The monsters went up toward the rivers of light, and when they drew close, it turned out that the snake-looking things weren't actually snakes. It looked like a beard coming out from the sand. It was waving, and the motion had looked serpentine from afar.
The monsters came towards the snake-looking beard, but the beard seemed frightened by their approach. It buried itself underground. There were more of them, and each one the monsters drew near to would end up drilling back into the ground.
Those beards were like dragonflies in the desert. It was like they were forming a path that led the monsters forward.
When the sun rose, the beards disappeared. But Han Sen saw a large, strange mountain ahead.
The reason it was strange was because it looked like a giant egg atop the desert sands. And aside from that mountain, the rest of the geography was plain desert dunes.
