Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger-Chapter 199: World Inside the Belly
Chapter 199: Chapter 199: World Inside the Belly
Bathed in the glow of the stars, Xu Feng saw five blood-colored Wolf Demons, all at the Unification Realm.
Five bloodthirsty gazes, dead set on Xu Feng.
The surrounding area had already been sealed off by the five Wolf Demons.
"Damn it all to hell!"
The Divine Thought Avatar and Sword Spirit Xiaotao were both in the Human Clan Immortal Realm.
And the Nine Palace Jade Toad was tens of thousands of miles away from this place, Xu Feng’s Divine Thought unable to connect in an instant.
"It’s been a long time since I’ve had a fight." Xu Feng watched the five blood-colored giant wolves ahead with a vigilant gaze.
Because he was comprehending the Alchemy Great Scripture, Xu Feng used his Divine Thought to temporarily create an avatar for the descent, not directly entering the avatar formed by the condensed Divine Thought.
A light breeze picked up, and Wind Spirit appeared behind Xu Feng.
The five blood-colored giant wolves formed a circle, slowly advancing towards Xu Feng.
"Never thought I’d have to use Qi Explosion Technique again."
Xu Feng gave a wry smile and just as the giant wolves pounced, he suddenly shot up from the ground, a streamlined Wind Shield protecting his whole body.
The long-condensed Qi Explosion Technique suddenly burst forth, pushing Xu Feng towards the direction of Qingqiu Mountain in the distance.
Just then, not far from Xu Feng, several strange birds charged rapidly towards him.
"Holy shit!"
Xu Feng abruptly changed direction and pulled away using another Qi Explosion.
Flying through the sky, Xu Feng continuously tried to summon the Divine Thought Avatar and Sword Spirit Xiaotao, but felt no response.
A flock of strange birds pursued Xu Feng relentlessly in the sky.
Fortunately, Xu Feng’s speed was just a bit faster than the flock.
In the midst of the chase, Xu Feng suddenly heard a distant, long cry, followed by the feeling that the space around him had frozen.
A giant kun fish as vast as a mountain range, covered in starlight, flew over Xu Feng’s head.
And the space where Xu Feng was, was sucked in by the giant kun in a single gulp.
In a flash, Xu Feng felt the world spinning.
When his senses returned, he found himself on a stone bed.
Xu Feng got up, looking puzzledly around.
Illuminated by the light at the cave entrance, he realized he was inside a mountain cave.
Just as Xu Feng stood up, he suddenly felt a wave of pain throughout his body.
At that moment, two figures taller and more robust than the average Human Clan member walked in.
"You’re awake, come out and eat something."
After a long look at the two men, Xu Feng relaxed, confirming they were from the Human Clan.
"Where is this place?"
"The world within the kun’s belly; over 3000 years ago, our entire village was swallowed here." A giant almost a Zhang tall said.
Xu Feng endured the pain all over his body and walked out of the cave.
He found himself in a valley, a rather primitive and large village lay before Xu Feng.
Just then, Xu Feng realized his Cultivation had vanished, reduced to that of a mere mortal.
Seeing Xu Feng’s state, the other two strongmen both laughed.
"Every lifeform that enters the world within the belly has all its power sucked away by this world. The only thing you can rely on is your own physical strength." One of the strongmen said, showing off his arm, which was thicker than Xu Feng’s thigh.
It was high noon in the world within the belly, and Xu Feng was taken to a small square.
A large bowl of meat and three coarse grain cakes.
"If you want to survive in this world, you need to get stronger, otherwise, you won’t even be able to kill the weakest rabbit outside the village, and it’ll be hard to find a wife in the village." The strongman sitting next to Xu Feng said while eating.
"Eat up, this is the only meal provided by the village. If you don’t eat your fill, you’ll go hungry for a day."
The just-awakened Xu Feng was still dazed, but the hunger in his stomach made him pick up the coarse grain cakes.
"How do you get out of this world within the belly?" Xu Feng asked while eating his cakes.
"We can’t get out." The strongman said, picking a large piece of meat from the bowl and putting it into his mouth.
"Isn’t there even a legend about getting out?" Xu Feng’s brows furrowed slightly.
"There isn’t~" The strongman shook his head again.
"..."
Why doesn’t this fit with the plot? In the past, when the protagonist entered such a world, at least there was a legend about getting out.
Adhering to the philosophy of taking one step at a time, Xu Feng finished the three coarse grain cakes.
Regarding the bowl of meat, Xu Feng disliked the strange taste and gave it to the strongman he was talking to.
"I’m Hai Li. The village chief has entrusted you to me. If you need help with anything in the near future, just say it. From now on, you’re one of our village." Hai Li said, revealing his large teeth still not entirely clear of the meat.
"I’m Xu Feng. Where is the village chief? I’d like to meet him." Xu Feng said.
"The village chief has gone hunting; he should be back in the evening and will probably meet with you."
"It’s been a long time since someone new came to the village." Hai Li said.
At the entrance of the valley, which was also the gateway to the entire village,
Xu Feng sat on a stone, his gaze vacant as he looked at his bloodied fingertip.
"It’s not scientific; it was supposed to be a Divine Thought Avatar, so how has it now turned into a physical body?" Xu Feng was full of doubts.
Compared to this, his current dire situation was even worse.
