Chapter 185: Poking the hemorrhoids Part1

Tang Yue pushed herself and slowly kept inching forward. She needed to continuously keep moving because her venom was effective for only a short period of time.

The spot which she left behind would soon regain its former vigor and activity within the next couple of seconds without any delay.

So she couldn’t afford to rest or wait around even for a moment. She kept steadily moving forward.

However, unlike the upper section of the worm’s torso, the middle section was slightly more forgiving.

The acid here was stronger and more corrosive, the air around her also being extremely pungent, but the movement of the undulating cilia was marginally slower.

It seemed as if this section of the gut was more focused on digesting the food rather than moving it here and there.

It took her a few minutes, but Tang Yue also managed to somehow pull herself through the middle section.

Now she only had the last and final section left before reaching the gigantic worm hole, also known as the anus of the glow worm.

“Yuck!” Tang Yue coughed. The deeper she progressed the more disgusting the air felt.

The putrid smell and the acidic juices made it extremely intolerable for her.

But thankfully, the last section had almost very few cilia. Each cilium seemed to be much stronger and more forceful, but their numbers had reduced a lot.

So it was easier for Tang Yue to traverse.

On the other hand, the acid dripping here felt extremely deadly. 

Even the small gaseous fumes surfacing from the acid droplet in front of her corroded her rare-grade armor completely.

Tang Yue took a step back and retrieved a few more armors to quickly replace her damaged ones. 

After crossing half-way through the middle section, it was much more convenient for her to move around in her human form.

She only had a couple more left in her space pearl. 

All the mountains of gold she had spent on them was completely wasted here. What a pity! It hurt her liver.

But at least she was alive. So the snake sighed and kept moving forward.

After all, if she managed to ever get out of here alive, she could always rummage inside the mad man’s bedroom for a few more gold-loaded rings.

Tang Yue begrudgingly hissed as she slithered out of the pungent mess, skillfully avoiding the acid rain that was dripping around her.

After spending a few long minutes, probably the longest minutes of her life, she soon neared what seemed to be the back exit.

The flesh in this section was slightly more spongy and at least looked more sensitive and the pungent smell was at an all-time high.

Even the acid dripping glands were not present, and there were no spiraling cilia in the vicinity.

Tang Yue was quite sure that she had reached the end of her journey.

But weirdly enough there weren’t any outrightly visible open holes.

She seemed to be in a huge space that was completely surrounded by pink flesh.

“Hmmm… Now how does a worm excrete?” The snake pondered pensively.

Of course, it used the muscles on the wall to push the food waste out.

But then again, this muscle contraction had to be voluntarily initiated by the glow worm, which was currently very busy, fighting with the Crown Prince.

Sigh. Tang Yue quickly decided a course of action and retrieved a rare-grade sword from her space pearl.

She then frantically started poking the worm left and right, cutting it and slashing it.

Maybe the beast would get annoyed and irritated with whatever was there in its butt and spare a grunt to eject her out.

This was her original plan, but very soon, her emerald eyes glinted and the snake spotted something peculiar.

Once she slashed out the small lining that was covering the flesh, there was some sort of a plant sticking out of one of the numerous foldings in the flesh.

Huh? Tang Yue silently gaped.

“Isn’t this the same multi-colored plant that was growing on the banks of the lake?”

She quickly jumped up and grabbed the herb with her hands.

It looked like the beast had eaten a whole of these herbs just recently.

As she looked around, Tang Yue spotted several of these herbs, some half-digested even, but she cleaned out everything in sight.

When plundering high-grade treasure one cannot afford to be too picky. 

As long as some medicinal strength was present, she smoothly cleaned it out.

After putting away all the herbs in her sight, Tang Yue looked around to see if anything else was stuck.

Her emerald eyes couldn’t help but land repeatedly on the small bumps, boil-like bulging structures lining the butt of the worm.

“He He… even epic-grade beasts have hemorrhoids!” She grinned.

“Hmm… Are these really just big boils filled with puss?”

She was not too sure, but at certain angles, she could see a flash of light coming from inside.

Tang Yue snapped her fingers and called Little Plum who was hovering at the top and acting as a light source for her.

“Hmm… I wonder what is there inside.”

She made Little Plum buzz closer to the hemorrhoids and tried to peek inside.

Something metallic and shiny sparkled underneath. Tang Yue was sure of it.

[Dumb little snake. Poke that thing. There is good stuff inside.] The old man suddenly chimed in.

He had been silent until now, not wanting to disturb Tang Yue while she was maneuvering through the intestines with her full focus.

Tang Yue rolled her eyes in contempt. She was the one who did all the work and this damned old goat was calling her dumb.

“Fuck it.” She ignored him and raised her sword to slash down at the small protuberance with full force.

Luckily this area was not as hard as the other fleshy part of the beast and was easily sliced open.

But immediately, as soon as it was cut, blood and puss spewed out like lava from a volcano and sprayed everywhere.
