Hearing this Bold quickly sprinted towards the head of the beast. Kenji followed him and together they arrived beside its nose and stared into the half-open mouth of the beast. Bold and Kenji grabbed hold of the razor-sharp teeth carefully and pulled it up. It created a small space but the space became even wider when Mikhail came in to assist them.

“Okay, now someone needs to-“ said Kenji. But before he could finish his sentence Bold slid into the mouth of the beast. The sharp edges of the teeth slit his back and belly but he gave no heed.   

He slid across the corpse’s tongue and fell through to its throat.

“Hey, wait up”

When Mikhail’s voice came from above the throat of the giant, Bold moved away a little, allowing Mikhail to slide in as well. Another person also jumped into the throat and almost landed on top of Mikhail. It was Thompson. Together the three of them crawled along the beast’s chest and arrived in front of its stomach. What awaited them was a red acidic lake. Legs arms and body parts casually floated in it. One could easily say it was the soup of hell.

“Help” came a low voice from the center of the acid.

Emma’s brown eyes stared at them with fear and despair.

“Hold on. We’ll think of something” said Mikhail and started to roll his eyes around his surrounding to find something that would help them get over the acid through to her. Out of impatience, Thompson dipped his leg into the acid only to jump back out. Screaming and groaning he grabbed his leg in horror.

“Son of a-“

Bold looked at the acid. Bubbles rose from it and simply sitting close to it was enough to tan his face with heat. But looking at the helpless Emma and imagining the pain and suffering she is going through created a deep urge in him and he quickly jumped in.

“Bold!” cried Mikhail from behind him.

He did not stop at his words. Nor did he stop cause of the liquid that leaked into his trousers, burned his skin and entered into his flesh. Putting one leg forward after the other, slowly and steadily he walked. The pain he felt was unbearable. Just from burning sensation his head started to hurt. But ignoring all that he walked and soon arrived in front of Emma. She looked at him blankly but tears started to appear in her eyes as Bold grabbed her in his arms. He turned around and walked as the acid continued to burn his skin.

All this Thompson watched with open mouth and Mikhail with keen observation. When Bold came close to the shore, Mikhail and Thompson quickly grabbed her out of his hands. Bold took his legs out of the acid only to let out a cry of pain that was long suppressed. And almost as if to be drained of his last strength, he fell on his back.

“Thompson, take Emma and go. I’ll drag Bold after you” said Mikhail.

Thompson piggybacked Emma and headed towards the throat while Mikhail wrapped his arms around Bold’s armpits and dragged him.

“Boy, you’re a heavy fellow. You know that?”

Bold let out a small laugh.

They slowly crawled along the throat and arrived at the mouth.  It was the most troublesome part, trying to climb up to the mouth of the beast. But Thompson was strong enough to tread with might and climb up to the mouth of the mouser. He threw Emma out of the mouser's mouth and went back to help Mikhail carry his heavy buddy. Bold’s body was carried successfully through the open mouth of the beast while Kenji and Diego were raising the beast’s teeth.

After getting out Mikhail gently slapped Bold on his face.

“Come on man, don’t pass out on me”

Bold’s eyes opened and he took notice of the immeasurable pain in his legs. But there was no time for willy nilly so Mikhail pushed him off the giant’s body and slid down himself. Kenji and Diego came down after them.

“Only twenty seconds left” cried Amanda.

“Bold, summon your horse”

Even with the burning sensation drugging his mind, Bold typed on his wristboard and a horse emerged beside him. Thompson threw the unconscious Emma on it and Mikhail helped Bold get on top of the pedals. He rode his horse regardless of his numbed senses, blurred vision and the others soon followed after him.

“Where is Vlad and Natalia?” asked Mikhail.

“They went ahead. Apparently we should be close to the treasure chest as of now” said Kenji.

They quickened their pace and turned to the left towards the light source. What awaited them was a straight slope that turned to the right. Soon loud screeches were heard from behind them and they increased their speed.

At the end of the slope, they saw a giant stone wall with green bricks. At the center was a round door which was already opened. Curiously they entered through the door and a clean hall with a floor covered in red carpet and cleanly painted yellow walls was waiting for them. Sitting at the end of the hall was a large chest box, now opened. and before the chest box sat Natalia and Vlad.
