"Roar—!"
As the colossal fierce beast finished speaking, the children surrounding it roared in unison and lunged towards Ye Ling!
Seeing this, Ye Ling forcefully pushed off with his legs, soaring into the air!
The giant beasts then pounced onto the beast Ye Ling had killed, beginning to gnaw at it ferociously, absorbing the remaining power from its corpse.
As they devoured their companion's flesh and blood, the giant beasts grew a few inches larger.
"Gulp!"
Ye Ling, looking at the dense mass of giant beasts below, swallowed hard. He quickly addressed the colossal fierce beast, "Brother... oh wait... Sister, we can talk this through. There's no need for fighting, right?"
Whoosh!!!
As Ye Ling finished speaking, the colossal fierce beast's tail whipped towards him.
Ye Ling, seeing this, quickly ducked, narrowly avoiding the massive tail. The gust of wind it generated stung his skin.
"Damn it, this guy is so much stronger than Gor... Could it be that it's been eating its own young, and that's why its strength hasn't been weakened much?"
Ye Ling landed on an open patch of ground, his expression grim as he looked at the two giant golden eyes in front of him. Da Feng Novel
Ye Ling had almost lost half his life killing one small fierce beast. Now, its mother had appeared, and if Ye Ling couldn't recover his strength, he wouldn't stand a chance!
His cultivation was completely sealed by the masked man, and he saw no hope of victory!
"I have to retreat first!"
Ye Ling quickly assessed the combat power of both sides. He didn't foolishly try to fight the pack of giant beasts and instead rapidly retreated towards the outer edges of the prison.
That area still held Gor's massive dragon corpse, and there was a faint light. As long as he could return there, Ye Ling wouldn't have to rely solely on his hearing to fight the giant beasts.
Furthermore, Gor's dragon scales were quite sharp, and Ye Ling could use them as weapons!
"Human, you cannot escape!"
The colossal fierce beast, seeing Ye Ling flee, let out a low growl and commanded its children, "Chase after him!"
"Roar—!"
Upon receiving their mother's command, the pack of giant beasts surged towards Ye Ling.
The beast corpse left behind was now just a pile of bone fragments, and even the blood on the floor had been licked clean.
With Ye Ling's full sprint, he quickly reached the edge of the prison and the side of Gor's dragon corpse.
Ye Ling looked back and saw a group of furry, lizard-like giant beasts galloping towards him.
"Finally, I can see what you brutes look like!"
With his vision restored, Ye Ling could more easily track the movements of the giant beasts.
Ye Ling struck Gor's corpse with his palm, dislodging several dragon scales, and flung them towards the approaching pack of beasts!
The dragon scales flashed through the air, piercing the skulls of several giant beasts. A torrent of blood gushed from their heads, and the injured beasts thrashed on the ground in pain.
However, before Ye Ling could follow up, the injured beasts were tackled by their companions and were torn apart and devoured alive.
"How long have these guys been starving? They don't even spare their own kind, just like their mother!"
Seeing the giant beasts turn on each other, Ye Ling realized this was his chance. He took another dragon scale from Gor and sliced off the claw of a fierce beast lunging at him!
The beast cried out in pain, and before it could struggle, it was once again devoured by its companions.
Ye Ling used the opportunity to retreat to another open area and pulled off several more large dragon scales from Gor.
"Although these giant beasts are powerful, they lack intelligence. And as soon as they get injured, they are hunted by their own kind. It seems I still have a chance..."
Ye Ling's eyes gleamed as he watched the beasts tearing into their own kind. He then hurled the dragon scales in his hand, slicing open several more of the feasting beasts.
Unsurprisingly, the bleeding beasts became targets for their companions, and were overwhelmed by the sheer number of them.
After Ye Ling repeated this process several times, none of the giant beasts in the vicinity attacked him. They were all consumed by infighting.
"Phew... Fortunately, these guys aren't very intelligent. If they had attacked me all at once, I would have been done for today."
Ye Ling sat on Gor's massive corpse, letting out a long sigh and using the time to rest and recover his strength.
Although he had temporarily resolved the crisis of being surrounded by the giant beasts, the trouble was far from over.
The mother of these giant beasts had yet to make her move.
However, Ye Ling was already close to exhaustion from dealing with the smaller beasts. He didn't have the energy to ponder what the colossal fierce beast was planning.
All Ye Ling could do now was to secretly siphon some energy from the chaos of the beasts' mutual destruction to construct his Devouring Domain and Ink Space, thereby accelerating the release of his seal.
What puzzled Ye Ling was that after he had returned to the edge of the dungeon, more than ten minutes had passed. The giant beasts were nearly wiped out, with only a few remaining that had absorbed a large amount of energy and grown even larger. The colossal fierce beast had not shown itself at all!

