Once the giant beast had completely emerged from the sand, the secret chamber fell quiet again.
Tang Mo ran her hand along the wall, feeling the solid ground return beneath her feet.
This sand-built castle was surprisingly sturdy. Only the central sand pile had ruptured, leaving a chaotic mess in its wake.
In that instant, Tang Mo understood.
'So the purpose of this sand castle was to imprison this huge, chimera-like mutant beast.'
The human and the beast stared at each other, neither one speaking first.
After a while, Tang Mo's neck began to ache from craning it upwards, so she twisted it a few times to stretch. Jingjing, meanwhile, kept its eyes squeezed shut, not daring to look at all.
"Human, are you working with that Lin Yu?"
It was the giant beast that lost its patience and spoke first.
'Lin Yu?'
'Could this really be related to Lin Yu? And if so, are they friend or foe?'
