1804 Unbelievable Mountain

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 .
“Something as big as that cannot be a real egg, surely . How big would a creature have to be to create such a large egg?”
Han Sen thought to himself .
The monsters, seeing the egg-shaped mountain ahead, started to run even faster . The small monsters stood atop the bigger mountains, crying and calling out at the mountain .

As they drew closer and closer to the place, they saw the egg mountain more clearly . While it was the size of a mountain, it wasn’t made of rock . It was dark, but wrapped in silk . It looked like a giant cocoon .
The silk bands were as thick as an arm, and they glowed gently .
The monsters ran in front of the cocoon and stopped . They lowered their heads to let Han Sen and the others down .
“What’s this?” the bird-faced man asked, as he looked up at the cocoon .
Vic, Rocks Fall Duke, and Yisha did not speak . They merely looked at the cocoon and kept their thoughts to themselves .
Han Sen could tell Rocks Fall Duke was excited about something . His minor display of emotion this was only shown for a split-second, but it couldn’t escape Han Sen’s notice .
“These three people know what this cocoon is . Aside from Yisha, though, Vic and Rocks Fall Duke are here by accident . Still, they know what this is . They knew what this was before they came here?” Han Sen kept thinking .
They all looked at the giant cocoon, as the monsters laid themselves down on the ground, as if in servitude and prayer to their god .

Only the little red monster was willing to go up close to it, though . It walked around the cocoon as if it was looking for something .
“Should we escape now?” the bird-faced man asked as he looked down at the monsters who were all bowing with their heads lowered .
“Do you think they are stupid? Just because they haven’t injured us doesn’t mean they’d let us run off . Don’t you see that they still surround us?” Rocks Fall Duke lifted his lips .
The bird-faced man started to respond, but he suddenly felt the sand around his feet start to shift as it would with the onset of an earthquake .
Han Sen felt it, too . And it wasn’t just the sand that was moving . Even the mountain-looking cocoon was moving . Where the earth and the cocoon touched each other, the sand was beginning to run . It was like a hole had formed somewhere below ground, and the sand was swirling into it like a vortex .
They wanted to retreat, but the monsters were still down on the ground . They couldn’t fall back without stepping onto the monsters behind them .
“That thing is rising!” the bird-faced man shouted .
Han Sen noticed the cocoon was indeed rising . It wasn’t the sand that was moving, it was the rising of the cocoon that was affecting the sand . The movement was coming from that .

Now, Han Sen was no longer looking at the cocoon . Instead, he was looking at Vic, Rocks Fall Duke, and Yisha . He could not see Yisha’s face, for she wore a mask .
Rocks Fall Duke’s face looked excited, though . And Vic’s eyes were now gleaming brightly .
“These guys must surely know something…” Han Sen tried to think of ways in which he could gain information from them .
As Han Sen continued his thoughts, the cocoon completely departed its bed of sand . It was floating in the air, and it looked stunning .
It was like the Himalayas, but they were in the sky . Humans were smaller than ants standing next to it, and if it fell, they would be crushed .
The giant cocoon was hovering six meters above the ground . It froze in the air and stopped moving .
Han Sen wondered what manner of power could make something so big float like that .
The little monster went back to its group, and it growled at them . They surrounded Han Sen, ushering him and the others below the cocoon .
Han Sen saw that the lizards weren’t looking nervous, and so he didn’t try to run . He wanted to know what they wished to do there .
The monsters pushed them to the bottom of the pit, and in the center of the cocoon above them, Han Sen could see there was a circular hole . It was around two meters wide, and compared to the cocoon, it looked as small as the point of a needle .
Han Sen looked up through the hole, and all he could see was silk . The strands were as thick as an arm, just like they were outside . The little monsters pointed at the hole and made snarling noises at Rocks Fall Duke and the others . It looked as if they wanted the captives to enter .
“Should we go in?” the bird-faced man’s face kept changing . He had no clue what was going on, so he looked at Rocks Fall Duke and Vic for an answer .
“Do we have any other choice?” Rocks Fall Duke said, before approaching the hole .
He tried to keep his excitement suppressed, and he did so by walking slowly . But Han Sen knew that Rocks Fall Duke was eager to go inside .
“Yes . Since we are here, we might as well go in,” Vic said, before following after Rocks Fall Duke .
He sounded relaxed, but he was afraid of Rocks Fall Duke stealing something .
The bird-faced man followed . He climbed into the hole with them, and only Han Sen and Yisha remained outside it .
