Deep within Mang Gu Jungle, in a maze-like cave.
The deepest part of the cave was a large open hall, illuminated by walls of starry turquoise sparks. In the center of the hall was a deep, bottomless lake, where two mammoth-like beasts — as large as a house — lay on their back at both the left and right side of the banks. The distance between them was only about ten-odd yards.
The two beasts had the same features — they both had a pate similar to a male lion with a full body of crimson-red fur, but their face resembled a human's. Their tails were stingers, like scorpions', about two to three yards long which were now set on the ground meekly.
