BOOM!

The magma duck and the fat duck slammed together. The fat duck's body ran over eighty meters long, the magma duck's over a hundred and fifty — the result of the collision could be imagined.

Ring upon ring of a special radiation gave off from the magma duck's body.

Every jin beast that sensed this special radiation grew all the more restless and agitated, the look in their eyes as they turned toward the magma duck sharpening with killing intent.

Shen Cong felt this special radiation too.

But this relationship wasn't absolute.

Shen Cong felt that he, too, needed to devour it, to…
