The black shadow rose very quickly and broke through the water surface in the blink of an eye. With a bang, it stirred up a wave several feet high.
The river surged and the waves rolled, suddenly flooding most of the high platform on the shore. The people on the shore were caught off guard, and many people were swept into the river by the waves.
"Oh my God! What is that!"
"The river monster is out! Run!"
"Help--"
On the surface of the river, there was a huge turtle-shaped beast floating. It had a turtle shell on its back, but on the shell were huge thorns. Its tail was like a giant python, more than ten meters long. It could easily roll up a person and put him into its mouth.
That mouth is the most terrifying. Inside it are rows of sharp teeth like those of a crocodile, with amazing bite force. When a person enters its mouth, it closes its mouth and the surrounding water quickly turns red.
"Spinning turtle!" Wu Qi blurted out as he looked at the giant beast in the water.
The spiritual energy in the outer world is so thin, how could a monster of this level exist? With such fighting power, it could walk sideways in the inner world.
Wu Qi felt a chill in his heart just by looking at it, and he turned and ran away.
She came here to look for someone, not to get killed. Her strength was totally not enough in front of the rotating turtle, so she had better stay as far away from it as possible.
"Save me—"
A man was struggling in the water not far away and shouted at her.
Wu Qi acted as if he didn't hear anything, walked straight past him, and ran very fast on the water, as agile as a water monkey.
The man stared at her in shock, his face filled with disbelief. Wasn't this the incarnation of the river god? She was blessing them just now, how could she turn a blind eye to their suffering in the blink of an eye?
The river bank was in chaos. Everyone was running for high ground as fast as they could. Countless people were pushing and squeezing each other, fearing that if they were a step slower they would be swept away by the river or dragged into the water by the river monster.
Xue Huan and Pei Ji escorted Xue's mother and the other two to the high ground first. However, when they arrived, Xue Huan found that Pei Ji was missing. She sent Xue's mother and the other two to the carriage, watched them leave, and released the scent-seeking bees to look for Pei Ji.
"Ahhh, help! ---" A man was rolled up by the tortoise's tail and pushed into its mouth. He screamed in fear and beat the tail around his waist with his hands, but he couldn't move the tail at all.
Seeing the bloody mouth of the river monster so close, the man closed his eyes in fear, thinking that he was dead this time. However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, he heard a shrill roar from the river monster.
Because he was too close, he was knocked unconscious by the high-decibel scream.
The body fell into the water along with the severed tail of the spiral turtle.
It turned out that just when he was about to be swallowed by the spiral turtle, a masked man in black suddenly appeared and cut off the spiral turtle's tail with a sword.
The roar of the spiral turtle was filled with anger and pain, and its pair of huge dark red eyes stared at the person in front of it. How could such a tiny existence, not even as thick as the spike on its back, hurt it!
It wants to catch this man, take him deep into the water, trap him in a hole, and eat him bit by bit!
The spiral turtle suddenly stuck its head out. Its huge head was like a snake. When it suddenly stuck out, it was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it bit and swallowed a person in the water.
After eating a person, its broken tail actually grew back!
Apparently it is able to accelerate its growth and healing by consuming humans.
The tortoise swung its tail and came towards the man in black at such a fast speed that it left a trail of afterimage, making it look like a large black shadow pressing down on the man in black.
The man in black stepped on the waves as if they were walking on flat ground, jumping on the water surface at an extremely fast speed, as fast as teleportation, and always managed to avoid the tail of the spinning turtle in time.
At a certain moment, a man in black suddenly appeared from above the turtle's head, and the sword in his hand slashed down like a cold light.
This was exactly what Xue Huan saw when she came over.
The direction that Xunxiangfeng was heading was clearly where the man in black was.
Could it be that the man in black is Pei Ji?
He was wearing a mask, was he afraid of being recognized? His clothes were also changed, and they were not the same ones he wore when he went out. This showed that he did it intentionally. Was this the behavior of someone with amnesia and the mental capacity of a child?
Judging from the actions of the man in black, it is clearly normal!
An answer is about to emerge, Pei Ji has recovered his memory!
When? Was it just now? Was he suddenly revived by the river monster?
There were many thoughts in her mind, but the reality was only a moment away. When she came to her senses, Xue Huan saw that the river monster was not hit by the sword of the man in black. It had just retracted its head into its shell in time and avoided the thundering attack.
Looking at the people still struggling in the water, Xue Huan took a deep breath. Now was not the time to think too much, so she should rescue them first.
Xue Huan took a deep look at the man in black who was fighting the river monster, cast an illusion on herself, and transformed herself into the appearance of Master Zhao when he last appeared at the auction. She flew into the air on a huge white crane and then lifted the illusion.
"Ah, the immortal is coming!"
"Immortal, help me—"
"Save me—"
The people floating in the water rushed to reach out to Xue Huan, shaking them desperately to try to attract her attention.
Xue Huan threw down a number of palm-sized paper boats, but the moment those paper boats hit the water, they became the size of normal boats.
Each boat landed precisely beside the drowning men, who hurriedly reached out to grab the boats and climbed aboard.
Afterwards, Xue Huan rode the white crane to another area of water and also left behind several small boats.
Some people had already sunk into the water. Xue Huan's spiritual consciousness wandered in the water, accurately locating the positions of these people. Vines as thick as thumbs shot out from her fingertips, pulling them up one by one and sending them to the shore.
Without her saying anything, the people on the shore immediately provided medical treatment to these people.
"Roar—" The turtle let out a deafening roar, affecting even those farther away on shore. They felt dizzy and swayed like drunkards. Some even lost their balance and fell to the ground.
Xue Huan looked over and saw that the turtle-shaped river monster seemed to be no match for the man in black and wanted to dive into the water to escape.
She immediately rode over on a crane, took out the Snowflake Knife in her hand, followed the man in black into the water, and chased the river monster.
Noticing her arrival, the man in black paused, looked at her, and seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth in the water, so he gestured to her, indicating her to go up.
Xue Huan ignored him and swam towards the river monster faster.
The water is the home of river monsters. If you don’t intercept and kill it in time, it will be difficult to kill it after it dives into the water.
The river monster suffered a great loss at the hands of humans this time. If it is not killed to prevent future troubles, what awaits humans is endless revenge.
If it comes up from time to time to stir up trouble and eat a few people, the entire Bailong River will be in turmoil.
So this time, we must take advantage of its weakness to kill it and get rid of it in one go!