"Strange... Why didn't that big one come out? Just watching its children slaughter each other?"
Ye Ling, who had been waiting for the colossal fierce beast to appear, couldn't help but feel a flicker of doubt, and a bad premonition began to stir within him.
However, Ye Ling dared not venture deeper into the prison to observe the situation. He used Gor's dragon scales to sever its dragon claws, grinding them into bone knives he could use. He then charged under the foot of a giant beast that had grown to a hundred meters tall and, with all his might, carved a massive gash into its leg!
A large amount of blood spurted out. Ye Ling seized the opportunity to absorb some of it, and then the injured beast was once again hunted by its companions...
Through Ye Ling's continuous actions, the pack of giant beasts that had surrounded him in the prison was eventually reduced to two beasts, each standing two hundred meters tall.
Covered in blood, Ye Ling, holding his chipped bone knife, looked at the two colossal behemoths before him and murmured, "As long as one of these two gets injured, they should start fighting each other, allowing me to reap the benefits."
"I hope that fierce beast doesn't show up until the very end."
Ye Ling tightened his grip on the bone knife and aimed for a weak point on one of the beasts that appeared relatively weaker, intending to create an opening.
However...
Before Ye Ling could make his move, he saw a massive tongue, covered in barbs, extend from the darkness and wrap around the two giant beasts in front of him.
The next moment, the colossal tongue dragged the two beasts into the darkness.
"Roar—!"
Ye Ling heard the pained roars emanating from the darkness, followed by the sounds of chewing.
Soon, the roars of the two beasts vanished, replaced by the chilling sounds of chewing and the crunching of bones.
Ye Ling, listening to the immense noise, retreated step by step, his face contorted in a grim expression. He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it... Is that thing treating me as its chef?"
Ye Ling finally understood. The colossal fierce beast was deliberately letting its children slaughter each other, raising two large portions of food, and then devouring them.
It was likely that the ten-meter-long giant beasts were like shrimp to the colossal fierce beast, not satisfying enough to eat. That's why it had watched Ye Ling lure its children into consuming each other and growing stronger.
"Gulp!"
Shortly after Ye Ling heard the sounds of swallowing from the darkness, he saw the blood-covered, massive tongue extend from the darkness once more. It wrapped around Gor's colossal dragon corpse right before Ye Ling's eyes and dragged Gor into the darkness.
Ye Ling once again heard the sounds of chewing.
"What should I do now?"
Listening to the chewing, Ye Ling's mind raced, searching for a way to break free.
He knew very well that after the colossal fierce beast devoured Gor, its next target would be him!
"As expected, no one in this calamity dungeon is easy to deal with. No wonder that masked man looked at me as if I were already dead..."
Ye Ling muttered, glancing at the seal within his body.
Although he had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy during the chaos, his Devouring Domain and Ink Space were not yet powerful enough. It would take hundreds of years to completely break the seal within him.
Under normal circumstances, this amount of time would be nothing to Ye Ling. But in his current situation, it was tantamount to a death sentence!
"Damn it! I have no choice but to go all out!"
Ye Ling gritted his teeth and looked towards the outside of the prison.
The only one who could save him now was the jailer guarding this prison. Although he would likely suffer a period of brutal torment if he lured the jailer, it was still better than being turned into food by that colossal fierce beast!
What Ye Ling needed most was time.
As long as he could hold out until the moment he broke the seal, that colossal fierce beast would become his meal!
Ye Ling was willing to use his own suffering to buy himself time.
Just as Ye Ling made up his mind and prepared to create a significant disturbance to attract the jailer, a gentle female voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Hero, come with me quickly!"
"Who?"
Hearing the female voice, Ye Ling instinctively called out. Then, he realized... whoever was speaking must be the last prisoner in this dungeon!
"Hero, there's no time to explain. While Calvin is devouring Gor, we must hide in a place it cannot find us. Hurry, follow me!"
As the female voice spoke, specks of fluorescent light appeared beneath Ye Ling's feet, pointing towards a spot in the darkness.
After his encounters with Gor and the colossal fierce beast, Ye Ling was well aware that any prisoner who survived in this dungeon must be both powerful and a freak of nature!
Although the female voice sounded gentle and non-threatening, Ye Ling had a nagging feeling that it was another trap.
However...
Ye Ling glanced at the colossal fierce beast in the darkness, which was currently gnawing on Gor. A plan began to form in his mind.
Rather than entrusting his fate to the jailer, whose arrival was uncertain, it was better to take matters into his own hands.
"I'll take the gamble!"
Ye Ling made up his mind. He used his fingernail to prick his palm, and then, following the fluorescent lights beneath his feet, he ran into the darkness.
