Chapter 1599: Chapter 1421: Stormy Night in Jianghu
In the following days, Xia Dabao still focused on recuperating, but Bei Shan would occasionally come by. From Bei Shan, Xia Dabao learned that the giant creature nurtured by the Clan Chief had been transported to the lake, just waiting for the monster to appear.
Bei Shan said, “That giant creature is as tall as two houses, it’s terrifying. Even the kids who grew up playing with poisonous snakes in our village get faint at the sight of it.”
“Aren’t you scared?” Xia Dabao asked Bei Shan.
“I am scared, of course. It looks dreadful. However, the keeper of the creature should have a psychic connection with it. Xia Dabao, you should be able to sense the creature’s current state,” Bei Shan asked, puzzled.
“Stop teasing her. That creature is clearly raised by the Clan Chief, what does it have to do with Xia Dabao?” Hong Yan said.
“That’s true. I was hoping that when the creature got angry and prepared to attack the enemy, Xia Dabao could inform us,” Bei Shan said.
As soon as Bei Shan finished speaking, Hong Yan quietly said something to Xia Dabao. Upon hearing it, Xia Dabao immediately looked at Hong Yan excitedly.
She would soon be reunited with her parents.
…
One day, while Xia Dabao was still dreaming, she was suddenly awakened by a loud noise.
It seemed as though the earth itself had shuddered.
Xia Dabao quickly got up.
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: the Beast must have broken through the ground.
Sure enough, soon, she heard an uproar and shouting outside, “The monster has emerged, the monster has emerged! Everyone, please hide to avoid the monster rushing into the Palace and harming people!”
Later, Yun Xiao also arrived, and asked Xia Dabao if she wanted to go watch the fight. Xia Dabao certainly wanted to go, so Yun Xiao took her hand and they left.
Bei Shan and Hong Yan also came out, and they quickly reached the highest nearby hilltop where many people were already watching. Even Xuan Nu and the Goddess from the Moon Heart Tribe had arrived.
The two women had arrived early and made room for Yun Xiao to come and watch, but Yun Xiao instead pushed Xia Dabao in front. With no choice, they had to make room for Yun Xiao to squeeze in as well.
Xia Dabao soon saw two huge creatures fighting in the distance.
She remembered a story her mother had told her in childhood about a superhero fighting a monster, where the monsters were as tall as mountains, some breathing fire, others spraying water, and some shooting rays of light. Then, she would ask her mother what real monsters looked like, and her mother would occasionally draw them in the sand with a stick.
Now, the monster she saw from afar was just like the ones her mother had drawn.
Boy, it was massive. It probably never expected to encounter such a formidable creature right upon emerging, so it got agitated and started spewing fire and water. But the giant creature raised by the Clan Chief was not to be outdone and pinned the monster down firmly.
During the fight, the sky shattered, the lake surged, and the splashing water reached across several mountains.
Such a spectacle, Xia Dabao felt she would never forget in her lifetime.
It was unclear how long they fought, but the giant creature, presumably following the Clan Chief’s command, suddenly flew up and clung tightly to the monster. The giant creature emitted poisonous fluid, slowly corroding the monster. However, the giant creature was not gaining any advantage either, as it too was gradually shrinking.
In the end, the two massive beings merged into the lake waters, perishing together.
The onlookers around them discussed, “My goodness, the giant creature was indeed formidable. It’s a pity it perished together with the monster. Otherwise, the Witch King would surely have declared it a hero, right?”
