The monster, resembling both fish and serpent, surged out of the water with countless water ghosts in tow, bringing a pressure in that instant that could petrify most people.
The lifeguard at the entrance of the stone house had already collapsed to the ground, and both Guan Miao and Yan Le's mother were too shocked by the water monster to speak.
Murky water splashed over them, and by the time they regained their senses and thought to warn Han Fei, the monster had already opened its vast maw towards the shrine.
A pungent fishy stench filled Han Fei's nostrils as he gripped the Slaughter Saber tightly, staring at the creature's mouth.
Hundreds of sharp teeth intertwined in a jagged crisscross pattern, with remnants of broken bones, black hair stuck between the teeth, and rows of teeth partially hidden within the flesh of its throat still faintly visible.
If bitten by the monster, it would be no different than falling into a high-speed meat grinder.
