The kitten opened its mouth, and in that instant, a dense mass of flesh-colored sturdy tentacles danced out from its mouth, resembling the tentacles of a giant octopus. Each one was as thick as an adult human's thigh, and covered with powerful suction cups.
Zi Ji stumbled backward. Each tentacle, nearly ten meters long, lashed out towards her like a Skynet, scaring not only her but also the others below. They screamed and retreated in horror.
"Whoosh!"
A tentacle whipped over, coiling around Zi Ji's body. Then, tentacles whipped over from all directions, ensnaring Zi Ji completely.
"Ah!"
With a scream, she was pulled toward the mouth of the Devouring Beast. Despite her size, she was swiftly swallowed by the monster, and those terrifying "octopus tentacles" all retracted.
The Devouring Beast stuck out its tongue and licked around its mouth before once again turning into the harmless kitten.
However, the next second, its body flashed with light and it disappeared from the spot.
Lin Yi knew that at that moment, the Devouring Beast had followed its master, Zi Ji, to another plane.
He lifted his right hand, and with a flick, a screen of light appeared in mid-air, displaying the scene where Zi Ji was now.
Who would have thought that the two rewards Zi Ji won today would give her the chance to travel through other planes twice? The others didn't know whether to envy or pity her.
On the screen at this moment, Zi Ji was in a forest.
Only this forest had very tall trees, and a smell of decay intermittently permeated the area.
Zi Ji frowned and sniffed the air. Here, she couldn't even tell the directions apart. Just then, a flicker of light and shadow appeared beside her. The kitten showed up, and Zi Ji, startled, quickly dodged to the side.
"Meow?"
The Devouring Beast looked innocently at its master and affectionately ran over to nuzzle Zi Ji's leg with its furry body, but she stood there stiffly, not daring to move.
After a moment, Zi Ji calmed down and surveyed her surroundings. Suddenly, she felt the ground shake violently, as if an earthquake were imminent.
What's going on? Could it be another perilous plane?
However, the freedom here seemed much more relaxed than at the East Sea Dragon Palace. It probably couldn't compare to the Primordial Chaos Plane.
Soon, a billow of dust rose in one direction, and upon closer inspection, Zi Ji finally understood why the ground was shaking!
It was a stampede of huge creatures!
These creatures stood ten to twenty meters tall, with necks long and skinny, yet their bodies were enormously bulky, resembling snakes above the neck and elephants below.
And with his limited knowledge, Lin Yi still recognized what these creatures were.
Long-necked Giant Dragons!
This is freaking dinosaurs!
Lin Yi looked at the panel in front of him, which displayed:
[Blue Planet, Jurassic period]
Zi Ji was actually brought to the Jurassic era of the Blue Planet! Holy crap!
The herd of Long-necked Giant Dragons was running like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, they were nearly upon her. Though Zi Ji was still in shock, the Devouring Beast reacted first.
Once again, it opened its mouth, and hundreds of terrifying flesh-colored tentacles instantly stretched out fifty to sixty meters, trapping the approaching Long-necked Giant Dragons in mid-air.
"Roar—"
The air was filled with one roar after another, as Zi Ji stood by in astonishment.
Soon, the tentacles retracted, and the Devouring Beast swallowed those Long-necked Giant Dragons back into its mouth, while a lucky few managed to "die" and escape.
Next, Zi Ji finally understood why these behemoths were running frantically. Behind them, a dragon-class soul beast with a mouth full of sharp fangs was in pursuit.
"Blue Electric Overlord Dragon?"
Zi Ji paused slightly, and inexplicably, she blurted out that name.
This was a T-rex, indeed similar in appearance to the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon.
Seeing Zi Ji and the cat, the T-rex opened its massive mouth and roared furiously as it quickly pounced towards them. Just as Zi Ji was about to counterattack, the Devouring Beast opened its mouth again, and a sky-covering array of tentacles wrapped around the T-rex.
"Aoow~"
The ferocious T-rex, caught mid-air, let out a mournful howl, a fear Zi Ji knew all too well.
"Gulp."
The little cat just damn swallowed another one.
In just under a minute, this little cat had consumed over thirty dinosaurs, including a T-rex.
Lin Yi's mouth twitched; these dinosaurs, sent to other planes, would probably give rise to numerous parallel universes.
But that wasn't his concern... Right, it was about time to call these two creatures back.
Lin Yi raised his right hand, emitting a glow of seven colors from his palm. Zi Ji and the Devouring Beast flew out of the screen of light and landed on the platform.
The audience below seemed as if they had just witnessed an unconventional drama, still no one remembered to make a sound or pass a comment.
Lin Yi didn't care about Zi Ji's current mood and spoke to himself:
"The Devouring Beast's characteristic is that it can devour anything, but the premise is that its tentacles successfully capture the target. The speed and reach of those tentacles are limited, so the drawback is that it's easy to evade, especially for the strong. However, once captured, all levels will be ignored, and it will swallow everything."
"Besides, the little cat itself also possesses a certain attack power, just a little stronger than a common house cat. The wounds it inflicts cannot heal, regardless of what healing abilities are used… That's all about the setting of this reward."
Zi Ji crouched silently next to the orange cat, hesitating whether to touch it or not, which made Lin Yi unable to help but snicker.
Eventually, she overcame the fear in her heart, picked up the orange cat, and ran off the stage, like a cat burglar, hopping away.
"Master, I have finished," said Gu Yuena, swallowing and twitching at the corner of her eye as she looked at the cat: "Keep it away from me…"
"Yes…"
Zi Ji stepped back quietly and put the little cat down, soothing it.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena looked toward Bi Ji and pondered for a moment before speaking, "Enough, I'll attack first then help you after. I'm quite impatient to test the power of these elemental reactions."
"Alright, Master."
Bi Ji obediently replied.
Gu Yuena walked towards the stage and exchanged glances with Lin Yi. Suddenly, she felt awkward, a faint blush swept across her fair cheeks, and she forcefully composed herself: "I'm ready… to attack, I want to try the reward I just received from Di Tian, do you have anything to add?"
There was really nothing to add… Just as Lin Yi was about to finish his thought, a prompt appeared on the panel in front of him.
[Since the Original God cosplay reward and elemental reaction bonus come from the same plane, the two used together will provide an additional ten percent damage bonus for each elemental reaction.]
It really does seem well-reasoned… Lin Yi read the panel's content, thinking to himself but somehow feeling it was the System's sense of mischief.
Is that really a kind reminder about the bonus? It feels more like you just want to see Gu Yuena cosplay someone.
