Not only that after the confirmation of the existence of the swamp monster been published, and heard about the hunt lead by the emperor, many local hunter has volunteer for what they called "a hunt of a lifetime". They arrived at Hunter's mound at later morning, and from there they reached the ruin quickly afterward. After an hour or two they finished set up the ambush, on the top window of the center tower of the ruin now hung a strawman, with those odd symbols painted on it with chicken blood, Empress Aucelen also infused an illusion spell on the strawman to make it look just like human. After all the preparation are finished, Tsun Lin starting to perform the summoning ritual. But observing Tsun Lin performing the ritual, seeing him fumbling around and stutter while chanting spell. Emperor Lam cannot help but have the feeling that Tsun Lin may have no idea what is he doing. And turn out it is true, after hours and hours of waiting and nothing happen, Emperor Lam asked why the ritual does not work. Tsun Lin finally admit he do not know how to do the ritual, he just lies to get out of the fate that befell his accomplices and said that the sacrificial ritual was always been done by Touton. Enraged, Emperor Lam order he be castrate and put in slavery. Emperor Lam then order the volunteer hunters search the surrounding area of the ruin, in hope of finding some track, after all the ruin is the place that have the most sighting of the monster. Few more hours pass, the hunters finally found something. About 200 lias from the ruin, a hunter found some slithering tracks on the mud near the water edge, but that was all they can find, the swampland it vast and difficult to traverse, Empress Aucelen said from her people expedition record, the swampland stretches all the way to the Great River's estuary, the monster can be anywhere, looking for it in this vast and thick vegetation, is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Finally, when twilight come they have no choice but to return to Jar Dee.

Just 15 minutes late, Jar Dee is in their sight, and they can see people are running in panic on the street trying to get away from the beast. Emperor Lam and Empress Aucelen land on the city wall, from there they can saw the monster swiftly slithering through the streets with an amazing speed for a limbless beast, crashing through houses, crushing anything on it way and anyone not fast enough to get out of it way, created a mass panic everywhere it goes. The serpent is gigantic, its head shape like a normal python but with an elongate snout resemblance an alligator's snout, its length is easily over 100 or 150 lias long, with half to one lia in diameter at its thickest part and covered in black and shiny scales under the twilight sun. Its tongue slipping in and out of it mouth smelling the air, like every normal serpent. The serpent seems to heading somewhere.
