A small hand lightly rested on Xu Xiaoshou's shoulder.
This was the second time A-Jie had seen that demonic aura on "Mama." As part of its mission, it stepped in again without hesitation.
Yet before the absorption could begin, the red eyes of the Berserk Giant Xu Xiaoshou had transformed into shifted, and a trace of clarity returned to them.
"Wait, wait..."
He forced the words out, seemingly trying to endure the pain through sheer willpower.
A-Jie stopped.
It curiously examined Xu Xiaoshou, seemingly surprised that "Mama" could hold on by himself.
But the hulking figure on the other side was clearly about to lose control.
Zhang Taiying had only just recovered from his daze after being kicked away like a ball. As a Ghost Beast host who had already lost control, Xin Gugu could no longer restrain his murderous urge.
Yet just as he turned his head and prepared to attack the Berserk Giant beside him, A-Jie floated over and pressed a palm against his forehead.
Whoosh!
A beam of black light traveled along A-Jie's arm and merged into its body.
Immediately afterward, the Ancient Mang Ox head on Xin Gugu's back swayed once before exploding into fragments.
Without the support of that power, he shrank violently like a deflating ball.
Then his legs went limp, and he fell from the sky.
A-Jie withdrew its hand and lowered its gaze. When a "bang" sounded from the ground below, there was now an unconscious human lying there.
"Urghh—"
Xu Xiaoshou howled in agony.
He remembered that the last time he entered the Berserk Giant form, he had already barely managed to control the ability.
According to his original expectations, with enough experience to steady his mind this time, he should have been able to activate the awakening skill without issue.
