The snake's mouth was wet, and Wang Xuan slipped as he jumped in.

Everything is for the sake of survival!

There's no other way; since we can't beat them, we'll just have to join them.

It's better than being bitten to death by the extraordinary serpent. Now, I have the choice... to join the baby snake's mouth. Perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope for survival.

However, the snake's mouth was truly foul-smelling, and Wang Xuan felt so nauseous from the stench that he almost vomited. For someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, this was like being torn to pieces.

He forced himself to breathe and took a few more breaths of fresh air outside.

The woman felt incredibly bitter; in the end, this was how she was going to die.

The other juvenile of the Silkworm Snake crawled over, its mouth wide open in a bloody maw. In the end, the woman actually followed Wang Xuan's example and jumped into the snake's mouth.

"Are you crazy? That native seems to have mastered a secret technique similar to Vajra Art. What about you?" the last surviving man shouted.

He was very excited, and in the end he even gestured to the Silkworm Snake, pointing it towards Wang Xuan.

"Puff!"

A large, adult snake bit him to death and then swallowed him whole.

Great Grandmaster- level cultivators are no match for Supernatural Being.

Wang Xuan took one last look at the outside world, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He had never imagined that such a day would come, that he would have to offer himself to the snakes.

The cubs are fierce; they devour animals whole!

Wang Xuan did not struggle; he remained motionless, like a piece of wood, allowing himself to be swallowed by the snake.

The warm belly of the snake is full of mucus that corrodes the human body and can even digest bones.

Wang Xuan discovered the long-haired bear from before, now a bloody mess that hadn't completely dissolved, and also a large feline that had been mostly digested.

He closed his eyes and perceived through his mental realm.

He didn't know how long he could hold his breath. In this terrifying environment filled with mucus and incredibly corrosive substances, his body emitted a faint golden light, protecting him from being digested.

In ancient times, Shakyamuni was swallowed by a peacock, but eventually emerged from its belly and attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.

Wang Xuan thought of this story and reassured himself that it was no big deal and there was nothing shameful about it!

Even the Buddha was swallowed, so what happened to him after experiencing something like this?

If he can get out alive, then he will be as famous as Buddha!

This can be considered as... mutual appreciation, reflecting each other, and witnessing the ancient scenery of today together.

Wang Xuan was mentally strong. Although he was swallowed up, he was not discouraged and kept comforting himself.

"At that time, Shakyamuni had not yet attained enlightenment. Was he really swallowed by a peacock? Not necessarily. It's possible that it was just a strange bird that was a bit bigger."

"What swallowed me? To draw an analogy, Buddha was a peacock, while what swallowed me was the Ancestral Dragon!"

Just as Wang Xuan was strengthening his inner self and constantly reinforcing his brilliant beliefs, he was suddenly attacked.

An adult Silkworm Snake used its Mental Power to probe and thoroughly search the abdomen of the young snake.

Wang Xuan fell silent, as the young snake's stomach contracted violently, continuously digesting him, and he dared not move.

At the same time, his spiritual realm dissipated, and he dared not confront it, fearing he might disturb the giant snake.

As for the openwork Protective Gear on his head, it had long since fallen off somewhere.

The supernatural monster's Mental Power was strong, but it seemed... just so-so? Wang Xuan felt a splitting headache, but it wouldn't kill him!

Faintly, I could hear movement coming from the belly of another cub; the woman seemed to be struggling.

He became alert, quickly rolled and struggled as well, and then fell silent again.

A moment later, the snakes stopped their rampage. It seemed they were wary of certain live prey and disposed of them in this way.

Wang Xuan was extremely quiet, enveloped in a hazy halo. At present, the Golden Body Art was his greatest reliance, and he only hoped that the giant snake would leave as soon as possible.

Soon after, the nest shook, and the male snake disappeared.

However, the mother snake remained motionless, basking in the sun outside the cave, her subtle yet menacing aura intimidating the entire area.

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour...

Wang Xuan waited for two whole hours. He began to feel unwell. After all, he was only a Grandmaster at the very peak level, and it was no easy feat for him to hold his breath for so long.

Why isn't the mother snake moving? He was getting anxious; if this continued, he would really be in trouble.

If he were to be reborn in another form, he would die with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

In the third hour, Wang Xuan decided to die together with the baby snake and kill it first.

At this moment, the two baby snakes moved, seemingly calling out, crawling around, calling to their mother snake, as if expressing their hunger.

Wang Xuan was almost ready to fight to the death, and finally the moment arrived. He felt the ground tremble, and the mother snake disappeared.

He extended a wisp of his spiritual domain, confirming that there was no longer any threat outside.

He drew his short sword, but instead of immediately cutting the snake's belly, he first used his mental domain to fiercely attack the young snake's consciousness, intending to knock it unconscious.

Otherwise, if the cub howls, it could easily lure the mother snake back immediately.

He went all out and suddenly attacked. Although the young beast had a strong physical body, its Mental Power was very weak. It collapsed instantly and fainted on the spot.

Wang Xuan brandished his sword and emerged from the snake's belly, breathing in fresh air the moment he did; he had almost suffocated inside the snake.

Then, he charged at the other young beast that had sensed him and was looking in his direction, using his mental domain to suppress it until it fainted and became motionless.

Wang Xuan took a deep breath; it was so good to be alive.

"In the first year of the Mitto Calendar, on the first day of the first month, Wang Xuan emerged from the belly of the Ancestral Dragon and attained enlightenment in the human world, desiring to compete with the Buddha!"

Despite the horrific tragedy that occurred today, and his near-death experience, he remained optimistic, offering a bright and uplifting conclusion to the event.

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath and ran away as fast as he could.

