After the toad was dragged down into the murky depths of the lake, the boulder moved again. This time, it rolled away from the water. It had barely reached a distance of one meter before the shadow reappeared. It grabbed the rock and tried to pull it back.
The rock was too heavy for it to move in a hurry, though. And as it struggled, Han Sen was finally able to get a good look at the enigma that had been residing inside the lake all that time.
It was like an arm, but one that was plated all in copper. It was not too different from a snake, minus a head. When it came out to reach the boulder, it revealed itself to be at least one hundred meters long.
The rock tried its best to pull away from it, but it gave ground, bit by bit. It would soon be dragged in.
When the rock was two meters away from the water's edge, a rocky explosion sounded as the boulder rose up off the ground.
The boulder turned into a golem, and there were people behind it.
