What was that?
Lin Chen was suddenly startled, because the black shadow he had just glimpsed was quite large, almost the size of a basketball.
'A creature this big was so close, yet I hadn't noticed it at all!'
He broke out in a cold sweat, gripping his military knife tightly. He circled halfway around the coconut tree, his eyes fixed on the spot where the dark shadow had moved.
As he changed his position, several thick crab legs came into view from behind the tree trunk.
A strange, bizarrely shaped crab the size of a washbasin was huddled silently at the base of the coconut tree. Three pairs of its legs were as thick as wrenches, and its two claws rivaled the size of those on a Boston Lobster.
There was a plate of shell on both the left and right sides of its body, making it look like it was wearing two Heart-Protecting Mirrors.