He was covered in a sticky substance and kept falling to the ground.

Wang Xuan knew that the Silkworm Snake was extremely fast at hunting and would return in no time.

In order to survive, he had to get away from the area as quickly as possible.

"Holy crap, that scoundrel is still alive! Look, he escaped from the supernatural lair, full of energy, and can take a stride of more than ten meters!"

In the distance, on a mountaintop, the man who had been forced to jump into the river by Wang Xuan screamed and called for his companions.

After the group fled, once the turmoil subsided, they returned, clinging to the hope that someone had escaped with their life.

As a result, after observing for half an hour, they saw the native with abnormal mental strength run out.

"He's still alive? Is this defying the heavens? I saw the giant serpent leave with my own eyes, how could they allow him to live until now!"

The group was incredulous and quite surprised.

"Look, he's covered in slime, and his battle suit is tattered and corroded beyond recognition."

The group was shocked and guessed how he had survived.

"That native is too ruthless! He hid inside the baby snake's belly, using his indestructible body to survive, and escaped while the giant snake was away!"

The group exchanged glances, made a hand gesture, and prepared to set off to begin their hunt.

"You may escape the snake's mouth, but you can't escape our hands!" someone said coldly.

Wang Xuan ran off at full speed, disgusted with himself for smelling so bad, with undigested bear flesh and blood still clinging to his shoulders.

He was covered in sticky residue, which made him want to vomit.

He knew it was deadly; he had left behind too much slime and odor along the way.

If the Silkworm Snake really wants to hunt him down, it will surely find him by following this scent.

"We need to wash away the smell."

Fortunately, there were many rivers and lakes in the dense forest, and he soon found a pool of water. He jumped in with a splash and washed himself.

"The locals are washing away the traces because they are worried about being chased by the mother snake. We shouldn't rush to hunt them; if we unfortunately run into the mother snake, it would be like taking the blame for them."

In the distance, several people stood on a mountain peak gazing into the distance. They did not pursue the enemy, remaining calm and deciding to guard the outer perimeter of this area.

Soon, Wang Xuan rushed out of the pool and washed himself mostly clean, but he still felt that there was still a lingering smell.

"There's no other way, unless I peel off a layer of skin." He slapped away the dozen or so strange fish that were biting him. He was just taking a bath, and all sorts of creatures in the pool were attacking him. Even if they couldn't bite him, they would still cling to him.

Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out. The commotion caused by the mother snake was earth-shattering, shattering large swathes of the forest, as she gave chase.

Both cubs fainted, which enraged the cat.

At the same time, the male snake was also enraged after hearing its scream.

The male snake was even more terrifying; it practically skimmed across the forest, as if flying, as it relentlessly pursued them.

Wang Xuan's head was as big as a bucket, and his hair stood on end. Could he possibly escape? He still felt that he had some lingering odor on him.

At the same time, he noticed something was wrong with him; he had a fever and his skin was burning hot.

Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to find red marks appearing on his skin, patch after patch, and at the same time, his eyesight seemed to have improved.

What's going on? In that instant, he thought of that bunch of Blood Grape. Could he really be turning into a demon?

In the distance, a huge explosion was heard. That male snake was terrifying, much more powerful than the female snake. It traversed the forest, landing on a low hill and causing the mountain wall to collapse.

It is using its extraordinary senses to sweep through the nearby mountains and forests.

The mother snake screamed, her ferocity overwhelming, startling all kinds of birds and beasts into fleeing, throwing the entire mountain range into chaos.

It seemed to be using a sharp cry to warn the male snake that something had happened to the two cubs.

Wang Xuan felt ice-cold all over. He believed that if nothing unexpected happened, he would most likely die, because his speed was nowhere near that of those two Supernatural Being.

As long as they follow the scent, they will surely find his trail.

He felt that his life was too bleak today, with one tribulation after another. He had just escaped from danger, but was about to fall into hell again.

He would most likely not be able to escape the deadly pursuit of the two extraordinary monsters.

Sure enough, amidst the deafening explosions in the forest, swathes of trees fell. The male snake, incredibly sharp-witted, leaped down from the mountaintop and chased after them.

"Da Wu, I haven't even gone to find your remains yet." Wang Xuan sighed. Was he really going to die here today?

"Qing Han, I hope you can return to New Star alive!" Wang Xuan did everything he could to escape.

"Old Zhong, I never got a chance to go inside your study. Golden Bamboo Slip, Five-Colored Jade Book, what a pity!"

Wang Xuan hardened his heart and ran towards that special mountain area. He had no other choice but to fight for his life and make a final gamble.

In that Misty Realm, at the center of this region, eight extraordinary monsters have built their nests around it!

"I promised to return to my Old Earth within three years, how could I possibly die here!" Wang Xuan whispered.

The scenery rushed past him as he charged headlong into the desolate place.

Behind us, the two extraordinary monsters had appeared; their enormous figures were already visible. Sure enough, we had followed the scent to the vicinity.

"Let me see what's in this in the Deadly Peril. As long as I survive, I'll come back and settle accounts with you all!"

Wang Xuan strode forward, approaching this silent and strange place. At the edge of this place, all was quiet, not even the chirping of insects could be heard.

He turned around and saw the male snake's enormous body flying close to the ground, its cold, ruthless, and cruel gaze already locked onto him.

Boom!

The enormous snake's body landed, causing the ground to crack and shattering the tranquility of the place.

Then, the mother snake arrived, stood upright, and looked down at Wang Xuan.

"I will not die, the world is still waiting for me to shine!" Wang Xuan said, and resolutely took a step into the mist!

Thanks to Sister Corn's alt account three, thank you for your support, Alliance Leader!
