Chapter 058: Man-eating Beast

After the leader of the Divine Realm left the ancient city of Nanyue, the first time was of course to lead the group of heavenly soldiers and generals under him to Xiliang City in the northwest of the Central Plains.

Xiliangcheng is located in the northwest direction of the Central Plains, that is, to the west of Chang'an. This Xiliang City has also been built here many times, although its scale is not as grand as Chang'an City, but it will not be much inferior.

At noon on this day, the weather was clear, the sky was blue and the clouds were white, and the leader of the divine realm chased the sun, leading the group of heavenly soldiers and generals under him, disguised as a group of travelers, and came to Xiliang City. They were greeted by a wide, curving avenue of brown stone, lined with all sorts of merchants, taverns, inns, dyeing houses, armory, herb shops, and so on. On the street, there is an endless stream of merchants and tourists, all kinds of street stalls, hawkers, acrobatics and gangsters, and the noisy atmosphere makes them feel that this is the capital. Because Xiliang City is rich in silk and tea, because the merchants here often have to go to Chang'an to do business, so the prosperity of this city is no less than the capital of the five countries in the Central Plains.

The leader of the Divine Realm chased the sun, and as soon as he arrived at his destination, the first thing he did was to find out what new and strange things were happening in the place from the people here. Just as he was inquiring about the people here, suddenly the sky above this Xiliang City became dim, and when he looked up, a huge black cloud was pressing down on the city, and the people here saw a large black cloud in the sky, and hurriedly shouted in panic, scrambling to escape. For a while, the entire Xiliang City was suddenly in chaos. The leader of the Divine Realm couldn't understand what this was, so he grabbed one of the middle-aged men who was running away and asked him what had happened and why it was happening. I saw that the middle-aged man was pale, and said with a panicked expression: "The man-eating monster is coming, we have to flee for our lives!"

"Monsters, where are the monsters?" asked the leader of the Divine Realm, Chasing Ri, with a puzzled expression, and after hearing this, the middle-aged man pointed to the northwest direction of Xiliang City. Sure enough, a monster the size of a cow, a tiger in the appearance, covered in hedgehog fur, with wings, barking like a dog, and a yellow-green body appeared with teeth and claws. It seems that this is one of the four fierce beasts of ancient times, it is said that it is the evil god who suppresses good and promotes evil, and it is the resentment of the water god, and usually lives by eating people. The poor beast often flew to the scene of a fight, biting off the nose of the justified party, and if someone committed an evil deed, he would catch the beast and give it to him, and encourage him to do more bad deeds. For all this, the leader of the Divine Realm, Chasing the Sun, was originally just a rumor, but he didn't expect it to finally come across today.

Although the appearance of the ancient fierce beast Qiqi made the people of Xiliang City chaotic, there were still wicked people who were not afraid of it and waited here unhurriedly for its appearance. At this time, just ten steps next to the leader of the Divine Realm, there were two gorgeously dressed young men fighting, one was a man in red and green clothes, named Ouyang Zhong, and the other was a man in yellow and white clothes, named Situ Nan. The leader of the Divine Realm, seeing that there was a fight next to him, stepped forward to ask. It turned out that the young man named Ouyang Zhong accidentally bumped into the young man named Situ Nan when he was walking in the market on Xiliangcheng Street, and the two immediately had a verbal altercation. After Ouyang Zhong bumped into someone, he said sorry and turned around and left, but who knew that this Situ Nan rushed up and grabbed his clothes and didn't let him go. Situ Nan asked to take the opportunity to blackmail and ask Ouyang Zhong to compensate for the medical expenses, but of course Ouyang Zhong refused to agree, so the two fought, scuffling into a ball, until the leader of the God Realm came over, and the two let go of each other. Under some theory, the leader of the Divine Realm, Chasing Sun, said that he couldn't pay attention, and the two were still arguing. Under the quarrel, fists and feet are indispensable.

Just as the leader of the Divine Realm had left, this poor strange beast with a yellow-green body flew next to the two young men in gorgeous clothes. When the two saw a monster flying beside them, they ignored it and continued to fight, and both sides were already blue and swollen at this time.

"Why are you like this? But after hitting you, I actually asked me to compensate for the medical expenses, you are really unreasonable!" Ouyang Zhong scolded sharply.

"If you hit someone, according to the law, you will have to pay for the medical expenses. Looking at your outfit today, you shouldn't be able to take out even a copper plate, right?" Situ Nan said with a sneer.

"I just accidentally bumped into you, and besides, I've already apologized, what do you want? Uncle Ben has money, why should you give it to you? You let me pay you money, I might as well give it to the beggar on the street!"

