Thump!
A figure covered in sticky, corrosive gastric acid fell to the ground. After landing, the figure immediately removed the faceguard that covered their face and breathed in the surrounding air with an almost greedy attitude, revealing an expression of bliss.
"It feels so good to be alive!" After taking several deep breaths of air, the youth exhaled in one go, turned his head to look around, and then saw the being that had saved him from death's door.
It was a giant ape with thick, lustrous black fur. At the moment, the ape was giving him a "you're so useless" expression in a very human-like manner, and in its hand, it dragged a green-scaled giant python that was half-dead.
The python that had swallowed him as food had a twisted mouth, and a sticky, undefined liquid mixed with blood continually flowed out, looking thoroughly beaten.
