Whoosh! A green vine, whistling through the air, wrapped around Allen’s waist, dragging him downwards.Qin Tian’s voice, carried by the whistling wind, entered his ears, tinged with the helplessness of disappointment: “Why are you joining the commotion, kid? Couldn’t you just walk away peacefully?”Allen swung with the vine to Qin Tian’s side, grabbed his shoulder, and grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: “My luck has always been good. This time, maybe my good luck can keep both of us alive.”Qin Tian looked at the light flickering in his eyes and shook his head with a chuckle.Forget it, this was probably the confidence of the so-called Lucky King.Ahead, the Minotaur’s serrated, ring-shaped maw was slowly closing, its sharp teeth clashing with a crisp “clack-clack” sound. Qin Tian felt little fear in his heart. Earlier, he had merely been restrained by Shadowmoon Tower and Xia Shangji, but who said he couldn’t open a Void Gate inside a giant beast?In fact, because of this unexpected event, a bold idea flashed through his mind: If he encountered a giant beast of similar size in the future, could he directly open a Void Gate and drill into its body, dismantling the opponent from the inside?“Clack-clack.”The Minotaur’s giant mouth completely closed, and the last sliver of external light was completely swallowed. Thick darkness, like ink, enveloped everyone.Qin Tian’s pupils glowed with a faint purple light in the darkness, taking in the surrounding scene.The Minotaur’s abdominal cavity was not a simple flesh chamber; it was more like a living esophagus layered with countless metal plates. The inner wall gleamed with a cold, hard metallic luster, yet also had a teeth-grindingly creeping sensation, a wriggling sensation.Dense, serrated protrusions covered the inner wall, constantly opening and closing with the contraction of the esophagus, flashing with a cold light like cutting metal, clearly designed to completely shred any prey entering the abdomen.Qin Tian reacted extremely quickly, grabbing Allen and moving and dodging through the gaps in the protrusions like walking a tightrope, his toes touching the edge of ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ the serrations to leap.But the others from Shadowmoon Tower were not so lucky. Apart from the Black-Robed Man, who barely managed to protect his vital points with psychic energy, the other few had no time to react and were cut in half by the suddenly closing serrations.Their screams didn’t even last for half a breath before they were ground into a bloody mist by the serrations, their mangled limbs and shattered remains, mixed with internal organs, falling into the depths of the esophagus.Xia Shangji, relying on the foundation of a sixth-rank Spiritual Energy User, used dark energy to prop up a shield and withstood a few blows, but he was also cut by the serrations, leaving several bone-deep wounds. The shield hissed under the friction of the metal serrations.Just then, a strong sense of weightlessness came from the end of the esophagus—the few people had fallen into the Minotaur’s stomach.“Thud!”Qin Tian and Allen fell heavily onto a sticky, slippery surface. The things under their feet were soft, greasy, and cold, sinking deep when stepped on, and they could feel something wriggling beneath. Qin Tian quickly scanned his surroundings. This space was larger than imagined, like a gigantic grotto wrapped in flesh.101 Read Books 101.com Fully typed without errorsCountless blood vessel-like flesh ropes hung from the cave ceiling, and a viscous, greenish-yellow liquid slowly flowed on the ground, emitting a putrid odor. A layer of foam floated on the liquid’s surface, and from time to time, bubbles burst, making a corrosive “pop” sound.Even more bone-chilling was the countless faint “rustling” sounds in the darkness, as if countless tiny insects were crawling among bones.Qin Tian focused his gaze and realized that they were actually tiny tentacles that had detached from the Minotaur’s stomach wall, dragging everything digestible like maggots towards a deeper digestive pool.Xia Shangji looked at the hellish scene before him, his face pale.The Black-Robed Man was calmer, but his body under the cloak trembled slightly, clearly shaken by the terrifying environment.“Gurgle.”Just then, the stomach wall suddenly contracted violently, and countless flesh ropes snapped taut, lashing out at the few people. The green liquid on the ground also began to churn, like boiling venom.“Quick! Open a Void Gate and take us out!” The Black-Robed Man’s hoarse voice exploded amidst the stomach wall’s creeping sound, a wriggling sound. With a flick of his wrist, several dark chains shot out like spiritual snakes, tightly wrapping around Qin Tian’s torso. Runes flickered on the chains, almost embedding themselves into his flesh.His face beneath the cloak was unreadable, but the knuckles of the hand holding the end of the chains were white as bone from the effort.Xia Shangji also roared, his Shadow Touch surging several feet under the impetus of his spiritual power, wrapping around Qin Tian’s arm, firmly locking his movements: “If you dare to abandon us, I will drag you along to be digested by this monster, even if it means my soul is scattered!”The color had already drained from his face, bleached by the putrid stench in the stomach, leaving only the madness of impending death.Qin Tian glanced down at the chains and tentacles wrapped around him, and suddenly let out a laugh.The laughter echoed in the viscous darkness, carrying a hint of mockery: “What’s the hurry? Since you want to be tied to me so badly, then stay a little longer.”He had been dragged down earlier only out of concern for Allen, Bear, and Poison Widow’s safety. Now, in this desperate situation, he had no more reservations.