When system cheat becomes rampant!

It seemed the tongue was curling towards him again, but this time, he didn\'t give it a chance to ensnare him. Facing the depths of the cave, he blasted out a ferocious flame.

The fire turned into a powerful flame gale, guarding in front of him, and at that moment, the tongue also struck violently.

Buzz!

Xiang Beifei\'s punch, infused with spiritual power, stirred up high temperatures within the flame gale. As it blocked the advance of the tongue, the flame also clung to it, instantly igniting the huge tongue with Rapid Flame!

The tongue immediately recoiled, but it was already ablaze, lighting up the cave and revealing glimpses of its depths about ten meters in. The glow of the flames allowed Xiang Beifei to vaguely see what lay inside.

At the far end of the cave, there was a bloated soft-bodied creature, piled up like a mass about three meters wide, unspeakably disgusting – like a soft-bodied snail magnified hundreds of times. It had its mouth wide open, revealing rows upon rows of sharp teeth of uncountable number, likely in the thousands, and incredibly sharp. If one were to be bitten, surely their bones would grind to dust.

The Claw-tailed Monkey from before probably met its demise under those teeth.

This Soft-bodied Monster seemed to dwell in the cave, waiting for any desolate beast to pass by outside the cave, then extending its tongue to lick and consume them, much like a gecko. The Claw-tailed Monkey it had just eaten didn\'t even leave a trace.

The fire conjured by Xiang Beifei\'s spiritual power clung to the monster\'s tongue, setting it aflame. It twisted in pain but made no sound. It seemed like the creature was mute. Steam began to rise from its body, and soon the flames were extinguished.

And from the darkness, the sound of heavy breathing came again; it seemed to have been enraged and was preparing to coil around Xiang Beifei once more.

Xiang Beifei had some understanding of how to deal with this large soft-bodied creature and thought about rushing forward to land a punch directly on it. Its body seemed to have no defensive power, and a frontal attack with the flames should be effective.

But after some thought, he decided to give up.

"Forget it, time to retreat! Better safe than sorry," he muttered.

Because the deeper into the cave he went, the lower it became, and it was inconvenient to fight in such conditions. Moreover, it was the beast\'s lair, giving it the home ground advantage. Besides, he had to hurry to find the Three Souls Desolate Snake, and there was no need to waste too much time here.

Still, to leave the cave, he\'d have to confront those black monkeys again. He decided to escape using the Flame Dragon Escape.

Xiang Beifei was carrying quite a lot of items. Lu Hong had given him many system items last time, and he had used four to ignite his constellations but kept one Flame Dragon Escape for emergencies. .net

The items given by Lu Hong were all selected based on an estimation of Xiang Beifei\'s strength, ensuring they would be usable by him, and now they were coming in handy.

Xiang Beifei crushed the Spirit Talisman of the Flame Dragon Escape, a ferocious Fire Dragon roared as it coiled around him, and with a loud "boom," flames exploded, and Xiang Beifei\'s figure was no longer in the cave.

——

Everyone in the training area was unsettled!

Their line of sight had lost track of Xiang Beifei!

The reason they could see what was happening to Xiang Beifei was that a small iron ball was buzzing around like a tracker, recording the entire event.

When Xiang Beifei was pulled into the cave by the huge tongue, the small iron ball followed him, resulting in complete darkness on screen, obscuring the view. When it flew back out of the cave, it hovered like a headless fly, waiting for Xiang Beifei.

Everyone thought that after being taken by the tongue, Xiang Beifei would crush a Teleportation Sphere to return, but after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of him!

He hadn\'t teleported back!

By now, the Claw-tailed Monkeys that had been pursuing Xiang Beifei had already left, clearly not daring to provoke the creature in the cave.

"That tongue, it belongs to a Ghost Giant Snail! Yuchi Shen, where are the two people you sent to protect him?" Ye Changfeng asked furiously.

Yuchi Shen also stood up with a grim expression. Although he wanted to make things difficult for Xiang Beifei, he had never intended for Xiang Beifei to die.

At this moment, on the large screen at the training ground, two boys dressed in camouflaged green outfits appeared – they were Guo Han and Sun Rui, sent by Yuchi Shen. They only showed up now and appeared at the entrance of the Ghost Giant Snail\'s den.

