Zhao Guoqiang suddenly felt a chilling sensation down his spine. He rose abruptly and turned around, only to be met with the sight of a giant black snake.
The upper half of the giant snake's body was above the surface of the lake, lunging toward him with its mouth wide open, flicking its tongue as if intending to swallow Zhao Guoqiang whole.
The snake, as thick as a grown man's waist and more than a dozen meters long, had a triangular head the size of a winnowing basket, with a pair of eyes as large as chicken eggs that emitted a cold and forbidding light, causing one to shudder.
Covering the snake's body was a layer of scales, which under the sunlight reflected intimidatingly dark gleams, enhancing the snake's terrifying aura even further.
Zhao Guoqiang, who had never seen such a massive creature in his life, was so shocked that it felt like his soul had left his body, and he stood frozen in place.
