“Such a good thing can’t be left here, take it!”
In an instant, the Tower of Stars enveloped the Heart of the Swamp, and a suction force was instantly transmitted to it, trying to fuse it into the tower.
“Roar!”
All of a sudden, the mud in the swamp around him began to boil violently. At the same time, a terrifying low roar exploded in Li Xiang’s mind.
A pair of cold and emotionless huge eyes suddenly emerged from the mud and stared at Li Xiang. Then, it turned its gaze and saw the Heart of the Swamp at the side. His eyes revealed unconcealed greed and possession.
This Heart of the Swamp belonged to it. The same went for everything here. No one could take it away.
It could feel that the Heart of the Swamp had immeasurable benefits for itself. This was the acknowledgment and yearning from its life, and it could not resist it.
The instant it saw the Tower of Stars falling towards the Heart of the Swamp, it finally couldn’t hold it in any longer. It roared and dashed over madly. Its killing intent surged like a tide. Without any preparation or warning, it launched an extremely sudden attack.
Li Xiang was dazed. The monster pounced at him the moment he saw its eyes. Then, it opened its bloody mouth and bit at him. The stench of blood and poison assaulted his face. Its teeth were as sharp as saw, shining with a terrifying cold light.
“What a huge alligator!”
When it opened its mouth, it was four to five meters wide. It was able to bite half of the Tower of Stars, let alone Li Xiang.
The alligator was so huge that Li Xiang couldn’t see how long it was, but he estimated from the size of its mouth that it was at least ten meters long. Its body was covered with gray-black scales, and its defense was extremely strong. It was not an ordinary alligator.
In addition, it had a pair of black curved horns on its head, which carried terrifying pressure.
This was an ancient Alligator with the bloodline of the Dragon race. It was a terrifying beast that had reached rank 8 of the divine realm.
The Alligator’s defense was extremely terrifying, and it was also extremely powerful. Its body was huge, and its destructive power was not inferior to that of a rank 9 divine realm. Any one of them was not something an ordinary divine realm expert could deal with.
This thing had always been hidden in the mud and poisonous water. It could move freely and unaffected in the swamp, like a fish in water.
The Heart of the Swamp was its exclusive property. It had just left there for a while before Li Xiang discovered the treasure. When it came back after noticing the commotion, it immediately launched the most ferocious attack without any hesitation.
It was already too late to avoid the Alligator in the special environment under the swamp. With a thought, Li Xiang recalled the Tower of Stars. At the same time, a barrier of seven-colored light appeared around him. The five great halos under his feet also activated in time.
“Crack!”
The Alligator’s hunting speed was too fast and sudden. It wanted to swallow Li Xiang in one bite. It began to chew and grind, for fear that the enemy who coveted its treasure would not die.
The Alligator’s bite force was truly astonishing, and its fangs were sharp. They were comparable to divine-grade treasures, sharp and tough. When they landed on Li Xiang’s body, he could even feel the danger of death.
His internal organs trembled and his bones creaked.
He had merged the six great laws that he had comprehended into his equipment and genuine Qi to form an extremely tough protective shield. Hence he could barely able to resist the grinding of the sharp teeth.
However, the energy in his body was also being consumed rapidly. Once his energy was exhausted, he would probably be ground into a pile of minced meat by the Alligator.
Even if he could revive from a drop of blood, he could only be reborn in the Alligator’s stomach because he wasn’t prepared for the outside world. That scene was not something he could bear to see.
Fortunately, the Alligator did not use its strongest bite to tear him back and forth. Instead, it used the grinding method in an attempt to grind him into minced meat. This in turn gave him a chance at survival.
At the same time, Li Xiang’s five great halos began to play their roles.
The reflect damage halo could reflect an attack 1000 times more. It immediately caused terrible damage to the Alligator. Large, terrifying wounds appeared on its huge body, and it was a bloody mess.
This caused the Alligator to involuntarily let out a furious howl. It couldn’t be bothered to crush Li Xiang and it couldn’t wait to swallow him.
At first, Li Xiang had already taken out the Black Dragon Spear and wanted to use it to stab the Alligator from the inside. However, he did not expect the spear to only make a few minor wounds before he was swallowed directly, along with the foul-smelling venom and blood.
The Alligator’s instinct was to swallow the enemy first, no matter who it was. It was the most important to ensure that its exclusive property would not be taken away by others.
With the Alligator’s digestive ability, it could quickly digest anything made of metal, let alone a seemingly weak human. It would not have any adverse effects.
From the moment the Alligator pounced on Li Xiang to the moment it swallowed him, the entire process happened in the blink of an eye. It was so fast that no one could react.
After swallowing Li Xiang, it felt that it was no longer safe to leave the Heart of the Swamp here. It was better to swallow and digest it now to improve his strength.
Although the Alligator was a ferocious beast and did not have high intelligence, its instincts and spiritual sense were extremely powerful.
Following the Alligator’s throat, Li Xiang entered a closed, sour, and smelly dark space.
“I was swallowed by this Alligator. I should be in its stomach now, right? But it doesn’t know that the ancient Chinese myths and legends tell us the truth. No matter how good you are at digestion, you can’t just swallow everything. You can’t bear the consequences.”
Li Xiang wasn’t worried about his current situation at all. His expression was very calm.
In contrast, he would be extremely cautious and even nervous if he was facing the Alligator outside.
He was extremely relaxed after entering this place.
If it wasn’t for the sour and poisonous air, he wouldn’t be in a hurry to leave.
In the Alligator’s stomach, what he could see the most were countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants of all sizes. There were even a few strange-looking plants floating in the sour stomach acid.
Although Li Xiang’s feet were stepping on a piece of ice crystal, the corrosive gas around him was still constantly eroding his protective shield. If he couldn’t hold on, his entire body would be corroded.
The acid in the Alligator’s stomach was more corrosive than the poisonous gas. Even though Li Xiang was extremely strong, he could not guarantee that he would be unscathed in this acid.
However, maintaining the protective shield was constantly consuming the energy in his body, whether it was genuine Qi or HP.
“Since you dare to swallow me, then don’t blame me for letting you experience a pain worse than death!”
Li Xiang looked around and sneered. He was about to take action when he suddenly saw a green light approaching quickly and then reached the Alligator’s stomach.
