In just a few minutes, Li Ziran had completely abandoned all plans to search. He knew that finding the Frozen Continent was utterly impossible.
Hippo Ancient City was dissolving. Black patterns, like bayonets, were disassembling its shell, each strike taking away a piece of city brick.
Lina was tense, Medusa was at a loss, and even Goni had become somewhat blind. No one had expected Hippo Ancient City to be capable of being disassembled. This great city-state was now like pork on a chopping block, being gnawed away bit by bit.
