126: Use your own spear to attack your own shield

The monster had wandered through the Void Realm for hundreds of years, experiencing countless life-and-death crises, and its perception of danger had become keen to the point of instinct.

After snapping off another peach branch, it suddenly felt a chill at its seven-inch mark. Although it didn't know the direction of the danger, it already knew which way to dodge. It jerked back and saw a black shadow emerge from the peach leaves.

"Siss siss siss..." (With so many leaves gathered together, even a fool would know something was wrong.)

Although they spoke different languages, it didn't stop the monster from mocking loudly.

Like a hunter with a wicked sense of humor, it liked to see its prey lose all motivation to resist before capturing them.

Seeing the black shadow approaching, it suddenly whipped its tail across.

Little Dog revealed a cunning smile in the air. It was already prepared, knowing it couldn't bite the monster's throat in one hit; it had just used its strength to kick off the tree trunk and pounce.

Seeing that it had baited the monster's tail, it immediately activated the "Fierce Dog Assault" skill, appearing directly next to the marked position.

Silence Throttle!

As soon as it landed on the monster, it pounced on the other's throat and bit down hard.

The monster's tail, which had just been whipped out, was about to snap back when Little Peach Tree waved its bare peach branches, blocking the tail and then tightly entangling it.

Peach branches were naturally brittle. Although their flexibility had increased countless times after becoming an Earthly Spiritual Root, they still couldn't block the monster's tail.

Batches of peach branches were snapped, but more branches wrapped around, only to be pulled apart by immense force, followed by even more branches surging forward.

The peach branches kept breaking and regrowing, surging forward again and again. These waves of effort finally brought the monster's tail under control.

Little Black Snake sprang forward, biting the monster's tail hard, and used the "Elephant Swallowing" skill to forcefully swallow the monster into its belly.

One meter.

Three meters.

Ten meters... The monster sensed danger and jerked its head around, its previously fearful expression turning into one of mockery.

Is that it?

It suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a spatial ripple flashed.

The entangling peach branches were "swish" cut through for the most part without any resistance, as clean and neat as slicing a watermelon.

The spatial ripple didn't stop there, slashing into Little Black Snake's body and nearly cutting it in two.

Little Black Snake's health bar instantly dropped by a third. If it took another hit, its health would surely bottom out.

Surprise flashed in Little Dog's eyes. It realized its mouth was too small; since it hadn't even bitten halfway through the monster's neck, it couldn't silence the monster's skills at all.

It hurriedly consumed all its Mana, and hundreds of Clones appeared, tearing and biting at the monster everywhere.

Throat, mouth, nose, inner ears... The monster was furious, its eyes instantly turning red. It jerked its body, pinning several Little Dog Clones beneath it, and opened its mouth again as a familiar spatial ripple appeared.

Little Black Snake's body trembled, but it didn't flee, continuing to devour the monster's body instead.

Twelve meters.

Fifteen meters... Shoo!

Another spatial ripple slammed into Little Black Snake's wound. This time, it nearly split it in two, revealing pale white bone and even a section of the monster's tail.

Struggle flashed in Little Peach Tree's eyes. Gritting its teeth, it plucked an immortal coil and tossed it into Little Black Snake's mouth.

Although Little Black Snake's talent had been fully activated by "All Ascend to Heaven," once the immortal coil entered its mouth, the surging power began repairing its body's injuries.

The health bar that had nearly bottomed out was instantly filled, and it even gained an "Overflowing Spiritual Qi" BUFF.

Within five minutes, Health and Mana regeneration speed increased by 500%.

With the addition of the Spiritual Domain's boost, it reached a full 9 times!

Little Black Snake, which had been somewhat exhausted, was now filled with power and swallowed another section of the monster's body.

Thirty meters!

It had almost reached Little Black Snake's own length, and its entire body had swelled significantly.

Its entire stomach was filled to capacity by the monster's body, making it impossible to even move.

If not for the Elephant Swallowing skill, it would have been stuffed to death.

But its master had not yet appeared, so it had to keep working hard.

Little Black Snake stared wide-eyed, desperately continuing to devour the monster's body.

"Siss siss siss..." (Die!)

Previously, the monster had the mindset of playing with its prey, not taking the contracted beasts like Little Black Snake seriously at all.

Even when Little Peach Tree erupted with terrifying vitality, it only felt that it had gained an inexhaustible canteen.

But seeing the madness in Little Black Snake's eyes, it felt a bit panicked at this moment. It kept thrashing its tail, trying to shake off Little Black Snake like a piece of sticky plaster in the Void Realm.

But it was useless.

Just as it was going crazy with anxiety, desperately spitting out Void Blades to attack Little Black Snake, the ignored Little Dog gave up on the impenetrable throat and suddenly bit down on the monster's nostril.

"Siss..."

The monster swung its body frantically, moving through the Void Realm in all sorts of bizarre postures.

Inside the snake's stomach, Xu Le was dizzy. Little Demon Monkey even slipped off the star radiance profound spear and fell into the stomach acid.

Xu Le hurriedly grabbed it and threw it to Little Silly Crow, helping it continue its attack on the stomach wall.

He himself pulled out the star radiance profound spear. Having been soaked in stomach acid for over an hour, even as a mythic-grade weapon, the spearhead had been corroded and pitted.

Xu Le used the traceless ring.

After his skills finished cooling down, he shared Little Demon Monkey's skills and attributes.

The attack speed, attack power, and cooldown reduction that Little Demon Monkey had accumulated over an hour of attacking were shared over.

Xu Le held the star radiance profound spear and began attacking the stomach wall.

Because it was pet equipment, he couldn't get the equipment's bonuses and skills by holding it, but the equipment's inherent sharpness remained.

Dozens of attacks merged into one, with countless spear shadows striking the same spot.

A terrifying amount of damage appeared on the stomach wall.

-59869.

"Awoo..."

The monster let out a shrill howl. It even forgot about Little Black Snake, who was swallowing its tail, its whole body turning stiff.

However, this was only the beginning.

Xu Le used Hurricane Howl to swirl up all the stomach acid, making it flow toward the wound.

The concentrated stomach acid seeped out through the previous hole. Upon contact with its own flesh, the acid's corrosiveness erupted, quickly eating away at the flesh.

It didn't even spare the bones. Before long, the pale white bones began to turn black and soften.

Xu Le naturally didn't have it easy either. He hurriedly recalled Nine Phoenix, Little Silly Crow, and Little Demon Monkey into the Contract Space, then cast a Battle Aura Shield around himself to block the first wave of stomach acid.

Then he used the "Hurricane Howl" skill again to swirl up all the stomach acid and squeezed out through the hole in the stomach wall, soon appearing in the Void Realm.

Seeing Xu Le, the monster finally understood the source of its body's abnormality. It tried to twist its body indignantly, but its spine had been corroded into two pieces, making it completely unable to move.

It could only open its mouth and spit out a Void Blade at Xu Le.

The Battle Aura Shield shattered instantly.

Xu Le himself lost over 3,000 health points.

Now that his skills were off cooldown, he immediately put up another shield.

This... The monster closed its eyes in despair.

Under the corrosion of the stomach acid, its health plummeted and soon nearly bottomed out.

Xu Le hurriedly summoned Little Silly Crow.

Little Silly Crow immediately cast "Soul Sacrifice."

A blood-colored altar enveloped the monster...
