White Strange Serpent

The mud around the hole at the bottom of the pond posed no obstacle at all to Golden Armor. His feet stepped onto the mud, sending ripples spreading out, yet not a drop of muddy water splashed up.

"Roar..." "Boom..."

The white shadow was long and slender, as thick as a large water barrel. The portion exposed above ground alone was already five or six zhang long, and it thrashed wildly in seeming chaos.

"Hah—"

Golden Armor shouted, thrusting both arms forward as the tip of the white shadow struck at him.

"Bang..."

"Boom..."

The impact of that collision sent great swathes of mud and pond water spraying into the air, raining down in a muddy downpour.

Muddy water splattered everywhere with a "pat pat pat..." Except for the small patch where Ji Yuan stood, every other direction was covered in mud.

Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

"Splashhhhh... splash..."

Golden Armor gripped the head of a gigantic serpentine creature in both arms, letting it writhe continuously. Yet he himself was steadily stepping backward—not because he was being forced back, but because he was actively dragging the monster out.

"Hiss... roar..."

"Bang... bang... bang..."

The cavern beneath the pond bottom seemed to be suffering constant blows from below. More and more cracks appeared in the exposed stone foundation amid the splattering mud.

"Bang bang bang..." "Boom..."

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Countless rocks, large and small, shot outward in all directions beyond the pond.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Huge boulders smashed into the surrounding buildings, seemingly cracking or even destroying the distant structures. Yet the damage recovered in a very short time, and no cries of alarm came from any pedestrians or townsfolk nearby.

"Hah—"

Golden Armor shouted again. He bent his knees slightly, then explosively shot backward.

Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble...

"Boom..."
