Wen Yu finally understood what Bai meant by "sending us to the target location."
In his perception, the mouth of the Devourer had expanded to its maximum, with its massive jaws opening wide, exposing an area at least five times larger than the small island!
Its agile body charged directly toward the small island with unparalleled explosive power. In an instant, that terrifying giant mouth had already made contact with the island.
Wen Yu stared in shock at the scene, and then his gaze turned toward Bai's direction. He saw Leogua's limbs tightly locked to the ground, while Bai, Ye Nan, and the Avengers quickly grabbed onto the spines on Leogua's body to brace for the impending impact.
Wen Yu couldn't even utter a single curse, feeling a tremor under his feet. In the next moment, a sensation of weightlessness rushed over him, and he felt his body lift off the ground. Immediately after, everything above him went completely dark.
...
The Devourer efficiently finished consuming the small island, then twisted its body and shot off into the distance, as straightforward as if it had just eaten a peanut. However, for Wen Yu, who was swallowed by the Devourer, the situation was far from delightful.
The rapid descent caused a slight discomfort for Wen Yu, and the smell of gunpowder filled his mouth and nose. The breath of the Devourer was a bit heavy, and the environment inside its mouth was rather harsh. The mucus continuously secreted around the mouth had a strong corrosive property, and Wen Yu could even see the small island he had just stepped on being corroded and digested in this mucus, ultimately turning into the mucus itself.
However, this adverse environment posed no significant threat to Wen Yu. After sorting out what had just happened in his mind, he understood Bai's intentionāhaving this creature take everyone to the target location was much easier than fighting their way through.
Having figured this out, Wen Yu was too lazy to give the Devourer a small lesson. Dark energy surged from his hands, wrapping around the upper part of the Devourer's mouth like a grappling hook, then tightening it to secure Wen Yu in the Devourer's mouth.
His perception ability continued to radiate outward, and Wen Yu felt as if deep within the Devourer's body lay an invisible black hole that was constantly emanating a powerful attraction. However, this did not pose much disruption for Wen Yu. Given the strength of Leogua, Bai, and the others, they would hardly be able to withstand this attraction. Naturally, at this moment, only Wen Yu was in the Devourer's mouth.
The team was temporarily separated, but Bai had calculated for this, so it wasn't a major issue.
As his eyes briefly adapted to the dark environment, when the blurred images came into view again, Wen Yu noticed that the inside of the Devourer's mouth was not completely pitch black. A faint red light spilled from the mouth, and Wen Yu guessed this must be the glow emitted by the Devourer's own membrane. Excluding the poor air quality and the ubiquitous mucus, the scenery here could be described as breathtaking.
From the inertia feedback transmitted by his body, Wen Yu could infer the direction of the Devourer's movementāoverall, it seemed to be advancing toward the core of its body. As Wen Yu further adapted to the environment, he gradually discovered some interesting aspects.
The flesh and bone structure of this Devourer were different from any creatures Wen Yu had seen before. His perception ability rapidly expanded, easily penetrating the Devourer's membrane and directly exploring the outside world. The red-hot magma entered Wen Yu's perception range, and at times, he could also sense the life signals of some creatures residing in this areaāmuch like riding in an underwater sightseeing boat.
Leisurely and pleasant, it was far better than the first half of the journey.
Now that he did not need to battle those strange creatures for survival, Wen Yu naturally enjoyed the respite. After a while, he simply abandoned the grappling hook, landed on his feet, and began to walk step by step deeper into the Devourer's body.
