Tang Mo pulled her hair back into place and smoothed it down.
She knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that she could never defeat this mutant beast.
But it just talked too much. So much nonsense that it was hard for Tang Mo to ignore its weakness.
For all this time, the so-called "Dragon" hadn’t moved an inch. It remained in the same spot on the sand pile, with a small section of its tail still buried in the sand.
If it weren’t restricted, why would it bother saying so much to Tang Mo, who was so insignificant in its eyes?
Besides, if a confined mutant beast could move freely, the first thing it would do upon getting out would be to stretch its body.
Clearly, this mutant beast hadn’t.
An awkward silence fell over the chamber.
Although the mutant beast’s facial features weren’t very distinct, Tang Mo could still detect a trace of embarrassment on its face at being so ruthlessly exposed.
"Do you need anything else? If not, I’m going to get some rest."
Tang Mo was getting tired of standing. Besides, Jingjing was quite heavy now, and holding it was indeed tiring.
She genuinely asked for the mutant beast’s opinion, but heard no reply.
Tang Mo went ahead and pulled out her sleeping bag, sitting down on it to rest.
The atmosphere froze.
The chimera-like mutant beast silently raised its head to gaze at the ceiling.
’I can’t look down at that human anymore. Don’t I have any pride?!’
At first, Jingjing had been too scared to even look at the enormous beast, but perhaps Tang Mo’s calm demeanor gradually influenced it.
Jingjing grew curious about the giant beast. It not only opened its eyes but even hopped over to the beast’s side, looking it over from left to right.
Its courage slowly grew, and it even reached out a short little paw to touch the giant beast’s toe.
But that was like prodding a sleeping tiger. Although the giant beast was restricted, it could still move its body slightly.
It kicked Jingjing away, sending it flying into the wall. Jingjing bounced back and lay there for a long while, unable to get up, its head feeling like mush.
"Serves you right for being naughty!"
Tang Mo mocked it mercilessly. Not only did she feel no sympathy, she even felt a little spark of joy as she got up and walked toward Jingjing...
’I was just worried that I didn’t have a test subject for the new healing skill I learned. Isn’t this a perfect coincidence?’
Jingjing’s fall wasn’t serious. Tang Mo healed it with almost no effort, and it was soon back to its lively, hopping self.
But clearly, Tang Mo, this newly-minted "doctor," hadn’t had her fill yet. Now that she’d started, she had to keep going.
Seeing Tang Mo’s gaze start to wander, Jingjing shivered all over, immediately curled into a ball in the corner, and pretended it didn’t exist, doing its best to minimize its presence.
Then, very quickly, Tang Mo’s gaze shifted to the giant beast...
