After walking for a while, Gabriel stopped.
He saw a lake, which was almost twice the size of the pond beside his farm.
It was a natural lake, and the water was clear.
Gabriel licked his lips. He had not drunk any water since he left his farm. Hence, he could help it when he saw a lake.
“Woof! Woof!”
He was about to walk toward the lake when Doggie bit his pant and stopped him from moving forward. Doggie looked extremely vigilant as it stared at the lake, as if there was something terrifying hidden in it.
“Is there a monster hiding in the lake?” Gabriel and Doggie had already achieved a spiritual connection, so he understood what Doggie was trying to tell him.
Doggie heard his words and barked a few more times, confirming it.
After getting confirmation from Doggie, Gabriel put on a serious look. He immediately retreated a few meters and maintained a certain distance from the lake. Animals did indeed have a sense of danger that was many times greater than humans. Gabriel believed Doggie was trying to save him.
He resisted the desire to drink water and quietly waited for the monster in the lake to appear.
At this moment, the notification of the bracelet sounded.
[Notification: Found the Source of Life.]
[Notification: Mysterious building. There is a protector in the lake. Defeat the guardian beast and you will obtain the ownership of the Source of Life.]
Before Gabriel could understand what it meant, golden words appeared above the lake.
[Source of Life]
[Type: Mysterious building]
[Protector: Ice Lake Python]
[Description: One liter of lake water can be taken out every day. The lake water can improve the quality of crops that are lower than D rank.]
The appearance of the golden words introduced everything about the lake to Gabriel.
It also gave him a basic understanding of the specific situation.
“The lake water that can improve the quality of the crops?” Gabriel’s eyes lit up. He was tempted by the lake water. Improving the quality of crops below D rank was definitely an important piece of news.
However, he thought about it for a moment.
“It seems that I won’t be able to get out of this unscratched.” Gabriel spread his hands helplessly. He had never heard of a monster like the Ice Lake Python. After so long, he had not even seen that monster before, let alone defeating it.
Gabriel knew clearly in his heart that it would be extremely difficult to deal with the monster guarding the lake. However, he would not give up any chance. If he missed this opportunity, he might not be able to meet it again in the future.
He brought Doggie and began to search for the Ice Lake Python.
Ten minutes passed.
Gabriel still could not find the Ice Lake Python. He then looked at the lake and thought for a moment.
He could not help but ask, “The monster lives in the lake?”
Gabriel carefully approached the lake and looked. He could not see the bottom of the lake. He could not see anything, and all he could see was darkness.
The closer he got to the lake, the colder he felt.
“Woof! Woof!” Doggie lay beside the lake and barked non-stop.
As it barked, a black figure gradually emerged, wandering back and forth in the lake.
From the looks of it, the Ice Lake Python was massive!
Upon seeing this scene, Gabriel immediately took Doggie away from the lake.
“That’s a big one!” Gabriel looked at the figure in the lake and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
According to his estimation, this monster was at least 10 meters in length, almost the length of the entire lake.
The Ice Lake Python was in the lake, so Gabriel could not see its full appearance, and naturally, he could not get any information about the monster.
This gave him a headache. He did not anything about the Ice Lake Python. If he fought it head-on, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
It was obviously impossible for him to leave at the moment. How could he give up such a good opportunity?
“Let’s wait for a moment.”
Gabriel muttered.
He was prepared to have a long fight with the python. Monsters needed to eat too. Unless there were fish in the lake, the python would definitely leave the lake and enter the forest to search for food.
As long as he knew the specific strength and weakness of the Ice Lake Python, he could make his move.
The Ice Lake Python seemed to have sensed something. It wriggled its huge body and slowly sank into the lake.
Gabriel was hiding in the bushes not far away, staring at the lake.
Time flew by quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the sun set.
The roars of monsters could be heard from the forest. When it was close to night, monsters would come out to hunt for food.
Gabriel felt hungry and thirsty, but he could not start a fire to roast meat in the forest.
Otherwise, the fragrance of the roast meat would attract monsters. With that, he would be in great danger.
Just as he was about to leave, a wild boar slowly approached the lake.
“Here we go.” Gabriel squatted down again and quietly watched everything that was about to happen.
The little wild boar slowly walked toward the lake. It did not sense any danger at all.
“Oink!” The little wild boar cried out excitedly and began to drink the lake water.
The huge body gradually emerged from the depths of the lake again.
The little wild boar still did not sense the impending danger. The wild boar was so thirsty that it could not sense anything approaching it.
Splash!
The Ice Lake Python made its move!
A huge snake emerged from the lake, revealing its sharp fangs. It viciously bit the little wild boar and swallowed it into its stomach in an instant.
The poor little wild boar did not have the chance to resist at all. The Ice Lake Python just swallowed it like that, and the wild boar died without knowing why.
The Ice Lake Python had its meal and continued to lurk in the water, waiting for its next prey to approach the lake.
It was blue in color, and there were three ice flower marks between its eyebrows.
The python would usually swallow its prey, and then digest it through the strong acid in its stomach. In the end, there would be only bones left in it stomach. It was just that simple.
Gabriel, who was hiding in the bushes, also received all the information about the Ice Lake Python.
[Ice Lake Python]
[Type: Monster]
[Quality: D]
[Level: 5]
[Skills: Frozen. Poison Release. Death Bind.]
[Description: A deadly killer hiding in the depths of the water. Possesses extremely strong physical attributes. It can instantly freeze its prey into an ice sculpture.]
Looking at the detailed information about the Ice Lake Python, Gabriel’s expression was awful.
This was definitely the first troublesome monster he had ever encountered.
