"Such a big one..."
Watching the mountain moving toward her in the distance, Jiang Mian murmured in awe.
Though she had seen it through her clone, seeing it with her own eyes was another matter entirely.
Torrent was enormous, but also long, giving it a lithe, graceful appearance.
Xuanhuang, on the other hand, was pure mass.
That was only on the surface, though. It actually moved quite fast; otherwise, it couldn't have made it here from the south in just one day.
