After the toad was dragged into the water, the rock began to move again. But this time, it wasn't moving closer to the lake. It was moving further away from it.
The rock had only moved less than a meter when a black shadow rolled out from the lake like a poisonous snake. In an instant, it wrapped around the mountain-like rock, causing it to be unable to move an inch. Instead, it was pulled in the direction of the lake.
Because the rock was as heavy as a mountain, the shadow was unable to drag it into the lake. Han Sen was able to see what it was.
It was something that was as thick as an arm and covered in bronze scales. It looked like the body of a snake, but the tip was round and there was no snake head.
The snake-like thing came out of the lake, and he couldn't tell how long it was. He couldn't tell how long it was, but he couldn't see how long it was.
The rock was pulled into the lake by the snake-like monster. The rock itself seemed to have some kind of power, but it couldn't compete with the snake. Inch by inch, it was pulled into the lake, creating a deep trench in the rocky ground.
When the rock was less than two meters away from the lake, there was a sudden rumble and the rock stood up.
It stood up, but it didn't just stand up. The body of the rock expanded, and it became a rock giant. A few more figures emerged from the arms of the rock giant.
"Yaksha and Blood River King!
They were hiding here! No wonder I couldn't find them. "
Han Sen was shocked. Three more figures emerged from the lake. One of them was Yaksha, and the other was Blood River King.
Yaksha and Six-Armed Monkey came out of the lake, too. The three of them ran away as fast as they could. Only the rock giant was still tied up by the snake-like monster.
But when Yaksha and the others moved, a few more shadows emerged from the lake. They were the same monsters as the one that had trapped the rock giant.
The three shadows flew towards Yaksha and his companions. Yaksha's wings appeared behind his back, and he dodged the attacks with a twist of his body.
Blood River Emperor and Six-armed Ape also used their own methods to avoid the monsters that were chasing them.
But the next second, the lake exploded like fireworks. Many shadows emerged from the lake, and it was impossible to tell how many of them there were.
Yaksha and the others' faces changed. Yaksha pulled out two black feathered daggers and slashed at the monsters. Blood River Monarch also pulled out a pair of greatswords and retreated while slashing at the monsters.
The shocking sword light flashed and slashed the monsters but the sound of metal clashing could be heard. Yaksha and the others couldn't cut through the bronze scaled monsters.
The two king spirits and two super creatures were trapped by the monsters, and they were unable to escape. Monsters were coming out of the lake from all directions, and they were having a hard time dealing with them.
At first, the Rock Giant was still able to resist the monster with his physical strength and was not dragged into the lake.
But in the blink of an eye, many more monsters wrapped around its body. Even the mountain-like Rock Giant couldn't resist such power and was dragged towards the lake.
The Rock Giant struggled, but it was still being dragged into the lake. First, it was its legs, and then its body. Seeing the Rock Giant being dragged into the lake, Han Sen was shocked.
"What are these monsters? They're so scary. Even Yaksha and Blood River King can't fight them. It's lucky I didn't go near the lake. If I had, I'd be the one in trouble," Han Sen thought to himself.
"Tzzt!"
Yaksha and Blood River Monarch were able to rely on their powerful abilities to fight against the copper-scaled monsters, but the Six-armed Ape carelessly had its ankle wrapped around by a monster. It was violently pulled to the ground, and then it was immediately surrounded by the copper-scaled monsters. It screamed miserably as it was dragged to the lake.
Blood River King's eyes glowed with a red light. He wanted to take advantage of the situation, but before he could, the three super creatures he had brought with him had all fallen into the lake.
Blood River King gritted his teeth, and just as he was about to fight, Yaksha came over and slashed away a copper-scaled monster that was coming for Blood River King.
"King, run!"
Yaksha wanted to run away with Blood River King, but a copper-scaled monster grabbed his arm. More copper-scaled monsters came and dragged Yaksha into the lake as well.
Blood River King looked at Yaksha gratefully, then turned around and spat out a mouthful of blood. He flew a few hundred miles away, disappearing into the night.
Yaksha was pulled into the lake as well. He only made a few ripples, and then there was no more movement.
Han Sen frowned as he watched the copper-scaled monsters retreat into the lake. The surface of the lake returned to normal, and he felt as if something was wrong.
Yaksha wasn't someone who would sacrifice himself to save others. He was one of the eight generals. His strength aside, his survival skills were top notch. There was no way he would fall into the lake so easily.
While Han Sen was thinking, he heard the sound of bubbles coming from the lake. From the center of the lake, something floated up.
Han Sen took a closer look and noticed that the thing that was floating out of the lake was a bronze statue. The part that first floated out of the water looked like a bronze screen with flowers on it.
But as it floated to the surface, Han Sen was shocked to see it was a giant bronze throne.
The bronze throne was engraved with mysterious symbols, and it looked as if it had been crafted in ancient times. The base of the throne was made up of a number of bronze snakes.
It was unknown how many strange bronze snakes with evil, blood-red eyes were intertwined together to form a base, holding up the bronze throne high up. The tails of those strange bronze snakes were the green-scaled monsters that had drilled out of the water earlier.
They were clearly made of bronze, but they were able to move as if they were alive. Many strange bronze snakes dragged the bronze throne and wriggled, lifting the bronze throne completely out of the water.
Sitting on the bronze throne was a beautiful female spirit. She wore a black dress with a slit. Her long legs were crossed, and she sat on the bronze throne with her legs crossed.
She had a head of long black hair and eyes that were cold and emotionless. However, there was also an indescribable dangerous allure that made people involuntarily take a second look at her.
"I have sacrificed three super creatures, and I believe you will be able to claim the Jade Vine."
Yaksha, who had been pulled into the lake, came out of the water and bowed respectfully to the woman sitting on the bronze throne.
