Hah... hah...
On the riverbank, the stench of blood lingered in the air.
Su Yu stood beside the enormous corpse of the Black Rock Iron-Backed Crocodile, his chest heaving violently.
As the frenzied pounding of his heart gradually subsided, the crimson glow in his eyes receded like a tide. The All Attributes boost from Violent Ape Blood Fury dissipated along with it. Immediately after, a terrifying wave of weakness washed over him, clinging to his very bones.
At this moment, his muscles cried out in agony, his bones creaked, and it felt as if an invisible hand was violently churning his stomach, sending out signals of extreme hunger. His body swayed, on the verge of collapsing at any second.
Su Yu's face was pale, but he had come prepared.
He pulled a brocade box from his robes and took out the fist-sized, beeswax-colored Earth Yellow Essence.
Without any hesitation, he devoured it in a few bites as if it were a carrot.
BOOM!
