The expressions on Gu Yu and the others' faces became remarkably vivid when Gouzi was suddenly swallowed by the Soul Devouring Beast.
This had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations.
Originally, everyone had thought the Soul Devouring Beast looked harmless enough, even somewhat cute, and showed no aggressive tendencies, so they had not paid it much attention.
Yet none of them had expected the Soul Devouring Beast to suddenly attack.
"That's such a big Gouzi... gone." Xueli spoke with a stunned expression.
"Yeah, he got eaten!" Gu Yu nodded.
Realizing the problem, everyone's expressions became extremely serious. They spread out and prepared for battle.
But just as everyone was about to attack, the Soul Devouring Beast's expression suddenly changed. Its body swelled, and after opening its mouth wide—
"Ptoo... ptoo ptoo ptoo!"
To everyone's astonishment, Gouzi, covered from head to toe in slime, was spat out by the Soul Devouring Beast.
Then, while Gouzi stood there with a completely bewildered look on his face, the Soul Devouring Beast spat three mouthfuls of slime at him, drenching him all over.
Then, amid everyone's confusion, the Soul Devouring Beast suddenly curled into a ball and bounced away into the distance, seemingly no longer interested in them.
"Fuck, that's so disgusting!" Gouzi cried out miserably once he came to his senses, then walked toward the others.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly backed away, afraid he might rub against them.
"Gouzi, what happened? Weren't you eaten?" Gu Yu asked, looking at Gouzi in confusion.
"I have no idea what happened. After I was swallowed, my health started dropping rapidly. Then the Game Notification said my soul was being devoured, then it showed devouring immunity, and right after that, I was spat out!" As he spoke, Gouzi took out a bottle of mineral water from his inventory
