"Creak, creak."
The corpse of the cursed demon, no longer maintained by any vital essence, proved to be no challenge for the skeletal centipede's consumption. In no time at all, it had been gnawed clean.
"Burp~"
After letting out a satisfied burp, the skeletal centipede moved to Su Ran's side, looking at him with eyes full of joy and dependence.
"Had your fill? Time to head out!"
Su Ran returned the skeletal centipede to his pet space to digest its meal, and then followed the same path back, striding up the stone stairs toward the place bathed in light above.
To Su Ran's surprise, he didn't catch sight of Banana. He guessed the guy must have left the cave early, likely because his ears couldn't bear the torture any longer, and had gone out for a breath of fresh air.
Guided by the winding stone staircase, Su Ran smoothly exited the cave, the intermittent beams of sunlight striking his face felt a bit uncomfortable after the darkness below.
