Chapter 29
Jitang was in trouble, and so was Huanmang.
The flesh net wrapped Huanmang and Jiuxiao.
Seen from the outside, the flesh net turned into a huge sphere. Every gap in the sphere was filled with gray eyeballs. The two combined together made it airtight.
Ji Tang suppressed his nausea and said, "I can't see the black circles on the eyeballs anymore."
Su Jinzhou: "They should all be heading inwards."
Huanyue's face was filled with worry. "Then they are essentially being stared at from every angle by the eyeball! If they want to avoid the eyeball's illusion, the only way is to close their eyes, but closing their eyes greatly affects their performance."
Just as Huanyue thought, Huanmang and Jiuxiao both had their eyes closed at this moment, and could only rely on their hearing to judge the movements in the meat net.
The tentacles kept pulling out from the flesh net and swung towards the two people. If they failed to hit the two people, they would drill into the flesh net again.
The flesh net is made up of countless tentacles, and the striking never stops.
They were already limited by their inability to see, and their ability to fight back became even more restricted.
Huan Mang: "We can't keep wasting time here. The monsters are outside and everyone else is in danger!"
Jiu Xiao dodged the tentacles coming from two directions, his hands already transformed into a shape like the radiant moon. "What do you say we should do?"
Huan Mang made a prompt decision: "Change back to dragon form!"
Outside the meat net, members of the two tribes dealt with the eyeballs while observing the situation of the meat net.
After a long period of silence, the flesh net finally changed. The shrinking and contracting flesh net suddenly expanded from within, instantly stretching into a bulging ball.
After a while, the ball grew bigger and bigger, until it reached its limit and could no longer grow, and cracks began to appear in the flesh net.
First one or two, then more, the cracks were torn bigger because of the things inside. After reaching the critical point, the flesh net suddenly burst and shattered, and the tentacles were pushed outward by the stretched force, and the debris splattered everywhere.
Jitang saw two huge dragon heads, one red and one green.
The two dragons flew out of the sphere, flicking their tails to smash the tentacles and eyeball remnants into pieces, and not a trace of dirt could touch them.
Under the dark sky, the red dragon was like the scorching sun, illuminating the entire world. The green dragon, on the other hand, was even more mysterious, like a giant formed by countless phosphorescent flames.
Huanyue breathed a sigh of relief, "It turned into a dragon."
But before he could fully breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the monster suddenly fly high and collide with the two dragons with its huge body.
Amidst the loud bang, the swamp became even more boiling, and the tentacles and eyeballs inside rose into the air without caring about the people on the ground. They quickly wrapped around Huanmang and Jiuxiao's dragon bodies, controlling their movements and turning into living ropes.
The red dragon let out a loud roar, and the flames on its body became brighter, and everyone was blinded by the light.
Jitang covered his eyes with his hands and squinted up at the sky.
The tentacles and eyeballs covered in the red dragon's flames kept exploding into pieces and falling into the swamp.
Although the demon beast was enormous, it was exceptionally agile. Ignoring the debris, it took advantage of the moment the two dragons broke free from their restraints to fly past, its demonic energy surging, and a blanket of gray mist enveloped them.
Ji Tang saw blood oozing out from the gaps in the dragon scales on the two dragons, and the scales were showing signs of peeling off.
Huanyue held her breath in shock. "Such a large-scale corrosive force... This demon beast might already have a demon core!"
No matter if it is a human, nightmare, dragon, demon or monster, one must cross the threshold from the spiritual silence stage to the golden elixir stage in order to form a pill.
Even with a conservative estimate, the monster is at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm, which Huan Mang and Jiu Xiao cannot contend with.
They couldn't see anything in the gray fog, and the only thing they could do was to eliminate as many tentacles and eyeballs as possible that emerged from the swamp.
If we can't share the pressure with them, then at least we have to eliminate their worries.
There was soon movement in the gray fog.
Two dragon roars sounded one after another, shaking everyone's ears so much that they hurt.
Immediately afterwards, two huge dragon shadows popped out.
The people who had been paying attention to them immediately discovered that the two dragons seemed to have lost their strength and were falling freely at an extremely fast speed.
Everyone flew up on their swords at the same time.
The members of the Qingmang Dragon Clan and the Tuowei Dragon Clan took on the red dragon and the green dragon respectively. The moment they took on the two dragons, they suddenly felt an icy cold air from the two dragons. The gray mist lingering on the two dragons then rushed onto everyone, and for a moment everyone felt severe pain all over their body.
Huan Mang was exhausted and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't come near me... The gray fog's corrosive power is too strong, hurry... leave..."
Huanyue gritted her teeth and insisted, "Stop talking!"
He turned to the crowd and said, "Those whose cultivation is below the Heartbeat Stage, fly away immediately. Everyone else, come with me to take the Young Master away!"
Su Jinzhou was in the heartbeat period, so staying here would be useless and would instead be seriously injured by the erosion of the gray fog.
But Jitang was already in the middle stage of being moved, and she needed to stay here and take Huanmang away with others.
Su Jinzhou was not too far away, just behind Jitang.
Dozens of people above the Heartbeat Stage worked together to support the red dragon with their spiritual power.
Huanmanglong was extremely heavy and full of corrosive power, so it was extremely difficult for them to protect him.
However, before Huanmang landed safely, the next round of attacks from the monster came again.
It continuously released corrosive force, leaving the dozen or so people who were already resisting the corrosive force from Huanmang with no time to put up resistance.
At this moment, the monster suddenly swooped down.
It was not until now that Ji Tang saw the monster's mouth - its mouth was hidden in its neck, blocked by dense tentacles. Now the tentacles moved to both sides, and its mouth was finally fully revealed.
