Chapter 47 : The Thousand-Legged Centipede Spirit (6)
"Come on, get on my shoulder again," Zhang Fengxi beckoned at Xie Jianyu. "We need to keep trying."
Xie Jianyu pulled a grimace when he moved his wounded leg. By chance, his eyes were drawn to something on the ground.
"Wait, why is the ground wet?" he asked.
"Eh?"
Zhang Fengxi burned another fire talisman and checked the ground. It was not only wet. The lowest level had been filled with water, making it look like there was a little pond in the cavity. The ground beneath Zhang Fengxi's boots had turned into mud.
The centipede spirit's carcass was slowly surrounded by water.
"Wait a moment."
Zhang Fengxi used the fire talisman to look around, trying to find the water source. He found a stream of water flowing from above, running slowly past the rocky wall and filling the empty space beneath.
The young alpha quickly turned pale when the realization kicked in.
Now he remembered.
There was a water source and a waterfall close to the mountain range. The huge amount of water was kept at bay by a huge dam. In his last life, the giant centipede spirit's movement did cause the dam to break, but thankfully the water did not end up flooding the human villages.
