As the large Siamese crocodile splashed into the artificial lake, the atmosphere instantly reached a crescendo.
At this moment, not only were streamers and self-media gathering, but even the official television station of Ningnan City had arrived.
A live broadcast vehicle with a logo drove directly into the zoo, all to catch a glimpse of the mysterious water monster.
The crowd's enthusiasm was so high that netizens online were also busy.
Almost every streamer on-site had a large number of curious netizens flooding their live streams.
The moment the Siamese crocodile entered the water, the bullet comments exploded.
"Holy crap, that's one massive crocodile. It's true that no animal in this zoo is normal."
"It was one thing for that tiger to be so big, but why is the crocodile also so huge? Did the zoo director used to raise pigs?"
"Hahaha, they actually have a pig in their zoo, but that pig is now as thin as a dog. It's said to have anorexia."
"What do you mean 'thin as a dog'? Look at the husky in their zoo; even a Tibetan Mastiff would be knocked out by it with one swipe."
"With the animals in their zoo, they could film a 'Fantastic Beasts' movie."
"Film it! Film it immediately! I'll invest. If I don't have enough money, I'll sell my house."
"No need for that, my friend."
"What I'm most concerned about now is whether this crocodile can really defeat that water monster? I heard the water monster is over ten meters long."
"How can the rumors get more and more outrageous? Ten meters? Why don't you say tens of meters long?"
"Stop jawing and watch the live stream. Are you scared, streamer? Hurry up and jump into the water, give us a high-definition view."
...
While everyone's attention was focused on the lake, Yang Lin saw a different scene before his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, it was the scene within the lake water.
With the shared vision, he could now see everything within the Siamese crocodile's view, as if he himself had jumped into the water.
As the Siamese crocodile continuously patrolled in the lake, the conditions at the bottom of the lake were quickly revealed.
To his confusion, there wasn't a single fish in the lake, let alone a water monster.
"Where are my fish? The tens of thousands of fish fry released every year, I was planning to catch a good haul for some pocket money during Chinese New Year. Where have all these fish gone now?"
"Could it be that that damned thing devoured them all?"
Looking at the empty lake, Yang Lin felt a surge of anger.
When the Siamese crocodile descended to a depth of over forty meters, a network of interconnected pits appeared before his eyes.
There was no doubt that if possible, the giant water monster was hiding in one of these pits.
But the problem was that he didn't seem to have a way to find it.
"Do I have to check them one by one?"
Just as this thought crossed Yang Lin's mind, a huge dark shadow suddenly shot out from a mining pit behind the Siamese crocodile.
Before the Siamese crocodile could react, it was directly rammed.
"It's here!"
Almost instantly, Yang Lin knew that the creature lurking at the bottom of the lake had made its move.
But before he could clearly see what the water monster looked like, the Siamese crocodile opened its massive jaws and bit back at the dark shadow.
Its speed was far beyond what ordinary people would expect from a crocodile.
This was clearly the result of Yang Lin activating its innate abilities.
The Siamese crocodile now not only possessed an incredibly robust physique but also a speed that surpassed that of ordinary fish.
In less than a second, its huge jaws had clamped down on the dark shadow.
Its terrifying bite force, capable of crushing solid wood, pierced the shadow's outer skin and dug deeply into its flesh.
However, just as Yang Lin thought he could easily subdue this water monster, a great force erupted from the creature, flinging the Siamese crocodile away.
Seeing the dark shadow trying to escape, the Siamese crocodile didn't hesitate. It swung its tail, and its massive body shot forward, intercepting the dark shadow in no time.
Seeing this, Yang Lin let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank goodness I allocated points to agility. If I had chosen 'Savage Growth,' it probably would have been dragged around by this water monster for a while."
"Little Fatty, drive it to the surface! I want to see what this thing is!"
As Yang Lin gave the command, his voice echoed in the Siamese crocodile's mind.
Receiving the order, the Siamese crocodile didn't pause. It immediately turned and began to corner and block the dark shadow.
At this point, Yang Lin could finally get a rough look at the so-called water monster.
It was clearly a pitch-black fish about six to seven meters long.
However, due to the poor lighting at the bottom of the lake, its exact appearance was still somewhat unclear.
This was why he had the Siamese crocodile drive the large fish to the surface.
After about ten minutes of pursuit and interception, the large fish, harassed beyond its limits, finally swam towards the surface under the Siamese crocodile's chase.
Seeing this, Yang Lin on the shore quickly fixed his gaze on the surface of the lake.
The next second, under the watchful eyes of countless people, a huge dark shadow slowly emerged from the lake.
Instantly, the onlookers on the shore erupted in a frenzy.
"Holy crap, the monster is finally out! It's so huge."
"It's really that monster! Was it really driven up by that big crocodile?"
"Quick, quick, prepare the cameras! We can't miss such a crucial shot."
"We're about to find out what that water monster really is."
"I wonder if that big crocodile can catch it."
At this moment, everyone was filled with anticipation.
And at this very moment, the Siamese crocodile's figure followed closely behind.
With a sound of breaking through the water's surface, a massive jaw clamped down fiercely on the dark shadow.
Then, everyone witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.
On the vast surface of the lake, a colossal crocodile was tightly biting onto a monstrous fish almost as large as itself.
Although the monstrous fish was struggling with all its might, now pushed out of the water, it had no strength left to break free from the Siamese crocodile's gaping maw.
After a series of bone-crushing sounds, the black monstrous fish immediately ceased struggling.
Witnessing this intense scene, the surrounding onlookers felt their blood boil.
When had they ever witnessed such a primal and powerful battle so up close?
This made them feel that buying tickets was well worth it.
However, as the Siamese crocodile slowly swam towards the shore with the black monstrous fish in its mouth, a hint of curiosity arose in everyone's hearts.
What kind of fish could grow so large, almost rivaling the Siamese crocodile?
As everyone showed signs of confusion, Yang Lin's gaze upon the monstrous fish revealed a hint of understanding.
"So, it was you, of all things."
