Then, she wedged something under her feet in the creature's maw, preparing to use it to climb upward.
At first, everything went smoothly. Lin Yao had climbed halfway up the slick, vertical walls of the star beast's mouth. However, as the creature continued to struggle, its powerful muscles forced out the objects she had used for leverage.
Caught off guard, Lin Yao fell directly from the maw. If it weren't for her quick reflexes in plunging the Meteor Sword into the wall of the star beast's mouth again, she would have likely dropped straight into its stomach.
Even though she had temporarily saved her life, Lin Yao's situation had worsened significantly. The flexible iron she had relied on was completely dissolved by the gastric juices, leaving her with no foreign object to hold onto. The beast began to writhe, preparing to swallow her whole.
With her strength nearly depleted and injuries weighing her down, the creature's peristaltic movements made it almost impossible for Lin Yao to escape. Watching the oxygen helmet signal that her air supply was running low, she knew she had to take a desperate gamble.
"Yao Beiluo, listen to my instructions in a moment." Her voice was calm even in this critical moment.
Yao Beiluo, who had been anxiously waiting outside, perked up at Lin Yao's voice. "Lin Yao, what do you need?"
"I’m going to unleash a powerful attack to kill this beast. I might lose consciousness afterward, so make sure to pull me out of its body in time; otherwise, I’ll be digested by its gastric juices!"
"Understood!"
After giving her instructions to Yao Beiluo, Lin Yao took out the Broken Spirit Body of the White Scale Flood Dragon from her system space and began to devour it using her psychic abilities.
Although her mental strength had reached level eleven, her body was severely weakened and sealed. Even if she forced a burst of power, she could only exceed her physical capabilities by one or two levels of mental strength. This was insufficient against a ninth-level high-tier beast; she had no choice but to take risks and absorb the spirit body of the White Scale Flood Dragon, forcibly breaking through her body's limitations with advanced mental power to crush this beast.
As for the consequences of forcibly breaking through her bodily constraints with mental power, she could no longer afford to worry about them. She had never felt so constrained even in the perilous Bright Light Star System; she couldn't let herself be swallowed by a ninth-level beast here.
As her mental strength continuously digested the energy from the White Scale Flood Dragon's spirit body, an alarm blared from the system: "Mental sea pressure too high; intervene?"
"No!" Ignoring the pain in her mental sea, Lin Yao gritted her teeth and continued to devour.
As her mental sea expanded further and reached excruciating levels of pain, she plunged her hand into the beast's maw despite knowing it might break her fingers. At that moment, she lost all perception of the outside world and was driven solely by an indomitable will.
"Not enough... still not enough."
Lin Yao was frantically absorbing the spiritual essence of the White-scaled Serpent. It wasn't until she felt her mental sea was about to burst that she guided this powerful spiritual force out of her mental sea and directed it towards the beast's mental realm.
Outside, Yao Beiluo was unaware of Lin Yao's condition; he quietly activated his night vision device to monitor the situation with the beast. He noticed that the creature, which had been tilting its head and swallowing continuously, suddenly collapsed without a sound. At that moment, he felt a powerful wave of spiritual energy dissipate into the air.
Realizing that Lin Yao might have unleashed her full power to kill the beast, Yao Beiluo hurriedly rushed forward to rescue her without taking time to observe further. However, no matter what weapon he retrieved from his spatial pouch, he found it impossible to breach the beast's defenses from the outside. Reluctantly, he abandoned that idea.
Using his weapon to pry open the beast's mouth, he managed to drill into its belly and dragged Lin Yao out from within its long digestive tract. The sight that met him was horrific; Lin Yao was covered in blood, corroded by the stomach acid that had flowed back on her. Her legs were particularly gruesome, revealing stark white bones beneath the flesh.
Those were merely external injuries; far worse were the numerous tiny blood spots and gaping wounds covering her skin—clear signs of severe internal damage caused by a powerful backlash, which was more critical than her external wounds.
In a panic, Yao Beiluo took out a high-grade body repair potion from his spatial pouch, preparing to pour it into Lin Yao's mouth. However, as soon as he pried her mouth open, a large amount of blood gushed forth uncontrollably. Her internal injuries were too severe for her to even swallow the potion.
The only option left was to get her into a treatment pod as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, they were buried deep underground and unable to contact the military for help.
After what felt like an eternity, Lin Yao finally stopped spitting blood. Yao Beiluo hastily poured one potion down her throat, but its effect was minimal. With no other choice, he pulled out all the repair potions from his spatial pouch and administered them one by one until he managed to stabilize her condition slightly and reduce her bleeding.
However, her injuries could not be delayed any longer; otherwise, even if they saved her life, Lin Yao's foundation would be irreparably damaged. Looking around at the stone walls of the beast's lair with no exit in sight, despair began to creep into Yao Beiluo’s heart as he held Lin Yao, who was barely clinging to life.
Fortunately, compared to the other members of their team, Yao Beiluo retained a shred of rationality. Understanding that they could not afford to sit idly by and wait for help, he gently set Lin Yao down and began searching in the dark cave.
For any high-level beast, its lair must contain rare treasures and resources.
After searching for a long time, Yao Beiluo finally discovered a basin-sized pool at the corner of the lair. He tentatively reached out to touch it, and soon, a surge of energy began to seep into his skin.
Yao Beiluo was taken aback. He had never encountered energy that actively sought to enter his body like this before. However, his instincts told him it was something good, so he hurriedly picked up Lin Yao and placed her into the pool.
Sure enough, as Lin Yao submerged in the water, the cracks and bleeding spots on her skin slowly began to heal, and her face improved significantly as well. Seeing her condition stabilize, Yao Beiluo finally collapsed onto the ground, utterly exhausted.
He had sustained quite a few injuries himself. Initially, he had used his metal-based abilities against the exotic beast, but since he was at a distance, the earth escape technique hadn’t reached him, causing him to scrape against the soil for quite some time until he could finally get close to the beast.
Later, when the beast struggled, even though he was hiding nearby, he still got injured from the chaos caused by its thrashing. When he finally rescued Lin Yao from the beast's mouth, he had also been splattered with corrosive gastric fluid.
He had been so worried about Lin Yao that he hadn’t paid attention to his own condition. Now that he noticed her breathing was steady, he became aware of his own dire state. Unfortunately, all the restorative potions he had were already administered to Lin Yao, leaving him with no means to treat his own wounds.
He let out a bitter laugh and was about to tend to his injuries when he suddenly saw Lin Yao move in the pool.
