Chapter 87 Where is the Sacred Relic?
Chiwen was moved by Lin Zhifeng's words, but he still had to give away the sacred object.
Otherwise, not only would Longquan and the other descendants of the dragon be difficult to deal with, but they would also be punished—this person has always liked to swallow things indiscriminately since childhood, and has suffered a lot of domestic violence for it.
Whether it's women's singles or mixed doubles depends entirely on the value or danger of what he swallows.
Based on his extensive past experience, this time it's well worth a mixed doubles match.
Therefore, he had to retrieve the sacred object and hand it over to these people before the matter was exposed.
He knew, of course, that these people in front of him couldn't contact his parents no matter what.
But do you think that will put Chiwen at ease?
It can't be!
None of his eight older brothers were pushovers; they loved watching him get punished, seeing him beaten until he was crawling on the ground, crying and begging for his parents.
Those bastards will definitely not let this opportunity pass them by!
Chiwen shed bitter tears for his fake brotherhood.
Longquan, Lin Zhifeng, and the others, unaware of his thoughts, were now in a panic, fearing that he would renege on his debt.
Lin Zhifeng cautiously continued, "Senior, besides using X, is there any other way to retrieve this sacred object?"
He then explained, "We didn't mean to pressure or threaten you, we were just asking. We hope to find a solution that satisfies both parties, and of course, the most important thing is not to harm your health."
Longquan gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, it's okay. Even if there's really no other way but to use the kind that comes out by X, we can accept it."
Speaking of this, it's not that Longquan and the others are lying.
Humans always despise their own kind; yet, it seems that humans only despise their own kind.
For example, you have a large diamond ring that your best friend accidentally swallows. After the ring has traveled through his digestive system for a day (assuming he's miraculously unharmed), he comes back to return it to you. You'd probably vomit your bile. You absolutely cannot keep the ring; he has to pay you back!
If a kitten or a big dog does the same thing, you'll definitely be disgusted, but if you disinfect and clean it properly, you can continue wearing it.
That's how they discriminate!
Even if this Chiwen in front of me is a divine beast, it is still a beast!
This was somewhat acceptable to most people.
Especially the Chiwen, despite being a dragon's head, is neither majestic nor intimidating. On the contrary, look at its two big, blinking eyes—it's quite cute!
Most importantly, it is the body of a fish.
Anyone who's ever eaten live fish knows what I mean.
That fish offal stew with tofu smells amazing!
Chiwen thought for a moment and said, "I swallowed it yesterday. Based on past experience, it should be expelled naturally by tomorrow... or at the latest the day after tomorrow."
At this point, he became unusually embarrassed: "You can't wait that long, right?"
Everyone: "..."
Do you really think that our inability to accept it is just a matter of time?
Chiwen said, "Next, I will make my body transparent. You all come and find out where it is now. Once we know its approximate location, we can decide what to do next."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Okay!"
Chiwen did not delay any longer and began to cast a spell.
Before long, the Chiwen's body began to change, starting with its tail. First, its color lightened, then gradually turned white, and finally, except for its large dragon head, its entire body became transparent.
After he became transparent, everyone was a bit puzzled when they looked at his body: What kind of pica patient was this guy? How come his stomach and intestines contained all sorts of things, but no food in the usual sense?
Chiwen plopped down on its back and said, "Come on! Let's all look for it together!"
Lin Zhifeng asked, "Senior, how big is that sacred object, and what color is it?"
Chiwen said, "Similar to the ones you have, about the size of a fist, black with a red glow. They should be easy to find."
Everyone: "..."
Look at yourself, you have all sorts of things in your belly, it's really hard to find something like that, right?
But no matter how hard it is to find, we still have to find it, right? We've already taken 9,999 steps in the Long March, we can't give up on this last step.
Lin Zhifeng said, "Senior, if that's the case, then I'll have to offend you." After saying that, he stepped forward first, just to get a better look.
The others also crowded around to take a closer look.
The Chiwen was five or six meters tall when standing, and two or three meters tall when lying down. Therefore, it was a bit difficult for people to see its frontal position.