“Are you crazy?!” The Black-Robed Man was furious and shocked. “If we don’t leave now, we’ll all be melted into a puddle of pus by this stomach acid!”Before he finished speaking, the stomach wall’s contractions suddenly became violent, and the churning green liquid on the ground suddenly unleashed a huge wave.“Not good!” Xia Shangji’s pupils constricted. The dark green stomach acid, like a rising tide, surged at a visible speed, instantly transforming into a several-zhang-high wave,carrying countless corrosive bubbles, and slammed fiercely towards the few people.“Allen, hold tight!” Qin Tian growled, and the Spirit Devouring Magic Vine around him suddenly erupted.The vines intertwined wildly as if alive, instantly weaving into an impenetrable green sphere, tightly encasing him and Allen in the center.The barbs on the surface of the vines all stood erect, but instead of attacking outwards, they curved inwards, forming a flexible buffer layer.Boom! The stomach acid wave slammed heavily onto the vine sphere, emitting a dull roar.The green sphere shook violently, the vines on its surface hissing as they were submerged, yet they strangely weren’t corroded. Instead, like a sponge absorbing water, they slowly absorbed the green liquid onto their surface. On the other side, the Black-Robed Man and Xia Shangji were not so lucky.Xia Shangji frantically activated all his psychic energy, and the power of shadows condensed into a shield to resist. But as soon as the shield touched the liquid, it emitted a “hissing” sound of dissolution, like iron sheets doused with strong acid, visibly thinning and corroding.The Shadow Touch was even worse, exploding with a “crack” as it was scalded by the green liquid, breaking off inch by inch like a scorched spiderweb.With his strength as a sixth-rank Psychic Mage, he was actually unable to withstand the erosion of this stomach acid.“No!” Xia Shangji watched helplessly as the last wisp of shadow power dissipated. The stomach acid had already risen past his chest, his flesh writhing in corrosion, and despair instantly gripped his heart.His scream was cut short by the stomach acid rushing into his mouth and nose before it could even fully escape. He tumbled several times in the green wave, and quickly dissolved into a puddle of dark green pus.The Black-Robed Man was slightly better off. Just as the venom was about to engulf him, a purple-gold glow suddenly illuminated his chest. A palm-sized token slipped from his collar. The token was carved with a ferocious beast head, and the glow emanated from it, forming a translucent shield that isolated the venom.“Cough, cough—” He coughed violently, looking at the wildly surging liquid outside the shield, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes. Then he turned to the vine sphere, his voice pleading: “Qin Tian, your name is Qin Tian, right? Please, for the sake of us being in the same desperate situation, pull me out! As long as I can get out, I can agree to any condition.”Seeing Qin Tian remain unmoved, he gritted his teeth and raised his voice: “I am the Third Steward of Shadowmoon Tower. As long as you can take me out, Shadowmoon Tower’s resources and intelligence will be infinitely open to you in the future.”Qin Tian inside the vine sphere remained unmoved.He was intently sensing the changes in the Spirit Devouring Magic Vine—the vines that came into contact with the stomach acid not only weren’t damaged, but instead vibrated with a pleasant tremor. The highly corrosive energy contained in the liquid was being greedily sucked in, and the vines’ color became richer, faintly glowing with a faint light.The Black-Robed Man’s shield gradually became transparent under the continuous erosion of the stomach acid. The purple-gold token’s glow grew dimmer and dimmer, and his psychic energy and mental power rapidly drained away like a floodgate opening. His lips were bitten until they bled.As the shield was about to collapse and the venom had already licked his ankle through the shield’s cracks, causing his flesh to instantly rot, he finally broke down and shrieked: “I surrender! From now on, I will be your servant! Please save me!”Just as his psychic energy was about to run out and his consciousness was about to be swallowed by the intense pain, a green shadow suddenly shot out from the vine sphere. The Spirit Devouring Magic Vine, like lightning, wrapped around his waist, pulling him sharply towards the sphere.“Thud!”The Black-Robed Man fell into the vine gap, his bones feeling as if they had been disassembled as he slumped to the ground.The purple-gold shield on his chest emitted a crisp “crack” sound the moment it touched the vines. The glow shattered inch by inch, finally turning into specks of starlight and dissipating into the air.He propped himself up with his last bit of strength, and in his blurry vision, Qin Tian’s figure was close at hand.The daze of surviving a disaster washed over his consciousness like warm water. He even wanted to force a smile, but it froze the next second. Those bottomless purple eyes were quietly looking at him.There was no anger, no mockery, not even a hint of emotional fluctuation, just like two solidified purple abysses, yet deep within them, a chill that could swallow everything surged.