Yang Yi felt as though he were swimming through a slushie. Every ice person along his path melted or even evaporated, unable to put up any effective resistance.
The only threats were those ice-blue hands, but they were no match for the flaming greatsword in the burning giant's hands and were soon hacked apart.
He kept fending off attacks as he swam upward along the arms, until, after covering some distance, disbelief suddenly appeared on his face.
He felt that the direction he was swimming in had changed. He had originally been swimming upward, but now he seemed to be heading down instead.
Had the arms attacking him not still been there to serve as reference points, he might really have thought he had gotten his directions backward.
"The direction of gravity changes here!"
Yang Yi instantly understood the problem. No wonder he had spent so long trying to break out without getting anywhere.
Buried beneath the ice people, there was practically no difference between up, down, left, and right. With the need to fight them as well, he had been relying mostly on his instincts to choose a direction.
But if gravity kept shifting, those instincts were completely unreliable!
Having figured it out, Yang Yi switched to swimming downward, though in reality, he was still moving along those ice-blue arms. After two more changes in gravity, he finally broke free and understood his situation.
He was inside some creature!
Those ice-blue arms were specialized feeding organs belonging to that creature, functioning much like the Maw of Gluttony's tongue.
As for the ice people, they could be considered digestive fluid... or perhaps probiotics that aided digestion?
Yang Yi's left eye spun rapidly a few times, then suddenly stalled. Afterward, he knew exactly what this thing was.
