The rest of them stood by Louis’ side and stared at the river.
Jack tested the tied rope before laying down in the river.
The riverbank did not have much of a shore. Instead, the steep slope fell off into the depths without any buffer.
With a splash, Jack felt like a brick sinking in the water. He sunk into the river completely, without even a single strand of his hair floating to the surface of the river.
Louis stared at the rope carefully, ready to pull Jack up the moment he tugged at the rope.
However, the rope on the shore slid into the water quickly after Jack jumped in. It was apparent that Jack was walking faster underwater without any signs of delay.
The
rope sank into the river quickly, and everyone began to relax. As long as the ropes kept going into the river, it meant that Jack was on the move.
About a minute and a half later, the rope that was being pulled into the river suddenly stopped.
‘Louis was stunned for a mom?
Just as he wanted to try pulling the rope, it suddenly rushed into the river.
Louis was pulled hard by the sudden movement of the rope and almost fell into the river.
Fortunately, Wayne was right next to him and grabbed him by the arm.
Meanwhile, Simon ran up to pull the rope for Louis. As soon as Louis regained his senses, he quickly bent down and pulled hard at the rope.
The rope in the river behaved as if it snagged onto a big fish, being dragged wildly into the river.
Simon, Wayne, and Louis pulled the rope together. The combined strength of the three was quite powerful, and the rope was drawn to a stop.
However, it only lasted a few seconds before the rope was pulled violently into the river.
Simon and Wayne wrapped the rope around their hands, then squatted down in a position that could let them muster more strength.
Louis ran back with the rope and spread it out.
Without any hesitation, Oliver rushed over and pulled at the rope with all his strength. Sienna also hurried to help. Even Gabriel and Hailey rushed up behind Oliver to help out.
Of the nine people on the shore, all of them apart from Gunther, who was too weak, came forward to help pull the rope.
The pulling force in the river was too powerful. All eight people on the shore who did their best to pull the rope were drawn slowly toward the water. novelbin
Louis was right at the front. He pulled the rope with both hands with all his strength, with his body angled back to dig his feet into the ground, to the point that he was almost lying on his back. He was giving everything he had.
Upon noticing that something was amiss, Wayne and Simon crossed over each other as they let out a shout while exerting their strength. The huge force on the rope that had been pulled into the river stopped all of a sudden!
Starting from Louis, who was at the front, all of them fell on their backs. Louis, Wayne, Simon, and a bodyguard fell over one another. Meanwhile, Oliver fell on Sienna, who was pressed against Hailey. Last but not least, was Gabriel who also fell far away.
Louis reacted quickly and got up to check the situation as soon as he fell.
The rope in his hand had snapped. The end of the rope was not a neat cut but seemed like it was sawed off.
Louis was surprised and dumbfounded. This new high-strength nylon rope could bear 11,000 pounds of weight, so it would not be easy to cut even with a sharp knife. It was very strong. How was it possible for Jack to cut it?
Was there something at the bottom of the river?
In the past, none of them would have thought there were monsters in the river, but now they were not as sure anymore.
Firstly, Oliver led them here and saw the strange wall of Enchanting Fog that was comparable to the Ancient Fortress. Secondly, they witnessed the never-before-seen Great Wolf
Lastly was the Alpar River, which would not even float a feather. After all the inconceivable and strange sights, none of them would think it strange if there were any terrifying monsters in the river.
They could only see a few bubbles on the surface of the river, and then nothing else. The faint green river of unknown depth remained before them.
Of the five bodyguards working for Louis, one was dead and two were wounded. Jack’s survival was uncertain, but everyone
knew that his chances were slim.
At least the bodyguards who were killed by the Great Wolf had their corpses left behind. Meanwhile, Jack was gone, leaving nothing behind.
Gunther walked over with a stick and stared at the river palely, murmuring, “What… What’s in the river?”
While everyone was staring at the river, the surface suddenly churned and a huge snake-like head came out of it.
This head looked like a snake, but it was huge and terrible. Its head was the size of a basket, and its eyes were bigger than an adult’s fist. Those eyes were half yellow and half green. It was a strange and scary sight.
Whoosh!
The giant snake’s look appeared angry and then dived into the river. Following that, its body undulated in the river for a while. It was probably around 33 feet long. After stirring about for a while, it sunk into the river again.
After some time, things calmed down and the river surface was tranquil again.
If they hadn’t just experienced it, no one would have expected the calm river to be hiding such a huge and dangerous
creature!
Gunther took a few steps back in surprise and asked Gabriel in a perplexed tone, “Mr. Lewis, what… what is this thing?”
Gabriel rubbed his eyes and said, “Well… It seems to be a python…”
Just then, Oliver suddenly stepped forward and interrupted, “This kind of snake is called the Nubia Python!”
Gabriel was stunned. “The Nubia Python? Is there really such a thing?”
However, Gabriel came to terms with it quickly. If they could find the Alpar River, then was not much of a surprise for them to encounter the Nubia Python that lived in Alpar water.
He had read in “Biography in Nine States” that the largest Alpar water body in legends was the Night Swamp, which was a huge lake in Clusia. The entire lake itself was made up of the Alpar River.
Nothing lived in the Alpar River apart from two creatures. They were the Nubia Python and the Nocturna Heron.
Legend has it that the beneath the Alpar River was just clear water. The Nubia Python lived in the clear water below the Alpar River. Therefore, it was difficult to find the Nubia Python on the river surface. It would only come up to the Alpar River surface when it was foraging for food or when it was excited.
According to the legend of the Nubia Python, it was 33 feet long with a big head. With its mouth open wide, even a cow would be swallowed easily, let alone one person.
In terms of ferocity, the Great Wolf would be nothing when compared to the Nubia Python.
Gabriel looked up at Oliver and asked, “Oliver… How did you learn about Nubia Python?”
Oliver smiled awkwardly and shrugged, “I’m not sure myself. It just felt very similar to what I’ve read in my old book, so-
assumed it was.”
Gabriel started to grow wary of Oliver. Originally, he only felt that Oliver was amazing, but he did think too highly of him. However, since passing through Enchanting Fog, he started having doubts. Oliver recognized the wall and happened to use the Eye Sculpture to resolve the Great Wolf incident. Now, he even blurted out the name of the Nubia Python. Were all those just mere coincidences?
