'Hmph... So you've come to deliver a Lifebound Golden Core to me, have you?'
Tu Xiao'an immediately snatched the Golden Core and popped it into his mouth, swallowing it whole.
His power was severely depleted. This Grade Three Lifebound Golden Core contained a powerful, pure Energy, perfect for replenishing Tu Xiao'an's reserves.
"Snake Demon, don't celebrate too soon!"
Tu Xiao'an had just swallowed the Golden Core when the sky above him suddenly darkened as a terrifying rat's mouth descended to devour him.
"Ding... Rat Race Rank 3 Demon Spirit, mutated Heaven Devouring Rat, Level 33."
A system notification chimed. Before he could defend himself, Tu Xiao'an was swallowed by the enormous mouth.
"Haha... I, the Heaven Devouring Rat, have swallowed the Snake Demon! I've performed a great service!"
Immediately, an even larger, monstrous rat roared ferociously, as if it had won the lottery, announcing its triumph to the world.
