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

Zhou Wen began to urgently and fiercely cut the anchor worm's body. Perhaps the anchor worm was too badly injured, because after only two cuts, the anchor worm released Zhou Wen's head.

Zhou Wen was overjoyed. His will to survive made him throw away the fishbone blade in his hand, and then he vigorously flapped his hands, slowly raising his body to the surface of the water.

"Haa~ Hoa~ Haa~ Hoa~." Zhou Wen frantically inhaled the oxygen in his stomach cavity, his movements so exaggerated that his body contracted and expanded with each breath.

But before Zhou Wen could take a few breaths, the creature that had been gripping his legs suddenly dragged him back into the water.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

Caught off guard, Zhou Wen was dragged into the water and swallowed several mouthfuls of seawater. The water in his lungs made him extremely uncomfortable. He struggled desperately to get out of the water by flapping his arms, but he was dragged back into the water as soon as he coughed once.

Zhou Wen bobbed up and down in the water, constantly flapping his arms to keep himself afloat. Fortunately, the creature gripping Zhou Wen's thighs didn't seem to be very strong and couldn't drag him for long. It would stop for a while after dragging him underwater for a distance.

This gave Zhou Wen a chance to catch his breath, and he also realized that what was clamping down on his thigh was probably an anchor worm.

Knowing this, Zhou Wen breathed a slight sigh of relief. Now, as long as the other anchor worm doesn't attack him, he can hold out against the anchor worm that's clamping his thigh for a while. Once the tide recedes, it will be time for him to counterattack.

In fact, with his current spiked armor, the anchor worms couldn't hurt him at all. It wasn't that the armor was particularly hard, but rather that it was covered in spikes, which effectively restrained the anchor worms.

But underwater, unable to breathe, he was truly helpless.

At this moment, the water level began to slowly drop, and Zhou Wen also figured out the pulling rhythm of the anchor worm that was pulling his thigh. Just as the anchor worm was about to drag him into the water, he held his breath in advance, and when the anchor worm ran out of strength, he immediately surfaced to exhale.

As the water level dropped, the anchor worm's pulling force weakened, and without the water's support, the anchor worm could no longer drag Zhou Wen.

Having been locked in a stalemate with Zhou Wen in the water for quite some time, it was now too exhausted to move, but its anchor head and chelicerae still clung tightly to Zhou Wen's thigh.

Zhou Wen shone his headlamp on his thigh and found that the anchor worm clamping onto his thigh was indeed having its mouthparts blocked by the spikes on its leg armor, which put him completely at ease.

Knowing that his safety was guaranteed, an endless feeling of exhaustion instantly overwhelmed him. His body slumped to the ground as if he had suddenly lost all strength, and he was unable to get up for a moment.

He had been floundering in the water for quite some time, wearing heavy spiked armor. If it weren't for the life-or-death situation that triggered his adrenaline, he wouldn't have been able to move at all.

Now that the deadly threat of drowning was gone, he felt his muscles and bones groaning, and a strong drowsiness washed over him. His eyelids felt incredibly heavy, and he desperately wanted to sleep.

"Slap!" A loud slap echoed throughout the stomach cavity. Zhou Wen took off his spiked helmet and slapped himself hard, the blow hurting a lot.

After slapping him, the burning pain on his face made Zhou Wen a little more alert. He quickly put his spiked helmet back on, then turned his headlamp to look for the anchor worm he had slashed.

What Zhou Wen saw completely jolted him awake, for the injured anchor worm was lying on the ground, sucking the blood of the phallus Leviathan.

"Fuck!"

Zhou Wen cried out in surprise, and with a burst of strength he didn't know he had, he suddenly got up from the ground, found the fishbone knife he had thrown away when he was drowning, and killed the anchor worm on his leg in a few strokes.

Then he quickly approached the wounded, blood-sucking anchor worm, slashed it several times, and finally killed the blood-sucking anchor worm.

“The sun-damp coccidia are small, so it’s one thing for them to suck a little blood, but you’re so big, if you keep sucking blood, what will become of you?” Zhou Wen said viciously, pointing his fishbone knife at the head of the anchor worm whose body had been cut off.

Then, Zhou Wen carefully pried off the anchor chelicerae that were attached to the stomach wall. Fortunately, the small barbs on the anchor chelicerae did not cause much damage to the stomach wall, leaving only some shallow wounds, which would not cause too much damage to the stomach of the transformed Leviathan.

Just as Zhou Wen was relieved, he saw blood seeping from his stomach. This was clearly not the blood of the anchor worm. He removed the entire head of the anchor worm, and a round blood hole the size of a tennis ball appeared on the stomach wall.

"Go to hell!" Zhou Wen angrily kicked the anchor worm's head aside. Judging from the size of the blood hole, it was clearly caused by the anchor worm's round mouthparts.

"How do I stop the bleeding?" Zhou Wen looked at the circular wound that was still bleeding and was a little anxious. The importance of the Leviathan transformation to him goes without saying, and he absolutely could not afford any problems.

But he doesn't have any tools to stop the bleeding, and medical bandages won't be able to hold the stomach wall in place.

"That's it! Sun-damp coccidia!"

Suddenly, Zhou Wen had a flash of inspiration and thought of using a solar coccidia to stop the bleeding. So he quickly took off his spiked breastplate, climbed onto the wooden platform, and grabbed a solar coccidia.

"I hope it works." Zhou Wen placed the Sunlight Coccidia on the blood hole, and then the Sunlight Coccidia's four small tentacles tightly adhered to the stomach wall next to it, sealing the blood hole shut.

"Success!" Zhou Wen was overjoyed. Although the wound was nothing to the enormous Leviathan, since Zhou Wen lived in its stomach and had a way to stop the bleeding, he naturally had to help treat it.

With all the crises resolved, the overwhelming fatigue returned, but he still couldn't rest, because the feeding phase of transforming into Leviathan was not yet over.

Zhou Wen used his last bit of strength to carry the spiked breastplate onto the wooden platform and put it on. No matter what, he had to wear protective gear to protect his body.

Although this spiked armor is heavy, its importance is self-evident, considering that Zhou Wen was unharmed and even killed the two anchor worms when they attacked him.

Zhou Wen also made a decision: while transforming into Leviathan to feed, he would no longer needlessly observe the water's surface.

After nearly drowning, Zhou Wen suddenly realized that it was completely unnecessary for him to observe the movement on the water's surface.

During the time it took for the seawater to enter and recede from his stomach, he could have simply hidden away and waited for the seawater to recede before observing whether any creatures had entered his stomach.

In this way, without seawater, even if Zhou Wen is attacked by a creature, he won't be dragged into the seawater and struggle there.
