TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Inside the creature's stomach...

"Allston, do you really want to get out of here?" A white-haired old man asked. He had a thin, almost dry body.

Around him was a group of old people, each of whom was thin and dry.

One of these people was Liu Yang.

Among all the people around him, he's the only one who didn't look skinny or anything.

Liu Yang had been on the scene for almost a year now, after wandering around inside the giant creature's body and killing the worms, he leveled out a lot.

To his surprise, the level within the venue was not restricted to 300, the maximum level was 400. But why was it different? 

"Yes. Staying inside is very tedious and you can't do anything. And you? Did you all never think of leaving here?" Liu Yang replied and asked. He had been inside the creature for over a year.

Besides fighting worms, he only ate and slept.

The food was the sea creatures that were swallowed, but that were not eaten by the worms. Eating poisoned and rotten-smelling food is not something Liu Yang could do. He also had a lot of edible things inside his ring and bag, like potions and ingredients for dishes.

Currently, he was in a village made of stone inside the stomach of a giant creature. As the site was made entirely of stone, the first residents only needed to dig the rocks to make a home.

Looking from a distance, you can see several holes in the walls. Each hole was about ten meters above the ground, as no one wanted to be attacked by thousands of worms while sleeping.

"We've tried everything we can to find the way out, but we never found any clues about the way out. The oldest of us has been here for over thirty years, he came from the Western Kingdom." The old man pointed to another old man with white hair, he was the slimmest of them all.

"The Western Kingdom? But isn't that too far? I was swallowed by the creature when I was in The Khisal Kingdom" Liu Yang was very shocked to hear those words. He knows where the Western Kingdom was.

The distance between the two kingdoms was not small. At best, the distance was too great. It is more than fifty thousand kilometers away. This is a lot.

Each of the kingdoms on the Xinia Continent was extremely large, tens of thousands of kilometers long. Some kingdoms were even twice the size of others.

The continent's external appearance was very small compared to the original size inside. It looked like it was another dimension or something.

"Allston, it's normal for you to be scared. When I was swallowed by the creature, I was on a ship traveling through the frozen kingdom, the Glizzard Kingdom. This kingdom is at the southern end of the Xinia Continent, as well as at the northern end, the kingdom is completely frozen" The old man commented.

"Can this creature navigate the seas? But how come no one has ever commented on news about a giant creature in the sea?" Liu Yang understood that the giant creature is not in the same place, but how has anyone ever seen something like this?

One of his doubts has finally been clarified. Liu Yang finally understood why he managed to level to levels above 300.

"Allston, have you never heard of giant sea creatures? Not even in the legends?" Many old people were surprised to hear this.

"Not. I only heard stories of giant creatures hidden in the mountains or forests, but not in the sea" Liu Yang bought information of all kinds before, but none of them mentions giant sea creatures the size of a city.

"I see… How can I explain this… Over the years, many people have mysteriously disappeared into the sea. Onlookers often saw large mouths with thousands of sharp teeth swallowing these people's ships and boats. But the true appearance of these creatures has never been seen because their bodies are so big that just the mouth was enough to terrify someone, let alone the entire body." The old man explained seriously. He was one of those people who was swallowed by the ship with many other people.

"Ohh… But are there many of these creatures? Such a thing shouldn't have too many out there, right?" Liu Yang already found it very insane to find a creature of this size.

If there are multiple creatures, who could fight these things?

Liu Yang thought that none had the power to deal with these things.

"Yes. Throughout history, about eight or nine such creatures have been seen, but there may be more hidden within the vast dark ocean" The old man replied.

"I see ..." Liu Yang was thoughtful.

(Eight? Nine? Is it possible that there are nine giant sea creatures hidden within the sea? And is it also possible that there are nine giant creatures in the mountains and forests? That must be the case, one for each kingdom. But how strong are these things?) Various thoughts on the subject appeared in Liu Yang's mind when he heard about the number of giant sea creatures hidden within the sea.

His thoughts were correct and wrong. 

Each kingdom had five extremely powerful creatures living in its territories. Each of the five creatures was a different type.

Wild beast, sea beast, desert beast, zombie, and demon. Those are the five types.

Each of these creatures is extremely powerful and rarely appears in the world for anyone to see them unless they are disturbed or someone invades their territories.

"Allston, if you want to get out of here. You will have to dig deeper into the creature's stomach to search. Currently, we are in the middle of the stomach. To get to the bottom of its stomach, you need to go through the acid lake, the poison waterfalls, and the ​​worm sea" The old man pointed to a large hole on the other side of the wall.

The creature's stomach was full of powerful poisons and acids that corrode anything. Besides, there were also giant worms, a sea of ​​worms.

"Have you ever been to these places?" Liu Yang asked curiously. He needed to learn a few things before entering these places.

"We only arrived at the edge of the acid lake, but nobody dared to enter. Some entered, but all died from being melted because of the acid." The old man commented.

The group has seen many people before, the vast majority of them have died because they could not stand to stay inside and tried to leave. But when they entered the acid pool, their bodies melted like butter.

"I see ... What was the longest distance anyone has come?" Liu Yang needed to understand a few things about the acid pool before entering.

"I think it was about fifty meters, before his body completely melted" The old man commented.

Everyone remembers the scenes of people trying to cross the acid lake, which was extremely horrible to see.
