The God of Eight Heads, Eight Tails, and Eight Feet (23)

The main tributary of Yunmeng Marsh leading to the southern coast.

This is a tributary with an extremely large flow, and many riverbanks and dams have been built along its course.

It was through this main tributary that the boats of the Mountain Folk were able to continuously reach the southern coastal areas to provide support and rescue operations.

"How many batches of injured people have been brought here?"

Looking at the wounded on the passing ships, Qiwa, standing behind Qinghe, couldn't help but ask.

Because so many wounded soldiers had been brought back during this period, the Mountain Folk's stock of medicinal pills had almost run out.

As far as Qiwa knew, Li Boyang had been devoting all his energy to alchemy recently, apart from allocating resources and personnel.

"This is the 376th batch of wounded soldiers..."

A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes as Qinghe answered in a low voice.

One of the main reasons she followed Qiwa here to treat the wounded was to find her own people.

Unfortunately, so much time has passed.

The number and number of wounded soldiers being brought back from the southern coast have decreased significantly.

This means that there are basically no survivors left in the southern part of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

The "survivors" here refer not only to the Mountain Folk, but also to a greater number of spirits and monsters, as well as more powerful gods.

Never give up hope until the very last moment.

After a brief silence, Qiwa, who really didn't know how to comfort her, could only say this.

"It's okay, I've already accepted reality."

Turning around gently, Qinghe forced a smile and said.

"My only purpose in life now is to avenge everyone."

The moment Qinghe finished speaking, the river suddenly surged with waves.

The next moment, the wave turned into a whirlpool, and a huge head emerged from it.

The nearest boats were immediately capsized, and the Mountain Folk and the wounded on board fell into the water, crying out in agony uncontrollably.

What is that!?

This was not only a question for the Qiwa, but also a question for all the Mountain Folk and spirits who witnessed this scene.

It's important to know that this is a tributary of the Yunmeng Marsh.

Not to mention that the tidal wave invasion has been stopped at the front line.

Even if the tides continue to expand inland, it is absolutely impossible for them to reach this place.

So who exactly is this enormous head emerging from the water, and what is its purpose?

"Tian Wu!!!"

While everyone was pondering the identity of the head and how to deal with this unexpected situation...

Qinghe also turned his head and saw the huge head clearly.

The bloodshot eyes and the hateful roar immediately revealed the identity of that enormous head.

"I'm going to kill you, Tian Wu!"

There was almost no hesitation whatsoever.

The Qinghe spread its arms, and the bronze texture on its body surface emitted a gleaming light.

This is Invocation Law from the Kingfisher, and also the ability of the Qinghe as a shaman.

Boom!

In an instant, a beam of light pierced through the clouds.

The light focused like neon on that enormous head.

As if struck by a high-intensity laser, the enormous head immediately emitted blue smoke, and a faint flame ignited it.

Upon seeing this, Qiwa disregarded his reprimand of Qinghe's recklessness.

He quickly lunged forward, grabbed the other person, and ran backward.

Because after capsizing the ship, the enormous head had turned to look in the direction where the two were.

To Qinghe's despair, the head merely glanced at her, its expression completely unchanged.

It's like casually glancing at the ants at your feet while passing by an anthill.

Tumultuous!

After realizing that "ants" had just attacked him.

The enormous head slowly opened its mouth, and murky seawater gushed out, polluting the waterway and rushing towards Qinghe and Qiwa.

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, with Flying Peak.

"Is that Tian Wu?"

Seeing Tian Wu suddenly appear on the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land], Xiluo couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

At this moment, the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] floated in mid-air in a fully unfolded state, and Xiluo could clearly see the movements of the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

So from her perspective, it wasn't like a head suddenly popping out of a tributary.

Instead, eight heads emerged simultaneously from eight different tributaries, and all of these heads shared a single body.

--Eight heads, eight tails, and eight feet, and its entire body is greenish-yellow.

This is Tian Wu as seen from the perspective of the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land], a Heavenly Deity completely beyond comprehension.

If I had to use a vivid analogy...

It's as if eight different tributaries have simultaneously transformed into an incredible water god; this is Tian Wu's current form.

But here's the problem: Xiluo knows Tian Wu.

As one of the many Ghost God who escaped from Ghost God Cliff, Tian Wu briefly joined Wuzhiqi's army.

Furthermore, he launched a sneak attack on what is now the Flood Control Village, acting as a "collaborator" of the Third Prince.

However, Tian Wu was eventually defeated by Lord Tiaoyao and disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.

Xiluo even once thought that He had been caught up in the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] during that great battle and had become a sacrifice in the battle between Heaven-Eroding Lord and Wuzhiqi.

But now it seems that Tian Wu did not die in that great flood.

Instead, for reasons unknown, he went to the South Sea and joined the ranks of the South Sea God.

"Something seems off about Him?"

The eight-headed, eight-tailed Tian Wu was stirring up huge waves in all the rivers leading to the southern coast.

Even someone like Xiluo, who isn't particularly sensitive to the overall situation, could tell that Tian Wu's current state was very strange.

In reality, attacking those eight tributaries would not only fail to stop the Mountain Folk from supporting the southern coast, but would also invite a powerful siege from the Ghost God of Yunmeng Marsh.

"He was just bait."

Just then, Li Boyang, who had returned from Li Household Village at some unknown time, said this.

Despite looking slightly tired, Li Boyang smiled, a rare occurrence, as he gazed at Heavenly Deity deity in the [Diagram of Mountains, Rivers, and the Land] who was causing a flood.

"It seems that the god of the South Sea has finally lost his temper."

Xiluo glanced at Li Boyang and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

"You mean, He's just a scapegoat, deliberately thrown out to distract us?"

Li Boyang tossed the Heavenly Mandate Bone Plastron lightly and smiled confidently.

"No, He isn't even a pawn..."

"He is now just a freak forcibly put together."
