What greeted them was an enormous creature approaching them steadily.
It was the ancient poisonous centipede.
That centipede was a whopping hundred meters in length. A total of two hundred legs lined its sides. It was covered in dark green scales, with eyes that shone with bloodthirst.
On top of that, it had two pairs of wings on its back. Its looming figure glowed, illuminated by the green flames that surrounded it.
Those green flames were caused by the combustion of the venom that the ancient poisonous centipede was secreting.
It was as if everyone could physically feel the temperature around them drop when the centipede appeared. It was spring then. The centipede's appearance made everyone feel like they had been plunged into autumn instantly.
Everyone was frozen in shock, a chill creeping down their spines.
"Holy sh*t, that's a huge centipede!"
"How long did that centipede cultivate for it to grow that big? And what's with the green flames?"
Everyone could not contain their cries of shock. They thought the beast before them was a regular centipede. They did not know that it was deadly poisonous.
At the same time, even Ambrose, who was in the middle of healing from his wounds, exclaimed in surprise. "I've never seen a centipede that big!"
Next to him, Chester shook his head. With a stormy expression, he said, "That's not any old centipede. That's an ancient poisonous centipede!"
Chester could feel the fear creep down his back as the words left his mouth. Even his voice trembled slightly.
Chester was a man of vast knowledge. Others may not have been able to recognize the beast before them, but he had known what it was at first glance.
The ancient poisonous centipede was the only creature with venom fatally toxic enough to produce flames.
Chester was stunned because he knew that the longest recorded ancient poisonous centipede in history was said to be much shorter than a hundred meters. Yet the one before him was a whole hundred meters long—it even had wings on its back. Two pairs of them, to be exact.
It was truly unbelievable.
The ancient poisonous centipede?
Ambrose and everyone around him froze.
Unable to resist, Ambrose asked, "Uncle Chester, what's an ancient poisonous centipede?"
