God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

His heart was pounding with excitement, his steps were light, and his entire body was filled with exhilaration.

With the great treasure almost in his grasp, he completely shook off the exhaustion from the battle.

Swinging his arms, humming a tune, he hopped and skipped forward across the barren wasteland.

He had even forgotten, he still hadn't found the way back to the safe zone.

Even if he obtained the Titan Foxtail Grass, it would be useless.

Qin Siyang searched for a long time, scanning the wasteland around him.

Yet, he saw no sign of the towering Titan Foxtail Grass that was supposed to be over ten meters tall.

Just as he was starting to wonder—

He suddenly noticed a massive plant growing in a sunken area ahead.

But its shape didn't match the grass he had imagined. It looked more like grass that had been flattened.

Though calling it "flattened" wasn't quite accurate.

Because this type of grass naturally grew along the ground, curling around its own roots and stems.

Its inner leaves were emerald green, the middle ones light green, and the outermost ones a yellowish-brown.

To confirm, Qin Siyang took out his phone and snapped a photo.

The recognition result was indeed [Titan Foxtail Grass].

"I thought Titan Foxtail Grass grew upright. Who would've thought it sprawled out like this?"

"Whoever named this has issues. Calling it the 'Titan' of Foxtail Grass made me keep looking for tall, upright leaves across the wasteland. I nearly missed it."

"What kind of Titan is barely over a meter tall but dozens of meters wide? Might as well call it [Giant Mat Grass] instead."

Curious, he reached out and touched the leaf surface of the Titan Foxtail Grass.

Soft, moist, and incredibly smooth.

Since he had found it, it was time to get to work.

He couldn't waste time.

Titan Foxtail Grass constantly emitted a scent that attracted gods.

If he didn't handle it quickly, he might end up in another grueling battle.

Qin Siyang crawled beneath the massive outer leaves of the Titan Foxtail Grass, moving forward on his stomach, preparing to pluck the round scale plates from the root first.

After crawling for several dozen meters, he finally saw the thick, robust root stem.

Qin Siyang immediately crouched down and began digging at the cold, hard soil with his hands.

With a body at Sequence Level Five, his strength far surpassed the resistance of the soil before him. With his immense power, digging felt as easy as scooping water from a stream.

His movements were so fast they became a blur.

After about half an hour, he had dug several dozen meters deep and finally saw the round scale plates at the root's tip.

These round scale plates were quite sparse, worth only a few hundred points at most.

A mere scrap of mosquito meat—Qin Siyang no longer cared about them.

He cut off the round scale plates.

Immediately, the root system of the Titan Foxtail Grass withered, crumbling into powder.

At the same time.

BOOM—

A heavy thud resounded from above.

Qin Siyang hurriedly climbed up to check.

He saw that the once neatly spread-out Titan Foxtail Grass had all collapsed to the ground, even its leaf colors had changed.

The emerald green inner leaves had turned scarlet red.

The light green middle leaves had turned bright yellow.

The yellowish-brown outer leaves had turned bluish-purple.

Qin Siyang touched the leaves.

The once juicy, water-filled leaves had shriveled up instantly.

They looked completely dead.

Looking at the scarlet inner leaves, Qin Siyang nodded slightly.

Just earlier, he had been puzzled. Why were the Titan Foxtail Grass leaves he found inside the Ice Crystal Moth's stomach red instead of green?

So it turned out that Titan Foxtail Grass leaves changed color upon death.

Qin Siyang counted. There were twenty-one outer leaves, fourteen middle leaves, and five inner leaves in total.

'Judging by the size of each leaf, none are even thirty meters long. The information said Titan Foxtail Grass leaves are usually between thirty to seventy-five meters… So this one must be on the smaller side.'

Even though it wasn't big, Qin Siyang was satisfied.

Just as he was about to store away the Titan Foxtail Grass, he suddenly heard movement from nearby.

His heart tensed.

'Could it be another medium-sized god approaching?'

He looked toward the source of the noise and saw three small figures moving toward the Titan Foxtail Grass.

As they drew closer, Qin Siyang finally recognized them. An enemy that had once given him trouble.

"Those are… Mutated Sickle?"

"Damn, I thought it was another big guy."

Relieved, he stepped forward, met their frenziedly swinging scythes, and sent them flying with three swift kicks.

Watching the three fallen Mutated Sickle, Qin Siyang spat.

'You low-tier trash dare to covet Titan Foxtail Grass?'

Now, he couldn't even be bothered to collect their round scale plates.

Wanting to avoid more trouble, he expanded his storage box, preparing to store away the Titan Foxtail Grass.

Before placing them inside, he even jumped into the storage box to check. After confirming there were no traces of urine from any medium-sized gods and that he hadn't relieved himself inside, he was finally at ease storing the Titan Foxtail Grass inside.

Since Titan Foxtail Grass wasn't that large to begin with, and had shriveled up, it only took up the space of a small building.

The bodies of the four medium-sized gods he had killed were several times larger than the Titan Foxtail Grass.

Compared to their corpses, the Titan Foxtail Grass was dwarfed.

Yet, it was the most precious material in his storage box at the moment.

The reason he said "at the moment" was because. No one had ever successfully hunted Lava Crocodiles or Ice Crystal Moths before.

No one knew what their materials were worth.

They had no market value, because they had never been sold.

Qin Siyang cherished everything inside his storage box.

Seeing it 80% full, he smiled in satisfaction.

Gurgle~ Gurgle~

Just as he was admiring his spoils and reveling in joy, his growling stomach snapped him back to reality.

He hadn't eaten yet.

Inside the Ice Crystal Moth's stomach, he had found Titan Foxtail Grass.

Even though they were just scraps, they were still worth some money.

Besides, eating god corpses didn't fill the stomach.

Qin Siyang then searched for the Corrosive Black Centipede's stomach.

The result was the same. It only contained undigested Titan Foxtail Grass.

With no other choice, he crawled into the Lava Crocodile's mouth, making his way toward its stomach.

But halfway through, he had to stop.

The insides of the Lava Crocodile were completely ruined.

Everything was corroded beyond recognition.

Moving through it felt like trudging through a swamp, each step making sickly squelching sounds.

Forget finding food, looking at the tangled, unidentifiable mess of meat chunks, he couldn't even tell what was what.

So, he backed out reluctantly.

His food recovery plan had failed.

With no other option, Qin Siyang opened his backpack with teary eyes.

He took out a compressed biscuit, broke it in half, and stored away one piece.

Then, after some thought, he broke the remaining half into two again. Eating only a quarter before drinking some water.

He gazed at the barren wasteland around him in frustration.

'Where the hell am I supposed to go now…?'

At that moment, fatigue surged over him along with his confusion.

'Doesn't matter where. I'll figure it out after I sleep.'

He crawled into the hollow left by the Titan Foxtail Grass's roots, dug himself a sleeping spot. And, with unease for the unknown future, drifted into sleep.
