Almost the instant the impact occurred, before the pod had even fully stopped, Lin Yi felt an intense sense of danger.
"Boom! Crack!"
The sturdy wall of the shuttle pod was violently torn open from the outside by an overwhelming force.
A huge claw covered in dark-red scales thrust into the cabin, accompanied by a heavy stench. Its target was Lin Yi's head.
The attack came so quickly, as if these monsters had been waiting there all along for their "prey" to appear.
Lin Yi's pupils narrowed. His heart tightened.

But at that moment, those ten meters offered him no safety at all.
Below, the entire basin seemed to come alive, turning into a sea of monsters.
Everywhere he looked, grotesque creatures in every shape and size poured out like boiling sewage from cracks in the rocks, underground caves,
