Swish——

A green vine wrapped around Allen's waist with a sharp whistle and forcefully dragged him downward.

Qin Tian's voice, mixed with the sound of the wind, reached his ears, carrying a hint of helplessness: "Why are you getting involved in this, boy? Can't you just stay put?"

Allen swung along the vine to Qin Tian's side, grabbed his shoulder with a grin, revealing two rows of white teeth: "I'm usually pretty lucky, maybe this time my luck will help us both survive."

Qin Tian looked at the light flickering in his eyes and shook his head with a smile.

Oh well, this must be what they call the confidence of the fortunate.

In front of them, the Mining Beast's saw-toothed giant mouth was slowly closing, its sharp edges colliding with a crisp "click——" sound.

Qin Tian didn't feel much fear; he was just entangled by the Shadow Moon House and Xia Shangji a moment ago, but who said he couldn't open a Void Gate inside the Giant Beast?

Due to this accident, a bold idea flashed in his mind: if he encountered another Giant Beast of similar size in the future, could he directly open a Void Gate and enter its body to dismantle it from within?

"Click——"

The Mining Beast's giant mouth completely closed, the last trace of outside light swallowed thoroughly, and the thick darkness engulfed everyone like ink.

Qin Tian's pupils emitted a faint purple glow in the dark, capturing the surroundings.

The Mining Beast's abdominal cavity was not a simple flesh cavity; rather, it resembled an esophagus of a living creature layered with countless metal fragments, its inner walls reflecting a cold, metallic sheen with a nauseating writhing motion.

Countless jagged protrusions lined the inner walls, opening and closing with the esophagus's contractions, gleaming like metal cutting tools, evidently designed to grind any prey entering the stomach to pieces.

Qin Tian reacted swiftly, holding onto Allen, maneuvering skillfully through the gaps between the protrusions, his toes touching the saw-toothed edges to gain momentum for a jump.

However, the rest of the Shadow Moon House members weren't so fortunate; apart from the leader in black robes barely shielding the vital areas with Spiritual Energy, the others didn't have time to react before getting severed by the abruptly closing saw teeth.

The screams didn't even last for half a breath before turning into a mist of blood, with remnants of bodies and entrails falling into the depths of the esophagus.

Xia Shangji, leveraging the foundation of a Tier Six Spiritualist, used Dark Energy to form a shield, enduring several strikes, yet still got several bone-deep wounds from the saw teeth, with the shield sizzling against the metal teeth's friction.

At this moment, a strong sense of weightlessness emanated from the end of the esophagus—they had fallen into the Mining Beast's stomach.

"Splash!"

Qin Tian and Allen landed heavily on a sticky, slippery ground, the surface soft and icy cold, sinking under their feet, with something wriggling underneath.

Qin Tian quickly surveyed the surroundings; the space was larger than expected, resembling a giant cavern wrapped in flesh and blood.

Countless blood vessel-like meat cords hung from the cavern ceiling, a pale green viscous liquid slowly flowing on the ground, exuding a putrid stench, its surface floating with foam, with bubbles occasionally bursting with a "pssst" corrosive sound.

More chilling was the myriad of tiny "rustling" noises in the darkness, as if innumerable small insects were crawling through the bones.

Focusing intently, Qin Tian discovered they were tiny tendrils shedding from the Mining Beast's gastric wall, dragging all digestible substances into a deeper digestive pool like maggots.

Xia Shangji turned pale at the hellish scene before his eyes.

The man in black robes remained somewhat composed, yet his body under the cloak trembled slightly, clearly intimidated by the terrifying environment.

Gurgle~

At this moment, the gastric wall suddenly contracted violently, countless meat cords snapped taut, striking toward them, while the green liquid on the ground began to churn, like boiling poison.

"Quick! Open the Void Gate and get us out!" the hoarse voice of the black-robed man resounded amidst the gastric wall's writhing, his wrist flicking, and several pitch-black chains shot out like serpents, tightly wrapping around Qin Tian's body, the runes on the chain almost embedding into his flesh.

Though his face under the cloak was indiscernible, the hand gripping the chain's end was bone-white from exertion. ​

Xia Shangji also shouted, his Shadow Touch swelling several feet under his Spiritual Power, entwining Qin Tian's arm, locking his movements firmly: "If you dare ignore us, I'll drag you into being digested with this monster, even if it means my soul's annihilation!"

The blood on his face had long been bleached by the stomach's fetid odor, leaving only a frantic desperation. ​

Qin Tian glanced down at the chains and tendrils wrapped around him, suddenly chuckling softly.

The laughter echoed in the viscous darkness, carrying a hint of mockery: "Why so hurried? If you want to be bound with me, let's stay a while longer." ​

Being dragged initially was simply because he was concerned for Allen, Xiong, and the Poisonous Widow's safety; now, amidst this dire situation, he no longer felt restrained. ​

"Are you insane?!" the black-robed man exclaimed in a mix of anger and fear, "If we don't leave now, we'll all be dissolved into mush by these gastric juices!" ​

Before he finished speaking, the gastric wall's contractions suddenly intensified, while the green liquid on the ground surged dramatically. ​

"This isn't good!" Xia Shangji's pupils contracted sharply. ​

The dark green gastric liquid rose like tidal seawater, climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly becoming a towering wave several meters high, carrying numerous corrosive bubbles, crashing toward them. ​

"Allen, hold tight!" Qin Tian ordered in a low voice, as the Soul-Devouring Demon Vine around him exploded into action. ​
