• As the group hurried toward the sealing grounds, the Primordial Behemoth's roars grew louder, and Lin Bai sensed its crushing pressure ahead.

• Poison Dragon Island Lord emerged badly wounded after poisoning the Soul-Devouring Fish Demons, hoped Lin Bai and the others would seal the gap, and Blood Sword Master vowed to give his all before continuing with the team.
