Splitter pushed away the boulders at the entrance of the cave and drilled into the cave.
Dean quickly drilled into the pile of corpses. He hid under a few corpses and held his breath.
The sound of Splitter's body rushing into the cave could be heard. His sharp blade scratched against the rock wall and stopped in front of the pile of corpses. Very quickly, a crashing sound could be heard and a large number of monster corpses were poured out.
Dean felt that more and more corpses were rolling down and pressing on top of the corpses. He was secretly relieved. The more corpses he had, the higher the sense of security he had.
Splitter didn't move again. The cave was silent. Dean's heart tightened as if a pair of terrifying and fierce eyes were staring at his hiding place.
His heart was pounding as he held his breath.
Time passed in silence for two or three minutes.
Dean felt that he was out of breath. He didn't dare to continue to hold his breath as he didn't want to cause any movement. He boldly inhaled the air into his mouth to replace the carbon dioxide and oxygen in his lungs.
He was extremely careful throughout the process. His whole body was tense and he didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
There was dead silence in the cave.
Dean felt that he could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat. It seemed that he had caused a great movement which made him more nervous.
Time ticked by.
Dean's tight muscles gradually became sore. He slowly relaxed but still carefully replaced his breath. In this silence, he even suspected that the splitter had left the cave.
After a long time, Dean heard a slight friction sound. It was rough and harsh. He waited for a moment but didn't see any follow-up movement. He was a little relieved. He secretly smiled in his heart. Splitter should be tired from hunting so it slept next to the pile of corpses. He didn't know how long this kind of monster's work and rest cycle was. If it slept for a few days then he would be unlucky.
In this long silence, Dudian's taut body could no longer hold on. Gradually, he felt sleepy. Although he knew that he wouldn't snore when he slept, but in this dangerous environment, it was difficult to fall asleep.
However, fear could not overcome the desire to sleep.
Dean had been fighting for a whole day when he encountered the splitter. First he had lured the magic claw crocodile, then he had killed the double-headed snake lizard. He had lured other monsters back and forth to help him consume his energy. Now his body was injured and he had lost a lot of blood. He was physically and mentally exhausted. He had persisted for more than an hour before he was swept away by sleepiness and fell asleep.
In the darkness, countless rotting faces roared and reached out with pale white fingers.
When he woke up again, it was with a start.
Dean suddenly opened his eyes. In the dream, his body was trying to avoid the claws of the evil spirits. The moment he woke up, his body subconsciously trembled. As soon as he shook his consciousness, his pores shrank again. It was as if time had stopped for two or three seconds. He felt that there was no movement outside. The tightened pores slowly loosened. It seemed that splitter was sleeping very well and wasn't disturbed.
Dean was secretly glad. He adjusted his breathing and lay quietly in the pile of corpses. He felt the cold and hard corpses of the other monsters. He never thought that he would stay in such a purgatory for so long. Moreover, there was a horrible monster crawling next to him.
"No wonder hunters want to retire in the giant wall once they make money. They don't want to step out of the giant wall. Even if the area has been cleaned, it may not be safe. But it's relatively safe. Even if the risk factor is reduced to 10%, I will still die if I encounter danger once out of ten times …" Dean secretly sighed. He suddenly felt that he should stay in the 'Temple of Elements' to make his own invention. The money he earned was far higher than the hunters. This time he had hunted a high-level monster like the double-headed snake lizard. The materials he got from its body were worth at most a few thousand gold coins.
The only way to make money was to hunt some high-priced monsters. Of course, the most profitable way was to hunt the named monsters. But it was purely luck. Only a few hunters with extremely rich hunting experience had figured out a way to track the named monsters. They could increase the probability of hunting the named monsters. But in the process of tracking, they often had to venture into some dangerous areas or territories of other monsters.
The most dangerous part of hunting outside the giant wall was not fighting with the monsters but wandering around!
There was a trace of regret and regret in Dean's heart. But he knew that God wouldn't give him a second chance to choose. Even if there was a second chance, he would still choose to come out of the giant wall. But he would be more cautious, think more carefully, and use more methods to avoid encountering monsters that wandered around and preyed on their prey.
"The areas that people divide are the areas in the eyes of humans. But in the eyes of the monsters, the entire outside the giant wall is a hunting area …" Dean's heart was bitter as he secretly sighed.
The silent and stiff waiting was long and boring. But there was an existence that could take away his life at any time. Dean didn't know how much time had passed. He felt a little hungry. At the same time, there were bursts of pain and itching from his wound. The paralysis toxin on the blade of the splitter had long lost its effectiveness. He slightly bit his teeth and resisted the urge to use his hand to grab the wound.
After more than ten hours, Dean felt a pain in his stomach. Fortunately, he was quite patient. He knew that if he continued to be hungry, his stomach would become numb and soon he wouldn't feel uncomfortable anymore.
The fact was indeed as he thought. The hunger in his stomach quickly disappeared, but occasionally it would reappear.
Dean knew that the splitter was still in the cave. If it went out to hunt while he was asleep, then it would have been back by now. So he didn't dare to act rashly.
Time passed slowly as he endured.
Two days later.
Dean felt that the splitter was still sleeping in the cave. It hadn't woken up yet. This made him a little flustered. Did it go into hibernation from now on?
After two days of patience, he felt hungry. There seemed to be a strange feeling in the wound on his stomach. But he couldn't tell how strange it was.
Dean was dizzy from hunger as he smelled the stench of the corpses around him. He twisted his head and stuck his face to the unknown monster's corpse. He gently bit off a small cluster of flesh and slowly chewed it. He tried not to make a sound and swallowed it. He couldn't feel any taste on his tongue. He only felt that it was very delicious. Even the fishy smell of the flesh was able to arouse his appetite.
It was as if he had degenerated into a primitive barbarian.
