The rustling sound was coming from the reeds. Everyone turned to the giant swaying reeds.
Something was approaching. It moved at a very slow pace as if it knew that there was no way for the group to get away from its clutches.
What was it?!
It finally appeared!
The reeds split in half, and what came into view was an imposing and majestic head. Its gaze was razor-sharp, and its eyes flashed with a dazzling light. It had long patterns on its body like a tiger. It bared its saber-toothed fangs ominously.
The ladies from Licheng Afterglow Island held their breaths. Their backs drenched in cold sweat.
It walked out of the grove and came in full view. There were ancient beast patterns on its limbs and body. It exuded a certain feeling of nobility. Certain ancient powerful holy creatures had similar patterns on their bodies, too. It symbolized the purity of their bloodline and their dignity.
