Suddenly, the sound of footsteps heavy as boulders echoed, making one’s heart leap with each impact. Everything around seemed to shake along with it, making it hard to imagine just how gigantic and terrifying the creature might be.
In the boundless darkness, Jun Moyan found himself unable to move. All he could feel was the darkness and Wen Xiao’ai’s occasional sobs echoing in his mind.
As the footsteps grew closer and clearer, Jun Moyan realized that the sound wasn’t just in his head; the being was slowly approaching him from not far away.
With its approach, Jun Moyan could also hear various sounds caused by its massive size, like the heavy breathing.
Clearly, it wasn’t human.
Jun Moyan had a pretty good idea of who it was.
If he weren’t conscious and aware that this wasn’t a dream, he might have thought he was dreaming of that hellscape again, just like last time.
He wasn’t dreaming at this moment; he was unconscious.
Could it truly exist outside of dreams?
In the darkness, the silhouette of the Huge Beast gradually appeared.
It had a fierce face, enormous in size, with an eye larger than an adult’s fist.
Jun Moyan guessed correctly; it was indeed the tattoo on his chest from before, the Huge Beast he had dreamed of many times.
The Huge Beast emitted heavy breaths from its mouth and nose as it moved step by step closer to Jun Moyan, who lay there with his eyes closed.
It slowly came to his side, its glassy amber eyes fixed unwaveringly on him.
Jun Moyan could clearly sense its presence right beside him, watching him.
But strangely enough, despite its terrifying appearance, he wasn’t afraid of it at all.
Its arrival and proximity even made the overwhelming darkness around him less daunting.
It looked at Jun Moyan for a while, then slowly bent down, lying close to his arm.
With its eyes closed, it appeared very peaceful and obedient. If it weren’t for its heavy breathing occasionally breaking the silence, Jun Moyan might have thought it had left.
Jun Moyan tried to speak, but no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn’t open his mouth or make a sound.
At last, Jun Moyan silently asked in his mind.
For some reason, Jun Moyan felt it could hear his thoughts.
His feeling was correct; it truly could hear his thoughts. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel_fіre.net
As it lay quietly beside him, the Huge Beast gently rubbed Jun Moyan’s arm with its nose, its movements cautious and delicate, as if afraid its heavy body might inadvertently hurt him.
A low response sounded from its nose.
Jun Moyan was slightly astonished by its responsive gesture.
It could indeed hear his thoughts.
Jun Moyan asked nervously.
The creature made no sound, continuing to softly nuzzle Jun Moyan’s arm with its nose.
Yet somehow, this gesture, identical to before, made Jun Moyan feel like it was telling him it could speak.
Jun Moyan felt as if he could communicate with it telepathically.
"Can you tell me who you are?"
He continued to ask in his mind.
Upon hearing Jun Moyan’s question, the Huge Beast opened its eyes, lifting its head to gaze at him.
