Entering the sea range of the star beast again, the four people were more vigilant than before.
Wei San's mecha power declined, and he only had time to change his weapon to an ordinary 3S-level knife. However, their purpose had changed from killing the star beast to finding out what was wrong with the star beast.
The plan this time was still for Yamamiya Ha Ren to lure the star beast to open its mouth, but the people who entered became Wei San and Yamamiya Yunan. Ying Xingjue was responsible for the last line of defense, controlling the star beast to open its mouth and let the two people out.
"In front." Ying Xingjue said to the three people. This time he did not release his perception blindly. After finding out where the star beast was, he immediately retracted his perception.
Yamamiya Ha Ren flew over first. He looked at the sea surface from above, and suddenly turned around and flew back.
"Brother, what's wrong?" asked Yamamiya Yuo.
"That star beast is hunting." Yamamiya Ha Ren said, "Other star beasts were bitten by it and had no chance to resist. I suspect that the tentacle star beast was eaten by it."
"If a star beast of this size keeps moving, it must hunt a large number of star beasts, but the number of star beasts around is still in a balanced state." Wei San thought for a while and said, "Maybe this star beast has a dormant period."
"With such a big movement, I think it is definitely not dormant now." Yamamiya Ha Ren looked at the movement in the distance, "Should we continue?"
"Continue." Wei San looked at Ying Xing Jue, "After we go in for an hour, you control the star beast again."
Although they carried mobile signals with them, Communication is possible, but there is no guarantee that it will be disconnected after entering the star beast, so the time must be determined in advance.
Ying Xingjue agreed.
The four of them arranged their positions again, and Yamamiya Hazan dived down, half of his body submerged in the water, and controlled the whip to swing at the star beast. Perhaps the star beast was in the mood for hunting and did not notice this attack, and was busy swallowing the star beasts around it.
Wei San was watching nearby. The star beast opened its mouth too quickly. If they wanted to get in intact, they would have to find an opportunity like last time.
With Yamamiya Hazan's unremitting efforts, he finally attracted the attention of the star beast and changed to chasing him.
Yamamiya Hazan deliberately slowed down the speed of taking off in order to give the star beast an illusion so that it could bite him.
As expected, the star beast took the bait and followed him to the surface, opening its mouth to bite him.
Right now!
Wei San and Yamamiya Yunan jumped up and fell into the mouth of the star beast. Yamamiya's wave blade flew forward, and the star beast closed its mouth and fell into the sea.
Once he entered the star beast's mouth, it was a little different from what Yamamiya Yunan had expected. He did not fall into the corrosive slime.
Yamamiya Yunan pointed at the two cavities and asked, "Did you come in like this last time?"
"No." Wei San grabbed the inner wall of the star beast and fixed his position. "Last time, there was only one cavity, which was covered with slime. It might be because of eating."
The two stood in the star beast's mouth, looking at each cavity. In one of them, a little bit of the star beast's meat could be seen, and the other was still covered with gray slime.
"This is its esophagus, what about the other one?" Yamamiya Yunan came back to his senses and asked.
"Since it is artificial mucus, someone must have put it in." Wei San paused and said, "Of course, it is also possible that it accidentally ate it."
"Let's go in and take a look." Yamamiya Yunan looked down at the new coating on his mecha.
The mouth of this star beast was unexpectedly stable when it swam. The two of them only felt a violent bump when it fell into the water.
Wei San did not rush over. Knowing that Ying Xingjue was outside, she was not worried about getting out. She squatted down and looked at the inner wall of the star beast's mouth.
Last time she did not have time to observe the situation inside carefully. This time she was prepared and had time to observe the inner wall of the star beast.
The knife scratched it, and there was no scratch mark at all.
Wei San frowned as she looked down at the restored inner wall. With the artificial slime in front of her, she suspected that there were problems in other parts of the star beast.
"The coating is useful." Yamamiya Yongnan turned to Wei San and said. One of her hands had already touched the slime and was not corroded.
Wei San stood up and went over. The two tried to push away the slime, only to find that there was too much slime.
"I'll go in first." Wei San said simply, "You wait outside, the communication is on, don't turn it off."
"Got it."
As soon as they came in, after the star beast closed its mouth, the signal outside continued intermittently until it was cut off.
The signals of the two people inside could be connected to each other, and they could see each other on the optical computer.
Wei San controlled the mecha to enter the slime, as if entering another kind of sticky "sea". She slowly squeezed forward, and nothing happened for the time being.
The mecha had been treated with anti-penetration, so the mucus could not enter the mecha cabin. Wei San moved forward faster and faster, and it always felt like there was no end.
...
"Wei San, we still have 30 minutes!" Yamamiya Yongnan said anxiously during the communication, "You haven't found anything yet?"
Because she was using an optical computer, she could only see Wei San inside the mecha cabin, and could not see the situation outside the mecha.
"I know." Wei San continued to move forward, and his speed increased again, but he was restricted by the mucus and could not move freely.
"You don't have time to come back like this."
"There must be an end." Wei San was determined from nowhere, and she looked at Yamamiya Yongnan on the optical computer.
As soon as the voice fell, Wei San looked at a place not far away, and then rushed out quickly.
"What's wrong?" Yamamiya Yunan asked when she saw Wei San's strange expression.
"There is a door here." Wei San had already walked out of the 'slime sea' and looked at a stone door opposite. She was stunned.
