the large cut that I made. I didn’t wish for Xinobouk to die from internal bleeding…
Faith: “Okay, we should be finding this woman soon, right? Please tell me that we will… I am going to start throwing up.” She pleaded.
Celia: “As a soul being living in my soul, can you even throw up?” I ask with a curious tone.
Faith: “No, but I could probably fake it. Celia, if you do not find her within an hour, I will stage a protest!” She said with an angry tone.
Protest away, silly girl. It’s not like you can get me to do things… Besides, like I’ve already said, I also do not wish to be inside this damn shark… Girl, please show up soon, okay?…
