The burly Fourth Tier Spirit Chicken had now been reduced to a much smaller heap of withered bones.
Its feathers had completely turned to powder, scattering at the slightest breeze.
Only a layer of bumpy chicken skin remained stretched over its protruding skeleton.
Through that skin, a mass of dark purple light could faintly be seen flickering.
Sensing the increasingly rich vitality within, Wang Ba considered for a moment, then flicked a finger, piercing the nearly transparent chicken skin.
This revealed a dark purple, eggshell-like embryo the size of a human head, gently rising and falling inside the chicken's skeleton.

"This is a Moruo Colossal Elephant?"
Wang Ba looked
