A few minutes ago Hao Xuan was more than 400 meters away engaged in combat with a crimson beast that had appeared out of nowhere.
The first time Hao Xuan saw it he thought it was a figure of his imagination but he could not have been more wrong.
Physically, it was a little similar to the ones he had seen in the flashbacks of one of the other timelines but still very much different. Where those creatures resembled four-legged feral beasts that were more beast than human, this one looked and fought as a man would.
Its entire body was encased in chitin-like plates of armor tied together with ropes of muscles snaking over each other. Its revolting fleshy exterior was bright red even under the few rays of light that were present.
