From a cuddly infant to a ferocious monster, the transformation happened so fast it caught everyone off guard. Its mouth ripped open, large enough to swallow Lin Tang whole. Inside, there was no tongue—only fire reaching tens of thousands of degrees, which erupted with a fierce, hissing roar.
Ever since it had gained consciousness, it had not eaten a single thing. It had starved for a day, a year, a century, a millennium! Finally! It had finally encountered a delicious meal of flesh and blood! It was so moved! And so…
BANG!
A tremendous boom echoed far and wide, making the entire cave dwelling shudder violently. The monster, along with the Furnace Tripod, was sent tumbling backward, rolling over and over. As the massive Furnace Tripod toppled, the monster slid out from inside. It quickly uncurled from its curled state, its body inflating to several meters in height.
It shook its ringing head.
WHOOSH!
