Chapter Eighty-Three: Holy Water

  "Master, is what you said true? Is the Beastman Union really that good?"

  "Right! They are indeed a bunch of guys who would risk their lives for the fate of their own race. Although I don't know what the future holds, but the current Beastman Union is indeed an organization that is united, friendly, and highly tolerant. Even naturally opposing races within it must address each other as brothers, strictly forbidding infighting. It's said that if there's a situation where one harms their own kind, that beastman will be expelled by the entire union and hunted down by all beastmen. Heh heh, although this method is absurd, it's not a bad way to gather people's hearts. Speaking of which, I'm quite familiar with them. Do you want me to introduce you? With your abilities, you could make a good officer anywhere."

  "No, no, no. Since I've already decided to follow you, how could I go and join another organization? Perhaps the Beastman Alliance is not bad, but after all, I don't have any contact with them and don't understand their environment, whether it's really suitable for me or not. But in these two days, following you, I've witnessed your words and actions, and discovered that you're a very kind master. Compared to this, following you, I think is the most suitable choice. Because I believe in my own judgment."

  "Haha, Yinbi, I appreciate your honesty."

  "You're too kind, sir. I'm just telling it like it is."

  "Unfortunately, my current abilities are still insufficient, and I have no way of breaking open the Azure Water Divine Altar to set you free. Moreover, that thing is very peculiar and cannot be forcefully broken through with brute strength. Otherwise, it would cause damage to your souls, or even lead to a violent explosion of your bodies."

  "Master, you've done your best. I see everything you've done for us. Hehe, it's also my own foolish fantasy. In fact, these soul-binding altars were all built by the first generation of water nymph queens, now worshipped by those scattered remnants. From smelting techniques to various binding arts, they were all passed down to Borweisna, truly divine skills. Unless one has the correct method, even a half-god level strongman would be helpless against it."

  “………”

  In the green ocean, the flood that had been raging for many days lost its momentum and gradually became powerless. In the end, it was no match for the powerful self-regulation of the tropical rainforest. After leaving countless jumping fish, shrimp, and crabs in the dry mud pit, it could only helplessly retreat. From this point on, the terrifying flood that started with the torrential waves triggered by Betsman, followed by frequent heavy rains, and combining the power of all three, wildly sweeping across thousands of miles of land in Gaya, finally came to an end.

  Of course, what is referred to here is only the inland area. The five estuaries of the Pengbai River and other tributaries are still turbulent and rapid, and the impact brought by the tide has not disappeared, but has become more intense.

  In one of the tributaries that radiated outward from Wum, two guys suddenly appeared sitting on a lotus leaf floating on the water, with a two-meter diameter banana leaf in front of them, loaded with all sorts of fruits and half-cooked seafood. The two were eating and chatting, having the time of their lives. It was Old Liu and his new little brother, Yinbi.

  At this moment, their situation looks a bit strange, even more powerful than the Iron Palm Water Drifting of Guo Jing and Huang Rong back then. The old master Qiu fought against the wooden stakes on the water surface and at least walked on it. They, however, sat on the water with a big butt, eating things casually, their bodies not only didn't sink, but instead went against the wind and waves, going upstream along the rapid river water, and the speed was quite fast. There's an inexplicable eerie feeling.

  Yinbi was talking and suddenly brought up that sensitive topic, and suddenly lost interest, lowering his head in silence. Old Liu also felt a bit disappointed, he himself was someone who couldn't stay still, liking to find things to do when there was nothing to do. Feeling bored now, he even felt a headache coming on, so he slapped the water surface and shouted loudly: "Big Cow, come out to eat!"

  As Old Liu shouted, about 20 meters in front of him, the water surface "suddenly" burst open with a loud bang, creating a huge splash! In the midst of the splashing water vapor, an enormous head emerged. It seemed to be a majestic Sea King Beast that had made its presence known.

  This sea king beast is indeed ferocious in appearance, with a broad head and curled lips that reveal a row of sharp fangs. On either side of its forehead are two massive curved horns about 7-8 meters long, making it look like a fighting bull. Judging from the length of its body that it inadvertently revealed, it's probably already over 100 meters long. Compared to all the sea monsters Old Liu had seen before, this one is at least one size bigger, and is absolutely a dominant beast in the deep sea.

  The Sea King Beast looked at Old Liu in confusion, who casually pulled out a melon the size of a human head and tossed it over. On instinct, he took a big bite, swallowing it whole without even chewing. However, mentally, he conveyed a very depressed message, while also expressing his desire to eat meat.

  This sea king beast was very unfortunate. At first, it was swept away by the giant wave of Besman to the mainland of Gaya. It was the overlord of the sea king beasts and had a strong desire for monopoly, unwilling to drift with other sea monsters, so it started its solo journey. It was prepared to plunder the land and settle down here. However, the tragedy is that it, like Old Liu, was also a road idiot. As soon as it entered the vast rainforest, it became dizzy and lost its sense of direction. It wandered in the flood for several days, unable to find the exact location of the river. Until later, when the floodwaters receded, it was still stuck in a muddy swamp, on the verge of death.

