For a moment, the Mud Monster and the four of them looked at each other, none of them making a move.
They observed each other for over half a minute.
Only when they were certain that the Mud Monster showed no signs of aggression did they slowly relax.
Li Chengyi walked slowly forward, standing in front of the Mud Monster to observe it up close.
This guy had arms and legs, but they were extremely thick; its neck was as wide as its head, and it was nearly a meter thick, looking like a wall up close.
The mud on its body was still slowly flowing naturally, like sesame paste with too little water, filled with lots of granules.
"Hello?" Li Chengyi tried speaking to it.
Mud Monster: "Gurgle gurgle."
"Move left?" Li Chengyi tried to control it, both mentally and verbally at the same time.
But it was no use. The Mud Monster showed no reaction, still standing there dumbly without moving an inch.
On its stout cylindrical face, there were no facial features, only a flowing black smear.
