Bang, bang, bang, several sounds echoed as Li Yifei pulled back with the Flood Dragon. The two had no choice but to retreat because the Drought Demon, in its fury, finally freed its other hand from the chains. Now both of its hands were free, and Li Yifei and the Flood Dragon had to retreat to avoid the attacks.
A closer look revealed that the Drought Demon's hands were also covered with those bumps, filled with human faces of various sizes. As it swung them around, Li Yifei seemed to see those faces either grimacing, crazed and bloodthirsty, writhing in pain, or expressionless. These people had become part of the Drought Demon, providing it strength. The field of white bones they saw earlier attested to this—who knows how many people it absorbed to grow this strong.
