Tang San braced himself against the ground and tried to get up. The Asura Divine Power within him attempted to mend his broken bones.
But the Green-Scaled Eagle Cub gave him no chance to catch his breath.
It strode forward on its two thick legs. After just two steps, it had crossed more than ten meters and reached Tang San.
