Chapter 1282: Different
There was something ahead. They had thought it was a dune, but they realized that it was a massive creature when they got closer.
No, it wasn’t just massive. It was gargantuan. They couldn’t even see it in its entirety, only part of its side profile that rose and dipped like mountain ranges.
“That’s it!” Chen Ying said. “That’s what I sensed.”
“How could you not see it with Clairvoyance when it’s this big?” Adept Horse asked.
Chen Ying didn’t have an answer. “But I didn’t see it.”
“Maybe that’s its special power?” Liao Liao guessed. “It somehow blocked Clairvoyance?”
“Maybe,” said Vermilion Bird. “Be careful.”
“Raven Shark, swim up,” Gao Yang said.
Now a giant turtle, Raven Shark swam up to a thousand meters above the creature, finally allowing them to get a good look. It sprawled across the desert, resembling a giant round sucker with countless tentacles, each covered in scales of different colors that made it look like multi-colored mountain ranges. The center part of the giant creature was a pale, lumpy sphere, a chimera of different lifeforms.
It seemed to contain the origin of all primordial mysterious creatures, as if God had lost Their patience when creating life and crumpled them all into a ball before unceremoniously tossing the end product into a trashcan.
The gargantuan creature contracted and unfurled as it breathed. Its tentacles slowly and rhythmically crawled in all directions, multiplying in numbers.
