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

Zhou Wenshou stood at the entrance of the wooden foundation cave and chopped continuously for ten minutes. His arms were getting tired from swinging them, and the corpses of various small parasites gradually accumulated.

But parasites continued to crawl into the hole. Listening to the rustling and crawling sounds coming from the other side of the stone foundation wall, Zhou Wen knew that the other side of the wall must be full of parasites.

We can't keep guarding like this forever. The parasites keep coming, and we simply can't keep up. Besides, there might be some parasites that can damage the stone. These stone foundation walls might not be able to hold us back.

Looking at the stone foundation and walls behind him, Zhou Wen came up with a solution that would solve the problem once and for all.

There were five stone foundation walls in total. He retreated to one side, crawled under the wooden foundation under the second stone wall, and then removed the wooden foundation, completely sealing off the second stone foundation wall.

After ensuring his safety, Zhou Wen turned around and began to reclaim all the stone foundations of the remaining three walls, transforming them into a stone passage.

The stone passage is 10 meters long and 5 meters wide. The height of the passage connects directly to the top of the esophagus. The ground of the passage is paved with a layer of stone foundation, and all the excess gaps on both sides are blocked with stone foundation, leaving only a straight stone road in the middle.

"Phew~ Okay." Zhou Wen stood at the entrance of the stone passage, with a stone wall behind him blocking out a massive number of parasites.

Zhou Wen took a few deep breaths, then took off all his equipment and put it into the supply box. He then added the five free points from the Pioneer stat to his speed stat, and finally sent a private message to Jiang Haitao.

After doing all this, Zhou Wen placed the supply box at the end of the stone passage, then returned to the entrance, facing the stone wall that blocked the massive number of parasites.

With a wave of his arm, the two stone walls that were blocking the parasites turned into blue light and entered the system interface, being sent to Jiang Haitao via private message.

The instant the two walls disappeared, the parasites that had been climbing on the stone walls lost their support and fell down. Together with the parasites that kept flooding into the esophagus, it was like a wave rolling.

The instant the stone wall was removed, Zhou Wen turned and ran. He only glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, but his scalp tingled. He ran with all his might, like an arrow, rushing towards the end of the passage.

At this moment, a large number of parasites also swarmed into the stone passage and rushed towards Zhou Wen.

Zhou Wen's speed has now reached 21 points. He can cover a distance of ten meters in just one or two steps, pick up the supply box and open it directly.

The stones inside the supply box turned into blue light and formed stone pillars several meters in the air. Zhou Wen made seven of them in one go.

Although Zhou Wen and the parasite were seven or eight meters apart and could not be seen at all in the dark esophagus, the sound was enough: seven stone pillars fell from the sky and smashed into the parasites that were rushing into the stone passage below.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The dull thud of a stone block hitting a stone foundation echoed in the darkness.

Most parasites have soft bodies, so when hit by a 500-pound stone block falling from a great height, they have no chance to resist and are crushed into a pile of minced meat.

At this time, Jiang Haitao sent back the stone foundation that Zhou Wen had sent him via private message. Zhou Wen disassembled the stone foundation into stones and then continued to build stone piers high in the air.

In an instant, the stone blocks fell like raindrops, constantly smashing against the stone foundation. The parasites that swarmed into the stone passage couldn't even provide the slightest cushioning for the stone blocks before being smashed to pieces.

"Bang! bang...!" Heavy impact sounds echoed repeatedly in the dark esophagus.

After a while, the entire stone passage was filled with stone blocks. Zhou Wen waved his hand and gave all the stone blocks back to Jiang Haitao, clearing the stone passage and allowing the parasites to enter.

Upon hearing that parasites had entered the stone passage, Zhou Wen continued to build stone pillars high in the air, repeating this process until he could no longer hear the sound of parasites crawling inside the stone passage. Only then did he stop building stone pillars.

"It worked?" Zhou Wen wasn't really that confident, since he'd never done it this way before, but the results seemed pretty good.

Zhou Wen actually left himself an escape route, which was the wall he was currently close to. If too many parasites rushed in front of him, he could carve a path through the stone wall, retreat behind it, and use the wall to buy himself some time before creating another stone passage.

However, the rockfall plan was very successful. The parasites were no match for the weight of the falling rocks and were crushed to death in large numbers.

Only a few managed to reach Zhou Wen, but Zhou Wen was no pushover. He added five free points to his strength and unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks with his twin blades. The few parasites that charged at him were killed in just a few strikes.

Zhou Wen opened the supply box, took out the spiked armor, and quickly put it on through the equipment slot.

"The real show is about to begin." Zhou Wen removed the stone blocks piled up in the stone passage and walked towards the entrance of the stone passage.

Before he had taken two steps, Zhou Wen stepped onto a large patch of flesh and blood. He swept the light of his headlamp around and saw that the stone passage had become a bloody tunnel.

The closer Zhou Wen got to the entrance of the stone passage, the higher the pile of flesh and blood became. In the end, he had to wade through a path of flesh and mud more than a meter high to get out of the stone passage.

During this time, he also encountered many parasites that were not completely dead. Zhou Wen swiftly stabbed them and sent them to reunite with other parasites.

Finally, Zhou Wen entered the stomach wall space again, and looking around, he saw that there were still a large number of parasites on the stomach wall.

These parasites are non-aggressive; they simply lie on the stomach wall and suck blood. However, they are also the most numerous, and there's no way to get rid of them once and for all; Zhou Wen has to remove them one by one.

"How long will this cleanup take?" Zhou Wen looked at the thousands of parasites that still remained and felt a headache coming on.

But there was no other way but to take action and clean them up one by one.

The cleanup took all night. The parasites at the bottom were fine; Zhou Wen killed them with a single stroke. But the parasites at the top required building wooden foundations, which was very troublesome.

After the parasites were mostly cleared out, the stomach wall space became much darker. Zhou Wen had killed a large number of the solar coccidia with his dagger. Without the small solar coccidia providing light, they could only rely on the light emitted by the ten-meter-long solar coccidia at the very top.

What are these iron ore mines for?

Zhou Wen arrived at the innermost part of the stomach wall space, where there was a 30-meter-high iron ore mountain. He had seen it when he was cleaning the parasites, but the iron ore was not very attractive to him, so he continued cleaning the parasites first.

Now that the parasites have been mostly cleared out, only the large coccidioidomycete remains. Zhou Wen still needs it for lighting, so he didn't kill it. He wanted to first see what this iron mine was for.

The location of this iron ore is strange; it happens to block the digester. Since Zhou Wen is here, he definitely needs to clean it up. Besides, he hasn't encountered anything good yet, so he can't have come all this way to clean out the parasites for nothing.

Although Zhou Wen didn't care much about the iron ore, he had no choice but to take it back without any other benefits.

"Boom! Boom!"

Just as Zhou Wen was about to start digging the iron ore, the entire iron ore suddenly shook, and then a huge worm with metallic skin and a body more than two meters thick crawled out of the iron ore.

"Fuck!"
