Chapter 129: Courting Death (3)

Chapter 129 – Courting Death (3)

“How about we have a tour around the inside of a whale’s stomach?” Chen Yu asked as he stared at the distant blue whale.

[How did you even come up with such an idea?!]

[Now that UP has the protective suit, he’s starting to fearlessly court death.]

[Courting death. +1]

[If you don’t turn into poop, it means the protective suit is incredible!]

[Blue whales have a small throat. You won’t get through it.]

[Host, find an active volcano, and jump into it. Let us expand our worldview.]

“Personally, I think it’s not a bad idea to take a look inside. With how big its mouth is, getting swallowed by it must be awesome…’

After saying so, Chen Yu dived into the water without hesitation.

Hiss… Hiss…

The blue flames coming out of the engine exceeded 4,000℃. The instant it came into contact with the seawater, a trail of bubbles immediately appeared behind Chen Yu.

While rapidly approaching the blue whale, Chen Yu faced the camera and commented, “Gururu, guruguru?

“Guru?”

Frowning, Chen Yu shot out of the water and removed his left glove. After making some adjustments on his watch, he wore back his glove and dove back into the water.

“Mhm, that’s better. I’ve set the sound receiver to transmit my voice to my watch. That way, everyone in the livestream can hear what I’m saying underwater.

“As I was saying, this is just an extra event for the livestream. I don’t intend to waste too much time here. We’ll wait for 10 minutes. If the whale doesn’t open its mouth during that time, I’ll withdraw.”

“Mmm…”

Shortly after Chen Yu was done speaking, the blue whale suddenly widened its mouth and devoured the swarm of krill before it.

“A chance!”

Reacting quickly, Chen Yu accelerated toward the blue whale and cut off the plasma engine just before reaching it. And under the gaze of over 800,000 viewers, the blue whale devoured both Chen Yu and the cooked krill around him.

[I can’t believe what I’m seeing right now…]

[Madman.]

[Madman. +1]

[You’re too damned crazy.]

[Shocking news: A certain livestreamer earns millions a day by getting eaten live.]

[Are you able to get out?]

[Sister-in-law! I’m inside your stomach!]

[My scalp went numb from watching this…]

A few seconds later, the blue whale closed its mouth, and the world around Chen Yu plunged into darkness.

Dragged by the water current, Chen Yu found the world around him spinning, his body repeatedly slamming against the interior of the whale’s mouth. Only after he had tightly grabbed onto a piece of meat with both hands did he stabilize himself.

Immediately, he turned on his helmet’s searchlight and observed his surroundings. Afterward, he gestured a “6” to the camera.

[Awesome!]

[66666.]

[6…]

[UP, stop showing off.]

[Can someone come save this lunatic?]

[696969…]

“After the plasma engine is turned off, the protective suit’s special material will rapidly cool down. The surrounding seawater will also help with heat dissipation, so everyone doesn’t need to worry about the suit bringing harm to the whale.”

After saying so, Chen Yu started using the muscles in the whale’s mouth as footholds to climb toward the throat.

“This…um.”

While standing on the whale’s meaty tongue, Chen Yu stretched his hand into the whale’s throat, which was no more than 30 centimeters in diameter, and fell silent.

“The whale’s throat is actually so small? Aside from noodles, what else could it possibly eat?”

Chen Yu reached out to grab a handful of live krill that were struggling in the whale’s meaty folds and tossed them into the whale’s throat. Afterward, he turned around and climbed back to where he came from.

“As everyone can see, despite my wishes, the whale’s throat is unexpectedly small. I have no choice but to cancel our tour of the whale’s stomach.”

When the blue whale eventually opened its mouth again to devour another swarm of krill, Chen Yu swiftly accelerated and slipped out along the whale’s “lips.”

“Mmmm—”

Accompanied by the blue whale’s humming, the massive figure gradually disappeared from Chen Yu’s and the audience’s view.

