"Feishan's trump troops don't seem all that impressive," Sigrdrifa commented.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. "Not necessarily."
His Eye of Evolution had already seen through the Lava Colossi's internal structure. They were far more than rigid stone statues on the surface.

However, no demon soul appeared. Instead, a creature the size of a pug darted out from the shattered stones.
The creature also resembled a dog, but it had astonishing jumping power. With a crack, it leaped dozens of meters away, landing securely in a safe spot as its two claws began digging rapidly.

"These magical beasts are called Magma Jumpers. They're demons with both earth and fire attributes. They can burrow into the ground and use the power of lava to arm themselves," Bai Xiaowen said. He had seen information on Magma Jumpers in the intelligence handbook provided by Lord Candice.
