One yellow bird was already difficult to deal with, let alone Li Yao, who made it tremble with fear.
It made a decisive move, immediately turning its huge snake head around and fleeing in panic, just like it had five years ago.
"Trying to run? No way!"
Li Yao smiled.
Five years ago, the Blackwater Serpent used its advantageous terrain to escape through the Merciless Sea.
Now, surrounded by a desert with no water source, let's see where it can escape to.
"Little Huang, go after him!"
Li Yao pointed at the Blackwater Serpent and issued a command.
The yellow bird spread its huge wings, its sharp beak and piercing eyes, and its claws were even sharper and bigger. It flew quickly and chased after the Black Water Serpent, launching attack after attack on the Black Water Serpent with its sharp beak and huge claws.
At this moment, the Blackwater Serpent had lost its will to fight and only wanted to escape as quickly as possible.
Therefore, it is already in a passive and defensive situation.
The once mighty Blackwater Serpent was now covered in wounds.
The enormous body, which was originally as invincible as a demon god, was now covered with huge, shocking wounds, from which dark red blood flowed incessantly.
"Resistance is useless; just submit obediently!"
"If you submit, I will spare your life!"
Li Yao shouted.
This Blackwater Serpent is an unruly and ancient beast. Although it is no match for Huang Niao and Li Yao, it is unwilling to bow down to humans.
Therefore, it ignored Li Yao's shouts and just kept running away.
"You're still not behaving yourself!"
"Little Yellow, teach it a lesson!"
Li Yao's face darkened.
Upon receiving the command, the yellow bird flapped its giant wings and swooped down towards the black water serpent like lightning.
The sharp, chilling giant claws mercilessly slashed at the Blackwater Serpent. The serpent's scales, as hard as iron, were torn open, leaving bloody gashes and raw, crimson flesh exposed—a horrifying sight.
The Blackwater Serpent let out a miserable cry, finally exhausted and with no strength left to escape.
At this moment, it felt very bitter.
It merely sensed the appearance of a rare treasure and wanted to seize the opportunity.
Unexpectedly, it encountered such a violent maniac who tortured it until it was no longer resembling a snake at all!
What incredibly bad luck!
"I told you long ago, there's no point in resisting!"
Li Yao moved swiftly, leaping onto the back of the Black Water Serpent and establishing a spiritual connection with it through the system.
"From this day forward, I will call you Little Black!"
Li Yao gave the Blackwater Serpent a name.
Upon hearing this, the Blackwater Serpent was immediately speechless, thinking to itself: Where am I small?
However, there was nothing it could do; after all, the other party had the stronger fist.
After subduing the Blackwater Serpent, Li Yao sent it directly into his spatial dimension.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that his space seemed to have become a zoo.
Little Fire, Little Gray, Little Yellow, Little Kui, Little Dragon, Little Black, Six-Tailed, Three-Tailed...
It looks like they're all animals!
Of course, they are not ordinary beasts, but very special spirit beasts.
Except for the six-tailed and three-tailed beasts, which did not communicate with him, the other beasts all communicated with him and became his exclusive beasts.
In that case, wouldn't he have become the zoo director?
Chapter 388 Purgatory
A once bustling town now reeks of a nauseating, burnt smell carried on the wind.
Everywhere in the streets and alleys, there were traces of ravages, as if a terrible war had taken place.
Many corpses lay on the ground, and their horrific expressions revealed the terror they had felt before their deaths.
The peaceful and prosperous atmosphere of the entire town has vanished.
Riding a yellow bird, Li Yao hovered low above the town, his heart heavy.
He also remembered passing through this bustling town on his way to the Southwest Death Swamp.
Now, however, it has become a hellish inferno.
What's going on?
"What exactly happened?"
Although Li Yao had encountered all sorts of bloody and tragic scenes, he had never seen so many ordinary people die so tragically.
Who on earth committed such a heinous crime!
He leaped off the yellow bird's back and carefully examined the wounds on the corpse.
He found these wounds strange, with traces of being bitten by wild animals and scratched by their claws.
Many of these wounds can be caused by ordinary wild animals.
"It's a beast demon!"
Li Yao quickly came to this conclusion.
However, beasts and demons are rarely seen in the Central Plains anymore, let alone a large city that has been turned into a dead city. There must be a large number of beasts and demons involved.
So, where did these beast demons come from?
"Could it be a beast demon from the southern border?"
Li Yao frowned.
He remembered that in the original story, the beast demons ravaged the Central Plains, which happened ten years later.
How could the beast demons of southern Xinjiang suddenly appear ahead of schedule?
"Could it be that the people of Burning Incense Valley resurrected the Beast God?"
The idea immediately popped into Li Yao's mind.
Only in the southern borderlands can there be a large number of beast demons.
These beast demons all obeyed the commands of the Beast God.
The beast demons of the Southern Frontier must pass through the Incense Valley to enter the Central Plains.
Moreover, Incense Valley has been planning a grand scheme that will last for a century.
This grand plan, spanning centuries, is inextricably linked to the Beast God.
The people of Burning Incense Valley know how to resurrect the Beast God.
Therefore, all things considered, it is highly likely that the Beast God has been resurrected and has led a large number of beast demons to invade the Central Plains.
As for why the people of Burning Incense Valley suddenly resurrected the Beast God, Li Yao still had no idea.
However, the Central Plains are suffering from an unprecedented catastrophe.
"Damn it, that damned Beast God!"
"And Incense Valley, they deserve to die the most!"
Li Yao's face darkened, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
He has always adhered to one principle.
As a member of the martial arts world, as a cultivator, dying at the hands of an enemy is only natural.
Because you chose the martial world and the path of cultivation, you should have known that you might die a violent death.
Whether in the martial arts world or the cultivation world, it is a world where the strong prey on the weak.
If you are not strong enough, you are very likely to be killed by the enemy.
Only when you are strong enough can you survive in a world where the strong prey on the weak and where deceit reigns supreme.
Therefore, Li Yao never sympathized with the deaths of these weak people.
However, he could not tolerate some martial arts practitioners and cultivators indiscriminately killing unarmed ordinary people.
Therefore, both the Beast God and the people of Burning Incense Valley are unforgivable!
"Fortunately, I set up a protective formation for Wushuang Mountain before I left."
"With the abilities of these beast demons, they shouldn't be able to break the mountain-protecting formation."
"I set up the mountain-protecting formation to guard against other sects secretly attacking the Peerless Sect, but now it has unexpectedly been used to resist the rampage of the beast demons."
Li Yao thought to himself with emotion.
"I wonder how Qingyun Sect and Tianyin Temple are doing now?"
"We should hurry back to the Peerless Sect and see what the situation is like now!"
Li Yao didn't linger any longer and rode the yellow bird directly towards Wushuang Mountain at top speed.
As he traveled, he discovered that many places bore the marks of being ravaged by beast demons.
It seems that the beast demons have been ravaging the Central Plains for quite some time now.
He regretted that after obtaining the Heavenly Tree in the Death Swamp, he should have returned in time instead of heading north to the desolate northwest.
In that case, he could eliminate the Beast God and the Beast Demon in time, and the Central Plains would suffer fewer calamities.
