Chapter 11 - Overlord Salamander

The hidden current grew stronger and stronger. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t gain control over my movement. Instead, my body was carried forward by the rush of water, while the enormous monster followed right behind.

Most of its body was submerged, creating ma.s.sive waves in the water. The cavern was too dark to see much else, as such, I could only hearand not see. Based off of the noise, its body was at least seven to eight meters long.

Towards the final section of the river, the current was at its strongest. All four of us were afraid of being separated and so we held each other close, tumbling towards the next cavern.

Below us was an enormous underground river. The temperature of the water was abnormally high and there were several other smaller currents that were similar to the one we pa.s.sed through that sprouted from the walls of the mountain. They almost looked like enormous pipes that converged into one main river. On both sides, there were several protruding rocks that released hot white steam. Some of them even had a faint red firelike vein. Looked like this was the volcanic region that Luo Ning was talking about.

The river water’s temperature was getting too hot. We struggled to climb up onto a large rock that was beside the river, only to find out that even it was fairly warm. Since there was firelight nearby, we turned off our flashlights to save the precious little battery we had. I asked the others, “Did you guys see clearly? Just what was that behind us? It had an enormous head.”

Giant and Luo Ning both didn’t get a clear look at the beast and shook their heads. Ga Wa was the most miserable. He drank a whole belly full of river water, and his stomach was even distending from all the liquid. When he opened his mouth to speak, he ended up vomiting water. As he held his stomach, he said, ”I done saw that there f*ckin bear. It was right behind us, but it done fell somewhere mid way down the river.”

Just to be cautious, Giant kept his weapon at hand. He stood up and examined the situation in the water, “What water beast? There’s nothing here.” As he finished talking, he turned around to walk back. Suddenly, a red tongue emerged out of the water. It was two meters long, and it furled around Giant’s two legs. It dragged his feet from under him and pulled him towards the river.

Thankfully, Ga Wa reacted quickly and he pierced his bayonet right into the tongue. The monster retracted its tongue from the pain and let go of Giant. Its lantern-like eyes glared at us as it began to crawl out of the water.

It looked very similar to the salamander that Giant had initially opened fire upon. Its head was like a frog, while the rest of its body looked like a skinless alligator. It’s just that this salamander was f*cking enormous. It was actually a dozen meters long. The scales on its body reflected a menacing light. It swung its enormous tail and ferociously glared at us.

I hurriedly asked Luo Ning, “Mrs. Luo, are you sure that it doesn’t harm people? Why is it so big?”

Luo Ning’s face was completely pale. Her voice trembled as she replied, “I… I was talking about the last one… this… this is… the Overlord Salamander. It’s extremely aggressive… But it went extinct during the Ice Age. I never would have imagined there’d be one here.”
