C475 The Man-eating River Beast
Seeing this, everyone on the merchant ship was stunned.
"What was that!?"
Those who had never seen such a scene shouted and asked.
Those who had never seen such a scene before were basically cultivators who had come here for the first time and merchants who had come to the Silk Road for the first time.
This was the first time Zhou Hao, Qing, and Doug had seen such a scene, but they were not surprised by it.
In terms of eating meat and blood, was there anyone who could compare to someone who had come out of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain like them?
However, Zhou Hao was still curious about what it was.
A portion of Old Merchant who often walked this Silk Road said, "That's' piranhas'. Seeing these piranhas means that we have entered the most dangerous part of the Crouching Dragon River."
A cultivator asked, "How dangerous?"
The merchants didn't rush to answer. Instead, they came to the top of the deck and offered a joss stick to comfort the gods before saying, "In this part of the river, there is a man-eating River Beast!"
"A man-eating River Beast?"
"That's right!"
"Hiss ~"
All the merchants gasped, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.
The merchants continued, "There weren't any large River Beast here before. At most, there were piranhas, but piranhas wouldn't attack merchant ships. After the large River Beast appeared, they attacked merchant ships that passed by!"
Someone asked, "When did this happen?"
The merchant replied, "It started after the chaotic times."
Hiss ~
Everyone once again sucked in a breath of cold air.
Although they didn't know what this had to do with the chaotic world, they still felt a faint sense of unease.
Another person asked, "Then has there been a record of a merchant ship being destroyed by a Great River Beast before?"
This time, Old Merchant did not answer, but looked at the river in front of him.
Everyone followed him and looked over.
They saw that the surface of the river, which was shaking with the night sky, was reflected by the light of the night. The water of the river was sparkling, reflecting the light of the night.
It was this little bit of night sky that allowed the people on the merchant ship to see some vague things on the surface of the river in the distance.
Because it was too far away, for the time being, they could only vaguely see that on the surface of the river in the distance, there seemed to be a pile of wood scattered on the surface of the river.
"Is that the forest that grows in the river?" Another person muttered.
Obviously, no one answered his question.
As the merchant ship got closer and closer to the river, everyone could clearly see what was on the surface of the river.
"This is...!"
When everyone saw what it was, they were instantly shocked.
It was the corpses of the merchant ships!
They did not know what they had experienced, but it looked like they had been smashed into pieces. They had collapsed to the ground and were forever stuck on the surface of the river.
After the merchant ships entered this area, the three merchant ships slowed down. They were very, very slow, as if they were afraid of alarming something terrifying...
Old Merchant stood on the deck and let out a breath. He said in a low voice, "Those are the ships that were destroyed by the Great River Beast..."
"This..." The people on the deck of the merchant ships immediately fell into a state of shock. The expression on their faces was so exaggerated that it was as if they had already seen the terrifying man-eating River Beast!
"Those River Beast, are they so fierce?! ”
Some cultivators hesitated and asked, "Boss, are these River Beast powerful, or are those Pirates of River just now powerful?"
Old Merchant did not hesitate and replied," Of course, the River Beast is powerful! "
Another merchant added, "Those Pirates of River added together are not even enough to eat one River Beast!"
Just as he finished speaking, another merchant said with a heavy expression, "Even cultivators eat the River Beast here, and ordinary cultivators can't deal with them. If I remember correctly, the River Beast here seems to have eaten a lot of Earth Spirit Stage cultivators!"
"No!" Another merchant decisively interrupted him and said, "You remembered wrongly, it should be Celestial Spirit Stage!"
"Heaven... Celestial Spirit Stage?!"
The group of cultivators were so scared that their jaws almost dropped to the deck.
Even Zhou Hao was shocked.
What kind of monster was that? It could actually eat a Celestial Spirit Stage warrior!
How powerful were Celestial Spirit Stage warriors?
Zhou Hao looked at him. He was now a Celestial Spirit Stage warrior. Although he was a level higher than the other Celestial Spirit Stage warriors, he was still a level higher than the other Celestial Spirit Stage warriors.
The cultivation base of this group of warriors was far from reaching the Celestial Spirit Stage, which was why they were trembling in fear.
A cultivator asked the merchant, "Are you sure you remember correctly? Did the River Beast really eat a Celestial Spirit Stage cultivator?"
The merchant replied, "Yes, that's right."
One of Old Merchant recalled the widely spread story and said, "I remember that it was the fleet of the Eastern Region's Divine Dragon Empire's Western King Zhen. In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, Western King Zhen brought the goods back. He had specially invited a Celestial Spirit Stage expert to the scene, but he didn't expect to encounter a Great River Beast on this section of the river road. He was attacked by the Great River Beast! "
"That Celestial Spirit Stage warrior attacked the River Beast and killed it with great effort. However, he attracted a large group of River Beast to surround and kill it. That warrior used all his strength to fight the River Beast. In the end, he was still unable to withstand the energy and was eaten by the River Beast... "
After Old Merchant finished telling the story, he let out a long sigh. He was somewhat unable to control himself.
"That is the fleet of the Western King. It was actually shattered by the River Beast!"
Old Merchant said, "Do you still suspect that the Western King couldn't order a Celestial Spirit Stage warrior?"
The group of cultivators nodded and believed this fact.
After listening to this story, they became even more uncertain.
They were even regretting why they thought they were clever back then and wanted to go to the Northern Sea's Seven Continent to find the Celestial Man's corpse. Now, it was truly too late for regrets!
If even a Celestial Spirit Stage cultivator was killed here, then what should they do, this group of cultivators who were still a long way from reaching the Celestial Spirit Stage?
If they encountered the Great River Beast, wouldn't it be a ready-made snack?!0
A few cultivators still thought that those merchants were lying, so they asked, "Since there is such a dangerous River Beast here, why would an ordinary mortal like you dare to come here?"
When those merchants heard this question, they let out a long sigh, seeming very helpless.
They said: "Because we are merchants, and we rely on traveling everywhere to live. If we don't come this time, we won't be able to eat, and our family's elders and children will starve!"
"Hehe ~" They smiled helplessly and said, "Compared to the current world, what kind of danger is River Beast?"
Another businessman said, "Yeah. At worst, we'll just let the River Beast eat it in one bite, and then we'll die a quick death. But if we're tortured to death bit by bit by this world, then we really can't live. We can't even beg to die!"
