A strong stench accompanied by the sound wafted over.
"Alya, fire arrows!"
With Rod's command, Alya instantly understood.
She immediately pulled out another fire arrow, ignited it on the torch, and shot it towards the source of the sound.
The fire arrow drew an arc in the darkness, the orange-red glow instantly illuminating the river's surface.
A colossal claw slowly floated up on the water, its greenish-blue shell reflecting the firelight.
"Holy crap!"
Gang Le exclaimed, "Is this... a crab?"
"That's a giant crab!"
Rod's voice dropped as the arrow plunged into the river and extinguished.
Yet, fierce splashes and the sound of rolling stones could be heard, eerily echoing in the dark.
"Retreat back into the cave!"
Rod immediately gave the order, leading his team to retreat backward.
No one really saw how big the giant crab was in the dark river, what it looked like, or how many there were. We absolutely cannot advance recklessly.