The monster opened its mouth very wide and fell from above. Before everyone could react, a red dragon and a dozen members of the Qingmang dragon clan were swallowed into its mouth.
This also includes Jitang and Su Jinzhou.
Ji Tang only felt his back hit Su Jinzhou, and before he could see the scene clearly, the two of them fell down at an extremely fast speed.
The shouts of other Qingmang people gradually faded away until they disappeared completely.
They fell heavily onto a soft and elastic surface. There was no other sound around them except for each other's breathing.
"Are we in the body of a monster? Hiss—" Ji Tang gasped in pain.
Su Jinzhou staggered to his feet and went to pull Jitang again. "Does the monster also have corrosive power in its body, or is it that the mucus in its body has a corrosive effect?"
Ji Tang spread his legs and barely stood firm, took out a magic weapon from the storage bag, and injected nightmare energy into it. The magic weapon immediately emitted light and then formed a protective shield, covering the two of them.
Ji Tang: "This is a body shield, it can help us resist for a while. But this magic weapon is not made of precious materials. My cultivation level cannot compare with that of the monsters. Even if I can resist, I won't be able to hold out for long."
Su Jinzhou: "Just hold out for now, we need to find a way out as soon as possible."
Ji Tang looked up and saw a soft, almost vertical slide. They fell from there. It might be an organ in the monster's body, but Ji Tang couldn't tell what it was.
She looked at the vertical corridor and her expression didn't look any better.
She asked with great difficulty: "You said this couldn't be a monster...that..."
Su Jinzhou was also observing his surroundings: "What?"
Jitang: "Excretion outlet?"
Su Jinzhou: “…cough cough cough cough!”
Ji Tang was at a loss for words. After a moment, he sighed and said, "This time, it's all thanks to you. I've been practicing for many years longer than you, and my cultivation level is higher, but after entering the Misty Swamp, I relied on you. I didn't play any role at all."
Su Jinzhou comforted him, "Your reaction is normal. Those disgusting things..."
"vomit……"
"Okay, okay, I won't mention it anymore. Don't think about it that way!"
Ji Tang wiped the moisture from his eyes, relaxed, and studied with Su Jinzhou.
"This place is completely empty. All around is flesh covered in slime. It seems like there's nothing else there." Ji Tang took a closer look. "You know what? Even though the monster is gray, the flesh inside its body is actually pink and tender."
Su Jinzhou could only reply to her with "very observant".
The two tried to fly the sword, but the sword could not rise any further before it could get more than three feet.
They walked around in a circle but couldn't find any other way to go.
Flying the sword didn't work, so Su Jinzhou had no choice but to say, "If there's no other way to go, then we'll have to climb up, or cut through the flesh."
Ji Tang: "I don't know what's going on with Huan Mang and the others." She pointed at the pink flesh, "This is the flesh of a Jindan stage monster, how can it be so easy to break open."
Su Jinzhou looked up and said, "Looks like we really have to climb up."
Ji Tang was a little worried. "This tunnel is long and slippery, and there's no leverage. I think if we want to get up there, we'll have to rely on external forces. We do have swords, but they're too long and hard to maneuver... How about a dagger?"
She quickly pulled out two daggers from her storage bag. "These two are low-level magic weapons, cheap items sold at the cultivator market. But these are the only ones I can use to gain leverage. Want to try them?"
Su Jinzhou took one and opened the dagger's sheath. "It looks sharp. There's no other way. Let's use it!"
The two came to the pink meat near the corridor.
Ji Tang: "The body shield is so small, we can't move far away. Why don't I carry you on my back and I will slowly climb up with the dagger."
Su Jinzhou was stunned. "You're carrying me?"
His first reaction was to refuse, "I'll carry you!"
Ji Tang waved his hand, "I have a higher level of cultivation, so I can use magic weapons more easily than you can. The force that penetrates the flesh is also greater and stronger. It would be difficult for us to coordinate if we each hold one, so it would be more convenient for me to do it alone."
In the past few days, Su Jinzhou has been hit countless times because of his cultivation.
Whether from the perspective of self-esteem or past habits, he has always been in the front, but he never expected that he would be so weak that he had to be carried by a girl who was two sizes smaller than him.
He didn't look down on Jitang, but he just couldn't get over his own hurdle.
Ji Tang didn't know what he was thinking. He had already walked in front of him and leaned forward slightly, "Come up!"
Su Jinzhou had a complicated look in his eyes, but he couldn't take the first step.
Ji Tang couldn't understand his inner struggle. She just wanted to get out quickly. Before Su Jinzhou could move, she pulled Su Jinzhou back with her hand. With a big force, Su Jinzhou lay on her back.
Ji Tang was more than a head shorter than Su Jinzhou. Even if she straightened up, Su Jinzhou's feet would still be able to touch the ground.
This posture made Su Jinzhou extremely embarrassed.
Ji Tang grabbed both of his arms and put them around his neck, then put his hands around Su Jinzhou's legs and grabbed -
"you!"
"Oh sorry sorry!"
Ji Tang suddenly let go.
She hurriedly explained: "I wanted to grab your thigh, but you were too tall, so I grabbed your butt."
Su Jinzhou's face flushed: "..."
Ji Tang's hands moved down along the sides of his legs, but before he could touch the right spot, Su Jinzhou stopped him and said, "That's it!"
Ji Tang: "That won't work. You'll slide down soon."
Su Jinzhou no longer had time to care about his complicated emotions and said anxiously, "Then I'll kick the monster's fleshy legs!"
Jitang thought this was a good idea, "Okay, I'll catch him then."
Jitang couldn't see Su Jinzhou's expression.
And this is the only thing Su Jinzhou is thankful for now.
