Zhao Xi tried to hide behind a boulder, clutching the Spirit Fire Glazed Glass in a defensive stance.

Xiao Ding was suddenly ejected by lava and crashed heavily onto the shore, face down: "Ouch!"

Zhao Xi wanted to keep her eyes on the lava and didn't look at him immediately: "Are you alright?"

Xiao Ding transformed back into human form, got up from the ground, and rubbed his forehead: "Oh no... Waaah, I have a bump."

"…………"

The earthquakes above have stopped, and the area around the crater is calm and quiet; even the lava flow has slowed down.

After Zhao Xi called Xiao Ding over to the boulder, she glanced at the injury on his forehead.

She had no supplies and no way to treat his wounds, so she could only blow on them and ask, "Do you have any other injuries?"

"No more." Xiao Ding shook his big head, wiped his nose with the back of his hand, and said aggrievedly, "Wow, that big monster's mouth smelled so bad, I almost died from the stench."

This guy is only intimidating when he transforms into a giant dog demon; normally he's chubby and has a cute, innocent tone.

He looked down at his belt and the ring on his hand.

He only briefly came into contact with the lava, and all his magical treasures were gone, leaving him with only a pair of shorts.

Xiao Ding burst into tears.

"Why did it vomit you out? Was it because you were too big, or because you had too much hair?" Zhao Xi asked, resting her chin on her hand as she circled around Xiao Ding.

Xiao Ding scratched his head blankly: "It was probably full. I saw a lot of digested parts in its stomach...it looked like a cultivator's arm...Ugh!"
