In a gloomy cave, a massive monster lizard was drinking water by a pond. The moment it lifted its head, a flying rock shattered its skull, and the lizard collapsed.
Li Tian, covered in blood, walked over and sat by the corpse, drinking water. After a while, Li Tian took off his clothes and bathed in the pond. Looking at the corpse, he said, "Algar Lizard. I've eaten a few of these before. They taste much better than those spider-bugs or giant bears."
Li Tian thought: He had been here for several days. Although he had become much stronger, it was far from enough! He was certain there were many more types of food in this Underground Labyrinth waiting for him, the gourmet, to taste.
The so-called Underground Labyrinth is a place beneath the Underground City. Only a few Underground Cities have labyrinths. Underground Labyrinths are vast, and the monsters within them are generally stronger than those in the Underground City.
After bathing, Li Tian dragged the corpse and walked deeper into the cave. At this moment, a pair of blood-red eyes in a dark cave were staring at him, like a hunter waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to its prey.
Over the next few days, Li Tian used the venomous steel threads of demonic spiders to entangle many small and flying monsters, including frogs, bees, and Goblins. These were all considered appetizers for Li Tian. A large demonic bear, covered in wounds, ran in a panic. Li Tian, with his wings, instantly appeared beside it, his cold gaze seemingly announcing its death. Then, Li Tian's right hand transformed into a giant praying mantis scythe, and with a whoosh, he chopped off the bear's head.
Afterward, Li Tian found a Blood Goblin nest, which contained regular Blood Goblins (C), Elite Blood Goblins (C+), Blood Goblin Shamans (B), and a Blood Goblin King (A). These Blood Goblins were entirely crimson, larger than ordinary Goblins, more ferocious, and possessed a certain level of intelligence.
However, Li Tian was like a wolf among sheep in there. The Blood Goblins scattered as if they had seen a plague god, only to find the cave entrance already covered in spiderwebs. In the end, the nest was destroyed, with none escaping.
Several more days passed. Li Tian came to a water source to drink. A tentacle suddenly shot out of the water, wrapped around Li Tian, and pulled him into the water. After the water surface was calm for a while, it began to turn purple. Then, with a "bang," water splashed into the sky, and Li Tian slowly walked out of the water onto the shore, dragging a large octopus as tall as a floor. After eating the octopus, Li Tian jumped back into the river, transformed into an octopus, and devoured everything in the water.
In the Underground Labyrinth, there was no sense of morning, noon, or night. On this day, Li Tian was sitting by a fire in an open space, contemplating his recent gains. In this labyrinth, he had eaten everything that ran on the ground, crawled on walls, swam in water, and flew in the sky, including many A-rank monsters.
Li Tian thought: At first, this body was incredibly weak, with only a massive amount of magic power. But when he used magic based on the original owner's memories, it had no offensive or healing power. Fortunately, he could grow stronger by devouring and plundering, and releasing the skills of the food he consumed was no problem.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the shadows. Li Tian's night vision showed him a massive snake, at least seventy or eighty meters long. The large snake saw Li Tian staring directly at it. It was hard to imagine a human could spot it in such a dark environment, so it stopped hiding, opened its gaping maw, and charged at Li Tian.
Seeing this, Li Tian slammed his hand to the ground, activating the Earth Bear (B+)’s Earth Barrier, and a thick earthen wall instantly rose from the ground. In just one encounter, the large snake broke through the wall. "Oh~" Li Tian was slightly surprised. The large snake whipped its tail, sending Li Tian flying and then crashing to the ground.
Li Tian got up from the ground unharmed. Through the firelight, he finally saw the snake's appearance. Its entire body was covered in translucent, hard purple scales, sharp venomous fangs, and a pair of fishy red vertical pupils. At this moment, it was looking down at Li Tian. Li Tian licked his lips and smiled slightly: "It's an A+ rank Amante Poisonous Snake."
The large snake flicked its tongue, opened its huge mouth, and hissed at Li Tian. "Beast! Witness the power of magic!" With that, Li Tian waved one hand, and colorful magic circles instantly surrounded the large snake. To prevent the large snake from having resistance to a certain attribute, Li Tian directly used different types of magic. As many magical attacks overwhelmingly struck the large snake, dust immediately billowed.
The Amante Poisonous Snake, with minor injuries, burst out of the dust, opened its huge mouth, and a strange purple magic circle appeared in front of it. Then, it spewed a cloud of poisonous mist, engulfing Li Tian. Li Tian's mouth curved upward, and he charged out of the mist, using the Great Bear's Bear Paw to heavily slap the large snake.
The large snake was dazed by the slap, quickly shook its head, and then watched Li Tian warily. Devouring inherently provides various negative resistances and immunities; otherwise, how could he devour everything?
The Amante Poisonous Snake swept its tail forward, dispersing a large amount of dust, then slammed it heavily onto the ground, making the entire ground tremble. The large snake took advantage of Li Tian's unstable footing, quickly rushed out of the dust, bit Li Tian's lower body, and lifted him into the air. At this moment, its eyes were filled with mockery, as if proclaiming its victory.
Li Tian, however, was not flustered at all. Instead, he showed a mischievous smile and scoffed, "Beast! If you dare, eat me!" With that, he even punched the large snake's nose. A red light flashed in the large snake's eyes, and it bit down hard, directly swallowing Li Tian's lower body. Li Tian's upper body, accompanied by blood, fell to the ground. He pointed at the large snake and said, "You're finished." Then, he activated the Space Rabbit (C+)'s Teleportation.
Watching Li Tian's upper body instantly transform into a slime-covered lower body, the Amante Poisonous Snake was momentarily bewildered. It was already doubting whether this guy was even human.
Not long after, pain came from the large snake's belly, followed by excruciating agony. The large snake continuously rolled and collided on the ground, emitting painful hisses. In its horrified gaze, its belly gradually bulged, and then a sharp claw tore through its belly. Li Tian, covered in blood and slime, walked out. "Thank you for the meal!" He said, wiping the lingering meat scraps from the corner of his mouth. The large snake let out a long "Hiss!" to the sky and then collapsed.
Just as Li Tian was about to leave, the large snake's body suddenly twisted, and it opened its gaping maw to strike at Li Tian, showing its last bit of defiance. Li Tian didn't even turn his head, as if he had expected it. He activated several pre-arranged poison spear spells. Several poison spears struck the poor large snake, causing it to fall backward. One poison spear hit the wall above, and the large snake was finally crushed under the collapsing boulders. This time, it was truly dead.
