I will teach you how to cultivate immortality

Chapter 287 Gods of the South Sea (33)

Li Boyang ultimately failed to find suitable incantations or talismans to use on the gold and silver gourds.

Before that, Golden Horn had already returned to the Mountain God Temple with the Kingfisher and the Blue Crane.

The sun had not yet set, but the afterglow of the sunset could be faintly seen.

"Is this the work of that Ling Gu Zi?"

Upon immediately spotting the blue crane behind the kingfisher, Xi Luo asked with slight surprise.

Xi Luo could not possibly be unaware of Ling Gu Zi from Bronze Island.

She just didn't expect that the other party would actually save someone.

A living skeleton, born from the bones of the Xuanhui, existing between life and death.

Xi Luo only knew that Ling Gu Zi was researching medicine, but she never expected that he was researching such a bizarre medical path.

However, considering that the other party had learned about perfect medical techniques from Li Boyang, it seemed to be a matter of course.

"Yes, Yunmengze is truly producing a wealth of talented people these days!"

Although still unconscious, the kingfisher was fairly certain that the blue crane was out of danger.

Li Boyang, who took the initiative to check, made the same judgment.

"The wound has been stitched up, the missing organs have been replaced, and even the least affected bones have been fitted with prosthetics..."

"If Ling Gu Zi hadn't intervened, she might not have been able to save her from these injuries."

"But what I'm most curious about now is how she got these injuries?"

The injuries are so severe that they completely eliminate the possibility of natural injuries.

Li Boyang even suspected that someone had tortured her to extract a confession, continuously force-feeding her water, otherwise how could her lungs have ruptured?

"She must be your priestess, right?"

Noticing Li Boyang's gaze, the kingfisher nodded in reply.

“That’s right, she is my high priestess, from the southernmost part of the Hundred Mountains.”

"In fact, this is another reason why I came to find you."

"The southern coast of the Hyakuchi Mountains has been submerged by the sea, and a flood more terrible than the flood itself is forming."

"In order to allow his people to retreat into the Hundred Mountains, Qinghe led a group of elites to try to ambush the sea gods and sea monsters that had not yet come ashore."

Taking a deep breath, the kingfisher said sadly.

"And then, as you can see..."

"If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have been devoured by several sea monsters."

Although they had long been aware that seawater was flowing inland, and had observed the direction of the water flow along the southern coast through the "Map of Mountains and Rivers".

But Li Boyang never expected that this disaster would spread so quickly.

"So, you want us to step in and stop this flood?"

Before Li Boyang could speak, Xi Luo immediately revealed the purpose of the kingfisher's visit.

"If I remember correctly, the southern coast of the Momochi Mountains is closer to Grandma, right?"

"From any perspective, shouldn't this be your responsibility?"

Xi Luo's words were blunt, but also very true.

During the last battle against the flood instigated by Wuzhiqi, some of the gods of the Hundred Lands, led by the Immortal Spring God, chose to stand by and watch.

The current flood is coming from the south; it is a terrible natural disaster caused by seawater backflow.

It should have been the immortal Spring God who went to stop it.

At least, before most of the Bai Di Mountains were swallowed by the sea, the Yunmeng Marsh on the north side was not in much danger.

"Stop making fun of me..."

Having spent nearly a thousand years with Xi Luo, how could the kingfisher not hear the reproach in her words?

"Don't you know what kind of monsters the gods of these Hundred Mountains are?"

"Although Grandma has protected them, that's all she has to do." "If these guys were really forced to fight to the death against those calamity gods and evil spirits from the ocean, they would rather abandon their territory and go far away."

With a helpless sigh, the kingfisher continued to add.

"Besides, although Grandma didn't personally intervene last time, didn't I?"

"And what about that Eclipse Lord? Didn't Grandma eventually acquiesce to you letting him go?"

The kingfisher is right about that; although she didn't personally participate in the battle.

However, Li Boyang was ultimately able to dispel the clouds and rain from the mountains and transform the former Yunmeng Mountain into the present-day Yunmeng Marsh, which was indeed inseparable from the help of the kingfisher.

"We didn't say we wouldn't help you; I understand the principle of mutual dependence."

Li Boyang stopped Xi Luo, who was about to continue arguing with the kingfisher, and quickly steered the conversation back on track.

"The question now is, how much do you actually know about the situation in the South China Sea?"

Staring intently at the kingfisher, Li Boyang narrowed his eyes and asked this question.

There's not much to worry about with ordinary seawater intrusion.

But the question is, what exactly are those sea gods and sea monsters that follow?
It's similar to the situation on Earth in the previous life.

The ocean area in this world is also more than twice the area of ​​the land.

In addition, the ocean's depth resulted in a far greater number of creatures and deities being born there than on land.

Li Boyang's fleeting glimpse six months ago revealed the presence of many creatures that, though dead, still linger in the ocean, highlighting their danger.

Moreover, Li Boyang is not like an ignorant kingfisher.

He knew the whole truth about "Wu Yi shooting down the heavens" and also knew about Wu Yi's hunting down of the gods.

So the question is, what exactly happened in the South China Sea?
Why did Wu Yi not completely destroy the gods of the South Sea, but instead provoke them to become even more violent?
Those gods of the South China Sea simply wanted to escape the chaotic and turbulent environment, which is why they set their sights on the Hundred Mountains.
Or is there more to this than meets the eye? Who is secretly orchestrating this flood's spread behind the scenes?
There is too much missing information. Even with the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor, it would be difficult for Li Boyang to see the whole picture in a short time.

"We don't know much about the situation in the South China Sea either, otherwise we wouldn't have been caught off guard like this."

The kingfisher looked directly into Li Boyang's eyes and spoke without flinching.

"You should be able to tell that I'm not lying."

"We don't actually know much more about the South China Sea than you do."

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang did not press the matter further.

He believed that the kingfisher would not hide anything from him on such a matter.

"That would be a huge problem, as we don't even know who our enemy is."

When Li Boyang faced Wuzhiqi last time, he at least knew who his enemy was, what his goal was, and how to achieve it.

In contrast, this time, apart from knowing that the enemy is a sea god and sea monster from the South China Sea, there doesn't seem to be much more useful information.

No, perhaps it's not a matter of complete ignorance.

Suddenly turning his head to look at the unconscious Qinghe again, Li Boyang snapped his fingers thoughtfully.

The next second, the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor appeared out of thin air in his hand.

"Besides sending you to me for help, has your grandmother already started mobilizing the gods of the south?"

The kingfisher nodded affirmatively and said in a low voice.

"To be precise, Grandma has already notified all the gods who are willing to stay."

"During the time I've been talking to you, I estimate that many gods have already officially begun their battles against the South China Sea God and the sea monsters."

"However, as I said before, the vast majority of them are not capable of fighting to the death."

"They were only testing the waters out of respect for Grandma..."

"Once they realize that this disaster is unstoppable, they will flee these mountains and valleys immediately."

After confirming that what the kingfisher said was true, Li Boyang looked at the Heavenly Fate Bone Armor facing up in his hand and murmured.

"The situation doesn't seem to have reached its worst point yet?"
