"Oh? Lackey, do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?" Bai Yin still wore a smile, but Qian Mo could faintly sense that the heat around her was rapidly rising. If it were to explode, the power would be no less than before!
"Senior Yayu? If you don't show yourself soon, if Qing Tong really dies, your purpose might not be achieved!" Qing Tong seemed indifferent, but the words caused Bai Yin and the other beasts to change their expressions instantly.
Yayu, a special life form, unique in its existence. The beasts present were all powerful beings within a vast territory, yet even they regarded Yayu as an anomaly among anomalies! If it had any defining trait… it was that it devoured humans!
While surprised, Qian Mo's mind recalled some ancient texts about this ferocious beast…
From the "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Western Classic of the Seas": "Two hundred miles north lies Mount Shaoxian, devoid of vegetation, with many azure beasts. Its shape resembles that of an ox, with a red body, a human face, and horse legs. It is called Yayu, and its cry resembles that of an infant. It devours humans and emerges from the waters to the east, where many fish known as 'Qianqian' feed on it and kill people."
It is said that it once had a gentle nature and was kind-hearted, resembling a serpent with a human face… Later, a deity with a similar appearance named Er Fu discovered its existence and, feeling offended by the resemblance, became enraged and killed it. The Heavenly Emperor, moved by its unjust death, resurrected it. However, Yayu unfortunately fell into Ruoshui and re-emerged as a red bull deity with horse legs and a human face that emitted cries like an infant! No longer gentle as before, it now delighted in devouring humans!
Of course, in this world, Yayu might be somewhat different; after all… he had never heard of such beings as the Heavenly Emperor in the Primeval World…
As Qing Tong's words fell, the previously calm river suddenly began to boil violently. Waves surged across the visible riverbanks. At that moment, even the dullest person understood… something was about to emerge from the water!
"What a strong aura… and there’s more than one… what’s going on?"
"Is there something lurking in the water?!"
"Could it really be Yayu?!"
The boiling water drew everyone's attention. The leaders of various races sensed an overwhelming force emanating from it. In an instant, they became somewhat flustered.
"The Azure Water Crocodile Clan, have you also chosen to betray Bai Xu and become lackeys of the Bai Ze Clan?" Bai Yin sighed softly; her voice was calm but filled with chilling coldness. Clearly furious at yet another clan betraying their lord!
"What? It's the Azure Water Crocodile Clan? How is that possible?!"
"Yeah, the leader of the Azure Water Crocodile Clan is a powerful being who has successfully transformed; as a guest elder of this territory, they wouldn’t need to get involved in this mess so easily!"
"Wait… Lord Bai Yin is right. I once fought alongside a small group of Azure Water Crocodiles during an enemy extermination; I can vaguely distinguish their aura. This… is definitely them!"
