"An old turtle dares to make trouble in the Central Plains and proclaim himself the River God?"
"Is this because the people in the Taoist Academy and Supervisor Tiansi are slacking off?!"
Just when everyone on the shore was trembling and not knowing what to do, suddenly a low and heroic voice sounded.
Suddenly they couldn't help but look up. Only then did they notice that the goddess kneeling on the shore had long since disappeared, replaced by a black and blue giant as big as a house, with a fishy smell all over her body.
Looking closely again, this giant thing as big as a small mountain turned out to be an old turtle that had grown for who knows how long!
It's just that at this moment, the old turtle, which had been alive for who knows how long, was lying on the ground lifeless.
There was a tear on the chest, and blood was constantly oozing out, and the banks of the Huaihe River were dyed with a layer of blood.
It also made everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath. They felt their hearts were broken and they didn't know what happened.
"This is not an ordinary old turtle... There is no such thing in the Huaihe River mouth..."
"It should have come from downstream."
Another clear voice sounded, and only then did the man who was kneeling on the ground saw that on the river, there were two figures standing on the top of the two awning boats coming upstream.
One was holding a wine flask and carrying a long sword on his back. His beard looked like a man who had seen through the world with a hint of freedom and heroism.
Another simple man in Tsing Yi, his facial features seem to be ordinary, but it gives people a sense of existence that is deeply imprinted in the mind, and I can't remember his specific appearance.
Needless to say, this is a passing fairy figure coming to slay demons!
The thought flashed, and those who had not stood up yet quickly fell down again.
All kinds of sounds rang out, which made the two people on the awning boat look at each other and shake their heads speechlessly.
"Brother Zhao, look at this old turtle..."
The bearded man pointed at the giant thing on the shore. It was Yan Chixia who had followed the water veins from the capital of Jin Dynasty to the seaside.
And the Zhao brother he mentioned was naturally Zhao You.
"It hasn't matured yet, and it can't be transformed into a human form. I can only control a crazy woman who has become a walking corpse and demand sacrifices."
"How could such a monster dare to show up at this time?"
Frowning, Yan Chixia didn't care about the crowd who were still prostrating themselves. It was not him who asked these people to kneel anyway.
"This old turtle, from the looks of it, must have just settled here not long ago. I'm afraid he was kicked out of his nest."
"If my guess is correct, the battle at sea should be getting more intense, and it will soon reach the point where the final outcome will be clear."
After coming to this world, Zhao Youqian was very curious about the creatures in various places. After all, this world can transform into monsters, which in his opinion is equivalent to the self-upgrading of food ingredients.
Therefore, he could clearly see things that Yan Chixia didn't recognize.
He had heard about this type of turtle before from passing merchants. It is a special kind of turtle that lives in rivers close to the sea. In addition to the unique strong taste of turtle, the stewed soup also has its own flavor.
The deliciousness of the sea.
It is also a major local feature.
However, this kind of soft-shelled turtle is different from other soft-shelled turtles. It can only be found where salty and fresh water meet. The Huaihe River Estuary is considered inland, so naturally it cannot be regarded as a place where it grows.
Even if it transforms into a monster, it will follow its habits and find a place that is more in line with its habitat as its home base.
Being able to reach the mouth of an inland river with completely fresh water already explains a lot.
Apparently something was driven near its previous nest, and then it couldn't afford to offend it, so it had no choice but to endure the change in environment and migrate inland.
This is why not long after it came here, it wanted to use its own magical powers to ask for human sacrifices.
The influence of the environment still has some influence on a monster like it that has not yet fully enlightened its spiritual intelligence.
In an uncomfortable environment, it began to subconsciously seek ways to speed up its own cultivation process.
In the world of Xianxia, there is almost only one way for such monsters to speed up their cultivation... blood food, humans!
Fortunately, Zhao Youqian and Yan Chixia arrived in time, and the old turtle hadn't really eaten a human yet.
After all, only the blood food sacrificed by humans has the ability to increase their cultivation. Those killed before were just piles of rotten meat.
Originally, it wanted thirty human sacrifices at a time, which was enough for it to go further.
This monster is quite alert. After doing this once, it will not come out again for decades. When it reaches a breakthrough in cultivation, it will leave the estuary and the matter will naturally dissipate.
Even if someone comes looking for it, nothing can be found.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Youqian and Yan Chixia arrived, and they directly dealt with this old turtle who was a little ignorant but quite cunning.
After hearing what Zhao Youqian and Yan Chixia said, and seeing that the two awning boats had docked, someone tremblingly stepped forward from below.
"Two immortals, do you have a name? We will definitely offer incense every day..."
As if turning a deaf ear to what these people said, Zhao Youqian glanced at the big old turtle with interest.
"This can be regarded as a rare ingredient. Lao Yan, look at my fingers and cut off a piece of meat. Later I will make you a braised turtle to try. By the way, I will also try this monster's cooking. How to deal with it."
Yan Chixia's eyes lit up when she heard that there was food.
"Okay! I've been looking forward to delicious food for a long time!"
"There's nothing delicious along the way."
"Say, I'll cut it off for you."
As a result, everyone could only watch blankly as Zhao Youqian commanded Yan Chixia to chop off several pieces of meat and skirts from the mountain-like old turtle.
Immediately afterwards, they rescued everyone on the awning boat and sent them to the shore. Then they took a awning boat and disappeared directly on the water waves.
The two groups of people on the shore looked at each other, not knowing what to say to each other.
Finally, with a shout, everyone on both sides dispersed in a rush, and the entire Huaikou Town seemed to have nothing happened, and the familiar lively scene of the past began.
However, many people on the merchant ships could not help but look at the huge old turtle at the port.
I don’t know what happened, but at first some people wanted to imitate the two immortals and cut some meat. They didn’t understand until several kitchen knives were used to cut it and they couldn’t cut off a piece of meat.
What the gods eat is not something ordinary people can eat...
We could only rely on dozens of small boats to drag the old turtle into the water, thus burying the matter deeply in the water!
