Over at Li's side.
Ox's stomping on the ground was just a feint; its real goal was to run away.
Ox didn't have any ill intentions; it just wanted to quietly munch on grass.
Seeing the odd-looking Little Earth Dragon and the red chick assuming defensive stances, Ox immediately deployed the Inch Formation Technique, shrinking its body with the plan to flee before they could react.

In terms of digging and shrinking the earth, among peers, Li feared no one except Fuji. She even cracked a sly smile, indicating that she could handle challenges beyond her level.
The shrunken Ox had barely escaped three zhang before it was scooped out of the ground by Li, like catching a bug. Despite shrinking several times, Ox couldn't escape Li's grasp.
Even clay figures have their grievances, let alone Ox.
When Ox got angry, it grew larger.
