This was a ferocious shark beast of immense size, unlike anything Xia Nan had ever seen, its entire body radiating a powerful aura.
To some extent, calling it a "shark beast" was no longer quite fitting.
Compared to the shark beast Monsters Xia Nan had fought before, although the creature before him still retained the distinctive traits of shark-like animals across its body, its overall appearance had shifted toward a humanoid form.
The difference between it and the previous shark beasts was somewhat like that between a pureblood Dragonborn and the mixed-blood "Algae Scale" Dodd.
Like a crimson giant with warped contours, it stood nearly five meters tall. Even Aken, the tallest and strongest Barbarian among the Adventurers, would barely reach its waist if he stood before it.
Tie Ge of the "Raging Waves War Gang," with his Dwarf bloodline, was not even as tall as one of its legs.
Its coarse, thick, resilient skin was a pale red, as though soaked in blood. Beneath it, veins spread like branching roots, rising and throbbing with every breath it took;
