Sensing the foul wind behind him, Ye Ling turned without hesitation and threw a punch!
Bang!!!
Ye Ling's fist landed squarely on the head of the colossal beast, sending it flying backward.
However, before Ye Ling could pursue, the beast vanished into the darkness once more. Due to his excessive exertion, the wound he had just bandaged, along with the gash the jailer had made on his collarbone with a scythe, burst open with blood again, drenching his clothes!
"Damn it, my spiritual energy is sealed, I can't use my creation power. Am I forced to fight with only one arm?"
Ye Ling endured the pain from his wounds, his entire body covered in sweat...
"This situation is truly dire..."
Ye Ling murmured, closing his eyes this time, concentrating all his mental energy to pinpoint the beast's location using his hearing.
As Ye Ling focused all his senses on his hearing, he could faintly discern the slightest whisper of wind in the silent cell!
"Is that... the sound of wind generated by the beast moving at high speed?"
Ye Ling managed to hear the faint sound of wind, and immediately focused his attention on capturing the airflow, gradually sketching the beast's form in his mind.
"It's about ten meters long, four-legged, with a tail... covered in fur, its form resembling a crocodile, but possessing fangs like a venomous snake..."
Ye Ling muttered, gradually simulating the beast's appearance in his mind. He then predicted the beast's movement path and threw a punch into the darkness!
Bang!!!
Ye Ling's fist struck the beast's fang, shattering it!
However, Ye Ling's fist and arm bone were also completely pulverized by this strike!
"Roar—!"
With one of its fangs broken, the beast let out a painful howl, its eyes snapping open as it lunged at Ye Ling with extreme speed.
Seeing the beast lunge, Ye Ling could only throw himself to the side with all his might. He rolled a few times on the ground, narrowly evading the beast's pounce and bite.
"Its fang should have fallen somewhere around here..."
Ye Ling quickly got to his feet. His shattered right arm hung limply, no longer capable of exerting any strength.
The reason Ye Ling risked his only functional right arm to shatter the beast's fang was not simply to prevent it from devouring him, but because... the beast's fang was the only weapon Ye Ling could think of at the moment.
Facing the beast's tough hide, Ye Ling's bare fists stood no chance of penetrating its defenses. The sharp fang, however, offered Ye Ling an opportunity to strike at the beast's vital points!
Ye Ling rapidly calculated the likely location of the beast's fallen fang based on the force and direction of his recent punch, and then sprinted towards where the fang was expected to land!
"Roar—!"
After missing its target, the beast lunged at Ye Ling again with incredible speed.
In an instant, the beast caught up to the heavily injured Ye Ling in the darkness!
Feeling the rush of wind behind him, Ye Ling's eyes sharpened. He lunged forward, bit down on the shattered fang he had broken, and quickly turned to face the charging beast!
The beast opened its massive maw and swallowed Ye Ling whole!
Swallowing Ye Ling, the beast clamped its jaws together, attempting to chew and swallow him. However, as soon as its mouth closed, it felt a sharp object pierce its upper palate!
"Roar—!"
The beast cried out in pain and let out a piercing scream. It thrashed its tongue frantically, trying to expel Ye Ling. But Ye Ling, biting down hard on the beast's fang, braced his legs against the beast's lower jaw and forcefully drove the beast's fang through its upper palate and into its skull!
A torrent of blood filled the beast's mouth, engulfing Ye Ling. Seizing the opportunity, Ye Ling absorbed the blood, extracting the spiritual energy within.
However, this time, Ye Ling did not convert the extracted spiritual energy into his devouring domain or ink. Instead, he transformed it into creation power to heal his injuries!
Ye Ling was already suffering from severe blood loss and had lost both arms. If he didn't heal his wounds immediately, he wouldn't be able to break the seal imposed by the masked man; he would die right here!
After repairing his arms, Ye Ling finally released his bite. With his hands gripping the beast's fang, he roared, "Die!!!"
Hiss!!!
Ye Ling, wielding the beast's fang, pierced through the beast's skull!
The struggling beast instantly lost all mobility, collapsing onto the cold floor, its blood pooling and twisting around.
The beast's fang flew out from the hole in its head. Ye Ling, covered in blood, crawled out from the wound on the beast's head and sat on its skull, panting heavily.
"Finally killed this beast... I almost died here. I wonder what kind of creature this is, so ferocious," Ye Ling muttered, quickly extracting the beast's blood to replenish his depleted strength.
"Now that I've dealt with Gor and this ferocious beast in the dungeon, there's only one left. I need to prepare myself properly."
Ye Ling spoke to himself while sitting on the beast's head. Suddenly, he heard another "drip" sound, causing his pupils to contract sharply.
"This is!!!"
Ye Ling's entire body trembled. He violently turned his gaze towards the source of the "drip" sound and saw another pair of golden eyes opening in the darkness!
Then, more golden eyes appeared in the darkness, encircling Ye Ling.
And above those beasts, a pair of eyes ten times larger than all the golden eyes opened in the darkness.
Ye Ling, sitting on the beast's head, stared blankly at the massive eyes in the darkness, his expression somewhat dazed.
Did I... just kill a prisoner, not a calamity prisoner?
"Human, you killed one of my children..."
As Ye Ling stood stunned, a chilling voice echoed from ahead, sending a bone-chilling coldness through him.
"These guys..." Ye Ling glanced at the dense cluster of golden eyes surrounding him and looked at the giant eyes with disbelief, "Are they all your children?"
"When I was imprisoned, I happened to be pregnant," the giant fierce beast stated calmly. "It's just that there's no spiritual energy in this dungeon, so they couldn't grow, and their intelligence is extremely low, no different from ordinary wild beasts."
Ye Ling immediately got off the beast's head and smiled at the giant fierce beast, "Brother... this is all a misunderstanding!"
"It matters not," the giant fierce beast replied indifferently. "My children, lacking intelligence, were destined not to grow and could only become my food."
"Since you killed one of my children... then you..."
"Shall become my food."
Ye Ling's expression changed drastically!
