Chapter 80: Strange Old Man (Seeking 5-star review)

...

Gol and Kurokus were finally eaten by the island-eating monster as they wished.

Entering the goldfish's huge mouth and watching the two rows of huge teeth gradually closing behind him, Gel's heartbeat quickened and his adrenaline surged.

Because he has the ability of prophecy and is always seeking stability, he always wants to control the overall situation when encountering any problem. He makes plans before taking action and cannot let the development of the situation go beyond his control. That is why, after being in this world for so long, this is the first time that Gel has felt the excitement brought by fantasy adventure!

The time when we went upstream up Upside Down Mountain didn't count, because there was no unknown. We were just worried about whether Weibull had enough energy.

"Boom!"

The two rows of big teeth collided with each other, making a loud noise.

Gel only felt the light dim, and then the raft under him began to move towards deeper waters following the turbulent sea water.

"Captain, hold on tight, it's not over yet, it's about to enter the esophagus!"

The experienced Kurokas reminded again.

The passage gradually narrowed on both sides, but it was still a smooth road for Gel's small raft.

The inner walls on both sides look as hard as rocks and are wrinkled, with a thick layer of mucous membrane attached to them. These are the characteristics of the esophagus of fish, which can expand the caliber of the esophagus and make it easier to swallow larger food.

At first, Gel felt like a train entering a tunnel, which was relatively smooth, but he didn't expect it to suddenly turn into a roller coaster.

"Ahhh!"

The screams of the two echoed in the body of the esophagus monster.

Gel screamed at the top of his lungs. This unprotected roller coaster was so thrilling. It was really not easy to have the chance to experience it once and to be able to survive it.

"boom!"

The raft finally rushed out of the long tunnel, used inertia to draw a perfect parabola in the air, and then fell into a calm lake.

The raft, which was not particularly sturdy to begin with, had already fallen apart. Gel and Kurokas each stood on a piece of driftwood. The water around them was filled with a thin mist. The two men faced each other, giving a feeling of being in a martial arts movie.

Gel looked up at the surroundings and spoke first:

"Kurokas, why shouldn't the inside of this monster be completely dark? It's so bright here. How strange."

Kurokas thought for a moment and shook his head.

"I'm not sure about this. Maybe the cells in these animals' bodies glow. There's nothing strange about that. I discovered this when I entered Lab's stomach. The bodies of these large animals are all bright."

"Okay, what you said makes sense. Let's go. There's a small island over there. Let's go to the island first."

Gel was no longer hesitant about it. In fact, the reason he could accept it more was of course because if the cartoonist drew nothing in the complete blackness and just filled in a few dialog boxes, he would probably be beaten to death.

Gel began to use Moon Steps to rush towards an island in the center of the lake.

Kurokas didn't care at all. He just jumped into the water and started swimming.

"Hey, hey, hey, Kurokas, aren't you afraid that this isn't sea water but corrosive and smelly stomach acid?"

After the two of them got ashore at the same time, Gel looked at Kurokas who walked out of the water wetly and asked.

Kurokas took off his vest, twisted it, put it back on and said with a smile:

"It's okay. I've tried it. Stomach acid really can't hurt me. The most it can do is help me get rid of leg hair."

Gel thought, if you can remove leg hair, then you can also remove hair all over your body...

Without further asking the old pervert's question, Gel began to look at the small island in the middle of the lake, which might have survived due to the esophageal monster's indigestion.

The island is not big, and looks like a small round hill. There are many plants growing on the higher places, and it is lush and green. From a distance, you can see a few birds and some unknown insects hovering on the tops of the trees.

Gel just felt it was very magical. You know, this is in the belly of a big goldfish. If you don’t know, you would think it is a paradise.

There are circles of ship wreckage piled up around the island. These ships are very old. Some of them are so old that you can tell they are not from this century just by looking at their shapes.

"Ahem! Let's split up and find all the valuable things. We must take everything away without leaving anything behind! Hehehe!"

Seeing that Captain Gel's eyes had turned into the shape of two copper coins, Kurokas kindly reminded him:

"Captain, have you forgotten that our main purpose is to find the record pointer?"

Geer was stunned at first, then smiled awkwardly and said:

"Haha, how is that possible? How could I forget such an important thing? I am a person who puts the overall situation first."

"Alright, alright, we have to act quickly. This place can't always be so peaceful and tranquil. Look at the corrosion marks on these rocks. There should be a wave of stomach acid coming here every once in a while. By then, these places will be flooded, and it will be difficult for us to search anymore."

Kurokus analyzed while rubbing his beard.

"Okay, let's get started! Split up, I'll go this way, you go that way! We'll meet at the other end after we've searched a circle."

"Ok!"

After saying this, the two of them immediately started to act.

Seeing a round-bottomed sailboat, which looked like a merchant ship in terms of size and decoration, Gel walked forward and was about to go on board to take a look. However, as soon as he stepped on the deck, the entire deck collapsed, causing Gel to almost fall.

These ships are very old and have been basically corroded after being washed countless times by corrosive liquids. The outer layer of wood will turn into powder instantly with just a little external force.

Gel carefully made a hole in the side of the boat, mainly to avoid getting dust everywhere.

When he walked into the cabin, he saw boxes of goods filling the room. Many of the boxes, along with the goods with an expiration date, had already rotted away, leaving only gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, copper, aluminum products and other non-corrosive items piled together in a mess. This saved Gel the time of searching for them himself.

Gel didn't need to worry about carrying gold, silver, treasures, and ceramic antiques. He could just throw them all into the storage space.

After searching for several ships in a row, Gel gained a lot, but he did not find any trace of the recording pointer.

"Hey! Kid! Even if you're picking up junk, you have to follow the first come first served rule. This is my territory!"

Just as Gur stepped onto this relatively new-looking pirate ship, an old voice suddenly came to his ears.

Gel looked in the direction of the voice and saw a little old man with frosty white hair, eyebrows and beard walking out of the cabin. The old man was only about 1.2 meters tall, but his eyebrows and beard were two meters long, so that his eyebrows and beard dragged on the ground when he walked.
