The Water Lizard and Giant Moth were both somewhat bewildered.
Seeing how fierce the other party was, they had originally planned to slip away.
But what happened next?
After beating the Giant Serpent until its life or death was unknown, the other party actually reached out and made a gesture that anyone with hands would probably understand.
He beckoned to them.
He roughly meant for them to come over.
What were they supposed to go over for? To fight?
Was he looking down on them? Did he think they could not beat him?
Was that not far too arrogant?
The Water Lizard was the first to grasp that meaning.
After all, the other party had just defeated a big fellow. Now that he was beckoning to them, did that not mean he was looking down on them and provoking them?
He wanted it to go over, then defeat it too?
What kind of joke was that?
This guy was looking down on it far too much, was he not?
Although the Water Lizard hesitated somewhat, so many of its people were watching. How could it show weakness?
It cared about its pride too, though it did not know what pride was.
In any case, it could not let its people think it was afraid of the other party.
So, the next moment.
"Roar!"
The Water Lizard threw back its head and roared. At that moment, all the surrounding currents gathered around it.
Just as the Water Lizard was preparing to exchange a few moves with the Giant Beast opposite it, it saw the other party roar as well.
However, his roar was not particularly loud or imposing. Instead, he gestured with his hands and waved them about.
It was as though he was saying that he was not looking for a fight?
Was he afraid?
The Water Lizard found it all utterly baffling. What exactly did the other party want?
The somewhat hesitant Water Lizard looked up at the Giant Moth in the sky.
The Giant Moth in the sky was equally confused.
It had no idea what the Giant Beast on the ground wanted.
Could it be that, after winning against the Giant Serpent, he was exhausted and afraid that it and the fellow in the water would attack him, so he intended to share the meat with them?
The not-so-sharp ancient Giant Beast thought for quite a while before finally reaching what seemed to be a very reliable conclusion.
At that thought, the Giant Moth's eyes immediately lit up.
Yes, that had to be it. The other party was already exhausted. His vigorous appearance was merely a disguise.
Share the meat?
That was fine!
And even if it had misunderstood, it did not matter. It could fly, after all. As long as it kept a safe distance, it could simply turn around and flee.
The Giant Moth was not fond of fighting.
It was even somewhat cowardly. It had spent most of its life on islands overseas and had seen far fewer conflicts.
Thus, it instinctively did not wish to fight other Giant Beasts.
Even if it won, getting injured would still hurt.
Ever since it had been wounded by a Giant Beast from the other side of the ocean and fled a million years ago, it had not emerged for a very long time.
If its people had not used drawings to tell it that Giant Beasts were fighting and that it might be able to seize some Blood Food, it would not have wanted to come out at all.
It did not see a mutually destructive battle, but it did see a powerful brute that could breathe fire.
That was rather frightening for a moth.
It could breathe fire, and it was supposed to go snatch food? Would it not become the other party's target when flying low?
Therefore, seeing how terrifying Kangqiao was earlier, the Giant Moth had already intended to flee.
Only, things were different now.
Since the other party had invited it to share the food, what was bad about that?
Free food!
So after giving it some thought, the Giant Moth was the first to fly toward Kangqiao.
Seeing the Giant Moth head toward him, the Water Lizard in the water froze briefly before moving downstream toward him as well, its gaze full of wariness.
The three Giant Beasts drew near one another, leaving the various watching races utterly stunned.
"Heavens, what does that God of Lava intend to do? Why is our Mother Goddess going over too? They are not going to fight, are they?"
Under the night sky, several Mosquito People elders in the air began discussing the matter with both worry and curiosity.
"They probably will not fight, right?"
One Mosquito Person said uncertainly, "The God of Lava's gesture just now seemed like he wanted to discuss something with our Mother Goddess?"
"After all, gods are the greatest beings. They must have mysterious ways of communicating, so I do not think we mortals can speculate carelessly about them. What do you all think?"
"Besides, look, the God of Water is going over too!"
"Wow, it really is! Heavens, what am I seeing? Ancient gods gathering together for the first time, and they even seem to be planning to discuss something."
"This is so exciting! I must record such a sacred and magnificent scene!"
A young Mosquito People elder cried out. With shining eyes, it took out the shell tied around its waist and began practicing its people's art.
It wanted to record and draw this scene, so that all mortals would know of this great day!
Perhaps it would become famous then?
Just thinking about it filled the Mosquito Person with boundless excitement.
"A gathering of gods... Perhaps this could change the situation of the various races having fought one another for millions of years."
The oldest and wisest Mosquito Person suddenly murmured to itself, its eyes fixed tightly and excitedly on the distance.
Although Mosquito People were innately weaker than most of this world's Extraordinary Races in size and strength, they were far more intelligent than other races.
Their thoughts were unconstrained, and they were naturally optimistic. Though somewhat arrogant and prone to stirring up trouble, that was not necessarily such a bad thing.
It was precisely because of this that, in an age when all races were hostile toward one another and their languages were mutually unintelligible, they created means of communication and became important sources of information for certain races.
Through vivid drawings, they could most directly convey what they wished to express to the various races. At the same time, this laid a historical foundation and provided momentum for the eventual emergence of a unified written language in this world.
At present, these Mosquito People perhaps did not yet know the significance of their race in advancing this world's civilization, but they would learn in the future.
The Shark People and Dinosaur People were also mostly discussing the matter at this moment.
They discussed what would ultimately happen when the three gods came together.
However, no matter what happened, they mortals could not change it.
They could only watch and quietly await the final outcome.
The Serpent People had been defeated. Some began fleeing madly like headless flies, wanting to get as far away as possible.
But after calming down, many Serpent People continued standing firmly around the outer perimeter to watch.
Their god had lost, but he certainly was not dead.
After all, through their serpentine infrared vision, they could still sense that their god's body temperature remained warm, and the area around his heart was still rising and falling with each beat.
So they would wait, waiting for the final conclusion.
The God of Lava must have had some reason for not killing their god. Since he had not killed him at the beginning, perhaps he would not kill him afterward either?
Could the other party's god truly be so merciful?
The Serpent People were anxious and uneasy, but all they could do now was wait. They did not want to die, nor did they dare offend that powerful god.
Thus, so long as they did not abandon their god, waiting was truly the only thing left for them.
Besides, what use would fleeing be now?
Without a god's protection, their race would ultimately be exterminated.
In this barbaric age, in this age where "people ate people," were they to pray for an enemy's mercy?
Perhaps only the most utterly foolish people would think that way.
