Seeing the dog being swallowed by the Soul-devouring Beast, Gu Yu and the others were shocked.
This was out of everyone's expectation.
At first, they thought that the Soul-devouring Beast looked harmless and cute. Moreover, it did not have any tendency to attack, so they did not take it seriously.
However, they did not expect the Soul-devouring Beast to attack suddenly.
"Such a big dog … it's gone," Xue Li said with a shocked expression.
"Yes, it's been eaten!" Gu Yu nodded.
…
Realizing the problem, everyone's expression became serious. They spread out and got ready for battle.
However, just as they were about to attack, the Soul-devouring Beast's expression suddenly changed. Its body expanded and it opened its mouth.
"Pui … pui pui pui!"
To everyone's surprise, the Soul-devouring Beast spat out the dog who was covered in mucus.
At this moment, the Soul-devouring Beast spat out three mouthfuls of mucus on the dog while he was still in a daze.
Then, to everyone's confusion, the Soul-devouring Beast suddenly shrunk into a ball and bounced away, as if it did not care about the group anymore.
"What the f * ck, it's so disgusting!" The dog reacted and let out a scream, then walked toward the group.
Seeing this, everyone quickly retreated, afraid that they would be touched.
"Dog, what's going on? Weren't you eaten? "At this moment, Gu Yu looked at the dog and asked with a puzzled expression.
"I don't know what happened either. After I was swallowed, my health started to decrease rapidly. Then, the game indicated that my soul was being devoured, then it showed that I was exempted from devouring, and then I was spat out!" As he spoke, the dog took out a bottle of mineral water from the channel and started to wash his body with his back facing the group.
"It must not be to your taste. Didn't you see that it spat at you after spitting you out? It looked disgusted!" Seeing that the dog was fine, Wang Damang could not help but snicker.
The dog was speechless.
At this moment, the dog felt very sad. Why did he always encounter such unlucky things?
Looking at the direction where the Soul-devouring Beast disappeared, the dog could not help but grit his teeth.
This was a grudge that he would remember!
"Let's move forward. Once we find the target, kill it as soon as possible. Then, we will explore the direction of the Demonic Ape Clan. Don't waste any more time," Gu Yu said.
Gou 'zi nodded. After washing off all the mucus on his body, he shook his body in a practiced manner, causing water to splash in all directions. Then, Gou 'zi returned to the group.
…
After a brief interlude, the group continued to advance deeper into the forest.
However, everyone now understood that the Soul-Devouring Beast was definitely not as simple as it looked.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Since the Soul Devouring Beasts and the Devil Ape Clan could each occupy half of the Purgatory Dao's Second Domain, how could they be creatures that only knew how to act cute?
Therefore, as they continued to move forward, everyone became very vigilant.
However, as the team continued walking, they suddenly felt that something was amiss.
From the looks of it … the number of members in the guild was increasing!
"Stop for a moment. Everyone, pay attention to the team and see if anyone has sneaked in!" Gu Yu, who was the leader, immediately turned around and said in the live chat channel.
When everyone heard this, they immediately began to observe their surroundings.
Soon, everyone discovered the problem. At this time, there were actually a few people in the team who looked exactly the same.
Faced with this situation, everyone already had a guess in their hearts and immediately activated their analysis ability.
Just as they thought, there were more than ten Soul Devouring Beasts mixed into the group.
This time, the Soul Devouring Beast did not transform into a dog, but into a human like them.
It was so realistic!
Xue Li strode through the crowd and arrived in front of a Soul Devouring Beast that looked exactly like her. She pinched her face.
At this time, Xue Li (fake) also turned around and looked at Xue Li. Then, she suddenly swallowed her in one gulp.
This swallowing seemed to be the bugle call to launch an attack. The surrounding Soul Devouring Beasts locked onto the changing target and flew over to swallow it.
Gu Yu's heart tightened. He immediately said in the live chat channel,
"Disperse and prepare for battle!"
Upon hearing Gu Yu's order, everyone quickly dispersed. The knight players from the European server took the lead and launched a close-range charge. With a flash of black light on their bodies, they violently crashed into the Soul Devouring Beasts at the side.
The battle was about to start. Gu Yu and the others did not stop and decisively chose to attack.
However, to everyone's surprise, these Soul Devouring Beasts did not choose to fight back after being attacked. Instead, they squatted on the ground with a painful expression and transformed into their original Soul Devouring Beast forms. After that, they spat out the players that were swallowed and finally hopped away with a look of disgust.
All the players were speechless.
At this moment, apart from Sun Qi who was laughing, everyone was dumbfounded. They had no idea why the Soul Devouring Beasts were doing this.
If you want to eat it, then eat it. But spit it out with a look of disgust after eating it. Who are you looking down on!
"I think I roughly understand!" At this time, Xue Li suddenly said.
"What's going on?" Gu Yu and the others immediately looked at her.
"Soul Devouring Beast, literally, is a creature that devours souls. However, in this game, Battle Royale, we players have a very important setting, which is that we don't have souls … It seems like that's the case. Therefore, all attacks on souls are ineffective against us. After I was swallowed just now, I also received the same game notification as Sun Qi. Therefore, the Soul Devouring Beasts must have lost interest in us because they couldn't devour souls!"
Upon hearing this, everyone pondered for a while and a look of realization appeared on their faces.
This also explained why the Soul Devouring Beasts were very interested in them in the beginning. However, after swallowing them, they had a look of disgust. Obviously, it was because they couldn't devour their souls!
"Does this mean that we don't have to worry about safety at all?" Jason in the group asked curiously.
Xue Li listened and nodded.
"It seems like it because the Soul Devouring Beasts don't like us at all. Even if we were swallowed, with our current HP, it's not a problem for us to sustain for a few seconds. After that, we just have to wait for it to spit us out!"
