Shangguan Lingyun shook his head. "This matter is indeed strange, but Cangwu Mountain is within Dayu's territory, so it's not convenient for us to investigate."
"But your fourth brother and Princess Xinya's visit this time is a good opportunity."
"Your fourth brother and Dugu Xin are both prudent people. We don't need to worry about them for the time being."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded, and Shangguan Lingyun asked her with a faint smile how her martial arts test went today.
"Maybe it's because we haven't reached the final moment yet. Although they are all strong and healthy, they are still a little inferior to Wang Xiao and Tianxuan."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, "Of course. Let's not talk about Tianxuan first, let's talk about Wang Xiao. He is the leader of the secret guards that my husband has trained for many years."
"Okay, since there's nothing to see at the beginning, you shouldn't go there and get exposed to the wind and sun for the next few days."
"If you're really interested, I'll send someone over to take a look and come back to tell you about it."
"Wait until three days after the final competition, and I will go with you."
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded helplessly, talked with Shangguan Lingyun for a while, and then went back to the palace to rest.
At the foot of Cangwu Mountain.
Dugu Xin and Han Yu followed the guard's instructions and indeed came to an unguarded section of the river.
However, although this section of the river does not look too wide, the water is very turbulent.
Moreover, on the other side of the river is Cangwu Mountain, and no one knows how deep the river is.
"Master, I heard from the people in the village down the mountain that a monster once appeared here."
Dugu Xin naturally didn't believe in any monsters. At most, it was just some animal that had undergone abnormal changes in its growth.
"Have you sent anyone to find out what the strange beast looks like, what its characteristics and weaknesses are?"
Han Yu shook his head. "I only know that everyone who has seen the strange beast has died, and their bodies have been bitten beyond recognition."
Dugu Xin frowned, "So, this strange beast really does eat people. Tell everyone to be careful."
The people Dugu Xin brought with him on this trip were all his former confidants from the No. 1 Manor in the World, so he cherished them especially.
After hearing Dugu Xin's instructions, everyone became cautious.
"Go find some thick ropes or vines, and then go hunt some game."
"We will temporarily camp here today. Let's try using wild game to see if we can lure out the strange beast."
When Han Yu heard this, he thought it was a good idea and immediately ordered someone to do it.
Everyone was busy, while Dugu Xin stood by the river and looked carefully.
Soon, he saw several huge claw marks in an inconspicuous place by the river.
The claw marks are larger than human footprints, and it looks like there are four claws.
Moreover, since it has claws and can come ashore, it means that this strange beast is stronger than ordinary aquatic beasts.
He pulled out the book about the antidote to the heart-linking medicine that Ye Xiaoxiao had given him and compared them carefully.
Dugu Xin was certain that this strange beast must be the liverless one in the portrait.
After confirming this, Dugu Xin found Han Yu again and gathered everyone together.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is the liverless creature I'm looking for in the album, also known as the earth dragon."
"This creature is very ferocious and enjoys devouring raw flesh, but it has two weaknesses that everyone must remember."
"First, although its bite force is amazing, its pulling force is very weak."
"So, if you encounter a situation where it doesn't open its mouth, try to control its big mouth as much as possible and don't let it open easily."
"It has claws, so it can live in the water and also climb onto the shore."
"But its second weakness is that it follows a routine. It will usually climb back the same way it climbed up."
"So, if you find it crawling out, you can set up an ambush on its way back."
"But its skin is thick, making it difficult to cut with ordinary swords, and its belly is very soft."
"Secondly, its eyes are relatively fragile. It can only see distant objects, but cannot see nearby objects clearly."
"If it gets very close to you, remember not to act rashly. It's best to control its big mouth with one strike."
"The most important thing is that you can injure it, but you can't kill it, especially its abdomen."
What Ye Xiaoxiao wanted was a liver without liver, so Dugu Xin knew that the body could be injured, but the abdomen must not be opened easily.
This means that they must give up the easiest killing option and choose to capture them alive.
After everyone had an idea, they began to discuss countermeasures.
Finally, they decided to set a trap on the earth dragon's way back and catch its mouth as much as possible.
So the next thing to do is to lure out the earth dragon first.
The people Han Yu had sent to catch prey had returned. Looking at the prey in his hand, Han Yu felt a little troubled.
"Master, does this earth dragon eat raw or cooked food? Dead or alive?"
The booklet Ye Xiaoxiao gave him didn't say this, but it didn't bother him.
"Prepare a little of each for it, placing them in four directions to increase the chances of catching it."
Han Yu nodded, and then asked people to go hunting and collect firewood. Soon, everything he needed was prepared.
"Master, the prey is roasted. I don't know when the earth dragon will appear. Please eat something first."
Dugu Xin did not refuse. He took the barbecue from Han Yu and took a few bites.
"Have you asked the people about the situation on the mountain? Besides the strange beasts, has there been anything unusual here recently?"
Han Yu responded while sitting next to Dugu Xin and eating.
"We sent people to inquire about it when we came here, but the people don't know the specific situation."
"I only know that Cangwu Mountain was suddenly surrounded by people, and then many strange beasts suddenly appeared in Cangwu River."
