The giant serpent crashed headlong into the city wall of the fortress.
In an instant, the wooden city gate, more than two feet thick, bent as a whole and broke, completely unable to bear the weight.
The giant serpent shook its head left and right, scattering the wooden splinters, then charged again.
This time, the gate could finally hold no longer; the entire section collapsed with a roar, allowing the giant serpent to crawl in effortlessly along the ruins.
A foul wind whipped up, sand and stones flying everywhere.
Up close, it could be seen that the serpent's head had two large fleshy lumps, and there were more beneath its belly—its bizarre appearance was nauseating to behold.
Fortunately, most of the bandits near the city gate had already fled in advance, otherwise, quite a few would have fallen prey to the serpent's gaping maw.