Looking at the sun in the sky, Xu Feng tried to circulate the Circulation Wind Spirit Technique again, but still, he felt not a trace of Spiritual Power.
He observed the various plants and herbs inside and outside the valley and found them to be the most common kind.
A group of sturdy children urinated together a couple of Zhang away from Xu Feng.
Every so often, he glanced at Xu Feng curiously, his eyes brimming with inquisitiveness.
Xu Feng sat at the entrance of the village until dusk before he saw a group of hunters returning, laden with their game.
At this time, most of the villagers were gathered at the entrance.
A towering and muscular giant carried a wild beast the size of an ox on his shoulders.
"Today we hunted up to Tianjiao, and we caught quite a lot, so we’ll rest tomorrow," the giant announced loudly.
Then the giant noticed Xu Feng sitting atop the rock.
"Newcomer, join us for a drink tonight," proclaimed the giant cheerily.
"Thank you, village chief."
The people returned to the valley, and at this moment, a group started pulling on chains, a stone gate slowly rose from the ground, precisely blocking the village entrance.
With plenty of game, the whole village began to cheer.
At night, beside a trench fire.
The muscular man handed Xu Feng a jar of wine.
"Looking at your frame, you must have been a cultivator of the Human Clan before coming here, right? How is the Human Clan doing now?" the muscular man inquired.
"It’s alright, a three-way war between the Dragon Court, Demon Clan, and Witch Clan. Nearly half of the Human Clan’s strong ones were injured, but it has ushered in a peaceful development period," Xu Feng glanced at the murky wine in the jar.
"For the Human Clan to rise, who knows how many more hardships must be endured," the muscular man sighed.
Xu Feng didn’t care about that much, he got up and gathered some herbs nearby, cleaned them, crushed them into a ball, and put them into the jar of wine.
The originally murky wine became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Village chief, is there a way out of this world within a world?"
"Even a legend will do," questioned Xu Feng.
This mortal body made him extremely uncomfortable; he could distinctly feel the loss of his life force.
According to his prediction, this body could last at most 80 years.
"You can’t get out, but there is a legend."
"At noon, you follow the direction of the sun."
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng turned serious.
"Follow the direction of the sun and fly over, there is a door in the high sky, it is said that exiting through that door will take you back to the Great Wilderness World," the village chief said.
"Fly out? With a mortal body?"
"Yes, I saw this on a stone stele, but you must promise me not to tell the people in the village about this," the village chief said solemnly.
"I understand," Xu Feng nodded.
The next day, Xu Feng told the villagers that he was an alchemist before coming here, skilled in pharmacology, and could serve as a doctor in the village.
Once the words were spoken, the villagers’ attitudes towards him obviously warmed up.
In recent times, he had cured various difficult diseases in the village, thereby fully establishing his position as the village doctor.
On a huge smooth polished stone slab, Xu Feng spread out a giant piece of paper, one zhang in length and width.
The paper was covered with drawings of various mechanical parts.
"It has been a month already, wondering if that damn brat has noticed something odd."
"Really regret not studying more science in my previous life, otherwise it wouldn’t be so hard now," Xu Feng lamented.
He discovered that although he had become a mortal in this inner world, his unparalleled comprehension still remained.
After some time spent exploring the surroundings and combining the available materials, Xu Feng designed a semi-automatic high-speed steam flyer on the paper.
He also wanted to find oil, but there was none within a thousand li radius.
As for regions beyond that, those were territories of other races.
Just as Xu Feng was mentally simulating how to make the steam flyer, he suddenly felt a violent jolt in his soul.
He sensed the presence of that little rascal, Sword Spirit Xiaotao, and the Nine Palace Jade Toad.
"Xiaoyu, go to Qingqiu Mountain and tell your Nine-tails sister that I’m in the Divine Beast World within the belly of the Kun," Xu Feng soul transmitted.
Turtleton and Sword Spirit Xiaotao were in the Human Clan Immortal Realm; without him as a mediator, it was utterly impossible for them to enter the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World.
"At your command." It was a while before Xu Feng received Xiaoyu’s reply, intermittent, like an unstable signal.
After doing all this, Xu Feng looked at the drawings he had labored over, was about to tear them up, but stopped at a critical moment.
"Whether I can get out or not remains to be seen, let’s continue building," Xu Feng uttered leisurely.
It was getting dark, and many hunters returned with their loads of game on stretchers.
Leading them was the village chief, a giant, who was carrying a huge bed crossbow—a special creation for him crafted by Xu Feng.
"Brother Xu, still working on your flying contraption?" the village chief called out in a loud voice.
"There’s always something to do," said Xu Feng to the giant, smiling.
At night, in a room illuminated brightly by an oil lamp.
Xu Feng began to record some things in the script of the Human Clan of the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World—things that could be helpful to this village.
Agriculture, medicine, grazing, taming, weaponmaking, house building...
He felt that as a member of the Human Clan, even if he couldn’t bring anything with him upon departure, he should leave behind some useful things.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in~"
Once the village chief entered the room, it immediately became crowded.
"How have you considered it? If I can leave, would you come with me?" asked Xu Feng.
"I won’t leave; I’ve grown up in this village since I was young, and the elders here have been kind to me."
"What about the village if I go?"
"So you can’t leave together?"
