His forelimbs were already partially dissolved, a normal sign of mutation in his body at this moment, leaving Jia Yan with significantly reduced offensive power. Once his body fully dissolved, his attack power would decrease even more drastically.
But before that, he still had to pound with his forelimbs to see where a large amount of Chaos Stones could be found!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to absorb enough Chaos Stones to complete his mutation before the arrival of the beings above ground.
What Jia Yan didn't know was the outcome of absorbing only half of the mutative substance; he didn't know what fate awaited him. But he did know that he didn't want to see it because all of his previous mutations had been perfect. This time, he was unwilling to accept any imperfections.
Boom!!
Finally, after moving several kilometers, Jia Yan thrust his forelimb into the soil, creating a huge hole and revealing a sight that delighted him!
This was an area dense with Chaos Stones!
