Luo Fan looked at the swamp, then turned and left.

This place was really too disgusting. His stomach felt a little uncomfortable.

After walking along the same path for a while, Luo Fan returned to the rat cave, which was densely packed with countless rat holes.

Every hole had a nest of rats, and there were dead baby rats in them.

“If it really doesn’t work, I can only return to that store temporarily. As time passes, the food in this city will decrease. I have to think of a way to leave this city, and I have to choose a place where there are no humans. If I were to encounter a human in my ghastly state, I would definitely be regarded as a monster.”

At this moment, he had already started to consider how he should leave this place.

After staying in the rat hole for a month, all the “food” in the city should have been gone.

Luo Fan’s “food” was very complex, but most of it had already rotted.

Furthermore, this city was still enveloped by the great smog. For some reason, the great smog had not dissipated for a long time.

In fact, he was very glad that he had found this rat hole and had come down to explore it.

If he had left the supermarket to explore inside the great smog, he might not have encountered any danger so far.

Luo Fan thought as he walked in the hole.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something he had not noticed.

“This stretch of land has been crushed, and the surrounding walls have also been brushed against. Some giant creature must have passed through here.”

Luo Fan stopped in his tracks and started to speculate.

When he was passing through here earlier, he did not see these traces, but when he came back, he saw them.

There was a giant creature underground, and it had just passed through here.

Luo Fan did not dare to go forward for a moment, because if he did, he might run into the giant beast.

He had lived here for a month and had never come across any giant creature.

At this moment, Luo Fan suddenly remembered that doctor’s diary.

In order to facilitate the recollection of this doctor, Luo Fan had taken the liberty of giving him a name, Dr. Rat.

[August 12]

“There seems to be something underground. I wonder if it’s my imagination.”

“I have heard a great commotion.”

“Little Golden and Little Silvers are all very frightened.”

“At that time, Dr. Rat, who lived here, had also heard a great commotion. Little Golden and the Little Silvers were all very afraid. This proves that it should be a terrifying creature.”

“Rats are more sensitive to smells than humans. Perhaps, Little Golden and the Little Silvers had sensed something at that time.”

“Underneath this Kingdom of Rats, there exists a giant creature.”

And now, that giant beast had appeared.

Luo Fan stared fixedly at the road in front of him. He dared not go back.

However, even if he did not go back, he also dared not walk around blindly.

What if he took the wrong path and accidentally discovered the lair of that giant beast?

That would be walking right into a trap.

Luo Fan looked at the forked paths around him. Each felt like an abyss.

And he could not distinguish them because each of them had traces of having been trampled.

This proved that the giant beast had been active here for some time.

At this moment, Luo Fan could not help but be glad that he was still alive. It was really great.

“There’s only one way out. I’ll return to the swamp. I don’t have the chance to return to the surface now even if I want to.”

Luo Fan suddenly sighed. This abrupt issue with the giant beast had blocked his path.

“I wonder where this giant beast has gone. I hope it won’t take away my supernatural crystal.”

He could not help but worry. It had not been easy for him to obtain such a heavenly treasure. He could not possibly be willing to give it away.

However, when Luo Fan looked at the trampled marks on the ground, he could only sigh. It was impossible for him to win.

“I’ll go back to the swamp first. I wonder how this giant beast’s sense of smell is. I will be able to mask my own scent beside the swamp. And if I encounter that giant beast, I can even jump into the swamp. I hope I won’t encounter it.”

Luo Fan thought worriedly and finally decided to return to the vicinity of the swamp first.

He could not take the road ahead anymore. He might run into that giant beast.

As for that supernatural crystal, Luo Fan could not think about it anymore. If it had been taken away by the giant beast, he would not have the ability to get it back. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was such a pity.

He backed his body away cautiously, and after a while, he came to the side of the swamp.

“It doesn’t make sense to always stay near this swamp.”

Luo Fan thought,

“There’s a giant beast ahead, so I can’t go back. But from here, I am not able to see if the giant beast has left or not.”

This was like a paradox. Luo Fan was safe here, but he would not be able to know the movements of the giant beast. If he were to leave, he might run into a threat.

However, if he were to leave this place to observe the giant beast, the moment he observed the giant beast leaving, he could be discovered by the giant beast, and would still end up dead.

There was no way out.

He could not figure out what to do. If he continued to stay here, he would also die.

How could he escape from here and successfully survive?

Just as he was feeling torn inside, he suddenly heard something stirred in front of him.

The movement had come from the direction of the rat hole. It was very light, and if one did not sense it carefully, one would not be able to feel it.

“Something is crawling.”

Luo Fan had found out from the sound, and that creature was very close to him.

“Not good!”

At this moment, Luo Fan suddenly saw a giant head sticking out from the corner.

The creature’s movements were very light, so much so that Luo Fan had misjudged.

At this moment, the giant beast was already close enough to him, and Luo Fan could clearly see what kind of monster it was.

A huge snake, at least ten meters long.

Its body was covered in tiny, smooth scales. It made no sound as it brushed against the ground.

Luo Fan had seen traces of the ground having been trampled, and they should have been caused by the actions of the large snake.

The head of the snake was very big, and it looked like it could swallow a human. It looked at Luo Fan with its large, bell-like bronze eyes.

It was curious as it had never seen such a strange creature before.

A thought came to his mind, and Luo Fan guessed that the situation might be such.

“Why does this creature look so strange? I’ve never seen it before. Is it delicious?”

“By the way, I seem to have heard of such a creature from my distant cousin, the Sea Snake.”

“It seemed to be called an octopus…”

As to whether these were its thoughts, Luo Fan was not able to know.

However, the large snake in front of him did not attack him immediately.

Luo Fan glanced at the large snake and then at the swamp behind him.

There were also disgusting floating objects and corpses in the swamp.

“Sigh! I’ve already encountered even more disgusting places. Why am I still hesitating now?”

Luo Fan sighed in his heart and then leaned backwards. His entire eyeball fell into the swamp.

The entire eyeball sank rapidly and came into the mud inside the swamp.

His vision was instantly obscured, and the surrounding scene became blurry.

When the large snake saw this, it recovered its senses.

It moved its huge body and came to the side of the swamp.

Seeing such a strange creature fall in, it seemed to feel somewhat remorseful.

However, it looked at the filthy swamp again and slithered away.

The rat hole was about to become a large snake nest..
