The next morning dawned.
A massive snake body, tens of meters long, lay across the wharf, its severed section exposing vivid red flesh that, despite being blown by the river wind all night, didn't dull and even appeared to be faintly pulsating.
The tenacity of the Great Monster's life force was all too evident.
Instead of setting out to fish, the gathered fishermen surrounded the giant snake, clucking their tongues in amazement, completely forgetting what they had originally set out to do that morning.
"Snake meat is very nourishing."
"Is it the one we talked about yesterday?"
"I think so, look at that ink green color. This color is rare, it must be the snake, no mistake."
Li Libo, standing beside the giant snake, laughed and said, "That depends on what Aliao's dad says, has he arrived?"
"Don't know, the young man's fast on his feet, he should be here soon."
Amidst the questioning and answering, a clamor came from down the street.
"He's here, he's here!"