“The ocean truly is mystifying. It is actually capable of giving birth to such a huge mammal,” Chen Yu commented, sighing. “What’s even more mystifying is that its throat is only 30 centimeters wide…”

[Hahaha.]

[No comment.]

[The water pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is terrifying. UP, don’t get yourself killed.]

[Will we get to see SpongeBob?]

“Let’s not waste any more time. I’ll accelerate straight into the deepest part of the trench and see the world there.”

Hiss… Hiss…

Chen Yu restarted the plasma engine, and under an even stronger thrust, he plunged straight to the bottom of the ocean. In the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared into the darkness of the ocean.

At the same time, the five livestream rooms became flooded with bullet comments. The majority of the spectating audience also unconsciously held their breaths as they stared at their screens’ growing darkness.

Two thousand meters.

Three thousand meters.

Four thousand meters…

When Chen Yu dove down to a depth of 5,000 meters, he could finally see his goal.

The thing before him was a slope that seemingly stretched infinitely downwards. Meanwhile, at the end of this slope was none other than the Mariana Trench’s deepest part.

“According to the data the protective suit provided, I’m currently 5,133 meters below sea level. The water pressure here is already at a terrifying level. If I remove any part of my protective suit now, seawater would flood into the suit and crush me into meat paste within milliseco- Crap!”

Before Chen Yu could finish his narration, a gigantic white figure suddenly flashed before his eyes and nearly scaring him into cardiac arrest.

The massive figure belonged to a strange creature with a length exceeding one meter. Its whole body was translucent, and its mouth section was densely packed with sharp teeth. It also had a pair of jet-black eyeballs that frequently turned in various directions. Overall, the creature had an appearance that made one subconsciously feel disgusted.

Shining the searchlight onto the creature, Chen Yu could even see the pink organs inside the creature’s body…

[Crap!]

[Crap!]

[Why did you shout so loudly for?! You scared the heck out of me…]

[What is this abomination?]

[Thanks, UP. I now have ideas for my graduation thesis.]

[Greetings, host. I’m the representative of America’s Tyler Studio. Can we use your video material in our movie? I’ve already sent you a private message for further discussions.]

[My curiosity…]

After the strange fish made a circle around Chen Yu, it gracefully swam away.

“Hu…”

Chen Yu breathed out a deep sigh of relief as he watched the strange fish’s disappearing figure. He then continued accelerating down the slope…

The deep sea was dark, cold, and silent.

Fortunately, the high-intensity water pressure did not put too much of a burden on the protective suit.

This proved that in the distant 24th century, humans had already thoroughly conquered the deep seas. They might have even constructed buildings on the seabed to collect the abundant resources available there.

As Chen Yu continued diving deeper, the types of fish his searchlight illuminated became increasingly stranger.

Of these strange fishes, some were known to Chen Yu. For example, there was the soft and translucent glass octopus and the ferocious-looking lanternfish…

However, there were also fishes that even the livestream’s 800,000 viewers had no knowledge of whatsoever.

At this time, numerous deep-sea researchers also joined the livestream and started recording Chen Yu’s findings…

When Chen Yu dove to a depth of 8,400 meters, the protective suit’s temperature sensor started giving off warnings.

“The temperature of the seawater here has increased. It is at least 200 degrees Celsius. However, due to the water pressure, the water isn’t boiling. There is definitely a volcano down there.”

Chen Yu excitedly rubbed his palms together in this situation. He immediately accelerated his dive, and within half a minute of following the faint red glow he saw, he located a volcanic crack.

Without the slightest bit of hesitation, Chen Yu grabbed onto the crack and forcefully pried it open. He then reached out to touch the scorching magma found within the crack.

He had fully demonstrated how fearless humans could become when under the protection of impunity…

After stirring the magma for some time, Chen Yu further widened the crack and jumped in. While laying in the magma, he earnestly said, “Magma is unexpectedly soft and comfortable to the touch. I doubt anyone watching has ever tested this before. However, I have to advise everyone against trying this.”

The audience: “…”
