Chapter 532: Xiangliu!

~7 min read 1,293 words

In the original work, in the Mirage built by the Yin-Yang School, in the room of the Cloud God’s mansion, there were mechanical beasts built by the Gongshu family, named Nine-Headed Gouyu, which was the prototype of the Eight-Headed Serpent, "Xiangliu"!

And mentioning Xu Fu, it is inevitable to think of a certain island country, and then think of those messy myths.

In the island country’s mythology, the Eight-Headed Serpent is an existence that cannot be bypassed.

The monster in front of him had a snake body, but at the head, it branched out, possessing eight heads, which corresponded to the Eight-Headed Serpent in Su Xuan’s memory.

However, after observing carefully, Su Xuan found that he had guessed wrong.

Only because next to its eighth head, there was an old scar.

The scar seemed to have existed for a long time, but if you look closely, you will find that there should be a head there.

So, this monster should have had nine heads.

And there happened to be a monster with nine heads in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

It was "Xiangliu"!

Its records came from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Great Wilderness North Classic". Gonggong had a subordinate named Xiangyao, also known as Xiangliu. Xiangliu had a snake body and nine heads, and was so huge that it could eat on nine mountain peaks at the same time. It constantly vomited poisonous liquid to form a foul-smelling swamp with bitter water, and the stench it emitted could even kill birds and beasts passing by. It followed Gonggong to cause floods and harm the people, and halfway encountered Yu who was dedicated to controlling the floods. Gonggong could not defeat Yu and was exiled and imprisoned.

Xiangliu inherited Gonggong’s will and continued to make trouble, so Yu killed Xiangliu. However, Xiangliu’s blood was fishy, and the land it flowed through could not grow five grains. The saliva it left behind formed a huge swamp of poisonous liquid. Yu filled the swamp three times but it collapsed three times, so he had to open and organize it into a clean large water pool and build palaces and pavilions for the gods by the pool, called the Terrace of the Gods.

Although earlier on Mount Mount Liupo, after seeing the words left by Gan Jiang Gan Jiang Taigong, Su Xuan already knew that the disappearance of the Mountain and Sea world had a deep relationship with Emperor Yu.

Emperor Emperor Zhuanxu performed the "Severing of Heaven and Earth," and from then on, immortals and gods disappeared. But after the immortals and gods disappeared, there were still descendants of gods and humans, and many prehistoric beasts wandering in the human world, until the era of Great Yu, when the Nine Cauldrons were cast, the Nine Provinces barrier appeared, and the Mountain and Sea world was exiled to another space, and these descendants of gods and humans and prehistoric beasts completely disappeared.

This era finally belonged entirely to ordinary people.

Although the words left by Gan Jiang Gan Jiang Taigong were well-founded, except for the Ying Dragon encountered at the beginning, Su Xuan and the others did not encounter other prehistoric beasts. Unexpectedly, here, there was still a Xiangliu.

Listening to its meaning, it had existed alone in this dead and silent world for a long time.

"If you want to treat us as blood food, you must have the ability to do so!"

Su Xuan was calm, facing Xiangliu’s remaining eight heads, his expression indifferent.

The eyes of Xiangliu’s eight heads released sharp red light at the same time. In the next instant, its mouth opened, and green poisonous liquid that didn't look normal sprayed towards Su Xuan. Although the taste of blood food soaked in poisonous liquid was not very good, it was what it spat out, so Xiangliu didn't care much.

Su Xuan raised his hand, and a sword appeared in his hand.

This sword was the Chi You sword harvested in Many Loulan in the past.

Although the flying sword he cast with Chi You’s bones was also good and could carry his magic power, in terms of texture, the best sword in this world was always the Chi You sword. This sword came from the hand of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden and had slaughtered countless living creatures.

A sword was slashed out.

The magnificent sword light swept through.

The poisonous liquid sprayed by Xiangliu was eliminated under the sword light at the same time.

Xiangliu’s eight heads looked solemn at the same time, and then, its huge body probed out. A slight movement was enough to shake the mountains and the earth.

It was over a hundred meters long, and each head was over ten meters in size. It was a well-deserved prehistoric beast.

But it seemed that because it had been in this dead and silent world for many years and had nothing to eat, its own power had been constantly worn away over the years. At this moment, its body was extremely thin. Although its physique remained, it looked like skin and bones.

"I underestimated you!"

Xiangliu’s gloomy voice sounded. It dragged its huge body, and the eight heads moved at the same time, each spraying thick poisonous liquid and poisonous fog. Wherever it passed, it contained the meaning of the withering of all things, constantly enveloping Su Xuan.

The fishy smell permeated out.

Lady Yan and the others were shocked after Xiangliu appeared. As Su Xuan and Xiangliu fought, Lady Yan broke free from that sense of shock for the first time.

"Everyone, retreat from here quickly"

When saying this, Lady Yan operated her power a little. Her words contained a bit of soul-taking meaning, allowing the people shocked by Xiangliu to recover.

Everyone came back to their senses.

While shocked that such a terrifying existence as Xiangliu was hidden in this immortal mountain, they also chose to follow Lady Yan’s words and hurriedly retreated to the distance.

Su Xuan could fight such a big prehistoric beast, that was because Su Xuan was very powerful, which did not mean they could too.

Just by looking, they knew that the poisonous liquid sprayed by this big snake was not simple. I am afraid that ordinary people would die immediately if they touched a little bit.

Everyone retreated to the distance, staying away from the battle circle between Su Xuan and Xiangliu as much as possible.

In this process, Lady Yan also constantly recalled the knowledge she had learned.

Combined with the "Mountain and Sea World" in Gan Jiang Gan Jiang Taigong’s message, she also guessed the identity of this big snake, "This big snake is probably the legendary Xiangliu!"

"It’s actually it?"

"Why would it appear here?"

"In the legend, didn't it already die?"

Not many people knew about Xiangliu, but there were not a few either. After all, a few people remembered the legend about it.

Lady Yan listened to everyone’s questions, but she did not answer because she could not answer this question.

Everyone escaped very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they retreated to the edge of the island.

Looking at the battle between Su Xuan and Xiangliu from afar.

Everyone couldn't help but feel worried.

Even though some Mohist and Yin-Yang School members had inappropriate thoughts when they saw the spring water and the strange flowers and fruits earlier, at this moment, after seeing Xiangliu’s true face and knowing the truth, they still worried about Su Xuan.

At the same time, they couldn't help but feel guilty.

Earlier, it was they who blamed Su Xuan wrongly.

At the same time, they were also shocked by the real Mountain and Sea world.

The Mountain and Sea world is truly terrifying!