The small iron ball floated above them, circling around them leisurely.

"Are these the two you sent? They only take action after everyone is gone?" Ye Changfeng glared at Yuchi Shen with uncontainable fury, "Aren\'t you going to use the teleportation sphere to forcibly bring Xiang Beifei back right now!"

Yuchi Shen fell silent for a moment before saying, "The teleportation array I inscribed on the iron ball can only be used near that marsh. He can only be teleported back once he returns to the vicinity of the array."

"You—"

Ye Changfeng looked extremely angry.

Teleportation spheres were not omnipotent. The outer wilderness beyond the boundaries was very dangerous, with various strange forces rampant. These forces would suppress human systematic abilities, hence humans faced great restrictions when moving around in the outer wilderness.

Additionally, with the vast expanse of the outer wilderness, the distance of teleportation was greatly limited. A rough positioning area was needed. Once deviated from this area, the teleportation sphere would become useless.

When Xiang Beifei was being chased by the Claw-tailed Monkey in the marsh, Yuchi Shen originally contemplated forcibly pulling him back. However, considering that Guo Han and Sun Rui were nearby, he refrained. As a result, Xiang Beifei ran out of the teleportation range.

And Yuchi Shen did not inform Xiang Beifei about the characteristics of the teleportation sphere nor did he warn Xiang Beifei not to stray away from the marsh. When sending Xiang Beifei over, he explained nothing, leading Xiang Beifei to be unaware of these details!

"Elder Luo—"

Ye Changfeng turned to look for Luo Laotou, but apart from a pile of sunflower seed shells, there was no sign of Luo Laotou.

Luo Laotou had left without anyone noticing when.

Ye Changfeng had a pretty good idea of where he had gone.

"Yuchi Shen, if anything happens to this kid, I will never let you off the hook!"

Ye Changfeng left these harsh words behind, took a step, and without further hesitation, vanished on the spot, determined to head into the outer wilderness by himself.

"Enter and check on that Ghost Giant Snail, be careful," Yuchi Shen ordered Guo Han and Sun Rui through Xiaofei Ball\'s communicator.

Xiaofei Ball was a monitoring device but also served the purpose of transmitting signals. Since the area where Xiang Beifei was located, the South Mountain Second District of the Cultivated Domain, was still relatively close to human habitation, the interference from the wilderness forces was not too strong, so the signal transmission was still functioning.

Guo Han and Sun Rui exchanged a glance. They were quite familiar with the Ghost Giant Snail, knowing how to kill it. The creature was fragile with low defensive power, which is why it hid in the cave, relying on its protection. However, its tongue was very troublesome; even they had to be cautious about it.

At that moment, the huffing sound echoed once more from inside the den. The Ghost Giant Snail obviously smelled the two people at its entrance, and its tongue lashed out violently.

"Now\'s our chance!" Sun Rui shouted.

In Guo Han\'s hand appeared a glass sphere. As the Ghost Giant Snail\'s tongue swept toward him, he had already thrown the glass sphere at it, and at the same time, he swiftly retreated more than ten meters.

The tongue did not catch him, but the glass sphere landed on the long tongue and was retracted back into the cave.

Bang!

A puff of blue smoke emanated from the cave.

"We can go in now!" Guo Han shouted.

The glass sphere was designed specifically for combating the Ghost Giant Snail. They had been allowed to enter the outer wilderness because they were well-trained. They had prepared for what kinds of desolate beasts might be in this area and what tools to use against specific species.

Guo Han and Sun Rui had studied the Ghost Giant Snail and thus had prepared many tools, including this glass sphere, which were invented by students specializing in desolate beasts.

The school had majors dedicated to researching the weaknesses of desolate beasts, and students in that field would study desolate beasts\' vulnerabilities, creating various items to combat specific types of desolate beasts.

These items could be requested from the school\'s labs, and any student venturing into the outer wilderness must carry these specific protective tools, just in case.

However, Xiang Beifei had none of these tools; Yuchi Shen did not prepare any for him, and simply had him come over with a teleportation sphere. Xiang Beifei did not even know what to call this long-tongued desolate beast, and this asymmetry of information put him at a substantial disadvantage.
