Muscles tense, his insides creaked, the Demon God Cauldron activated, and the devoured wolf was digested on the spot.
It was insane!
The huge body shrank under the naked eye, devoured in just a few breaths. Xu Hei’s body was now back to normal and released black ash to make room for the next meal.
It all happened so fast that the wolves only now woke up to find they were missing a member of the pack.
“I’m so hungry!”
Xu Hei jumped for another wolf, maw wide open as he bit on its head.
Tensing his throat, the wolf went down like fine wine.
The pack scrambled in panic from witnessing such horror unleashed on their kind. Two of them had already suffered at the hands of this monster’s appetite!
Xu Hei burped black ash, having finished digesting.
“More!”
His tail whipped out and he lunged like a wraith in the pure white snow, aiming for another wolf.
A gulp and a swallow were all it took to take another life.
“Awo!”
The wolves ran for their lives.
Just as they avoided the demon bear, they now fled in terror from Xu Hei’s bottomless feeding spree.
Xu Hei wasn’t one to let an easy meal pass him by, darting like lightning and gorging on their flesh like a ravenous ghoul, one wolf at a time.
Four more fell victim to his insatiable appetite, gone in the belly of the beast.
It was like he wasn’t feasting on wolves, but chickens.
“Nowhere to run, little rabbits!”
Devouring the wolves, Xu Hei’s hunger only grew, unable to be content with just that little snack. He felt like he hadn’t eaten in years, a raging beast hellbent on satiating his endless hunger.
The Demon God Cauldron complemented his voracity by digesting every meal in moments and sending him signals for more and more.
Xu Hei’s most primal instinct took over his mind, that of an apex predator, to kill unchecked.
He moved like a flash, taking down one wolf after another, yet all he saw were rabbits. It didn’t take long to devour most of them, leaving only stragglers escaping because he was too busy gorging on another member of their pack.
Xu Hei’s appetite was sated at last, his digestion slowing down.
Despite that hearty meal, something was missing.
Xu Hei looked around.
Roar!
The demon bear glared at him, its lone eye filled with malice as it bared its fangs in warning.
Xu Hei coiled and raised his head high and fearlessly sized the new prey.
He gasped in wonderment.
“Heavens Almighty! Now that’s a pig! How did it get so big?”
Xu Hei saw no bear, only a fat and juicy pig.
He’d never seen a fatter pig in his life. Could he even swallow one four meters large?
“I’ll know once I try!”
Xu Hei lunged at the demon bear.
Roar!
The bear responded to his aggression by roaring.
He was badly damaged, missing an eye, and limping, but he would never allow any demon to challenge him on his turf.
It swiped a paw at Xu Hei, the wind whistling between his claws from the sheer speed.
But Xu Hei only saw the fat pig raise its hoof to stomp him.
“Damn, since when do pigs retaliate?”
Xu Hei was outraged. His mind wasn’t quite right from all the wine, but it didn’t slow him down at all. On the contrary, it freed him of all limiters and boosted his strength instead.
Xu Hei twisted in the air like rubber, slipping out of the attack’s reach and landing on the bear’s paw.
The fierce winds didn’t blow him away, for he used them to jump on the bear’s face.
Xu Hei’s sharp tail stood straight, its scales poised to strike. He jabbed it into the demon bear’s only remaining eye.
Splat!
Roar!
The demon boar went berzerk as it roared from pain, flailing its paws at its face to swat Xu Hei away.
“Ow!”
Xu Hei reacted as it got thrown away, yet he didn’t feel even a prickle. It only worked to anger him.
“Shit! Now a pig has the nerve to hit me? I’ll bite your head off!”
Xu Hei went on the offensive, biting the demon bear’s face.
Roar!
The demon bear went for a grab, but Xu Hei lashed out with his tail, severing the paw.
“You feel like fighting, do ya piggy? Take this!”
Xu Hei’s eyes turned savage. He jumped back into the air once he landed and whipped his large tail across the demon bear’s face.
The blind bear flayed its paw around in the hope of getting him.
Wham!
The bear’s head was looped off with a cracking sound, sailing thirty meters through the air and splattering against a tree.
The demon bear’s body froze and toppled over.
“You wanna hit me, do ya? Take this, and that!”
Xu Hei was far from over, unleashing all his rage on the carcass and making mincemeat out of it.
He was left panting after the exertion, spent.
A cool wind blew, and snowfall resumed.
Xu Hei shivered and took in his surroundings.
“Right, there’s a bear and wolves around here. I can’t waste any moment, or they’ll steal my food! I have to eat it all.”
Xu Hei might be seeing things, but nothing could cure his paranoia.
He bit on the demon bear’s legs and worked his way up. He found that the demon bear was just too large—over four meters. Xu Hei was halfway there and was stuck with half the bear hanging out of his mouth.
But if there was one area he wouldn’t compromise, that was feeding.
He would flinch in battle, be extra cautious of his own shadow, but back down when eating? He might as well kill himself and start his next life.
“Come on, get in there already!”
Xu Hei’s skin tightened, showcasing his incredible flexibility as he forced himself to eat beyond his limit.
He still managed to close his mouth in the end, finishing the largest meal of his life.
His size now reached four meters, as big as a bear, with scales stretched tight over his meal, bloated and unnatural.
He was no different than a balloon made of snakeskin. A perfect case of biting more than you could chew.
Xu Hei went so far with his greed that he couldn’t budge or twitch. Even his mouth ended up hanging open, for heaven’s sake. This was how he blacked out.
The Demon God Cauldron went to work the minute he did, digesting the bear meat at insane speeds.
Intense heat and vitality surged through Xu Hei’s muscles and bones, rousing him awake.
Xu Hei opened his eyes with renewed clarity.
His vision steadied, his body was no longer hot, and his head was clear.
“Eh? Where am I?”
