A total of thirteen "giant beings" were entering Anqing.
They crowded together like a thick layer of flesh and blood mist, or a flesh tide, sweeping over from the edge of the sky, occasionally shedding some alien appendages, such as a piece of tentacle covered with fleshy buds and sharp teeth, a gaping blood maw supported by long whiskers, a segment of tail pulsing with phosphorescence, a cluster of insects buzzing, a fishing line with a hook at its end, baited and ready...
Such a scene immediately reminded Tao Qian of the true forms he had once seen inside the Mountain Gate, those of Wu Chao, Three Stars, Golden Silkworm, and other Uncles involved in the contest for the Absolute Immortal.
Massive, terrifying, mutated... and even more so.
It was fortunate that the border of Anqing was all barren hills and ravines where no vegetation grew, letting these monsters enter without causing any horrific casualties.
