At this moment, the water behind the bamboo raft, where the green-scaled giant python had been, was churning violently. A heavy, pungent scent of blood filled the air. Something in the water was thrashing and splashing with a deafening roar. The flesh of the giant python was being rapidly torn away by some unseen creature. In a mere ten minutes, the snake—which had looked like a dragon—was picked clean, leaving behind nothing but a stark, white skeleton. The water was stained with blood and remnants of the carcass, filling the entire cavern with a foul, fishy stench.
Hu Bayi, Shirley Yang, and Wang Fatty stood frozen in shock.
"What kind of monster is this?" Wang Fatty whispered, his face deathly pale, sweat beading on his forehead. The other two were equally drenched in cold sweat. It was clear: had it not been for Xu Lang’s timely warning, which had spurred them to flee with all their might, their raft would have been swarmed by the underwater horrors. Looking at the pathetic state of the giant python, they knew that had they fallen into the water, they would have been reduced to nothing but white bones by now.
