Zaun's foul language is meant to kill its target, and this skill is usually not used casually. But unexpectedly, this time it was used, and the Yayu monster died but can simply be reborn. The skill's effect was thus resolved in this unconventional way.
No matter how the group tried to provoke it, the Yayu refused to fall for their tricks and remained hidden in the Weak Water, never showing itself again.
On several occasions, Zu'an deliberately flew to the Weak Water to make it easier for the other party to attack him, but unfortunately the Yayu remained unmoved.
They were all at a loss, exchanging bewildered glances: "What do we do now?"
"Should we go upstream and downstream to check if we can bypass the Weak Water?" Yu Yanluo suggested.
Yun Jianyue shook her head: "That's not appropriate. This Weak Water is obviously strange. It will probably extend along with our movement. It's not realistic to bypass it."
Yan Xuehen agreed with her this time: "Moreover, this is the first hurdle of the Hero's Journey that Shun mentioned. If we don't solve it, there's no point in going around it."
Zuan said in a deep voice, "Why do you think it can resurrect infinitely?"
Yan Xuehen pondered for a moment and said, "I think it doesn't seem to be a normal creature. Perhaps it is a manifestation of the essence of the Weak Water."
Eternal God Emperor
“That’s ridiculous. According to you, if we don’t deal with the Weak Water, we can’t deal with this monster?” Yun Jianyue questioned. “In my opinion, dealing with the Weak Water is many times more difficult than dealing with this monster. There’s no reason to use the difficult to solve the easy.”
Zu An said in a deep voice, "This Yayu is definitely not a living creature. I just tried it with my dagger... cough cough, the Death Dagger, but it didn't react. It's obviously not a living being, but more like a vengeful spirit."
“Indeed, I could feel a strong resentment emanating from it when we fought just now.” Yun Jianyue frowned and said, “Why are all the creatures I’ve encountered this time filled with resentment? The Taotie before was the same.”
Yu Yanluo exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean that Taotie can also be resurrected infinitely?"
“Not quite. Although they all harbor resentment, the feeling is still different,” Yan Xuehen explained. “That Taotie is so powerful that it has reached the level of an Earth Immortal. It is difficult to kill it, but it is also difficult to revive it once it is killed. Earth Immortals are involved in the rules of heaven and earth, and they need too much spiritual energy. If they die and are revived indefinitely, this world will definitely not be able to support them.”
Zuan pondered for a moment: "According to what Shun said before, that Taotie was a new ferocious beast transformed from the resentment of Gun after his death, but this Yayu doesn't seem to be a new transformation, but rather like... like a mutated zombie."
After thinking for a long time, he finally found a suitable way to describe it.
Yan Xuehen was taken aback, and immediately said, "That's right, now that you mention it, I can feel it too. It does have a zombie aura about it, no wonder we can't get rid of it."
“But it looks very agile, unlike any zombies we’ve encountered before,” Yu Yanluo said, frowning. With their cultivation and status, they had naturally seen evil creatures like zombies before. Although they were physically powerful, they often lacked intelligence and were not too difficult to deal with.
But that Yayu seemed quite clever; it could even see through their trap and hide in the Weak Water.
“This is always a potential breakthrough,” Yun Jianyue said excitedly. “Ice Stone Woman, do you have a peach wood sword or black dog blood on you?”
"Why would I have those things?" Yan Xuehen was taken aback.
“Your Baiyujing is a Taoist sect, isn’t drawing talismans and catching ghosts your specialty?” Yun Jianyue said matter-of-factly.
Yan Xuehen: "..."
"How can you, a grandmaster of your generation, believe in such things like a foolish woman in the mountains?"
"The Taoist sect can't even do these basic things; they're simply wasting their lives on trivial pursuits," Yun Jianyue said with great distress.
Yan Xuehen's brows furrowed: "Witch, are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
Yu Yanlu was exasperated. These two really never stopped. She hurriedly said, "Since they are zombies, why don't we try using fire to see if we can control them?"
Yan Xuehen shook her head slightly: "Ordinary zombies may be afraid of fire, but those that have reached the level of the Yayu are probably no longer afraid of water or fire."
“Ordinary fire won’t do. What about the White Lotus True Fire that Xiao Anzi recently obtained?” Yun Jianyue had a different opinion.
“That’s something we can give it a try.” This time, Yan Xuehen didn’t object.
Zuan pondered, "I'm a professional at exorcising ghosts, but I don't know if it will work on zombies."
The question then returned to how to lure the Yayu out. Zu'an said, "Since it doesn't dare to come up, I'll go down and find it!"
These words immediately drew unanimous opposition from the three women: "No, it's too dangerous."
“Actually, it’s not that dangerous.” Zuan said in a deep voice, “The most terrifying thing about the Weak Water is the unknown, but I’ve been to both the surface and underwater before, and I’ve witnessed its power, so I’m already mentally prepared.”
"But according to what you just said, once you go down into the Weak Water, your body will become heavier than a weight. How will you get back up then?" Yan Xuehen asked worriedly.
Zuan's gaze fell on the fiery red belt around her slender waist: "Isn't there this too? I just tested it, and the corrosiveness of the Weak Water has no effect on the Hun Tian Ling. And the Hun Tian Ling is stretchable. If anything happens, just pull me up."
Hearing him say that, the three women felt that it was somewhat feasible.
They weren't the kind of women who stayed hidden away from home; they knew they couldn't just stay trapped here, and they were willing to take some risks.
Yun Jianyue handed the Changxin Palace Lantern to Zu An: "Little Anzi, you probably won't be used to the Crescent Moon Wheel. Take this with you. It might not be able to trap that Yayu, but it can limit its agility to some extent."
