Giant Fish Survival: I Can Hear the Giant Fish's Heart

The white core tree also seemed to have run out of energy, ceasing the reproduction of floating bubble worms. Meanwhile, the dozen or so triangular fireflies that had been hovering above it glowed red and scattered, plunging headlong into the bubble pile.

"boom!"

Almost simultaneously, all the floating bubble worms were detonated, and a fireball with a diameter of 20 meters rose within the cloud-like stomach wall space.

The terrifying power instantly destroyed the two layers of stone foundation outside the cube-shaped stone house. Cracks appeared in the innermost stone foundation, the wooden foundation supporting the stone roof was shattered, and the stone foundation collapsed.

With a thought, Zhou Wen sent the fallen stone foundation to Jiang Haitao, then took out the giant bone shield and placed it on top, allowing the still-burning flames outside to sweep in.

Within a three-meter space, the seawater above was scorched by flames, and the temperature kept rising. Zhou Wen was at the very bottom, like a frog that could be boiled at any moment.

Fortunately, the flames from the explosion could not be sustained for long. Just as the seawater was about to boil, the flames disappeared completely. Zhou Wen instantly retracted the stone wall that was now only one layer deep. Without the stone wall to restrain it, the seawater burst out in all directions.

Zhou Wen's black crystal armor was emitting white smoke. After confirming that there was no danger around, he immediately took off the black crystal armor, which was scalding hot from being boiled, and put on a shrimp-head heavy armor.

The moment Zhou Wen changed his equipment, you could see that his skin was already red from the heat, just like a steamed crab.

"Good heavens, I almost got cooked." The shockwave from the explosion didn't have much of an effect on Zhou Wen because of the large amount of fat in the shieldfish, but the high temperature almost killed him.

If it weren't for his superior physique and the fact that his black crystal armor could insulate him from certain temperatures, he would have been cooked by now.

After letting the black crystal armor cool outside, Zhou Wen, wearing the shrimp-head heavy armor, looked at the two nests. Both nests had also been affected by the flames from the earlier explosion; the surface of the white core tree was charred black, and the suspended triangular firefly nests were in the same condition.

These two nests were no longer able to fight back. Zhou Wen stepped forward and with a single stroke, he cut the one-meter-thick white core tree in half.

Then Zhou Wen discovered that there were a large number of tentacles inside the white core tree. These tentacles took root in the stomach wall of the Cloud Eater Leviathan through their roots, and reproduced by absorbing the energy of the Cloud Eater Leviathan.

Zhou Wen cut off the roots of the white core tree and pulled out the tentacles that had invaded the stomach wall of the Cloud Eater Leviathan.

After doing all this, a large amount of white gas floated out of the white core tree. Zhou Wen was very familiar with this white gas, so he reached out and collected it. The large amount of white gas condensed into floating factors in his hand.

[Ding! You have obtained 100 levitation factors.]

“Great!” Zhou Wen was overjoyed. The levitation factor was so useful. The more he collected, the better. In the future, he could use the levitation factor to reduce the weight of any heavy equipment.

After storing the 100 levitation factors in the Deep Blue Treasure Chest, Zhou Wen looked at the Triangular Firefly Nest, which was suspended 11 meters in the air.

Because too many fireflies had been consumed outside, the nest could no longer reproduce a large number of fireflies. Zhou Wen used the wooden foundation as a stepping stone to reach the side of the nest.

Because the nest was too large and suspended in the air, Zhou Wen could only use his steel longsword to slice it piece by piece, like slicing potatoes. The cut pieces lost their buoyancy and fell to the ground.

Sometimes a firefly would fly out of the nest and attack Zhou Wen, but it was only a dying struggle.

"Clap clap clap!"

As Zhou Wen made his cut, a large number of white insect eggs fell from the nest, hitting the ground with a crackling sound. Each white insect egg exploded into sparks, like burning iron filings falling to the ground after a forging process.

Another cut was made, and the nest was now close to its center. A bright red firefly, about the size of a watermelon, fell from the center.

In the center of the nest was a white sphere the size of a bowling ball. The entire nest seemed to be connected to this white sphere. Zhou Wen reached out his hand, and the white sphere immediately disintegrated into the size of a glass marble.

[Ding! You have obtained 100 levitation factors.]

Without the white sphere, the remaining half of the nest fell directly from the sky and shattered on the ground.

Zhou Wen put away the wooden foundation and returned to the ground, where he found that the large, fiery red triangular firefly was still alive.

This bright red firefly is not only large, but also has legs that allow it to move on the ground. However, it doesn't seem to be able to fly. After falling from its nest, it tried to escape using its legs, but its bulky body made it very slow.

"This should be the queen of the Triangular Firefly. I wonder if it will explode if I kill it." Zhou Wen used his steel longsword to cut the fleeing queen in half with one stroke, and then quickly moved away.

But Zhou Wen's worries were unnecessary. The insect queen's corpse did not explode; it simply turned from red to white very quickly.

Zhou Wen carefully stepped forward to examine it and found an insect egg in the insect mother's corpse. However, this insect egg was different from the other insect eggs; it was fiery red. As he picked it up, a notification sound appeared in his mind.

[Ding! Obtained 1 Triangular Firefly Queen Egg.]

"Will I be able to control this once it's grown up?"

Zhou Wen felt it was going to be tough. After so many encounters, although the Triangle Firefly had a certain level of intelligence, it certainly wouldn't be as affectionate as the Little Diamond Sea Serpent. And after it hatched, it might even attack him.

However, fireflies pose little threat to him; you can try raising them, and if it doesn't work, just kill them.

With both insect hives destroyed and the Black Crystal Armor cooled down, Zhou Wen put the Black Crystal Armor back on and left the cloudless space.

Once back into the clouds, Zhou Wen followed the route in his mind and returned to his esophagus. After resting for a while and eating something, he entered the clouds again, this time without going deep inside.

After clearing out the nests of the Triangular Sparkling Worms and Floating Bubble Worms, there was nothing left in the Cloud Stomach Wall Space that could threaten Zhou Wen. He changed into the lightweight Bladefin Yellow Ribbonfish Scale Armor and began to systematically clean out the parasites.

Five hours later, Zhou Wen had basically cleaned up the entire cloud-shrouded stomach wall space, killed 30 floating cloud white worms, and obtained 30 levitation factors. He did not encounter any more triangular star fire worms during this time. He also cleared out all the floating bubble worms that were drifting outside, leaving only one to control the end time of the worm removal.

At this moment, Zhou Wen arrived at the innermost part of the entire cloud-shrouded stomach wall space. Lightning flashed in the clouds ahead. He had seen it during his previous exploration, but he did not approach it. After all, electricity is something that armor without an insulating layer is useless, no matter how tough it is.

The parasites have been mostly cleared out, but he hasn't seen the supply crate specifically for the Cloud Eater Leviathan yet; it can only be found in this cloud of shimmering electricity.

There was no other way; Zhou Wen couldn't leave empty-handed after this pest control effort. So, he mustered his courage and ventured into the lightning-streaked clouds to investigate.