Lin Zhifeng said, "Senior, would you mind if I flew up to your stomach to take a look?"
Chiwen lay still and casually said, "Okay, okay! But be careful not to hit me, I'm afraid of getting hurt!"
Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: You've been swallowing things indiscriminately since you were a child, you must have been beaten a lot. You still haven't changed your bad habits, how can you be afraid of pain?
However, he didn't dare to criticize Chiwen to her face, so he just cupped his hands and said, "In that case, please bear with me, senior!"
After he finished speaking, he, Ding Mo, and several guards from Longquan flew into the air to take a look from above.
Skipping over the long and arduous search process, when everyone was nearly blind, they finally found it near the cardia at the bottom of the stomach.
If it weren't for the fact that the dragon scales could glow, and given that it was currently encased in stomach acid and had some unidentified objects stuck to it, it would have been very difficult to spot.
Lin Zhifeng told Chiwen the location of the dragon scale, and Chiwen suddenly realized, "No wonder I started feeling uncomfortable in my stomach yesterday, it was stuck there?"
Lin Zhifeng thought to himself: With your way of treating people like this, even a stomach made of iron can't take it and will feel uncomfortable.
"Senior, now that we know the approximate location of the dragon scale, how do we remove it?" Lin Zhifeng asked.
Chiwen said with difficulty, "It's not easy to deal with this location! In my experience, it will take several days of pain before it goes down to the small intestine."
Everyone thought to themselves: So you're still planning to poop it out, right?
Lin Zhifeng said, "Senior, let's not wait a few more days! First, we're in a hurry; second, you're not feeling well yourself, are you? Can we think of another way?"
Chiwen said, "How about one of you sacrifices yourself, and I'll swallow him? Tie a rope around your waist, let him go down my esophagus into my stomach, then swim to the cardia and find the dragon scales. Finally, you can pull him up, and that'll be the end of it, right?"
Nobody wants to make this sacrifice!
Unless someone with an indestructible body like Sun Wukong, anyone else who enters his stomach would be corroded and digested by the stomach acid in no time.
We won't get the sacred object, but we'll end up giving the Chiwen a treat.
Lin Zhifeng said awkwardly, "Senior, you think too highly of us. We are just mortals and cannot withstand such treatment."
Chiwen said helplessly, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Lin Zhifeng certainly wanted to cut open your stomach, but he didn't dare.
"How about we try a different approach?" Lin Zhifeng suggested tentatively. "This method might be a little uncomfortable, but it's definitely not fatal (no one or beast will die from it)."
Chiwen said, "Then tell me about it."
Lin Zhifeng said, "The solution is simple. Since the dragon scales are still in your stomach, how about we induce vomiting?"
Chiwen said, "How do you rush me? Is one of you going to try and choke me?"
Lin Zhifeng said, "No, no!"
He truly meant it when he said he dared not—after all, nobody wants to become a one-armed hero because of it.
“I have a thousand-year-old spiritual herb here called mint, which was originally given to pets to help them shed hairballs. Although it is not poisonous, it is cold in nature and very irritating to the stomach. After a pet takes it, it will experience stomach cramps and then vomit all the contents of its stomach. I wonder if you could trouble you to give it a try?” Lin Zhifeng took out the mint and presented it with both hands.
Chiwen said, "Alright, it's nothing for me to suffer a little."
Everyone thought to themselves: "Then you deserve it, don't you?"
But everyone hypocritically bowed in unison and said, "Thank you for your hard work, senior!"
"Please, senior!"
Chiwen took the mint and smelled it: a cool, refreshing scent. Before even swallowing it, Chiwen felt a tightness in his stomach.
He's been eating things since he was a child, what hasn't he eaten? He's swallowed bricks, tiles, even fire, but he doesn't like the taste of mint.
Helpless, he closed his eyes and threw the mint down his large throat.
Not long after the mint was swallowed, Chiwen said, "You guys go wait in the stairwell, there might be a lot of vomit later."
