In the end, it all converged on Kang.
Everyone was stunned.
Shi Linhu's axe hand froze in midair. He felt hollowed out, the entire surge of vigor he had unleashed moments ago sucked dry by this pig.
"Hrrrnkh!!!"
Kang let out a roar of utter displeasure.
Every black bristle stood on end, his two enormous ears flapped, and his beady eyes were shot through with red.
In his simple pig brain, these two-legged beasts had been shouting, glowing, and striking poses, seriously delaying that dark-faced fiend Shi Hou from putting the meat in the wok.
The meat's already on the chopping board, and the oil's smoking. What are you all doing, setting the mood?
Not only won't you let me eat, you're making a racket!
Kang was angry, and the consequences were grave.
He opened his great maw and sucked hard.
All the blue streams of light filling the sky plunged into his belly, which swelled as though being inflated. Golden patterns flickered across his gleaming black skin, and muffled thunder could even be heard rumbling inside.
"This pig..."
Shi Hou even forgot to flick the ladle in his hand. This was the first time he had seen Kang actively plunder someone else's rune power.
Then Kang turned his head toward the only little figure in the clearing still shining with golden light-Shi Hao.
He did not siphon away Shi Hao's runes as well.
Because Shi Hao was his eating buddy.
"Pffft-!"
Kang braced both hind legs firmly against the ground, and his belly, swollen to its limit, suddenly contracted.
An enormously thick pillar of brilliant blue light erupted from his snout and slammed into the phantom suanni behind Shi Hao.
Boom!
Shi Hao's tiny body shuddered violently.
The suanni behind him changed.
It was no longer a simple outline
