Chapter 491: A Misuse Of Talents

“Boom...”

Waves rose into the sky, but they were extremely strange because after taking a turn in the air, they turned into a gigantic water arrow, which attacked the stockaded village’s main entrance.

The people here had lived by the water for a long time and seemed to be used to this already. It was worth noting that the main entrance and the fences around were made from large bamboos, which could not be compared with ordinary bamboos at all. Black grooves could be seen on them, and they created a creepy and fearsome atmosphere.

Even as the water arrow hit the bamboos, they only shook a little without showing signs of crumbling at all.

On top of that, the people in the village were incredibly fierce as they carried bamboo spears and mercilessly launched attacks at the water. They had superb visions and were exceptionally strong hence after every attack, a big fish or other aquatics would float on the water. Needless to say, a dart of a few meters long could be found on each of the creatures.

Nonetheless, there were so many aquatics that they seemed to be endless. As another wave emerged, it turned into another gigantic water arrow and attacked the stockaded village.

Just as everyone thought the Aquatics would return without accomplishing anything again this time, a black figure suddenly appeared in the wave.

It was a black water snake with a long and winding body. Accompanied by the enormous impact, it ruthlessly crushed the village’s entrance.

A deafening sound was heard as the gate finally could not withstand the force and broke.

The gate was similar to everyone’s guardian angel, thus numerous people screamed in fear when it ruptured.

After the water snake twisted its body and landed hard on the crushed gate, it curled up its body and hissed horrifyingly. Following that, the river water surged and flowed backwards into the stockaded village. It was evident that the snake was a formidable half-spirit beast capable of controlling water.

Half-spirit beasts were separated into different levels.

Those that were only of Yang Grade were not mighty, but those that were great ancestors possessed extraordinary powers.

The water snake that smashed the village’s gate turned out to be a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast, which also had great mental power to control waves.

Faced with such a ferocious beast, the little village did not seem to have the ability to resist it at all.

Countless shrieks were heard coming from the stockaded village, and the people sounded hopeless.

Ou Yangming furrowed his eyebrows and gently tapped the goshawk. The spirit bird understood him right away, so it spread its wings and swooped down at the speed of light. It was so fast that it seemed to have really turned into a lightning bolt, and it arrived above the village in the blink of an eye.

The water snake seemed to have sensed the crisis, and it reacted swiftly by getting away from the village’s gate, then it returned to the waves.

Nevertheless, just as the water snake entered the water, the goshawk seized its body with its sharp claws. The snake was in immense pain, but it lifted its triangular head abruptly, and its mouth and belly were puffed up as though it was about to spit poisonous liquid.

However, before the water snake knew it, the goshawk had lowered its huge head to peck it.

Unquestionably, how could a mere half-spirit beast withstand the goshawk’s attack? With that, the snake’s head snapped and was about to be detached from its body. On top of that, the poisonous liquid was stuck in its throat, and the liquid ended up flowing out from the gap, causing a sizzling sound to be heard as it burned the snake’s skin.

Even so, the goshawk did not bother about the poisonous liquid at all. Ou Yangming was rather dumbfounded.

He wondered how many poisonous things the goshawk had devoured to gain such a remarkable resistance against them. Although the water snake carried toxic poison, it could not harm the spirit bird at all.

Despite that, the snake creature was quite odd too. It could be considered a part of the Insects, but if it could swim in the water, it could also be a part of the Aquatics.

Once the water snake was executed, the billowing river water became tranquil again. The water level quickly subsided, and the ferocious beasts in the water retreated crazily as if they encountered a sworn enemy. As such, they vanished in a split second.

The goshawk floated proudly in the sky and simply ignored the remaining aquatics.

Given its identity and strength, killing a half-spirit beast was its limit. As for the other little creatures, it regarded them as nothing.

The people in the stockaded village were stupefied after witnessing the event. In particular, they were frightened when they saw the goshawk capture the water snake with its claws.

They could not afford to provoke the water snake, let alone a goshawk, whose background was unknown and killed the snake in one go.

“Boom, boom, boom...”

Far away, earth-shattering sounds were heard, and the ground shook as well.

Subsequently, a mountainous king kong ran toward the village at lightning speed.

Everyone in the stockaded village turned pale, and they did not think about escaping at all. This was because they knew they could not get away at all if the two giant beasts wanted to harm them.

Multi-armed King Kong was so fast that it arrived below the goshawk after taking a few jumps.

When the king kong saw the mess and looked up at the dead but struggling water snake in the goshawk’s claw, it was enraged. It lifted its head and let out a thunderous roar, which spread far and wide and caused ripples to form on the water.

‘I’m late again!’

