Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 1115: Dragon Belly
The surroundings felt sticky, my skin felt burning, and breathing became increasingly difficult.

Shi Jia, who was unconscious, opened his eyes in discomfort, but his eyes were immediately covered by a sticky liquid that burned his skin. He was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes again.

As his senses awakened, he felt as if his entire body was covered in a sticky, slimy substance, especially his face, which was covered in a thick layer that made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Where is this place?
He shifted his body, feeling a soft touch beneath him. Shi Jia was suspicious; this feeling… He tried to move again, only to find his legs bound by something soft.

Something feels so off.
No, wasn't I knocked unconscious by a powerful pressure? Could it have been those four people who did it?
Suddenly, he felt the softness beneath him move. His legs were tightened, and the softness binding them pulled him down.

The slime on his body slid off with the force, and the slime blocking his nose broke open, releasing a foul stench that almost made him faint again.

At that moment, a terrible thought flashed through Shi Jia's mind: Had he been swallowed by some giant, turbid beast? Could it be the one that released the oppressive aura?

With that thought in mind, Shi Jia no longer hesitated. He mobilized all his energy to summon a paintbrush, held it in his hand, and used very small strokes to depict the sapling.

It wasn't that he didn't want to be moved, but rather that his entire body was almost completely numb.

While focused on summoning the sapling, Shi Jia did not notice the increased frequency of intestinal peristalsis, and the softness that had been gripping his feet had now reached his chest.

The moment he summoned the sapling, he fell into a foul-smelling place filled with corrosive slime, perhaps the stomach of a dragon.

"Ah~"

Shi Jia gasped, instinctively letting the sapling roll him up. Through the sapling's soft glow, he saw a scene that made him want to vomit.

At his feet, four or five mangled corpses slowly writhed in the slime.

"Ugh~"

They were truly swallowed by the monstrous beast!
Shi Jia's face was deathly pale. The snake venom hadn't been completely neutralized, and now it had entered the body of the turbid beast, where the dense, foul energy had already invaded his body. At this moment, his body was already swaying precariously, and he was only held up by the aerial roots of the sapling, preventing him from falling into the slimy ground beneath his feet.

"Don't panic!" Shi Jia took a deep breath, and as the foul odor filled his nostrils, he rolled his eyes and vomited.

It took him a while to recover. He quickly asked the sapling to purify the turbid air in his body and remove the remaining snake venom.

Don't forget the sapling's powerful abilities! It can purify, heal, and fight! It's an all-purpose treasure, which is why he gave the Spirit Fusion Grass to Lu Tianheng without any hesitation.

Even if he hadn't wanted to at the time, it probably wouldn't have mattered, since he was just one person. And Lu Tianheng and his group clearly had ulterior motives.

As the sapling was treated, Shi Jia felt his mind clear up a bit. He quickly took out the Azure Crystal from his mustard seed bag and began to absorb it.

Once the crystal was absorbed, the sapling's treatment was complete. Shi Jia was fully recovered, and even felt a faint sense of breakthrough.

He smiled, his unease lessening considerably. Taking a flashlight from his bag, he forced himself to shine it down on the ground, reluctantly glancing over the bloody carnage. Suddenly, a small bag caught his attention.

"A mustard seed bag!" Shi Jia carefully squatted down, reached out and carefully picked up the bag. It really was a mustard seed bag! He quickly tightened it and put it into his still relatively intact pocket.

One thing to note is that mustard seed bags should not be stacked. If you insist on doing so, there will only be one result: the mustard seed bags will burst.

He picked up a bag of rings, and his unease subsided considerably. His eyes gleamed as he looked at another mangled body, and soon he saw what he wanted. However, they were quite far apart, and there was nothing between them to step on.

However, this was no challenge for him! "Little sapling, go over there!" The little sapling immediately moved according to his will. "Yes, right here!" Shi Jia couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the mustard seed bag.

Suddenly, the mucus, carrying several bloody and mangled bodies, surged up.

"Phew~ That scared me to death." Shi Jia barely managed to avoid the slime and bloody mess while clutching the mustard bag, her heart pounding wildly.

"We can't linger here." Shi Jia immediately abandoned his plan to pick up the mustard seed bag and began to observe his surroundings. He quickly spotted two places that looked like exits.

The reason for saying "suspected" is that neither of these areas is open; rather, they are tightly joined together by soft flesh.

He quickly found an exit, because as the soft flesh of that exit writhed, a fish even bigger than her fell out, and the shimmering blue crystals on its head further demonstrated its power!

Azure-rank turbid beast!

What kind of being could so easily devour a blue-tier turbid beast?
Shi Jia subconsciously swallowed, feeling both fearful and focused on using his paintbrush to obtain the Azure Crystal.

Hehe, why not take advantage of this great deal!
If someone were to observe the dragon's stomach at this moment, they would discover this strange scene: a small sapling emitting a soft green light hangs down with its roots and aerial roots binding a person.

The man held a paintbrush, his eyes fixed on the soft, clenched entrance of the stomach. Whenever something slipped down from there, he would immediately lift the paintbrush.

At this moment, Shi Jia was like a little mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, so happy that he forgot where he was and only cared about picking up crystals. And if he could, he would keep picking them up forever.

However, while he was happy, the dragon was not.

What's wrong with me today? Why am I still hungry even after consuming hundreds of blue-tier food?

Jiao looked at his abdomen, which had almost swelled into a ball, and felt more confused than ever before! Could it be because he had advanced in level?
"Ugh~" Eating too much made the dragon's stomach hurt, and it painfully channeled its spiritual consciousness into its body.

Shi Jia, who was waiting for the crystal to be put into her bag, was completely unaware of this.

But the next second he felt an immense pressure that almost crushed him.

"It's actually a human insect!" The dragon was surprised; it hadn't died after being swallowed. But it wasn't panicked. Since it was already inside its stomach, how could a human insect possibly escape?
However, "So it was this spirit tree that protected you!" Jiao noticed the sapling and couldn't help but feel delighted. Yes, it was the joy of a treasure being delivered to your doorstep.

"Such pure energy! I feel that as long as I absorb this spirit tree, I can immediately ascend to the purple rank! At that time..."

Shi Jia's teeth chattered, his mind racing. Almost instantly, he came up with another "exit" idea.

So, the instant the dragon's pressure fluctuated, Shi Jia's body moved faster than his brain could process, and he darted toward the "exit"!
"Pfft~"

"Little bug? What are you doing?" The dragon felt uncomfortable, and in the next instant, its muscles squeezed inward, but its swollen belly made it a little difficult to mobilize its muscles. As a result, Shi Jia successfully squeezed into the dragon's intestines.

However, despite its enormous size, the dragon's intestines were only a limited size. With her mind regaining control, Shi Jia found herself in a dilemma.

Moreover, the suffocating and burning sensation became increasingly intense.

Actually, he should be thankful that he was inside the dragon's belly. If he were outside, let alone struggling, it would be difficult to even preserve his body. The dragon, having learned its lesson, would most likely have smashed him to pieces.

Inside the belly of the dragon, the dragon has limited means of use; after all, it can't exactly cast spells on its own body.
