Lu Yuan saw the thing clearly.
Countless Ghoul bodies had been embedded into a single main body.
Some had only half their bodies left, fused into the main body's back, their shriveled arms reaching outward, long dead and stiffened.
Some heads and shoulders protruded from its flanks, their eye sockets hollow and their skin gray-white.