Upon hearing Xue Li's analysis, everyone in the group suddenly became a little excited.
Ever since they stepped into the Second Precinct of the Naraka Realm, safety had always been their biggest problem at this stage.
After all, if they were sent back to Beiqi or Cangxu after dying once, they would have to spend more than ten days on the road again. It was definitely a torture. This was also the reason why they didn't want to simply fight with the Soul Devouring Beasts before. They wanted to avoid all risks.
Now that they knew that their safety was guaranteed, everyone was very happy.
"This is just a guess. Let's be more careful. Let's move forward and help Jason find a Ghost Emperor Intermediate Stage Soul Devouring Beast as soon as possible!" Gu Yu said.
Everyone listened and nodded with a smile. Then, the group moved forward again.
However, soon, everyone in the group could not laugh anymore.
This was because along the way, they would always encounter new Soul Devouring Beasts. These Soul Devouring Beasts would also approach them curiously. Then, they would change their forms and start to interact with them. However, their ultimate goal was to swallow them and have a taste.
However, when they couldn't devour any souls, these Soul Devouring Beasts would always spit them out in disgust and run away.
Therefore, the rest of the journey was an endless cycle of being swallowed … Ah pui … Being swallowed … Ah pui …
After walking for a while, Gu Yu and the others were about to have a mental breakdown.
At this stage, all the members of the group had basically been swallowed once. The unluckiest dog had already been swallowed seven or eight times. He was so desperate that he was too lazy to take a bath …
Because even if he took a bath, he would definitely be swallowed again after walking for a while.
At this moment, everyone had the urge to throw up their hands and quit.
It didn't matter if it was a fair fight, even if it was a crushing defeat!
However, this kind of mental devastation was too much.
What made Gu Yu and the others even more depressed was that each of these Soul-Devouring Beasts was extremely curious. Every time they encountered a new Soul-Devouring Beast along the way, it would stick close to a player to have a taste of its flavor. It was simply endless.
It was not that they had never thought of fighting.
However, the Soul Devouring Beasts' defense was extremely strong, and they didn't fight at all. Instead, they would only look for a target to swallow.
If they encountered one or two Soul Devouring Beasts, they could still resist for a while. However, if they encountered more than five, Gu Yu and the others didn't want to resist anymore. They just had to be swallowed and wait to be spat out. There was no escape.
However, after all, they had accepted the mission. It would be irresponsible if they said no, so they could only grit their teeth and continue moving forward.
This journey was like purgatory for them. In the end, all of them gave up on cleaning the mucus on their bodies and looked extremely embarrassed.
After another day or so of hurrying along, the group arrived at a grassland.
To the surprise of the group, they finally encountered a Middle Ghost Emperor Soul Devouring Beast.
This was a huge Soul Devouring Beast that was twice the size of an ordinary Soul Devouring Beast. When the group noticed it, this Soul Devouring Beast also noticed them.
Seeing this Middle Ghost Emperor Soul Devouring Beast begin to blink its big watery eyes, the group, who were already traumatized, subconsciously took a step back.
However, this Soul Devouring Beast did not attack them. After sniffing twice, a look of disgust appeared on its face.
It was as if it had read the "expired food" label left by its companions from the mucus on their bodies.
Therefore, this Soul Devouring Beast no longer paid attention to the group. Instead, it turned its head to look at the other end of the grassland.
However, this time, no one had the thought of letting it go.
Each of them had a ferocious look on their faces. They felt that it was finally over and that they could go home after dealing with this Soul Devouring Beast.
Therefore, under the leadership of Gu Yu, the group decisively surrounded this Soul Devouring Beast.
However, just as Gu Yu gave the order to attack, the ground suddenly began to shake. Then, a group of creatures that looked like antelopes appeared in the distance. They formed a herd and hopped in their direction in fear.
Behind this herd of fleeing antelopes, there was a group of creatures that Gu Yu and the others were very familiar with.
Demonic Apes!
More than thirty Demonic Apes followed closely behind the herd of antelopes. Every time they caught an antelope, they would cruelly swallow it alive. The hunting scene was spectacular.
When they saw the Demonic Apes, Gu Yu and the others were stunned.
From their point of view, shouldn't the Demonic Apes be at the other end of this big region?
However, the appearance of the Demonic Apes here seemed to be completely inconsistent with their previous speculation.
At this moment, Gu Yu and the others had a new speculation.
"I suspect that our entrance should be at the center of the area where the Soul Devouring Beast is, not at the end of the area occupied by the Soul Devouring Beast. Our analysis is wrong!" Gu Yu voiced out his opinion.
Hearing this, everyone immediately nodded and became nervous at the same time.
They had a deep understanding of the brutality of the Demonic Apes. Now that they had encountered a Soul Devouring Beast that was opposing the Demonic Apes, it seemed that a battle was inevitable.
However, at this moment, a scene that made Gu Yu and the others dumbfounded happened.
All of a sudden, the Soul Devouring Beast beside them let out an excited cry. Then, it leaped onto the ground and rushed toward the group of Demonic Apes that were attacking them.
However, the group of Demonic Apes immediately stopped when they saw the Soul Devouring Beast. Then, they began to run in the direction they came from in fear.
Seeing this, the Soul Devouring Beast leaped onto the ground and transformed into its Demonic Ape form in the air. After pounding its chest in anger, it strode forward and chased after the dozens of Demonic Apes.
Everyone was speechless.
Just now, when they opened the analysis, they realized that there was a Middle-stage Ghost Emperor among the group of Demonic Apes.
Therefore, at this moment, they could not understand why a group of Demonic Apes would be afraid of a Soul Devouring Beast.
This did not make sense!
