Han Sen ran forward and looked back. There was nothing behind him.
When he looked at his shoulder, he saw nothing there. He felt as if something was sitting there, but he just couldn't see it.
Suddenly, the colors on Han Sen's shoulder became blurry. He saw that a creature, like a chameleon, had just appeared.
And then, the colors began to shift again. The creature was blending back into its environment. Even at such a close distance, Han Sen couldn't see it anymore.
"Surely it can't have come out of that weird ball," Han Sen thought.
Although the little creature had only just appeared, it looked like a straight-up monster. It was simply small, that was all. It was around the size of a man's hand. And now, Han Sen had an answer for why the ball was no longer in the pool. The creature could change color to avoid being seen.
The little thing's color changed again. It went to his right shoulder, changed color, and disappeared again.
