"...Hah!!"
Salamander Sphinx suddenly arched its back, every scale on its body standing on end as it let out a threatening hiss at Fang Mo.
"Eek?!"
Komatsu immediately crouched down and covered his head at the sight. "S-so scary!!!"
"No, man..."
However, when Fang Mo saw what Komatsu was doing, he almost lost it. He instinctively turned to look at Salamander Sphinx. "Scary? This little thing?"
But the instant Fang Mo turned his head to look at it.
Salamander Sphinx once again sensed an intense threat.
Without the slightest hesitation, it arched its body even harder. Even the venomous snake serving as its tail joined in with a warning hiss. "...Hah!!!"
"..."
Honestly, Fang Mo had no idea what to say when he saw that.
"Technically speaking..."
After holding it in for nearly half a minute, Fang Mo finally calmed himself and spoke. "A Kimi at your level has no right to hah at me."
"Hah!"
But Salamander Sphinx did not care about that. It bared its fangs again, then seemingly decided that was pointless and that it might as well strike first. After a brief hesitation, it raised a forepaw and slammed it down at Fang Mo without warning.
This had been mentioned before.
As the apex predator of the Gourmet Pyramid's ecosystem.
Salamander Sphinx was immensely powerful and enormous. As its claw came whistling down with a gale behind it, the wind pressure alone nearly sent Komatsu flying.
"?"
Fang Mo merely raised an eyebrow at the sight.
Then he lightly lifted his left hand and caught it. The enormous claw was effortlessly seized in his grasp.
Boom!!!
The colossal force traveled through Fang Mo's body and erupted beneath his feet. In a single instant, the ground within dozens of meters exploded with a boom, countless spiderweb-like cracks
