Chapter 458: Chapter 424: Large Intestine

Li Cheng rubbed his palms together, "There are three options, one high-risk and two low-risk. Which one do you want to hear?"

"Uh..."

Listening to his serious tone and seeing the slight curl at the corner of his mouth, Binary Tree felt something ominous coming, "Let’s hear the high-risk option first."

"Alright."

Li Cheng pulled out a blackboard from the warehouse and in no time, sketched the passage structure and the skeletal outline of Meat Mountain L on it.

"Meat Mountain is currently in a curled, slightly tilted position blocking the passage. This area under the thigh bone, it’s just meat without any bones. We can use brute force to chisel through this meat,"

He drew a diagram on the blackboard, "As long as the speed is fast enough, theoretically, we can break through to the other side of the passage before Meat Mountain heals."

"This..."

Red Spider looked uncertain, "Can’t we just use the space transmission skill to jump directly over?"

"No."

Binary Tree shook his head, "Meat Mountain’s body inherently has a mysterious trait that blocks space abilities. Including the ability to phase through, which won’t work either."

To verify his words, he digitized his arm and gently pressed it against the skin of Meat Mountain.

In theory, a non-material arm still made contact with the thick skin.

"...As we saw just now, Meat Mountain heals faster than drinking a Medium Life Potion. If we can’t get through, we’ll be stuck, with the risk of being attacked by Meat Mountain."

Blood Lion Roar tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, asking Li Cheng, "What’s the other low-risk option?"

"I’m sure you’ve all read the romantic Chinese novel Journey to the West by Ming Dynasty’s Wu Cheng’en? The protagonist Sun Wukong often breaks through difficult monster encounters by getting eaten on purpose."

Li Cheng pulled out three full-cover swimsuits from the warehouse, "Polyester swimsuits coated with polytetrafluoroethylene, resistant to acids, alkalis, and all kinds of organic solvents. They also come with breathing masks and oxygen tanks."

"...Huh?"

The three Red Spider members froze in place, unable to react.

"Pretend to be eaten, then pass through Meat Mountain’s entire body and crawl out the back door."

Li Cheng noticed these Lv28 and Lv27 members were still clueless, and with some patience, he explained, "Meat Mountain retains the human skeletal structure, its internal organs shouldn’t be much different.

I’ve estimated, even the narrowest human intestine, with effort, you should be able to crawl through.

Eventually, you’ll reach the other side of the passage."

Li Cheng handed over the swimsuits, but the three Red Spiders showed no intention of taking them, their faces contorted with discomfort.

"Are you worried about the final metal gate you might not squeeze through? Don’t worry, I’ve thought about that, this is powder and three bottles of lubricant."

Li Cheng laughed heartily, placing three 20ml bottles of lubricant on the swimsuits, the packaging marked "For adults only."

"Good idea... Right."

Blood Lion Roar’s brain ached, "This tiny bottle of lubricant won’t do, no, it’s not about the lubricant working,

but why do we have to be eaten deliberately."

"Human intestines are about 8.5 meters long, considering Meat Mountain’s enlargement factor, its intestines could reach 80 to 100 meters, even longer."

Binary Tree’s face turned pale, "We’d have to crawl through the stomach contents so far..."

"Ugh, stop, stop, ugh."

Just imagining the scene made Red Spider’s stomach churn, recalling The Shawshank Redemption and those cave expedition videos online.

If we forcibly pass through, that’s one thing, failing and getting stuck in Meat Mountain’s intestines...

I’d rather shoot myself in the forehead now, at least dying wouldn’t be so suffocating.

Red Spider looked distressed, "And why are there only three swimsuits, where’s yours?"

"Your player nature is taken away now, not me. I can return to the real world anytime."

Li Cheng declared confidently, "As players, if a little poop and urine scared you away,

know that India has 4 million low-caste sewer cleaners, without masks, oxygen tanks, strong flashlights, or even gloves, jumping into septic tanks, sewers, cleaning clogs barehanded.

They earn only 2.5 to 4.6 US Dollars a day, with 300 drowning annually.

In the gamer world, there’s a saying: Never forget your roots. If Indians can do it, you can too.

If all else fails, we can tie a rope behind you; if you can’t crawl out, I’ll pull you back. The risk is pretty low."

You really have some nerve, standing and not feeling the pain!!!

All three players donned pained expressions,

Blood Lion Roar’s face twisted, internally battling, his hand subtly trembling, grabbed the polyester swimsuit, "Damn it, here goes nothing."

Those who reach Lv40 as Transcendents are ruthless to foes, more ruthless to themselves. Climbing over a mound of corpses, coveting the supreme throne.

Only those resolute in will, willing to destroy their past selves, have the right to journey to the end.

"..."

Red Spider exchanged glances with Binary Tree, silently took the swimsuit, retracting their six extra arms, applied powder, and donned the swimwear.

"Good luck. I believe in you."

Li Cheng gave a thumbs-up, while Gray Rain suddenly thought of something, raised his hand, and asked, "Didn’t you say there are three plans?

One high-risk, two low-risk.

What about the last one?"

"Oh, that one."

Li Cheng casually said, "This scene happens to be a French cuisine kitchen, with all the ingredients and utensils available. In a Script Task, this would be a bright hint.

Suggesting maybe we can make a bomb disguised as food, fed to Meat Mountain.

The internal explosion would be more potent than an external one. Meat Mountain’s defensive power rivals a Lv30 Close Combat player, but the organs might not."

You are...

The Red Spider trio froze in place while struggling with their swimsuits, particularly Blood Lion Roar.

He had already put on his swimsuit, prepared to jump off Meat Mountain’s head with a martyr spirit.

Red Spider, with floral shorts exposed, bit his lip, "...You know, Pifu brother, next time you have options, could you list them all first?"

"Didn’t you ask."

Li Cheng spread his hands, "So, what’s your choice..."

"Let’s try the bomb first."

Binary Tree, lacking any fondness for swimming in a sea of filth, decisively removed the swimsuit and rushed to the kitchen.

The other two also dashed quickly, grabbing assorted fruits and meats from the fridge, fearing Li Cheng would come up with another quirky idea.
