Monster life starting from picking up materials

The two mantis arms crossed, and the bright curved hooks at the ends rubbed against each other and rose high, inserting into the flesh and blood ground below.

“Hoo-ah!!!”

The Snake Emperor Dragon let out a shrill howl of pain, and a strong gust of wind gushed out from the corridor in front, shaking the slender body of the Mantis.

Although he was not blown away, Ji Jie still felt the power of the Snake Emperor Dragon's breath from the strong wind. He felt something was wrong for a moment and decisively gave up staying at the Snake Emperor Dragon's throat and threw himself into the dark corridor in front.

He entered the esophagus of the Snake Emperor Dragon.

The esophagus of the Snake Emperor Dragon is like a long, dark and damp cave. Compared with the body size of the mantis, it does not appear very wide. Its limbs can firmly grasp the flexible inner wall, effectively providing stable digging conditions for the two forelimbs.

Recalling the location where energy surged when the Snake Emperor Dragon exhaled, Ji Jie slid all the way down to the location suspected to be the Snake Emperor Dragon's breathing organ, waving his claws repeatedly, and began to dig towards the outer cavity of the esophagus.

He raised his mantis arm and smashed it down with force. The hook at the end of his arm then pierced into the flesh and pulled it hard. The slippery and flexible flesh became sticky and blood gushed out.

But it is not so easy to peel off a whole piece of flesh and blood.

With a huge body, the body tissues naturally need to have a strength that matches it. The inner wall of the Snake Emperor Dragon's cavity is flexible and strong, and its strength is not low at all. Ji Jie's claws often get stuck, and further force is needed to cause damage.

As he continued to dig and dig, his movements became more and more skillful. He tore along the texture of the Snake Emperor Dragon's flesh, and his speed increased a lot. Pieces of flesh were hooked and thrown behind him, and a small pit filled with blood appeared in front of him.

The hole got bigger and bigger, and the Snake Emperor Dragon's reaction became more and more intense.

The flexible inner wall of the esophagus began to peristaltic contraction and began to secrete acidic digestive fluid. After a period of shaking, obvious wrinkles appeared on the inner wall, and these wrinkles continued to fluctuate.

Obviously, the Snake Emperor Dragon folded up his body and was trying to rub the part where Ji Jie was, wanting him to slide into the stomach with stronger digestive ability.

But the mantis's limbs stood firmly, and the construction conditions were not easily affected. He just raised his claws and kept smashing down.

The body cavity trembled continuously under the heavy blow, and digestive fluid mixed with blood splashed everywhere. The Snake Emperor Dragon also rolled over in severe pain, and used its snake body to hit the main peak of Thousand Swords Mountain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Due to the frequent collisions and rotations, Ji Jie also felt dizzy, and something rolled from under his esophagus and hit his head.

Ji Jie, feeling a little disgusted and not knowing what it was, glanced sideways and was shocked to find that it was actually the tail of his own Dark Lantern form.

The long tail was bitten off in the middle, and the broken part was bloody and the fluttering veil at the tail was still corroded by the digestive fluid and had many holes.

Ji Jie subconsciously turned his head to look at his abdomen and tail in mantis form, which was also broken into a large part.

He tried to spin silk, but with a spasm, the silk thread just hung down limply, not flying out as before.

"Tsk."

He shook his head and smacked his lips, then turned around to see that his broken tail was stuck with digestive fluid and was slowly sliding down as the King of Snakes raised its body.

A hooked claw emerged from the flesh and blood, reached out, and hooked the severed tail in front of him and sniffed it.

The digestive fluid of the Snake Emperor Dragon does not have a strong strange smell, perhaps because the Snake Emperor Dragon's diet is too standardized underground.

With a little nostalgic feeling, Ji Jie put the broken tail behind his back, pulled out a little silk thread to wrap it around, then raised his claws and hit the inner wall of the Snake Emperor Dragon again.

The severed tail was tied behind the back, and anger and strength surged up. Large pieces of flesh were torn apart, and thick blood began to flow into the Snake Emperor Dragon's esophagus in large quantities.

"Hangang!!!"

The internal bleeding caused the Snake Emperor Dragon to howl in pain again, and his wide-open eyes were full of bloodshot.

He swung his body violently to hit Qianjian Mountain again, but his extremely strong body now became a shield for the monster in his stomach, allowing it to safely create destruction within his body.

In people's eyes, this scene can be described as weird.

It was obvious that it had successfully swallowed the enemy into its stomach, but at this time the Snake Emperor Dragon seemed to be fighting against an invisible enemy, and its wailing and painful appearance clearly showed that it was at a disadvantage.

"No! According to calculations, that creature's body length is one-eighth of the Snake Emperor Dragon. There's no way it wouldn't struggle at all!"

Some scholars reacted and painted a piece on the throat of the Snake Emperor Dragon, and then derived one-eighth section horizontally.

"Yes, after swallowing such a huge monster, the Snake Emperor Dragon will definitely swell up..."

