There was no corrosive digestive fluid, as Grimm had imagined.
The interior of the gigantic beast was extremely spacious, and at the same time, it looked very stable. Glenn was inside the somewhat humid and stuffy body of the gigantic beast, but he did not feel any external movement of the gigantic beast.
This reminded Grimm of the Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern in the Shadow Enigmatic World.
Of course, this creature could not be compared to the Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern. The Great Bloodfalls Lavawyvern was at least a Level-1 creature. The creature that Grimm sensed was just a large beast.
Perhaps its senses were too weak. This fellow actually had the guts to swallow a terrifying Level-2 creature into its body.
This was no different from seeking death.
Grimm's body was still very weak. After some thought, he simply settled down in this spacious monster's body. He planned to recover before breaking out of the body and searching for the node of this world.
Hugging the Sabbatic Goat Staff, Grimm leaned against the monster's body. He actually closed his eyes slightly and started a light meditation.
After a while.
Grimm suddenly opened his eyes. It turned out that a two-meter-long spherical creature had also been swallowed into the monster's stomach.
This spherical creature's body was covered in a layer of yellow sand. It seemed to be used for camouflage. It was also a layer of protection for low-level creatures that could not be ignored.
The creature from the foreign world was in despair. It continuously rammed against the walls of the giant beast that was swallowing it, producing muffled echoes. However, it was to no avail.
If any creature could escape from the giant beast's stomach, then this was a creature that had failed to evolve. It should have gone extinct a long time ago.
This despairing creature seemed to know that it was hopeless. After growling at Grimm in a low voice, it stopped moving. It looked like it had accepted its fate and was waiting for death.
Grimm closed his eyes.
It was just a low-level creature with a little bit of instinctive intelligence. Grimm ignored it. He was not in the mood to waste time collecting specimens for now.
A moment later, a group of mischievous squirrel-like creatures slithered in while shrieking.
The little guys screamed and tried to crawl out of the entrance again, but it was impossible. After struggling for a while, the little guys gave up on the pointless struggle. They surrounded a large brown squirrel and squeaked softly.
Just like that, one creature after another was swallowed by the behemoth. These despairing creatures were obviously the same as Grimm. They did not come in willingly, and the giant hand was not kind enough to invite Grimm and the others to be its guests.
In other words, the way this beast digested food should be extremely unique and out of the ordinary.
In the eyes of the other creatures that had been swallowed, Grimm was an extremely strange and unknown creature. None of them were willing to approach him.
As time passed, Glenn's physical condition was constantly recovering as he went from shallow meditation to deep meditation.
Suddenly, Grimm was woken up by a wave of external malice.
When he opened his eyes, Grimm realized that he was surrounded by all kinds of small creatures. A black three-tailed giant scorpion with a pair of ferocious eyes was crawling over. Its eyes were cold and cruel, and its pair of giant pincers were majestically swallowing the head of a small squirrel.
Bam!
Suddenly, Grimm's Sabbatic Goat Staff turned into a blur and directly smashed the head of the three-tailed giant scorpion that had disturbed Grimm's meditation recovery. Under the Mask of Truth, there was a tinge of anger in the cold eyes.
The sudden turn of events stunned the group of small creatures.
After a short moment of silence, these small creatures fled in all directions like frightened birds. They did not dare to stay around the terrifying creature, Grimm, for even a moment longer.
After the anger gradually subsided, Grimm was about to meditate again, but he suddenly felt a little hungry.
He did not know how much time had passed in Mount Serpentine because there should be some kind of unequal distortion between the time perception there and the outside world. However, after Grimm discovered that he could use the Awakening Ray to cast witchcraft, and with some food stored in the Dimensional Gap, he gave up on relying on devouring the corpses of other creatures on Mount Serpentine to survive.
After all, in that kind of environment, unless Grimm drank the external resources known as the Spring of Serpentine, which was actually the Blood of the Tainted Eye, he would have to eat frequently to maintain the energy circulation between himself and the Endless World.
At this time, Grimm's food in the Dimensional Gap had been depleted. This was also one of the reasons why Grimm was unwilling to continue collecting the Blood of the Tainted Eye in Mount Serpentine.
Standing up, Grimm walked towards the black three-tailed giant scorpion.
