"This is way too outrageous!"
Ethan stared at the Dragon-Slaying Saber in his hand with a shocked expression and let out an exclamation.
Right now, he had no way to judge just how strong this monster's gastric fluid was. No wonder it had swallowed him so recklessly. Looks like this monster had no idea it had accidentally swallowed a Sun Wukong.
And he was about to wreak havoc inside its stomach.
"Since the Dragon-Slaying Saber is ruined, then I'll just use my fists."
Ethan raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Perfect chance to see just how much strength I've got now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ethan simply tossed away the ruined Dragon-Slaying Saber, clenched his fist, and smashed it hard into the monster's stomach wall.
BANG!
The monster's stomach wall instantly rippled.
But the problem was that the stomach wall was far too thick, and its elasticity was extremely high. That punch only caused the surface to shake, it didn't break through at all.
"ROAR!"
But that punch… even though it didn't kill the monster, it made it scream in pain.
Right after that, Ethan felt the ground beneath his feet lose balance. The monster seemed to have stood up from the pain, directly flipping him into the gastric fluid. There was no way for him to stand steady anymore.
Luckily, Ethan had just awakened Poison Eye Golden Pupils. Only then was he able to find a fold inside the monster's stomach and wedge himself into it.
That kept him from being tossed around by the gastric fluid.
"This won't work."
"The monster's stomach wall is too slippery. I need something sharp to break it open."
"But those ordinary blades are too fragile. Even a weapon like the Dragon-Slaying Saber got corroded instantly. Other weapons probably won't be any better."
"Looks like…"
"I can only try using the God-Slaying Sword blueprint I just got."
"If that still doesn't work, then I'll have to use my teeth and bite through the monster's stomach wall little by little to get out."
[God-Slaying Sword Blueprint: This is an incomparably sharp sword. If paired with the right skills, it can slay gods. Crafting requirements: Enchanted Ore 267/10, Five-Colored Beast Core 52/10, Black Iron Ore 2400/10, Pixiu Bone 365/10, Diamond 100/10]
[PS: Because this sword has no attributes, the user can also use it to gather elements and unleash certain special sword techniques.]
"Damn! Are all good swords this expensive?"
"Just the Five-Colored Beast Cores alone need 10 of them, that hurts damn it!"
Ethan clutched his chest, but since he had already used even his most precious doubling voucher, there was no way he'd really be reluctant to spend ten Five-Colored Beast Cores to exchange for a proper weapon.
'Craft!'
The next second, a pitch-black longsword appeared in Ethan's magic book. On the shoulder of the blade were inlaid seven beautiful diamonds.
It gave off a low-key yet luxurious feeling.
Right after that, Ethan directly took the God-Slaying Sword out from his tail ring.
The sword was 1.3 meters long. It felt slightly heavy in his hand, but not too heavy, not too light. It had a solid, satisfying weight.
On top of that, the dark blade was etched with mysterious patterns, giving off an extremely enigmatic aura.
"Beautiful!"
Ethan admired the black longsword carefully.
Then he dipped the hilt slightly into the gastric fluid to test whether the God-Slaying Sword could really withstand corrosion. Fortunately, it didn't disappoint him at all. It wasn't affected by the gastric fluid in the slightest.
Whoosh!
Immediately after, Ethan thrust the sword straight into the monster's stomach wall.
Puchi!
This time, the stomach wall was finally pierced open with a hole.
But looking at the opening, only as wide as the blade itself, Ethan wondered how many stabs it would take if he wanted to escape from the stomach sac.
After all, a sword isn't like a saber. It's not meant for chopping.
It's meant for thrusting and slashing.
After piercing through the stomach wall, Ethan also tried to slice it.
But the wall was just too thick. He couldn't cut it at all. He had to think of a way to let the God-Slaying Sword easily open up a large gap inside the monster's stomach.
As Ethan thought about it, 'Maybe it is time to duplicate the skill book.'
But he was worried that the skill book copier wouldn't be able to withstand the monster's gastric fluid.
If other things broke, so be it, but this skill book copier was a crucial treasure for his rise. There was absolutely no room for losing it.
After thinking it over, Ethan still couldn't bring himself to take the risk with the copier.
"How about I just learn this Eight Forms of God-Slaying skill book directly?"
"ROAR!"
The monster's stomach had been pierced by Ethan, and it once again let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Immediately after, Ethan felt that weightless sensation again.
'The monster must have stood up again.'
However, fortunately, Ethan stayed wedged in the gap of the stomach wall, so he wasn't flung around by the gastric fluid.
"Hm?"
However, as the monster kept letting out waves of painful roars, Ethan suddenly noticed that the gastric fluid inside the stomach seemed to be rapidly decreasing, 'Could it be…'
He quickly dived back into the fluid and found the spot he had pierced earlier with the God-Slaying Sword. Sure enough, the gastric fluid was flowing through the hole he made into the monster's abdominal cavity.
'If all the gastric fluid drained out of the stomach, then using the copier would no longer be dangerous.'
Ethan stroked his chin and thought for a moment.
Then he decisively made a choice, better to drain it than block it. Might as well turn the monster's stomach into a sieve.
"Take this!"
Ethan once again raised the God-Slaying Sword and viciously stabbed into the monster's stomach wall.
"ROAR!"
The monster screamed again.
But Ethan used the sword to anchor himself so he wouldn't be thrown off. Then whenever the monster stopped thrashing, he continued stabbing more holes.
After about ten minutes of mutual torment, the monster seemed to grow weak and could no longer struggle. But during those ten minutes, Ethan felt like he had been strapped into a rocket about to launch. The constant weightlessness made him extremely uncomfortable, and the dizziness made him nauseous to the extreme.
Fortunately, all the gastric fluid inside the monster's stomach had finally drained out.
Now… the entire stomach sac was empty. Aside from some undigested food remnants, there was nothing left but the stomach wall riddled with holes from Ethan's stabbing.
"Phew! Finally done."
Seeing that the gastric fluid had basically drained away, Ethan wiped his hands clean, carefully took out his precious skill book copier, and placed the [Skill Book · Eight Forms of God-Slaying] into it, making ten copies first.
After the copying was complete, Ethan then learned one of the copies, [Skill Book · Eight Forms of God-Slaying (Pseudo)].
