Pretending To Be A Boss

The claw firmly wrapped around the teeth of the Tengu, and Tang Xian's body instantly swung over.

"What are you? I'll crush you!"

The fierce voice of the Tengu echoed in the sea of Tang Xian's consciousness.

Tang Xian knew it was time to test his mathematical skills; he had to calculate the point where the Tengu's teeth would crush him!

And before that, he had to rapidly execute the snake move, using explosive force to shoot into the Tengu's mouth.

The black flames severely injured Jin Lu, who let out a painful roar.

In her eyes, the insignificant human was running towards the enormous gaping mouth of a dog!

"No matter what you are, die!"

The feedback from the Soul Crystal made the Tengu slightly uneasy.

Tang Xian had an unknown yet powerful aura.

But the Tengu did not believe there was any creature in the world it couldn't crush, especially once inside its stomach, which ensured certain death.

Yet, as the massive biting force targeted Tang Xian, he burst out with astonishing speed.

His entire body shot through like a bullet, thunderously piercing into the Tengu's mouth.

"I'm like non-recyclable trash, ready for indigestion?

"This damn halitosis is even more uncomfortable than your black flames."

Complaining, Tang Xian finally entered the Tengu's mouth, with much relief and no harm.

He dared not delay and, before it could chew with its rolling tongue, he traveled up the throat and along the esophagus headed north!

The Tengu didn't see what happened in that instant.

It looked at Jin Lu provocatively.

This time, Jin Lu's foolish actions left her vulnerable to the black flame.

There was already a slight difference in strength between them, and they were not evenly matched.

Now the gap had grown even larger.

Its haughty stance seemed to declare itself the victor.

But the Queen of the Golden Patterned Leopards, with her exceptional dynamic vision, saw clearly what had just happened.

In a defensive stance, she watched intently ahead, waiting with patience yet anxiety.

...

...

Seemingly sensing an intrusion, these catastrophic creatures all had the ability to secrete stomach acid quickly.

In the Tengu's vast stomach, despite the presence of plenty of the Golden Patterned Leopard's flesh and blood, only when Tang Xian entered did the secretion of gastric juices become fierce.

Before long, Tang Xian's shoulders and knees were soaked with stomach acid.

The corrosiveness of this catastrophic boss creature was even stronger than that of the Nvwa Snake.

Warnings kept coming from the sea of his consciousness.

A one-time deduction of eleven percent of maximum health.

Tang Xian felt like he was in a leaky straw hut on a rainy day, with stomach acid continually dripping onto him.

There were a few times when the intense corrosion almost knocked him unconscious.

But his terrifying recovery ability allowed him to bounce back to a robust state every time.

After such a long ordeal, Tang Xian's will was greatly tested.

He couldn't merely train his resistance and damage as he had inside the Nvwa Snake's stomach; he had to ensure he wasn't hit by too much gastric juice at once.

Finally, as his resistance grew higher, Tang Xian felt the pain slowly subside.

Throughout this process, the Tengu seemed to move violently, and new things, like the flesh and blood of the Golden Patterned Leopard, were occasionally added to the esophagus.

It wasn't until a prompt sounded in his sea of consciousness that Tang Xian gave a knowing smile and took out his kitchen knife.

Such a knife could not possibly harm the Tengu.

The catastrophic boss creature had extremely resilient walls even in its stomach.

But Tang Xian was unconcerned; the traits of a devil child granted him almost a bug-like enforced damage.

"Successful damage inflicted on the Tengu, increase damage against the Tengu by one point."

Such damage, accumulated to a certain extent, would allow him to tear open the Tengu's stomach even with bare hands.

Just as the Tengu, together with the Hell Flame Wolf, was unleashing a fierce attack on Jin Lu, determined to become the master of the island today, it suddenly felt intense pain in its abdomen.

The black flames, like ocean waves, abruptly stopped.

The Great Tengu let out a pained howl. Those black flames instantly contracted.

Jin Lu watched this scene in disbelief.

"You actually did it!"

Tang Xian heard these words, but he couldn't respond. He didn't bother trying anymore.

The damage kept accumulating, and Tang Xian began to focus on swinging his sword.

Once the Unparalleled Achievement included the Great Tengu, everything would be much easier to handle.

At this point, the Great Tengu also realized that it had swallowed something troublesome.

"Come out! Please, come out!"

"I'm not coming out. It's spacious inside."

"What do you want me to do! I'll agree to anything! Just come out already!"

The Great Tengu wailed in agony.

"Can you meow like a cat?"

"You insult me!"

"So dumb. Even my little fox can bark like a dog."

Swing after swing, Tang Xian was like a wound-up robot, each movement precise and consistent.

"Aaah! Come out! It hurts too much!"

"I think you're driving a car or something, stop screaming like that. I have my plan, and you must die today, heaven forbid I join you. Besides, you're probably not going to heaven anyway."

While spewing nonsensical talk, he continued slaughtering. His movements never stopped.

Tang Xian indeed had his own plan. Gaining Jin Lu's trust and helping her become the Island Master was just the first step.

"Please! Come out quickly!"

"I'm taking a shower, I'm tired, I'm not in."

Tang Xian covered his ears with one hand, then realized that the voice was resonating in his mind and lowered his hand.

"Do you think you can survive, get the hell out! This is your last chance!"

Tang Xian ignored the Great Tengu. He patiently swung his sword, racking up damage.

Suddenly, he realized that hiding inside the stomach of a giant creature, quietly boosting his attack and defense, was extremely effective.

This was fair too, since he was about to eat its people, getting eaten by it first evened things out.

"Despicable creature, I will make sure you die a horrible death! You have enraged me!"

Tang Xian frowned.

The stomach trembled unstoppably, and now the Great Tengu could no longer harm him. These must be just some fierce last words before death.

But he felt like he was missing something.

At that moment, Tang Xian felt an intense shaking, as if the creature had started running wildly.

Tang Xian's eyes widened as he considered a possibility.

"Come out quickly! Tang Xian!"

Jin Lu's voice came through, sounding quite anxious.

Tang Xian compromised, "Big Black Dog, let me out!"

"Despicable creature, now that I am weak, letting you out would also lead you to a dead end! I'll drag you down with me in mutual destruction!"

The violent shaking made it hard for Tang Xian to stand steady. He gritted his teeth and began wildly swinging his cleaver.

He wanted to kill the Great Tengu before it could make a crazy move.

But the enraged disaster-level boss was now like one who ignored all pain, having turned into a true mad dog!

When Tang Xian heard the sound of splashing water, his heart skipped a beat.

The taste of seawater slowly began to permeate Tang Xian's breath.

Seawater started to pour into the Great Tengu's esophagus.

A voice resonated in his sea of consciousness:

"Follow me… together… to meet the Sea God, despicable creature!"

The seawater filled the Great Tengu's stomach far more violently than any gastric juice could.

Tang Xian frowned.

A small oversight; he had forgotten this was an island! The seawater here was like lava, once you fell in, there was almost no hope of climbing back out.

The seawater quickly submerged most of Tang Xian's body, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

Eventually, as the seawater slowly rose to his neck, Tang Xian calmed down, tilted his head back, and said with a bitter smile:

"It's time to test whether the seawater can kill a child of Eden."