The three-tailed giant scorpion's head had already been smashed by Grimm's magic staff. After thinking for a while, Grimm actually tore off one of the giant scorpion's pincers, intending to eat it.
Looking at the white flesh in Grimm's hand, the quality of the flesh seemed to be good.
However, Grimm frowned because there were purple parasites crawling in the flesh like earthworms.
When Sorcerers were still Sorcerer-Apprentices, they had already broken away from the cognitive psychology of ordinary humans and had lost their subjective feelings of fear or disgust towards these parasites.
The reason why Grimm frowned was because he had to spend a little more time to make two portions of food from the original one.
On one hand, Grimm did not want to waste too much time. On the other hand, he had to distinguish the scorpion meat from the parasites. Sorcerers were really strange creatures that could not be understood.
Some flames appeared in Grimm's hand. The temperature was very low, and he slowly roasted the scorpion's pincer.
Gradually, purple parasites crawled out of the scorpion's flesh one after another. After being collected by Grimm, he actually planned to make a pot of soup.
Of course, he did not forget to add Grimm's favorite pepper and some other spices into the soup.
* Whoosh … *
After finishing his delicious meal, Grimm put the cutlery back into the Dimensional Gap. He glanced at the group of trembling creatures from the foreign world and ignored them. Once again, he closed his eyes and seized the time to meditate and recover.
On one hand, Grimm wanted to recover as soon as possible. On the other hand, compared to collecting specimens here, Grimm was more interested in the digestive system of this giant beast that had swallowed him into its stomach!
This giant beast clearly had no intention of stopping the various creatures in its body from killing each other.
Since they were already in its stomach, the amount of food would not change. Perhaps to it, for the creatures in its stomach to attack, kill, and devour each other was more beneficial to digestion?
Time passed.
When Grimm woke up again, he was woken up by the screams of all the creatures in the giant beast's body. When he opened his eyes, he saw that there were golden beetles the size of fingernails crawling all over him. They began to attack, bite, and devour these creatures.
There were tens of thousands of golden beetles. It was a terrifying scene that made one despair!
However, what surprised Grimm was that these beetles clearly did not have any special abilities. Compared to the creatures that had been swallowed by the giant beast, they were not very strong. However, these creatures seemed to have given up on resisting. Their bodies were limp on the ground and did not move, allowing the golden beetles to devour them. All of them looked bloody.
"What's going on? Could it be … hmm?! "
Grimm seemed to have sensed something, and his eyes were filled with shock.
The gadflies in his body had actually suffered a strange attack. It seemed to be some kind of insect language attack, but it also seemed to be some kind of deep malicious curse!
It was no wonder that Grimm was shocked. Grimm had never heard of such an attack before.
The gadflies in Grimm's body had gone through more than two hundred years of selection and nurturing when he was an official Magus. After undergoing a strange evolution under the Shadow World's Lightning Mirror, they had gained the ability to mutate forcefields. Now, after hundreds of years of meticulous nurturing by Grimm, they were many times stronger than the natural gadflies.
However, at this moment, the gadflies in Grimm's body seemed to have suffered some kind of attack and were unable to resist at all. They were extremely weak.
Grimm looked at the creatures that were being eaten by the golden beetles. He could not help but think of a possibility.
Could it be …
Grimm's body ignited with raging flames. After expelling the golden beetles around him, he went to the side of a small creature that was being eaten by a golden beetle and carefully observed it.
His eyes flashed under the Mask of Truth. As expected, Grimm found the green, clumsy meat bug in the body of this small creature.
Then, Grimm went to the side of another creature.
In the bodies of the other creatures, different kinds of strange bugs appeared one after another. They were being devoured by the golden beetles, powerless to resist, and looked extremely weak.
It seemed like these golden beetles were the nemesis of all bugs.
"This is a world controlled by parasites?!"
Grimm guessed in surprise.
It was not hard to explain why these creatures were powerless to resist and were being devoured by the golden beetles. It was because they were already controlled by the parasites in their bodies, and the parasites in their bodies were powerless to resist the attacks of the golden beetles.
However, Grimm was completely different.
Although Grimm's gadflies had also suffered from an unknown attack and were powerless to resist, Grimm's body was not affected much. He only temporarily lost the ability to mutate forcefields.
This was the fundamental difference between the evolution of different creatures in two different worlds.