"In short, if you don't lose money, I don't want to leave here today!" After Situ Nan finished speaking, the poor strange beast with a yellow-green body standing on the side pounced over, threw the young man named Ouyang Zhong in red and green clothes to the ground, and then bit off his nose and devoured it in its mouth. Suddenly, this Ouyang Zhong had no nose, blood splattered all over the ground, lying on the ground and rolling around, constantly struggling, and the expression of the ** screaming was extremely painful. Situ Nan, who was standing on the side, saw this scene, and his face turned blue with fright. The strange thing was that this poor strange beast did not attack him, but flew away in the northeast direction, while this Situ Nan stayed where he was stupid. Seeing this scene, the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals under the Divine Realm Leader Chasing Sun wanted to step forward, but he was stopped by a loud shout.

After half a moment, the yellow-green poor beast flew over from the northeast, and it still held a black wild boar in its mouth. At this time, Ouyang Zhong was already in a state of shock and dying because of excessive bleeding and not being treated in time. When it flew to Situ Nan's side, it threw the wild boar in its mouth in front of him, and then flew away in the northwest direction with Ouyang Zhong's body in its mouth.

Seeing this, the leader of the Divine Realm chased the sun, and of course ordered the group of heavenly soldiers and generals under his command to follow him to chase after this yellow-green poor beast. Due to the extremely fast flight speed of this strange beast, the leader of the God Realm, Chasing Sun, and the group of heavenly soldiers and generals under him could not catch up at all. Soon, there was no trace of this poor beast. Still, they chased in a northwesterly direction.

In this way, the leader of the Divine Realm, Chasing Sun, and his men flew in the air for a long time before they finally stopped, and what appeared in front of them at this time was a yellow-green forest, exactly the same color as the body of the ancient beast Qiqi. The strange thing is that there are no birds and beasts in this yellow-green forest, some are just the skeletons and bones of some people, presumably those birds and beasts are probably eaten up by this poor beast, right?

"Master, here are all the skeletons and bones of some people, do we want to go in?" The leader of the Divine Realm, the soldier of the Chasing Sun of the Divine Realm asked worriedly, and the leader of the Divine Realm, Chasing the Sun, glanced at him and knew that he was afraid of this strange beast, so he decided to use the method of agitation.

"What? Are you scared? If you're scared, go back. As soon as the Divine Realm Leader Chasing Sun said this, the other Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals present burst out laughing.

"Who's to say I'm scared of it? ”

"Well, since you're not afraid, follow me. Brothers, if any of you are afraid, you can go back, and I will definitely not embarrass you!" As soon as the voice of the leader of the Divine Realm Chasing the Sun fell, all the heavenly soldiers and generals began to talk one after another. No one chose to leave, though.

The leader of the Divine Realm, Chasing Sun, led his group of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to carefully walk through this yellow-green forest, all they saw along the way were human skeletons and bones, and of course, there were some yellowed clothes that had been torn into tatters and some gold, silver and pearls and other jewelry on the ground. Since the poor beasts usually eat people for a living, the first time is of course to choose those who are fat and white. For this fat and white person, the taste is like people enjoying food, and the reason is the same. These fat and white people are generally rich and noble, so there will inevitably be gold and silver jewelry and other things on their bodies.

"Wow, there's a lot of gold and silver jewelry here, and if it's all mine, then it's going to be developed!" said one day.

"What is gold and silver jewelry? Money is nothing but something outside of the body, and if it were me, I would like to sleep with a different beautiful woman in my arms every night. Another soldier continued.

"You two, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tell the Divine Venerable and let him relegate you to the mortal world!" said one day in a sharp voice.

"Okay, don't talk anymore, wake me up, be careful of being attacked by that monster!" As soon as the Divine Realm Leader Chasing Sun said this, all the heavenly soldiers and generals naturally did not dare to make a sound, and immediately entered an emergency state of defense.

I don't know how long I walked, but a huge blue lake suddenly appeared in front of me. Seeing this, the leader of the Divine Realm hurriedly made a gesture, signaling his subordinates not to act rashly. Strangely, there are no human skeletons in this blue lake, but there are piles of human skeletons on the edge of the lake. Could it be that this monster was willing to go down after eating people on the edge of the lake?

"Master, this should be the dwelling place of the ancient beast Qiqi. The Divine Realm Leader Chasing the Sun will say thoughtfully.

"Is there any basis?"

"You see, the lake is full of human skeletons, and there are none. Besides, this poor beast is the embodiment of the resentment of the water god Gonggong, and the water god's duty before his death was to protect the Stygian Sea in the north, and it stands to reason that it should live in this lake. ”

"In that case, how about you go down and explore the realm?"

"This, this, this ....... ”

"Alright, this god has his own way of dealing with this monster. You all stay aside for this god venerable, and you are not allowed to act without my orders, understand? If anyone dares to violate it, the heavenly rules will deal with it!" Can the leader of this divine realm, Chasing the Sun, find out where this ancient beast lives in the strange place?Or is it this blue lake where it lives?
