(Wishing all readers a Happy New Year!)
Wang Xiaoqiang soared into the sky, and with a thought, he summoned the Patterned Beast back. The Patterned Beast flew back from afar, covered in wounds. Behind it followed that male Disciple from Medicine God Valley, who was also covered in injuries.
Both man and beast were battle-scarred and exhausted after hours of clashing.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang took out ten Demon Crystals from the Sumeru Ring and tossed them to the Patterned Beast.
The Patterned Beast caught them in its mouth and swallowed them in one gulp.
Once the demonic power circulated, the Patterned Beast's strength surged, and it became vigorous again, as if the wounds on its body didn't hinder it at all, almost as if it had been injected with adrenaline.
"Roar!" The Patterned Beast turned and roared at the pursuing Male Disciple from Medicine God Valley.
Already weak, the explosion of the roar nearly made him collapse.