"Door?"
Wei San glanced at the time on the computer, turned off the communication, took a photo of the door opposite, and then quickly turned around and re-entered the 'slime sea.'
When Wei San came out, Yamamiya Yunan was already worried as if she was being pawed by thousands of claws, and asked her: "What kind of door is that? What's inside when you open it?"
"I didn't open it."
Yamamiya Yunan: "?"
"It's time." Wei San watched the star beast's mouth slowly open, and without waiting for it to open completely, he pulled Yamamiya Yunan out.
Yamamiya Yongnan: “???”
As soon as the two of them left, Wei San ran straight to Ying Xingjue and held his hand: “No need to control it anymore, we can escape.”
Of course he could escape, but it would take some effort, not as easy as last time.
Yamamiya Yunan ran like a wolf, and couldn't even ask about the door until he ran to the land out of breath.
She came out of the mecha cabin, holding her waist and panting for a long time, and finally pointed at Wei San, and then at Ying Xingjue: "I, you... So in order to prevent him from overusing his senses, you won't open the door? He's already in."
"What door?" Ying Xingjue raised his eyes and glanced at Yamamiya Yunan and asked.
After being looked at by Ying Xingjue, Shan Gong Yong Nan felt a little guilty and took back the hand pointing at him: "Wei San passed through the slime and found a door inside. She came out without opening it."
"We can go again next time." Wei San took out a laptop, "I have taken a picture of the door."
Wei San did not intend to go only once, so he did not have any psychological burden.
"I said there were still 30 minutes left, but you were still delaying and wanted to go forward. When you saw the door, you ran out by yourself." Shan Gong Yong Nan could not understand it at all. If it were her, she would definitely push the door open first.
"I know the time, and the door can't be opened for a while." Wei San showed a few photos, "You need a key to open it."
The others looked over and found that there was a keyhole on the door.
Ying Xingjue stood by and crossed another photo. There was no keyhole on it, only a circular pattern protruding in the middle.
"It's the same as the opening of the mechanism in Willard's house last time." Wei San crossed it back, "I twisted it open and the keyhole was revealed."
"Then four keys are needed?" Shan Gong Bo Ren looked at the keyhole on the door and said, "What's going on inside this star beast? What did someone do inside?"
This matter is getting more and more outrageous. Originally, they just wanted to kill the star beast and get the super 3s star beast materials, but it turned out to be the current situation.
Wei San was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "I may have a key."
Shan Gong siblings: "???"
"The key of Star Lord Willard?" Ying Xingjue asked her. When Star Lord Willard opened the door, he saw a '2' engraved on it. It was very small and almost imperceptible.
At that time, Ying Xingjue thought it meant the second laboratory, but the laboratory in Star Lord Willard's home was obviously earlier than the laboratory in the simulation world. Now it seems that it probably refers to the second door that can be opened.
Wei San nodded: "The Star Lord's key is with me, but I have another one."
Shan Gong siblings were no longer talking, and their mood was a bit complicated: How come there is a door in the belly of the star beast? How come Wei San happened to have two keys in his hand?
Ying Xingjue said, "We are still short of two keys."
"Maybe we can ask Gong Yijue." Wei San stared at the photo and said, "I have also seen the pattern on this door."
Ying Xingjue quietly waited for her to say the next words.
"When I found the purple liquid mushroom on Guyu Star, there was a pattern on the door of Gong Yiliu's office." Wei San thought for a moment and said, "It is very similar to the pattern on this door. In addition, the key in my hand was found in Ji Ci's former residence. It was originally something that Ji Ci hid in there, but Gong Yiliu swapped it and put the key in."
Shan Gonghan had countless questions in his heart and looked at Wei San: "When did you find the key in Ji Ci's former residence?"
Didn't they go to visit together at that time? How come she found the key and they didn't know anything about it.
There was a smile in Ying Xingjue's eyes suddenly: "Were you the ones who robbed in masked clothes at Ji Ci's former residence that night?"
When Shanmiya Boyen heard Ying Xingjue's words, he immediately remembered the headlines of Xita Star at that time: "So you went there to scout the place during the day?"
Wei San clenched his fist and coughed: "How could that be? During the day, I purely visited the former residence of Senior Ji Ci with admiration."
Shanmiya Boyen said "hmm": "After the visit, we decided to rob on the spur of the moment."
Listening to them talk, Shanmiya Yongnan realized it belatedly and summed up the biggest question in his mind: "Why were Gong Yiliu and Ji Ci's things taken away by you, the Damocles Military Academy?"
Logically speaking, Gong Yijue and Ji Jian were the ones who should have discovered these things, so how come Wei San got the purple liquid mushroom and the key?
Wei San pretended to be mysterious and said, "Maybe this is fate."
Several people went out to the competition again. This time, it was no longer a problem of star beasts or slime, but wondering where the other two keys would be.
The Shan Gong brothers and sisters had no idea at all. After returning, Ying Xingjue asked Wei San about the process of getting the key at Ji Ci's former residence and getting the purple liquid mushroom at that time.
"You mentioned Senior Yu Qingfei twice?" Ying Xingjue pondered for a moment and said, "Since Gong Yiliu put the key at Ji Ci's former residence, maybe there are other keys that will be placed somewhere in Senior Yu Qingfei's place."
But there are too many memorial halls for Yu Qingfei in the Federation.
"...I know one." Wei San suddenly remembered a place.
