Chapter 315.4: The Person At the Bottom of the Lake
And the posture of that huge beast was also very strange.
Most beasts usually had four legs on the ground, quadrupeds who moved by crawling. Even when they have reached a certain level and were able to assume human form, they would still crawl on all fours when in their original forms.
But for this enormous beast, it stood straight and erect, biped on its own two feet.
Moreover, although its countenance was menacing and terrifying, with strange looking horns on its head and a tough scaled tail at its back like people from the dragon race, the beast had human arms and legs, hence its form could be considered to be one of the most valiant and magnificent looking among beasts.
Qing Yu was enchanted by the enormous beast for a moment. What’s more, the eyes of the gargantuan beast….. were violet in colour.
Something immediately came to her mind but she was somehow unable to link the thought with the sight before her.
Until…..
The little toddler swam over to it out of curiosity, and circled around the enormous beast several times.
He then noticed that the enormous beast was carrying an iron sword that was spotted with rust in its hand, and he stretched a hand out to touch it tentatively. His courage seemed to grow over time and he actually went ahead to try to pull the sword out.
At that moment, something incredible happened.
The water surrounding the humongous beast who had laid silent and dormant at the bottom of the lake suddenly surged strongly, stirring up violently, which churned up a ferocious and tyrannical vortex, threatening to swallow everything up.
The entire bed at the bottom of the lake began to tremble and shake, and the clear and crystalline water turned muddy.
“You idiot!” Zang Mai’s handsome face was grim as he cursed, quickly pulling down the little toddler who was stunned into a frozen daze.
Their bodies wary and senses on high alert to face the impending danger, a strong bright burst of light suddenly lit up right before their eyes, so blinding they could not even open their eyes, unable to do anything but to keep them tightly shut.
After that blinding flash of light passed, calm returned to the bottom of the lake once more, and the danger they expected did not come to pass.
Qing Yu slowly lowered the hand she had raised up to shield her eyes. What she saw immediately caused her to stand there in a daze and stare.
Where was the massive figure of that menacing beast?
Only the tall well built figure of a man with his captivatingly good looking countenance could be seen standing quietly in place of the enormous beast, the long sword that shone with a cold chilling glint in his hand embedded deep into the floor of the lake’s bottom, unmoving as his eyes gazed straight ahead.
Upon his otherwise spotless white shirt, was a blood stained hole that did not seem like he was wounded too long ago, as the colour of the blood still looked fresh.
But Qing Yu knew that this man has been dead for a very very long time, and it was not known how many rounds the moon had risen and set since.
Yes, from the moment she saw this massive beast just now, a strange feeling had risen in her heart, a great sense of familiarity, as if….. she had heard of this person, and came to know him through someone’s lips.