“Hiss—”The Black-Robed Man gasped, his breathing suddenly stopping.That gaze lasted less than half a breath, and a fear more chilling than being corroded by venom suddenly gripped his heart. His blood seemed to instantly freeze in his veins.His consciousness felt as if it was being violently dragged into an abyss by an invisible hand. Countless of his most terrifying images exploded before his eyes: his betrayed brothers holding blood-stained heads demanding his life, the branding iron in Shadowmoon Tower’s torture chamber burning his skin, and the Minotaur’s giant maw, capable of swallowing everything, now slowly opening towards him. These fears were not illusory, but came with real pain—the heart-wrenching hatred of betrayal, the smell of scorched flesh from burning, the suffocating sensation of being swallowed. All the pain accumulated, tearing at his nerves.“No—”He wanted to scream, but only a wheezing sound escaped his throat.Under the gaze of those purple eyes, he felt like prey stripped of all disguise, all his hidden fears laid bare, with nowhere to hide. This was a torment more terrifying than death, the despair of his spirit being slowly dismembered.The extreme fear finally broke his last line of consciousness defense.The Black-Robed Man’s pupils suddenly contracted, then diffused, and his body fell backward like a puppet with cut strings.“Thump.”The back of his head hit the vines with a dull thud. The fear in his eyes solidified into his final expression, then his eyelids heavily dropped, and he completely fell into a coma.Qin Tian glanced at the unconscious Black-Robed Man, then looked at the vines that were frantically absorbing the venom, tapping his thigh lightly with his fingertips, and murmured, “A sixth-rank Psychic Mage.”This person, who claimed to be a steward of Shadowmoon Tower, was a sixth-rank martial artist. His mental power wasn't particularly strong. Additionally, because he had just been maintaining the purple-gold token shield, he had almost exhausted his psychic energy and mental power, which led to his collapse under the Fear Demon Eye.Afterward, Qin Tian naturally and smoothly planted a Soul Imprint, gaining his second sixth-rank subordinate.Shadowmoon Tower, interesting.Qin Tian stroked his chin. Li Qi’s intelligence organization had just been established. Although every member was a Night Demon Apostle with unlimited potential, it started too late, and its current foundation and resources were still lacking.But if they could leverage Shadowmoon Tower’s resources, Li Qi’s Dark Division might be able to develop rapidly, and in the future, they might even be able to usurp the host and directly annex Shadowmoon Tower.Qin Tian placed his hand on the Black-Robed Man’s body, and a green light glowed, healing his injuries, but the mental exhaustion was not so easy to recover from.So, Qin Tian threw him into the Yang Space.Hiss, hiss. Outside the vine sphere, the waves gradually subsided, leaving only corrosive marks steaming on the ground.And the Spirit Devouring Magic Vine, in this hellish environment, grew even more robust.Allen had witnessed everything just now. Although he had many questions, he still didn’t ask them. Everyone has secrets.Brother Qin Tian did, and so did he.At this moment, Qin Tian turned to Allen and said,“Wait a little longer. When the Minotaur stops moving, we’ll go out.”He thought of something. Minotaurs love metal and often live near mineral deposits. The more advanced a Minotaur, the more likely there is a high-grade mineral vein near its habitat.And a seventh-rank Minotaur, its chosen mineral vein must be the top-grade one in this area. If he could follow the Minotaur into its lair and acquire those rare metals, after consuming them, his physical strength and defense would reach a new height.“Okay.” Allen nodded, but a hint of hesitation was subtly present on his face. Qin Tian knew what Allen was thinking, smiled, and said,“Don’t worry, I’ll first report our safety to our companions outside.”After speaking, he used the power of the Soul Imprint to inform Poison Widow of their current situation and instructed Poison Widow to relay the message to Luo Xiu and Vivian.Poison Widow’s voice trembled with excitement after learning he was safe: “Boss! You must be careful! We’ll be waiting at the outer edge of the mine, ready to assist at any time!”“Okay!”Qin Tian replied simply, then drew out black frost and lightly stabbed the inner wall. As he expected, the seventh-rank Minotaur’s internal organs were incredibly hard. Neither black frost nor Jiela could damage it in the slightest.He had originally thought that Jiela might be able to pierce the Minotaur’s body from the inside and drain it, but now he saw that he had underestimated the hardness of a seventh-rank Minotaur’s body too much.After absorbing so much metal essence, the Minotaur was like a giant beast forged from steel, with no weaknesses from the inside out.Seeing this, Qin Tian no longer made further plans and waited silently with Allen for the Minotaur to stop.
