"What's happening?" Fang Jueyu had already resigned himself to dying, even having drafted his last words in his mind, hoping that if anyone could find his remains among the creature's feces, they could relay his final words back to Earth via Xiao Yi.
He wished for his ashes to be made into the universe's most expensive fireworks, and then for the grandest fireworks display to commemorate his contributions to cosmic civilization, while simultaneously spreading his legendary boast across the cosmos.
Unexpectedly, the claw halted right in front of him!
A thin line of blood appeared across the center of Fang Jueyu's cheek, and a drop of blood pearl rolled down from his nose. Had the claw moved just a bit further, his head might have burst like a watermelon.
Though perplexed by this bizarre turn of events, he seemed to have been spared; the creature appeared to recognize him.