  At this time, our brave old Liu appeared and saw that it was a large body, a material that could be made, so he asked if he wanted to sign a contract with himself and become his own follower. The sea king beast itself had no dignity to speak of, and its head was not bright, whoever's fist was bigger would naturally follow who. Now it was thirsty and hungry, and it was about to die from lack of water, so it wouldn't care what old Liu was, as long as it could save its own life, even if it was a mouse in front of it, it would immediately nod its head in agreement. So, old Liu took advantage of the fire to rob, gathered various sea monsters that lacked water, and his team expanded again, increasing the population by a lot. However, in the end, only this sea king beast was pleasing to the eye, conforming to old Liu's taste, and it was pulled out to serve as his own means of transportation, carrying them quickly along the way.

  Of course, Lao Liu's gains didn't stop there. On that day, after killing three water monsters, apart from the 15W beastmen brothers in the Beast Taming Ring, Lao Liu also picked up many good things. For example, that bottle of holy water that was said to be able to cure all injuries and bring people back from the dead. Another example is a crystal chip with countless inscriptions, recording the secrets of the water monster's chant.

  Moreover, according to Yinbi, the crystal vial containing the holy water was also an extraordinary spatial vessel. While maintaining the miraculous effect of the holy water, it could hold hundreds of tons of holy water and quickly transfer it in case of emergencies. In other words, this seemingly small bottle of holy water, which looked like only a few dozen milliliters, actually contained tens of thousands of liters. If used reasonably, it could almost save millions of people. Upon hearing this, Old Liu was stunned, having experienced many storms and waves, he was shocked by the vastness of the Water Demon's generosity.

  So now that he had some free time, Old Liu excitedly took out the crystal vial and played with it. He hummed a tune as if he was enjoying himself. As for the other miscellaneous items, although there were quite a few, Old Liu, whose vision had broadened, really didn't think much of them and directly threw them into the spatial equipment lent to him by the High Priest (the fruits that disappeared earlier were also inside). In just two days, he completely forgot about it.

  "Wait a minute, wasn't it said that the Water Witch Queen and Badak had a conflict? Is this just a rumor?" Old Liu suddenly thought of a question.

  "This, I happen to know a bit about." Yin Bi suddenly lifted his head and interjected.

  "Oh! Tell me about it." Old Liu's gossiping heart was burning fiercely, and he hastily moved to Silver Nose's side, excitedly saying: "Hurry up and tell me, I want to study the enemy situation."

  "From what I know, Badak and the Water Witch Queen indeed have a deep-seated grudge between them. So much so that he'd rather be stationed far away from the Water Witch's main city at Delbryen River than return here again. The Water Witch Queen seems to want to mend their rift, but can't seem to find an opportunity."

  "It turned out that they were deeply affectionate siblings. I still have some JQ." Old Liu pouted, his interest immediately dampened by half.

  "It's also possible." But what Silver Nose said next made Old Liu almost spit out his words. "The siblings were originally the most excellent individuals left behind by the previous queen, possessing extremely terrifying potential. According to the tradition inherited from the original Blood Mosquito era, they should have combined to give birth to even stronger offspring. However, later on, Badak quietly brought back a son, shocking all the Water Wraiths. The Water Queen was furious and had dozens of arguments with Badak. Their conflict probably started from this."

  "My god, the customs of this world are really open!" Old Liu was stunned, but after thinking about it, he felt a bit bewildered: "I must have thought too much. This might be like the ancient Egyptian pharaohs' practice of marrying within their own family, which is to maintain the purity of their descendants' bloodline and also increase their political leverage to consolidate their position. I just don't know if the water demon's close relatives will give birth to a monster."

  Yin Bi has been mixed in the main city of the Water Demon for so many years, and the rumors he heard are not exaggerated. Now that he has gained momentum, he is even more excited to say: "Moreover, I heard that the water demon elders in the Temple of the Water God have been dissatisfied with Badak's independent behavior for a long time, and may take this opportunity to deliberately hinder the Water Demon Queen's rescue plan, delay the time, and use the Western Sea Clan's hands to eliminate him. So, the Water Demon Queen had no choice but to make a foolish move. She secretly dispatched her trusted followers with two treasures, beast soldiers and holy water, to provide for Badak and help him through the difficult situation."

  "I said, how could those water monsters be so stupid. Leaving the main army unused and secretly doing these things, it was an internal struggle! Hehehe, but no matter how cunning you are, how can you escape my old Liu's thousand-mile pursuit? This time I've benefited from it!" Old Liu thought to himself with self-satisfaction, distorting the facts, turning his experience of getting lost and accidentally achieving success into a premeditated plan.

  Two people chatted about the gossip of the Huabai Shuiyao, while their mount, a big cow, galloped forward and rushed into a vast river area. Before Old Liu could ask where they were, the big cow suddenly raised its head and let out an excited loud roar.

  "What a terrible scream! Shut up!" Old Liu kicked him hard and scolded.

  "Master! It seems there's one of its companions up ahead, it's gathering its own kind!" Silvernose stood up and shouted loudly.

  Wen Ning felt like she was going crazy, her logic was about to be messed up by this world...

  Forced to join the army, but what's going on?! Which dynasty's army is so fierce?! In this era, are there also knockoff armies?!

  What is this combination? Abdominal Black General + Perverted Military Advisor...

  Good grief... She's been struck dead by a thunderbolt!

  "Hey, who's that? You think you can just eat me out and then leave like this?!!!"
