Features: Dimly visible, as if a reddish-brown protuberance, it gradually slid down with the mud, the outline of the protuberance becoming clearer— it was a giant face! On this head, ten times larger than a normal one, a pair of slightly closed eyes showed no glimmer of light. From the large nostrils, two long streams of misty breaths occasionally puffed out with each low breath. The lips were slightly parted, revealing a massive tooth faintly glinting with cold light. The giant had no hair, no beard, no eyebrows, not even eyelashes. With eyes closed, it was smooth like a giant duck egg! The giant's body was slowly rising, its copper-red skin shimmering with a dull red lustre as if tempered in a furnace. Its arms, thicker than a normal person's, seemed to be on some solid ground beneath the mud. Each piece of massive, knotted muscle on the arms and shoulders moved as if it had a life of its own.
"Hero of the Giants, Gerqin!" Sorun's voice was a mix of awe and groan, "Damn it, we're still one step too late!"
