Chapter 301 26: God of Eight Heads, Eight Tails, and Eight Legs (2/3)
The main tributary leading from Yunmeng Marsh to the southern coast.
This is a tributary with an extremely large runoff, along which many river embankments and dams have been built.
It is by traveling through this main tributary that the mountain people's boats can continuously go to the southern coastal region for support and rescue missions.
"How many batches of wounded have been sent over by now?"
Seeing the wounded on the incoming and outgoing boats, Qiwa, who was standing behind Qing He, couldn't help but ask.
Due to the sheer number of wounded being brought back in recent times, the mountain people's stock of pills is almost completely depleted.
As far as Qiwa knew, besides the allocation of materials and personnel, Li Boyang had devoted all his energy to alchemy recently.
"This is the three hundred and seventy-sixth batch of wounded..."
With a tinge of sadness flashing in her eyes, Qing He answered softly.
One major reason she was here with Qiwa to treat the wounded was to find her kin.
Regrettably, after so much time had passed.
The number and frequency of wounded being sent back from the southern coast had significantly decreased.
This implies that in the southern part of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, there are scarcely any more survivors left.
The "survivors" here refer not only to the mountain people but also to a greater number of spirit monsters and the more powerful gods.
"Until the last moment, never give up hope."
After a brief silence and not knowing how to comfort someone, Qiwa could only say this.
"It's okay, I've already accepted reality."
Turning gently around, Qing He forced a smile and said.
"The only purpose for my living now is to avenge everyone."
Just as Qing He finished her sentence, the river suddenly surged with waves.
The next instant, those waves turned into a vortex, and a giant head unexpectedly emerged from it.
The nearest boats were immediately capsized, and the mountain people and wounded on the boats fell into the water, letting out uncontrolled wails.
"What is that!?"
This was not only Qiwa's question but also the question of all the nearby mountain people and spirit monsters who witnessed the scene.
It's important to know that this is a tributary close to Yunmeng Marsh's water vein.
Not to mention that the sea tide's invasion had been blocked at the frontline.
Even if the sea tide was still expanding inland, it absolutely couldn't spread to this place.
Then what kind of divine being is this enormous head emerging from the water, and what are its intentions?
"Tian Wu!!!"
Just as everyone pondered over the identity of the head and how to deal with this sudden situation.
Qing He also turned her head to see the giant head clearly.
The expression filled with rage and the roar full of hatred instantly revealed the identity of the giant head.
"I want to kill you! Tian Wu!"
With almost not a moment of hesitation.
Qing He spread her arms wide, and a brilliant light emanated from the bronze texture on her body surface.
This was the blessing technique from the Kingfisher, also Qing He's ability as a witch.
Boom!
In an instant, a radiant beam pierced the clouds.
Like a neon light, it focused on the giant head.
As if being swept by a high-intensity laser, the giant head started smoking, and dim flames began to ignite it.
Seeing this scene, Qiwa didn't bother to chastise Qing He's recklessness.
Quickly dashing forward, he grabbed her and ran backward.
For the giant head had turned towards them after capsizing the boats.
But to Qing He's despair, the head merely glanced at her with indifference.
As if casually glancing at an ant mound beneath one's feet.
Roar!
Realizing that it was merely "an ant" attempting to attack it.
The giant head slowly opened its mouth, and murky seawater spouted out, not only contaminating the water vein but also rushing towards Qing He and Qiwa.

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Feilai Peak.
"Is that Tian Wu?"
Seeing Tian Wu suddenly appear on the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," Xiluo couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
At this moment, the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" was entirely unfolded, floating mid-air, allowing Xiluo to clearly observe the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range's movements.
So from her perspective, it wasn't just one head emerging from the tributary.
But eight heads simultaneously appeared from eight different tributaries, all sharing one body.
——Eight heads, eight tails, eight legs, and the whole body cyan and yellow.
This was the Tian Wu seen through the "Map of Mountains and Rivers," a celestial god far beyond comprehension.
If one must make an analogy.
It's as if eight different tributaries simultaneously transformed into an astonishing Water God, that's Tian Wu's current image.
But the issue lies here, Xiluo knew Tian Wu.
As one of the many ghost gods that escaped from Ghost God Cliff, Tian Wu once briefly joined Wuzhiqi's forces.
And as a "partner" of the Third Prince, he had once attacked the current Flood Control Village in a surprise assault.
Yet Tian Wu was eventually repelled by Lord Tingyao and had since disappeared without a trace.
Xiluo once believed he got swept into the "Map of Mountains and Rivers" during that decisive battle, becoming a casualty of the clash between the Celestial Erosion Monarch and Wuzhiqi.
But it seems that Tian Wu did not perish in that great flood.
Instead, for unknown reasons, he went to the South Sea and joined the ranks under the South Sea God.
"Something seems off with his state?"
Watching Tian Wu with eight heads and eight tails raising giant waves in all paths leading to the southern coast.
Even someone like Xiluo, who usually isn't perceptive to the overall situation, noticed something was not right about Tian Wu's current state.
Because, in reality, ambushing those eight tributaries not only can't prevent the mountain people's support to the southern coast but will also invite the strong retaliation of the Yunmeng Marsh ghost gods.
"He's just bait."
At this time, Li Boyang, who had somehow returned from Li Family Village, said.
Though looking slightly weary, Li Boyang smiled unusually when he saw the celestial god causing water havoc on the "Map of Mountains and Rivers."
"It seems the South Sea God finally couldn't resist any longer."
Turning his head to glance at Li Boyang, Xiluo showed a thoughtful expression.
"You mean he's just a pawn being deliberately thrown out to disrupt our view?"
Gently tossing the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor, Li Boyang affirmed with a smile.
"No, he's not even worth calling a pawn..."
"He's merely a 'freak' forcibly patched together."
