The enormous creature that scrambled out of the lake in fear was the four-footed snake.
Yes, now it had grown so big that it could only be described as enormous.
A year ago, when Shu Guan first brought the four-footed snake to Shanyi Temple, it was about half a foot long, relaxing easily on Shu Guan's shoulder. If you possessed a unique aesthetic, you might have found this little critter rather cute.
A year passed, and now, the four-footed snake stretched to four meters in length. It was so bulky that it resembled a large water barrel, weighing roughly five or six hundred catties. Its body was covered in sharp and hard scales. If it opened its enormous mouth wide, it could easily swallow a grown man whole.
Even the most eccentric aesthetics would not find the four-footed snake cute anymore, only terrifying.
Shu Guan truly had no clue where the four-footed snake acquired so much mass from.