Ever since the goshawk submitted itself to its master, Multi-armed King Kong had always been late no matter how hard it tried. Its rage toward the goshawk had arrived at a limit, but it dared not rip the spirit bird apart as long as Ou Yangming and the little red bird were present.

The goshawk rolled its eyes at Multi-armed King Kong. It would have attacked the king kong first if it was not because it knew it could not defeat it.

On the other hand, the people in the village lost balance and fell to the ground when they heard Multi-armed King Kong’s furious roar. In fact, some of them even passed out.

They knew they were fraught with grim possibilities when they faced the Aquatics’ attacks, but they still fought courageously. That said, they lost confidence against the humongous Multi-armed King Kong.

Ou Yangming shook his head and thought, ‘It’s a misuse of talents to go against the insignificant Aquatics with this line-up.’

He channeled the essential Qi in his dantian and uttered all of a sudden, “Shut up!”

Multi-armed King Kong shut its widely-opened mouth right away, and it looked up worriedly.

Ever since Ou Yangming sent the little red bird into a birdcage, the king kong had been worshipping him as a deity.

Ou Yangming tapped the goshawk, which spread its wings and floated above the stockaded village.

Later on, he flashed and got off the goshawk with the birdcage in his hand. Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei looked at each other, and they immediately followed suit. As for Big Yellow, it shook its head and wagged its tail for some time before it hopped off without effort.

“Who’s the chief here? Please come forward to have a chat.”

The village fell silent, and everyone stared at Ou Yangming in disbelief. Even if they racked their brains, they would have never imagined why one... No, three people and a dog hopped off the goshawk’s back. Besides, the leading young man was also carrying a big birdcage like a fop.

Not to mention the people from the village with limited knowledge, even the most powerful Supreme Great Ancestor among the Humans would not believe this unless he or she witnessed it.

Ou Yangming was slightly infuriated. “Who’s the chief? Please come forward for a chat!”

“Roar...”

Multi-armed King Kong stood behind Ou Yangming and roared without warning to boost his morale.

“Thus...”

A row of people suddenly collapsed to the ground in front of Ou Yangming as they passed out due after being terrified by the king kong.

Multi-armed King Kong blinked as though it knew it made a mistake. It bent its body backward a little and shut its mouth.

Ou Yangming sighed helplessly and softened his tone. “Everyone, there’s no need to panic at all; I’m a real human.”

His voice was far less valiant than the king kong’s but it naturally sounded overwhelming. It spread far and wide and calmed everyone down, so much so that even the people that fainted awoke and looked at the surroundings in a daze. Having said that, a few of them passed out again after seeing the king kong.

Ou Yangming twitched his mouth. It was not that the Humans were useless, but Multi-armed King Kong looked too ferocious.

The little red bird glanced at Ou Yangming. It was clear that he adopted the Birds’ unique Soundwave Technique earlier, but he was not too familiar with it. Upon noticing this, the little bird decided to supervise the young fellow strictly the next time it used its spiritual world, and it was determined to make him grasp the technique well.

Being a part of the Phoenixes, Ou Yangming would be such an embarrassment if he could not control the basic wonders of the Birds’ Soundwave Technique as he wished.

A burly man went forward hesitantly and fell to his knees in front of Ou Yangming. “Sir, I’m Pu Wen—the chief. Thanks for your saving grace, sir.”

Ou Yangming nodded and asked, “This is Canghai County, right?”

“Yes, sir.” Pu Wen dared not look up at all, but he answered the young fellow with respect.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m only going to ask you some questions.” Ou Yangming tried to be as friendly as he could. “How long have the Aquatics invaded you? What’s the situation in the county?”

Pu Wen was stunned, but he quickly answered, “Sir, the Aquatics have invaded for half a year, but they became more rampant since a month ago. Most of the water villages are empty now because the majority of the people have gone to the mountains.”

“The mountains? Why don’t you go there too?” Jiang Jiumei asked in shock.

Pu Wen was startled for a while before he explained with a bitter smile, “Madam, there are many people in our village. If all of us head to the mountain, won’t we starve to death?”

Ou Yangming waved his hand and noted softly, “Jiumei, the environment is different for every place, so they can’t be mentioned on equal terms. The people from Canghai County live by the water and source their food from the water. In fact, even their paddy fields need to be nourished by plenty of water, so they can’t all move to the mountain.

Jiang Jiumei nodded and smiled apologetically as she came to a sudden realization.

Afterward, Ou Yangming turned around and cut to the chase, “How’s Canghai City doing now?”

Pu Wen answered after some thought, “A month ago, there was news from the city that an Almighty Being arrived and protected the city, but I’m not sure about now.”
