"This is the stomach ventricle?!" Mr. Cheng's voice was unusually dry. "Does this mean we've been swallowed?"

Fear, like cold tentacles, coiled around everyone's heart.

“That makes sense! Luckily, this whale was already dying, so digestion won’t be too fast.” Li Jinshao nodded in agreement with Xi Xi’s analysis: “Otherwise, we would have been destroyed along with the vehicle in just a few hours.”

“No matter what, we need to get out of here as soon as possible,” Xi Xi said, and then began to make plans.

There is no shortage of water here, not only gastric juice, but also blood that has not yet dried up, so that those huge folds and tubes are not too dry.

Between the viscous liquid and the churning acid mist, some thick, dark purple structures, like giant cables, could be vaguely seen, deeply embedded in the stomach wall tissue, their surfaces covered with a slippery membrane.

After discussing it with Li Jinshao, Xi Xi finally decided to attack a relatively weak point at the junction of the first stomach wall and the second stomach ventricle—where the tissue was slightly lighter in color and had fewer folds.

With everyone working together, they found a spot and launched a group attack. Water whips, light blades, fire arrows, electric batons... all kinds of attacks were mixed together, cold and hot, emitting a loud "hissing" sound, and white steam rose up for a moment.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a muffled, terrifying thud, as if the entire space had been struck by a giant hammer!

Boom! The entire first ventricle spasmed and convulsed violently, its huge folds contracting and expanding violently before finally giving up the struggle.

The murky gastric juices and partially digested food residue were thrown several meters into the air before crashing down, sending everyone reeling.

With a "sizzle," the tough whale stomach wall tissue gradually carbonized and pulverized under repeated attacks, and the thick layer of fat instantly vaporized, emitting a pungent burnt smell.

A charred hole, irregularly shaped, emitting wisps of smoke, and two to three meters in diameter, suddenly appeared! In an instant, seawater from the outside rushed in.

"The passage is open! Charge!" Xi Xi commanded the puppet manatee.

The mutated organisms are not affected by acid rain in the coral reef area, and therefore should not be corroded by stomach acid.

However, as she passed through the other gastric chambers, Xi Xi couldn't help but gasp – it was a huge, slippery, rock-grinding cavity.

The "walls" here are thicker and covered with more rough, millstone-like, hard keratinous protrusions.

The whale appeared to be completely dead, but the mutated fish outside continued their attack, and the whale's internal organs churned violently. Several stomach chambers were perforated, constantly grinding and squeezing the undigested giant squid shells, fish bones, and even the remains of unknown crustaceans.

As a result, the strong acid solution also seemed to have penetrated many tissues and mixed together.

Inevitably, the situation for the vehicles was even worse.

Even the relatively sturdy RV shell of the Xi Xi emitted a dense "sizzling" sound under the continuous licking of the strong acid mixture.

Not to mention the other vehicles' outer shells, large patches of corrosion spread like ugly sores, and some areas even began to soften and deform.

"Faster! Faster!" Xi Xi urgently commanded the puppet manatee.

The manatee's eyes turned blood red, whether from the urgency of the situation or from having previously eaten whale meat, its running speed visibly increased dramatically.

Xi Xi was startled, sensing that this giant whale was no ordinary creature. However, the situation was urgent, leaving her no time to think; she had to concentrate fully on controlling the puppet manatee.

Just then, an unidentified object fell from a height and landed with a "plop" into the churning pool of strong acid below!

It was about the size of a washbasin, thick and heavy, with a creamy yellow color and irregular edges, but Xi Xi still recognized it as a piece of fat.

Strangely, the expected scene of fat dissolving upon contact with strong acid did not occur.

The whale blubber floated and sank in the yellow-green mixture, while the acid bubbled violently around it, but its surface only became slightly moist and smooth!

It didn't dissolve! It didn't corrode! It stubbornly floated, resisting the strong acid that could corrode even steel!

"The blubber of this mutated giant whale is corrosion resistant!" Xi Zhongcang realized something, his voice changing with extreme shock and sudden elation.

At the same time, the puppet manatee tensed its muscles, pulling Xi Xi and her group completely out of the whale's body, instantly startling away a group of mutated shrimp outside.

Before anyone could even gasp in celebration, they heard Xi Xi's voice, imbued with undeniable power, come from the light screen connection:

"Watch your surroundings! Don't let your guard down!"

Countless grotesque, eerily glowing deep-sea mutated creatures surged forth from all directions, like piranhas drawn by the scent of blood, emerging from the dark crevices of the stomach walls, from the bottom of the acidic pool, and from every direction! Their density was even greater than before!

The predators attracted by the "whale fall" are now not only the common fish and shrimp, but also many mutated marine creatures that have never been seen before.

There are strange fish that are the size of sharks, but have three pairs of compound eyes and sickle-shaped forelimbs; there are giant blind shrimp whose shells are covered with sharp spikes, whose mouthparts are like drills, and which spray dark green venom; there are worm-like creatures whose soft bodies are covered with glowing pustules and whose tentacles are covered with barbed tentacles...

"Perfect timing! All the blended materials we need!" Cheng's mother perked up, showing a rare burst of fighting spirit.

“Alright. Let’s split up for now.” Xi Xi calmly analyzed the current situation and planned, “The first priority is to protect the whale blubber! Attention everyone—whale blubber is corrosion-resistant!! Li Jinshao, you go collect the whale blubber! The rest of you, come with me to lure the mutated creature away!”
