Bab 1440: My child

Mr. Hyde was engaged in combat with a monstrous beast that had crawled out of river depths. The beast was already well into its rampage, egged on either by Hao Xuan's continuous presence within the waters or the copious amount of blood he had leaked into it.

It was unlike any creature he had seen before. The body was long and obviously serpentine but without any scales. Its white flesh twitched and squirmed every time it moved its head, which was something straight out of a nightmare.

The mouth 'flaps' opened in five different directions each with its own tentacle at the end, giving it the appearance of a starfish but instead of harmless tube legs, there were rows of serrated teeth present.
