The heavy-armored White Barbarian Rhinoceros stirred at the sight of its master. Its formerly prone body swayed, and it snorted another cloud of hot white mist from its massive snout before getting shakily to its feet.

Liu Longyu, riding on its back, felt the unsteady gait of her mount. She patted the rhinoceros's thick skull and urged it on.
The White Barbarian Rhinoceros threw its head back with a muffled roar. It instinctively lowered its body and began to accelerate, its massive frame breaking into a charge.
