The moment the Shapeshifting Grass entered its stomach, the Purple Beast's face twisted. Bones throughout its body began to crackle, and the purple scales all over it started to fall away. Its purple pupils turned bloodshot, and its gaze was filled with pain.
"Awoo~~" The Purple Beast let out a hoarse, agonized howl. Opening its mouth, it spat out a profound formation. Medicinal herbs of all shapes and colors were swept into its mouth, and without even chewing, it swallowed them whole.
"Just how much stuff did this guy steal..." Ling Li twitched at the corner of his mouth as he looked at the herbs scattered across the ground. Not one of them was familiar to him; every single one was a rare and precious treasure!
