The five Jackal Wolfmen corpses began lurching forward, their footsteps unsteady, their shoulders hanging loose, and their mouths slightly ajar .

Just as the foremost Jackal Wolfman corpse turned a corner, a gust of wind blew down the corridor . In the next second, the Jackal Wolfman corpse's head was knocked clean off by a st.u.r.dy wooden stick that had swung out of nowhere . The corpse's head exploded with a squelch .

A porky, meaty claw firmly clasped the corpse's shoulder before dragging it away, the same way an overly intimate brother would pull his little brother into an embrace . The porky claw was oily and reddish . There were also tufts of white fur on it . For some reason, Gao Peng was reminded of roasted pork legs .

The second Jackal Wolfman corpse, which continued shambling after the first, also had its head exploded before being dragged away around the corner in the same manner .

Gao Peng and Dumby looked at each other .

As the third Jackal Wolfman corpse began shambling forward, this time, the White Steel Bladed Beast decided to follow it . Considering its small stature, it was able to stand inconspicuously behind the reanimated corpse .

Suddenly, a feeler tapped on the back of Gao Peng's head . He turned around and saw a huge jellyfish floating in the air just behind his head . Silly had one tentacle wrapped around a juice box . It whispered in Gao Peng's ear, “Gao Peng, what are you guys doing…?”

Gao Peng pressed his index finger against his lips, shus.h.i.+ng it . Hugging its juice box tighter in its tentacles, Silly obediently kept quiet and watched what was going on alongside Gao Peng and the others .

The wooden stick slammed through the corpse's head . At that moment, the White Steel Bladed Beast erupted from behind the corpse and disappeared around the corner in a black-red blur . A couple of frightened squeals followed .

Dumby began walking down the corridor, with Gao Peng close behind it . As they turned the corner, the sight of red-skinned pigmen lying in their own blood greeted them . Some of these red-skinned pigment were bigger and bulkier than the rest . Their bodies were wrapped in dead animal skin, held together with vines .

These pigmen lay on the ground, groaning in pain . Some of them had reverted to their quadrupedal ways and ran off on all fours .

“We're going to venture deeper into the labyrinth . There's no need to keep any of them alive,” commented Gao Peng .

Dumby lowered its head as it began working its power through the bodies of these pigmen . A moment later, there was a series of cracks and pops coming from the pigmen's necks . After a few spasms, their bodies fell limply to the ground .

Upon closer observation, Gao Peng could see that the strips of skin around their necks were ruptured, revealing their twisted spines, which had pierced through their skin . Blood oozed out from their wounds…

The scent of blood now filled the air . Looking at the pigmen's stats, Gao Peng heaved a sigh and said, “All right . We'll just murder our way through this labyrinth . ”

[Monster Description]: They were originally the gray-skinned pigs that once roamed the plains, dim-witted yet docile . After accepting the doctrines pa.s.sed down by the labyrinth G.o.d, they became even more bloodthirsty and developed a taste for meat .

Gao Peng knew what the Bloodscent ability was . This ability allowed monsters that possessed it to become even more perceptive of the smell of blood . They would also be stimulated by the smell of their enemy's blood in combat, the same way the human body would be stimulated by adrenaline in a high-tension situation .

These pigmen must have been alerted to their presence by the blood of the Jackal Wolfmen . Unfortunately, none of Gao Peng's familiars had the ability to mask scents . Even if they had, they wouldn't have been able to hide their scents completely from the labyrinths' inhabitants .

However, what had piqued Gao Peng's curiosity the most was the mention of a labyrinth G.o.d in the monster description section . This was the first time Gao Peng had come across these two words .

He thought of all the labyrinths spread out across the southern region of this place . Suddenly, a strange thought occurred to Gao Peng . Could this labyrinth G.o.d be the creator of these labyrinths? Does an actual G.o.d exist in this world?

This idea seemed incredibly exciting to him . Gao Peng licked his dry lips . He had never believed in the existence of a G.o.d .

All manner of legendary creatures were now tamed in this world as familiars, from dragons to the Bi Fang bird . Gao Peng couldn't imagine what this G.o.d person was supposed to be .

Maybe it's just a familiar like everything else in this world, only stronger . Who knows, I may even be able to tame a couple of these G.o.ds as my own familiars . That would be awesome .

Suddenly, the sound of marching footsteps echoed from the depths of the labyrinth . The sun was s.h.i.+ning down on one of the walls . Long shadows fell across it at that moment .

Red-Skinned Sanguine Pig Demons surged forth from the corridor up ahead . As there were just too many of them, some of them were even trampled to the ground by their own comrades . They roared and let puffs of white mist out of their nostrils when they saw Gao Peng and company on the other end of the corridor .

Gao Peng noticed that these pigmen had multiple rings of light beneath their hooves . These rings of light began stacking on top of one another until they formed huge hexagrams that slowly spun beneath their legs .

This was the pigmen's Bloodscent Aura, which served to convert any damage they dealt their enemies into restorative energy for themselves . This ability was best suited for attrition warfare .

Looking at Dumby furtively out of the corner of its eye, the White Steel Bladed Beast realized that Dumby was exuding a dangerous aura . Dumby held out its left hand and gently flicked it in the horde's direction . Countless bone spikes shot out from deep beneath the ground . However, before they could reach their mark, they were stopped short in mid-air, as if an invisible wall was blocking their paths .

Dumby was stunned for a moment . No sooner had it recovered from its initial surprise than the foremost Red-Skinned Sanguine Pig Demon appeared 100 feet away from it .

It shook its head, and the white of its bones peeled away as it entered its Yin Soul Dominator state . It pressed out a hand . In an instant, a huge invisible hand pierced through all of time and s.p.a.ce, wiping away everything in front of Dumby .

The pigman's soul faded away like flowing sand .

A wind blew down the corridor . All the Red-Skinned Sanguine Pigmen fell stiffly to the ground . The pigmen's confused squeals were cut short, as if an invisible force was holding them down by their necks . Who had known that there would come a time when these Red-Skinned Sanguine Pig Demons would come to know fear?

Dumby took a step forward, ripples spreading out across the fabric of s.p.a.ce around it . Its bones were slowly turning into a dark golden shade . When its foot hit the floor, it was back in its Skeleton Dominator form . Dumby walked briskly past the fallen Red-Skinned Sanguine Pig Demons .

As it strode past, the pigmen's souls evaporated from their bodies and merged into Dumby's body . One by one, their skeletons rose to their feet .

Dumby's voice echoed in the labyrinth . “Wait here, Master . I'll take a look inside . ”
