The city of Nong Khai was next to the Mekong river and was home to a strange phenomenon

Every year between October and November, they hold the Nong Khai Naga Fireball Festival, there mysterious fireballs rise out of the waters of the Mekong River

As of yet, it is still unexplained by science, but legends say that they are released by large serpent dragons called nagas, who live in caves under the river

Unfortunately, they were not there are the appropriate time of the year

After hearing about Jamie's adventures with monsters in Africa, she thought that as an incentive to visit her parents, she would tell him about it, and it worked

But as Anong's parents house was next to the river, he decided to check it out

"Will you be alright?" Anong asked as Jamie waded naked into the waters in her backyard, late in the night

"I'll be fine. Just go to bed. I'll explore all night, so don't wait up" Jamie said

He claimed to be able to breathe underwater, and see in complete darkness. Normally Anong would doubt anyone else saying that.

But she had complete trust in whatever Jamie said and gave him a kiss before he waded deeper into the dark river and dove in

The Mekong River is the 12th longest river in the world, flowing from China to Cambodia. But the Naga Fireball phenomena only occurs on this stretch of the Mekong, for a certain 250 km stretch of the river

The distance was not a problem for Jamie, having swam up and down the Nile and Amazon before this

He swam deep underwater searching for caves, and found that the bottom of the river could be as deep as 90meters deep

There was a system of multiple caverns at the bottom, but nothing could be found

He followed his senses only to swim deeper into the underwater caves, narrower and narrower that he could no longer use his arms to swim

Fortunately, he has been used to using his penis to swim, which he had mastered in the Nile

Initially he used it like a propeller to propel himself like a motor. But later on, he found it more efficient to suck in and shoot out water like a squid, and he didn't disturb the water as much this way and was able to more effectively control his direction. 

The underwater cavern suddenly opened up into a large cavern, somehow containing a large air pocket 

There was a patch of land that even grew many trees and plants, having it's own ecosystem

He walked on the land, surprised by this underwater patch of garden when suddenly, he felt a presence watching him

Suddenly, he saw multiple eyes staring at him. 

[It's a two leg]

[What is a two leg doing here?]

[Kill it! Eat two leg meat]

Jamie looked at the creature talking and was shocked that it was 1 creature talking to itself!

It was a snake, and enormous, but not as large as Snake God he met in Africa.

But this snake had 7 heads! This was the Naga, but it also reminded Jamie of the legend of the Hydra, which Hercules supposedly fought and killed

And while the Snake God was a enormously large constrictor snake like an anaconda or python, this snake looked like a 7 headed cobra as they all had hoods on their head!

But unlike the Snake God which was isolated in the middle of nowhere in Africa, this monster lived right in the middle of a river that flows through many inhabited countries! How was that possible that nobody has ever seen it?

[I am Jamie the Hunter. I have come to fight you] Jamie communicated

[Fight us? Stupid two leg] one of the head said and shot venom at Jamie

Jamie dodged the attack, which melted a rock where he was standing

The venom seemed to burst into flames as it was shot at him, and it was hot enough to melt rock!

His eyes opened in shock. As he had fought several physical battles before, especially the Snake God and Mkele-Mbembe, he thought this would be another physical battle

But the Naga was a spitting cobra, able to shoot it's venom at a distance. And it's venom seemed to ignite and it melted stone!

No wonder the inner parts of this cavern seem to be smooth and carved

And it explains the fireball phenomena too

[We have not had two leg flesh for a long time. Don't blame us for your death]

It occurred to Jamie that the snake was too large to fit through the underwater tunnels that he swam through. 

This naga had been stuck all these centuries, growing bigger and bigger, and unable to get out of here

The naga struck again, this time with one of it's heads charging at him for a strike, and he dodged it like a mongoose, smashing it's head with his fist

The blow could crush the skull of a bull, but it only stunned the naga, and Jamie wondered if he bit off more than he could chew

His claws popped out from his palms, and more from his fingertips, each dripping with venom as he charged in full battle mode

His penis shot webs at the naga, trapping it in place and webbing it up as he bounced across the cave dodging its venom

The whole cave became covered in webs, and fireball seemed to be burning it in many places as both the naga and Jamie battled

Jamie was so preoccupied with the venom attacks he was blindsided by the tail which suddenly whipped at him at speeds that broke the sound barrier, smashing into him and breaking his arms that he urgently used to block!

The naga struck instantly before he could recover, sinking its fangs into him from its middle head

The venom caught fire as it travelled through Jamie's body and he screamed in pain as fire burst out from every orifice, even his eyes caught fire!

The naga started swallowing him as Jamie felt his consciousness slowly fade away

"No! I can't die here! Anong is waiting for me" he thought, trying to stay awake as he felt the naga's mouth engulf his top body as he slid into it's mouth head first

It's throat started constricting in a motion that pushed his body deeper into it's mouth and into it's throat while the bottom half of his body hung limply out of it's mouth

He as his penis and butt entered it's mouth, he started shooting webs again, filling it's mouth with web that webbed it's mouth!

It's other heads roared with anger as he slammed it's head containing Jamie in it onto the ground

Jamie's skin immediately secreted poison from the many poisonous frogs and such, but at a amount no small creature could match

The naga suddenly felt ill and instinctively knew that this two leg was not to be eaten!

But Jamie was not webbed inside it's mouth as it trashed about breaking more of Jamie's body before it dislodged him and spat him out from it's damaged mouth!

Looking at his mangled body, the naga smashed it's tail on him several times to kill him before whipping him away into the water!

Jamie's limbs were broken and his ribs and internal organs were badly damaged, but he managed to swim out of there as fortunately, his penis was still fully functional

He swam slowly out of the narrow tunnels, feeling that the residents of the Mekong were fortunate that the Naga was stuck in the cavern, unable to leave

He followed through the familiar route he took, back to Anong's house

"Jamie!" she said, seeing his mangled body arrive at her backyard. Apparently, she had been waiting up for him all night

He was glad to see her, and not her parents. He would not be able to explain what was going on

After all, his body was badly injured with burns and blood everywhere, and he was holding on to a large severed serpent tongue!

Anong was small, but was strong for her size and she carried him to the nearby bathroom so as not to leave blood everywhere

He told her to feed him the tongue, raw and she obeyed as she had seen him heal before

"So... you fought the naga?" she asked as Jamie recovered before her eyes

"Yes.. It was monstrous" he said

"So where is it?" he asked, believing him after seeing the large tongue that he devoured

"It's stuck in an underwater cave, unable to get out as the tunnels were too small to fit it. I barely managed to swim through" Jamie told her

He told her about his adventure and what happened, and she was shocked that such a monster had lived close by her home for centuries.

But he assured her that it could not escape, so she shouldn't me worried. After all, he probably scared it from humans after tonight

As he had mostly recovered, she removed her clothes and proceeded to bathe him

After all, he was covered with blood and with the raw water of the Mekong River

It was still very early in the morning, so Anong brought her to her room and he slept like a baby