The female scholar murmured, her eyes fixed on the snake emperor dragon's throat, but she did not find any movement, as if it had not swallowed at all.

"Perhaps the Snake Emperor's teeth contain some kind of toxin? One that can soften biological tissue?"

Combined with the fact that the body did not become bloated after swallowing, scholars really doubt whether the Snake Emperor Dragon actually swallowed the "stars".

538

Chapter 538 He shrunk.

Just as the scholars were observing, the armed airship slowly crossed the observation ship, and a figure leaped up and landed steadily on the deck of the observation ship.

"Any additional discoveries?"

Guild member Dark Night walked down from the deck and came to the crowd, his eyes fixed on the Snake Emperor Dragon who was struggling in pain.

Seeing the approaching hunter, the scholars calmed down a little and briefly reiterated their suspicions and guesses.

"The Snake Emperor Dragon swallowed the Star, there's no doubt about that."

Dark Night stared at the snake pupils of the Snake Emperor Dragon, trying to understand his emotions and behavior, and then said:

"He wanted to vomit out what he had swallowed. The way he folded his body and rubbed it together earlier must have been to move his esophagus to induce vomiting."

The only thing that the Snake Emperor Dragon had just swallowed was the powerful ancient dragon.

"Well, speaking of 'Xingchen', since that ancient dragon first appeared, we've observed that its attacks are primarily based on energy radiation. We can even see faint energy flows beneath its carapace."

An old scholar spoke up.

"The Snake Emperor Dragon swallowed him, causing the energy to explode directly from the Snake Emperor Dragon's body."

The original continental guild had observed the heroic death of the ancient dragons and understood that these creatures would not be content with an ordinary death.

"Then the lack of swelling after swallowing means the only explanation is that the Snake Emperor Dragon might possess fluids that can soften living organisms. But could such a massive monster possibly have prey that requires it to soften before it can eat?"

The female scholar was skeptical and then put forward her own ideas.

"Perhaps the explanation lies in the 'stars' rather than the Serpent Emperor Dragon."

"You mean, he entered the Snake Emperor Dragon's mouth on his own initiative?"

"Falling into the snake's mouth wasn't necessarily his own initiative. The severed tail injury was visible to the naked eye. It seemed like he gave up struggling after falling into the snake's mouth, and his counterattack only lasted a very short moment."

The guild recalled carefully in the dark night. "Xingchen" was not as panicked as imagined after falling into the mouth of the Snake Emperor Dragon. Does this mean that falling into the snake's mouth is not a death sentence for him?

"I can't imagine how he could have survived falling into the mouth of the Snake Emperor Dragon."

One scholar held his head and shook it, and his ancient hair crown swayed back and forth, which was very cute.

An Ye's sight fell on the paper on the ground. A piece of gray that was one-eighth of the length of the Snake Emperor Dragon was smeared from the Snake Emperor Dragon's mouth to the throat. The extra length extended downward to the Snake Emperor Dragon's body, and then extended to the back of the Snake Emperor Dragon's head.

As the distance increases during retreat, the human eye gradually reaches the limit of its observation distance, but the human brain can clarify the fuzzy information.

To do this, you only need a reference for thinking.

He picked up the paper and ran his finger across the back of Snake Emperor Dragon's head, cutting off the extra part.

"The volume that entered the Snake Emperor Dragon's mouth was not the complete volume of the 'Star'."

"you mean?!"

The female scholar's glasses reflected a bright light. She looked at the picture and instantly understood what the hunter meant.

"He shrunk."

The hunter's gaze left the paper and turned towards the direction where the Serpent Emperor Dragon was writhing in pain, remaining still.

Not only was he motionless, the noise of the energy flow made everyone freeze. The pale light rippled into the sky, illuminating their pupils white.

It was the breath of the Snake Emperor Dragon that swept across the area indiscriminately, obliterating the mountains and annihilating everything in its path under the light.

Fortunately, this does not include observation ships, and the light changes during the day are not as difficult to adapt to as at night.

When the light faded, everyone could still see, and they could see that the Snake Emperor Dragon's pain did not stop because of the breath release, but became even more intense.

The impact was so severe that the Snake Emperor Dragon almost rolled off the main peak, but fortunately his claws dug into the main peak again to stabilize his body. Then, the immortal emperor rolled down from the throne and descended painfully into the abyss.

A few seconds ago, the esophagus of the Snake Emperor Dragon.

Ji Jie has dug to a certain depth and is approaching an energy source that he senses. The structure to which the energy source is attached is the breathing organ of the Snake Emperor Dragon.

But at this moment, the energy source of perception suddenly flashed, and the strong energy light almost blinded his perception.

The Snake Emperor Dragon obviously would not allow himself to be killed. White particles flew out from his blurred flesh and blood. He began to accumulate energy and prepare to exhale, hoping to use the power of his breath to annihilate himself in the esophagus.

Xinzhi Pavilion's mantis form could not withstand the breath of the Snake Emperor Dragon, so Ji Jie had to quickly crawl out of the pit of flesh and blood and slide down the esophagus.

