The giant-bellied tiger shrimp was battered and bruised, its carapace pocked and dented, nearly shattered to pieces.
It wasn't for lack of trying to retaliate with skills, but those skills were mere irritations upon its opponent, who would flash a blue light and heal back to normal in an instant.
Fortunately, the opponent didn't go for the kill. Finally, it leisurely relaxed its crocodilian grip and the giant-bellied tiger shrimp turned and left without a backward glance.
After the battle, the triumphant Taotie surfaced from the water, adorably seeking approval from its owner like a little dog begging for praise.
"You did well."
The Taotie barked joyfully, declaring its determination to protect its owner.
Chen Xing realized he had somewhat underestimated the physical strength of the Taotie. Although it lacked any attack skills, its current physical prowess seemed more than enough to crush opponents of the same energy level.
