As Shen Bai and the others spotted the man, he was sizing them up as well.
The man before them stood barely five feet tall, making him exceptionally short.
Aside from his height, his features were plain, with no distinguishing characteristics.
The most eye-catching feature was the tentacle protruding from the man's chest, connecting him to the Deceitful Beast.
The tentacle was hollow, and it would bulge intermittently, as if some unknown substance was being siphoned out of him by the Deceitful Beast.
The short man looked at Shen Bai and the others, a wretched smile spreading across his face. "To think that after traveling the Yin Road for so long and arriving ahead of schedule, I'd still be a step too late."
"Since when did the Observatory have Deceitful Beasts? And in a place like Fenglin State, of all places."
"But it's all too late now."
The moment he finished speaking, the tentacle on his chest snapped.