The breath of the Snake Emperor Dragon cannot flow back into the stomach through the esophagus. The breath weapon of any creature should be directed outward!

It descended smoothly in the Snake Emperor Dragon's esophagus, and white particles gathered upward against the season knot, making him feel as if he was in a white ocean. The earth vein source crystals in his body also made faint calls, as if wanting to compete for the ownership of these energies.

Unfortunately, the mantis does not have the ability to absorb energy efficiently, and can only let the energy rush towards the breath of the Snake Emperor Dragon.

Soon, Ji Jie slid down to the chest of the Snake Emperor Dragon and felt the vibrations coming from the Snake Emperor Dragon's heart. He grasped the inner wall with his limbs and listened with his ears tilted.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

It was a roar like an earthquake, demonstrating the giant snake's incomparably strong vitality.

In terms of perception, there is an energy source near the heart of the Snake Emperor Dragon that is brighter than the breathing organ, but there are several body cavities in between, and it takes a lot of effort to penetrate it.

"roar~"

Following the roar, Ji Jie raised his head, his senses penetrating layers of body cavities, and he "saw" a pale torrent of energy gushing out of the Snake Emperor Dragon's mouth, sweeping across the sky and earth.

He lowered his head calmly, his attention returned to the present, and his claws pierced into the wall of flesh in front of him and slashed it hard!

The Snake Emperor Dragon let out another heart-wrenching wail, its body raised and bounced, and the strong dizziness caused Ji Jie to be thrown to the other side, almost slipping into the stomach.

Oh my god, this almost made the Snake Emperor Dragon fall off the mountain.

There was another dizzying moment, and Ji Jie only felt gravity pulling him to turn towards the direction above him not long ago, flying out of the Snake Emperor Dragon's esophagus and back into his mouth.

The Snake Emperor Dragon turned over and moved downwards from the main peak, as if it was going back into the abyss.

Ji Jie adjusted his position and landed back on the side of Snake Emperor Dragon's chest. He waved his claws again and then widened the gap from the esophagus to other body cavities.

“Roar!!!”

The Snake Emperor Dragon howled in pain and stopped descending. His chest kept rubbing against the mountain, but the pain did not subside and continued to increase with the damage to his esophagus.

Looking up towards the foot of Thousand Swords Mountain, he saw a sword peak parallel to his own.

Without any hesitation, he stretched out his claws, opened his mouth wide and pounced towards the sword peak.

539

Chapter 539 Two manifestations of one power.

The top of Jianfeng Mountain was bitten into pieces, and the huge rock was swallowed into the mouth by the Snake Emperor Dragon. As he slightly raised his upper body, it slid down his esophagus.

"boom!"

Ji Jie raised his mantis arms to resist the rocks that fell from above after the world spun around, but the falling rocks continued to pile up on this part of his body.

Moreover, the Snake Emperor Dragon's esophagus was still contracting and wriggling, causing the stones to slide down.

Feeling that the pain in his chest was temporarily relieved and realizing the effectiveness of this action, the Snake Emperor Dragon swallowed the mountain in big mouthfuls.

"Don't eat anything you want!"

Ji Jie felt the increasing weight on his arms and let out an angry hiss.

He was about to be squeezed under by these stones. The esophagus of the Snake Emperor Dragon was not as spacious as he had imagined, and it was completely blocked by piled up boulders above. He had no place to hide.

Instead of waiting for the last boulder to crush Ge Mantis, he could only take the initiative to descend from the Snake Emperor Dragon's body into the more spacious stomach, and crawled out from under the boulder in a panic.

Compared to the esophagus, the stomach secretes more digestive fluid and accumulates into pools, with a stronger decomposition ability. The golden shell can be seen to dim with the naked eye.

Ji Jie had no choice but to push over the boulders to make a path, and then launched an attack in the stomach of the Snake Emperor Dragon.

However, the stones in the stomach would roll with the movements of the Snake Emperor Dragon, and the digestive juices would be poured everywhere, making it difficult to focus on hitting one point as hard as in the esophagus.

As a mountain was devoured, the pain eased, and the Snake Emperor Dragon stopped eating and moved downward again, intending to return to the safety of the underground as soon as possible and rely on the endless soil and rock layers to relieve the pain in his stomach.

After the falling of the huge rock stopped, Ji Jie stepped on the stomach wall and drilled into the esophagus again, waving his claws repeatedly, trying to dig a hole in the inner wall of the esophagus where he could shelter from the falling rock.

However, before he could open his mouth, he felt a sense of weightlessness, followed by a shock that made him bounce several times between the inner walls of the Snake Emperor Dragon's esophagus.

After regaining his balance, his perception range penetrated the snake's body and covered half of the Snake Emperor Dragon. Only then did Ji Jie know what was happening in the outside world.

The tortured and weakened Snake Emperor Dragon fell from the main peak and landed heavily on the ground. Fortunately, the place where he fell was not high from the ground, so he was not broken into flat and broken knife-cut noodles.
