The disproportion of its hands and body made it seem like a mass of flesh without limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed to move by squirming, somewhat slow, but undoubtedly, it was the elite monster of this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from it were dozens of swollen-bodied monsters whose flesh had turned purple, rushing towards Wen Xishu and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cavendish, you handle the mass of flesh.
