Boom—!!
Amidst the deafening explosion, the massive underground space shook violently, and debris rained down from the dome.
A blinding, incandescent white light erupted with the explosion, instantly engulfing Slime Octopus's enormous body, momentarily bleaching the vision of all Monsters!
A violent shockwave followed closely, sweeping out with brute force!
Many Wolf-Level Monsters, who were waiting to watch the show, were like leaves in a gale, caught off guard and directly thrown by the terrifying energy aftermath!
Several unlucky ones crashed into the hard rock walls, breaking bones, tearing muscles, and bleeding from their heads!
For a time, wails filled the air, mixed with sounds of chewing and swallowing from those taking advantage of the chaos.

【Killed Tiger-level Monster "Slime Octopus", gained Origin Points × 28!】
A crisp system notification rang in Han Sen's mind, confirming Slime Octopus's death.
Indeed, the stronger the Monster, the more Origin Points dropped upon killing it.
Just one Tiger-level middle-tier Slime Octopus dropped more than ten times the Origin Points of a Wolf-level Cockroach Monster!
The smoke and high-temperature steam from the explosion slowly dispersed, revealing the tall figure covered in grotesque black armor in the center of the arena.
Han Sen casually flicked off the remaining blue blood and brain matter mixture from his Sharp Fang, as if he had merely swatted a fly with ease.
His cold gaze slowly swept across the entire scene, like a monarch surveying his territory.
Dead silence!
The previously noisy and chaotic underground space was now enveloped in a deathly silence!
Most of the surviving Monsters were prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, not even daring to breathe loudly.
Their eyes, when looking at Han Sen, held only awe for the strong and bone-deep fear!
Even the few Tiger-level Monsters were sweating profusely, lowering their heads like docile sheep, not daring to act presumptuously in the slightest.
In just a few moves, he instantly killed Slime Octopus, who was once incredibly powerful in their eyes!
The scene was bloody and shocking, completely overturning their understanding of power levels!
Han Sen was very satisfied with this effect.
Establishing dominance must be thorough and shocking to save a lot of unnecessary trouble later.
He stepped towards the central area of the explosion, where the ground beneath his feet had already turned into a scorched crater.
At the bottom of the pit were only some severely carbonized broken remains, the last traces Slime Octopus left in this world.
He casually hooked up the largest piece of charred remains with his claw tip, about half a meter long, barely still recognizable as a part of a tentacle, sizzling with black smoke.
After weighing it, Han Sen turned around, facing the Monsters, who were as silent as cicadas in winter, and asked, "Does anyone know where this guy's room is?"
"Whoever can take me there, this will be their reward."
As his voice fell, the deathly atmosphere loosened a little.
The many Monsters looked at each other, their eyes flickering with both fear and a hint of unconcealed greed.
Although Slime Octopus was dead, he was still a Tiger-level Monster after all.
His flesh and blood were still a great tonic for lower-level Monsters, containing a lot of energy.
"Me, me, me! Sir, I know!"
After a brief silence, a shifty-eyed Wolf-level rat Monster excitedly raised his claw and shrieked, "Sir! I... I know where that scoundrel Slime Octopus's room is! I can take you there right now!"
He was small and thin, with unusually messy gray and white fur.
His voice trembled with excitement and fear, but his eyes were fixed on the charred remains in Han Sen's hand, filled with greed and longing!
"Very good, lead the way."
The rat Monster's eyes showed wild joy, and he scrambled to run ahead and lead the way.
Han Sen, under the respectful, fearful, and yet unconcealed greedy gazes of the Monsters, followed the rat Monster and disappeared into the depths of an inconspicuous side path.
It wasn't until the dark figure, emanating a terrifying aura, completely disappeared that the oppressive atmosphere in the underground space eased slightly.
But then, an even more frantic jealousy and greed burned in the eyes of every Monster.
"Damn it! That bug..."
"He killed Boss Octopus and took all the benefits!"
"Shh! Do you want to die? Didn't you see how Boss Octopus died?"
"It was an instant kill! This guy... is definitely not simple!"
"..."
Whispers arose, but were quickly suppressed by deeper fear.
Nonsense, the strongest Slime Octopus here was already dead without a complete corpse, with hardly any residue left. Even if they had a hundred guts, they wouldn't dare to provoke that killer at this time!
...
...
After a series of twists and turns in the dim underground passage, Han Sen followed the rat Monster to a secluded large door.
"It's here, Sir!"
Seemingly worried that Han Sen wouldn't believe him, the rat Monster, with sweat on his forehead, hastily explained, "My ability is digging tunnels, so I'm very familiar with the surrounding terrain!"
"I once hid in the dirt and personally saw Slime Octopus enter this passage. It must be this room!"
Han Sen nodded slightly, raised his fist, and punched the locked door!
Boom—!!
Pure physical strength erupted, the strong wind blowing the rat Monster over on the spot, and the large iron door, which bore the brunt, twisted and deformed, splitting into two!
Successfully opening the door, Han Sen stepped into Slime Octopus's room.
The interior of the room, which had been transformed into a grotto-like space, was very spacious, with an uneven, slippery, and sticky floor that made a "squish, squish" sound when stepped on.
The cave walls were covered with translucent slime, still slowly dripping down.
In the corner were piled messy bones, broken human items, and even a few small Monster corpses that hadn't fully decomposed, seemingly Slime Octopus's snack reserves.
Han Sen's gaze locked onto several wooden boxes piled there, and his heart stirred.
His intuition told him that these should be what he was looking for!
Slime Octopus was responsible for assigning feeding tasks and was good at embezzling the task rewards of lower-level Monsters, so he likely had a lot of stock on hand.
Seeing that the environment here perfectly matched Slime Octopus's style, Han Sen raised a hand and threw the relatively intact charred octopus remains to the trembling rat Monster behind him.
"Your reward."
"Thank you, Sir! Thank you, Sir!"
The rat Monster clutched the meat chunk, which emitted a strong burnt smell, as if he had found a treasure, trembling with excitement.
He even ignored the heat, directly opened his mouth full of Sharp Fangs, fiercely tore off a large piece, and swallowed it whole, a satisfied "gulp" sound coming from his throat.
Only after finishing gnawing did he remember Han Sen was still watching him, and the rat Monster immediately became flustered, sweating profusely from fear.
Han Sen casually asked, "By the way, what's your name?"
The rat Monster shuddered and quickly replied, "Sir, my name is Sharp Fang!"
"Got it, take your food and get out," Han Sen turned around, striding towards the suspicious wooden boxes inside the lair, while waving his hand, "Be careful not to die."
"Yes, yes! I understand, Sir! Thank you for the reminder, Sir! Thank you for the reward, Sir!"
Understanding Han Sen's meaning, Sharp Fang nodded repeatedly.
He turned and quickly dug a hole in the rock wall while hugging the octopus corpse, drilling in within moments, and then cleverly refilled the rock wall with gravel and dirt, making it look seamless.
Han Sen didn't look back, but with the powerful perception brought by Beast Instinct, Sharp Fang's movements naturally couldn't escape him.
This Wolf-level rat Monster was indeed one of the few intelligent and sensible guys. He didn't intend to silence him; keeping him might be useful later.
Han Sen walked forward and kicked open the rotten wooden box lid.
Inside the half-human-high wooden box, dark red chunks of meat, covered in blood vessels and granulation, were packed to the brim!
Although sealed for a long time, they still pulsed eerily and strongly, like freshly dug-out hearts!
They were Monster Cells!
