Chapter 340 Cold-blooded Serpent Beastman

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively realized something was wrong. She asked, "Why...why are there sacrifices?"

Yun Qinglan said in a low voice, "It is said that there is a river god in the south who awakens once every hundred years. Every hundred years, a female must be sacrificed as an offering. If no sacrifice is made, the river will flood and cause disaster."

"And this offering can only come from the Biyue tribe; female offerings from other tribes are useless."

"Of course, this is just a rumor, and nobody knows the truth."

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao's face turned pale.

Offerings?
"Therefore, every hundred years, a female from the Biyue tribe must be sacrificed."

"No wonder."

Yun Qinglan asked, "No wonder what?"

Su Muyao murmured, "No wonder the young master of the Biyue Tribe wouldn't let me go to the Biyue Tribe."

Now, when she thinks of Bi Zhixu, she remembers how his eyes trembled when he heard her name, but he concealed his emotions and deliberately didn't let her notice.

She saved him and said she wanted to go to the Biyue Tribe, but he said he couldn't take her there and that it would be better if they didn't go.

At the time, she thought he was unwilling to take her.

It now appears there's more to the story than meets the eye.

Yun Qinglan was also somewhat surprised, "Why do you want to go to the Biyue Tribe?"

"Nowadays, the rivers in the south often overflow, and dangers occur from time to time. Even orcs who can swim can lose their lives in the turbulent river eddies."

As she said this, Yun Qinglan looked at Su Muyao nervously, fearing that she was going to the dangerous southern region.

Not to mention the Biyue tribe, which is the oldest tribe, where tradition and danger coexist.

"Actually, the Biyue Tribe is somewhat similar to the Xuanyuan Tribe. The Biyue Tribe rarely allows other beastmen to enter the tribe."

"They are just stricter. Even if a male or female joins their tribe, they will undergo a rigorous screening. They have an ancient and mysterious set of inspection methods, so the enforcers of the Temple of Light cannot infiltrate the Blue Water Tribe."

After Yun Qinglan arrived on the Azure Beast Continent, the elders gave him a brief explanation of the situation of the top tribes.

Therefore, he knows more about it.

Su Muyao explained, "Because my mother may have come from the Biyue tribe."

"I want to go to the Bishui tribe to find my mother."

Yun Qinglan was extremely surprised to hear these words. Thinking of some legends about the Biyue tribe, he felt a vague unease in his heart for some reason.

"Yaoyao, don't go to the Biyue Tribe yet. The situation is unclear right now, and you might be in danger if you go. I'll arrange for some people from the tribe to go and find out what's going on there."

Su Muyao nodded and said, "Okay."

Given the danger, she would not act rashly.

"Yaoyao, do you know what your mother's name is?"

“I remember my father once said that my name is Ji Shui.”

Upon hearing this name, Yun Qinglan's face turned pale instantly.

Seeing Yun Qinglan's expression, Su Muyao realized something was wrong. "Brother Yun, you've heard of my mother's name."

Yun Qinglan pointed to the ancient book with her finger and said in a hoarse voice, "You'll see for yourself when you see it."

Su Muyao quickly opened the ancient book and read it. Many things were the same as what Yun Qinglan had said.

She saw a key page and looked at it carefully: "A thousand years ago, there was no such thing as offerings. The river god protected the southern region, and the weather was good. There was no such thing as offerings. But a thousand years ago, a great flood broke out. The river god's messenger asked the Biyue tribe to offer their holy maiden as a sacrifice. The holy maiden had to be offered every hundred years."

"Originally, the responsibility of the holy maiden of the Biyue tribe was to protect Yaochi. Later, the holy maiden became a sacrifice. These holy maidens did not have their own unique names. On the day they were chosen as holy maidens, they were called Jishui."

"Since the offering of sacrifices, the river has stopped overflowing..."

Upon seeing this, Su Muyao's fingers trembled, and she could barely hold the ancient book.

"My mother...could my mother have been sacrificed?" Could her mother be dead?

Su Muyao was in a state of confusion and could not accept this possibility at all.

A look of heartache flashed in Yun Qinglan's eyes. He reached out and hugged Su Muyao, gently stroking her hair, and said, "Don't worry, your mother shouldn't have become a sacrifice. Otherwise, if she had been sacrificed, the river wouldn't have flooded for the past twenty years."

Yun Qinglan's gentle breath soothed her, and Su Muyao gradually calmed down.

As if remembering something, she asked, "Have you heard any news about my father?"

Yun Qinglan knew her father's name.

He shook his head and said, "No, but I sent people to investigate your father the day I arrived, and we still haven't found any clues."

After reviewing the ancient texts of the Biyue tribe and gaining some understanding, Su Muyao continued searching for more information.

She saw a record about the Golden Crow Beast.

As Yun Qinglan looked at the exhibit, she explained, "The Golden Crow Bird Beast Tribe was wiped out overnight more than fifty years ago."

"The Golden Crow Beastmen are Sun Bird Beasts, the most worshipped birds and beasts among the beastmen. The Sun Bird Beast tribe is also highly prestigious on the Azure Beast Continent because in primitive society, fire was a blessing from divine beasts and a symbol of everyone's faith. Only the Sun Bird Beastmen can easily awaken fire-type abilities, and not just ordinary fire. The True Sun Fire they possess can suppress evil and dark auras."

“In the past, when various tribes held sacrificial ceremonies, they needed to ask the people of the Sun Bird Beast Tribe to light the sacred fire with the true fire of the sun.”

"Now that there are no more Sunbird Beastmen and very few Fire-type Ability Users, everyone uses tinderboxes to start fires."

But Yun Qinglan knew that Hua Linye possessed fire-type superpowers.

Su Muyao said, "The Sunbird Beast Tribe was also destroyed by the Temple of Light."

"I saw those scenes in my dreams."

"By the way, any news from the Fire Fox Clan?"

Yun Qinglan truthfully told her what she knew: "The young chieftain of the Fire Fox Clan married the leader of the Sun Bird Beast Tribe as a beast husband. They died together, and the Fire Fox Clan then quietly withdrew from the world. There is no news of the Fire Fox Clan now."

Su Muyao looked through the records but found no information about the Fire Fox Clan.

"Does the Green Bamboo Serpent Clan have them?"

Su Muyao had no idea about Wen Nanxi's background; he just appeared out of nowhere.

The father's trust in Wen Nanxi so much when he brought him back was indeed for a reason.

Yun Qinglan knew that Wen Nanxi was the most unique in Su Muyao's heart. He was her first beast husband. He shook his head and sighed, "There are no top-notch snake beast tribes on the Azure Beast Continent. Most of the snake beastmen are just wandering snake beastmen."

"On the Azure Beast Continent, snake beastmen are cold-blooded beastmen, disliked and hated by other beastmen."

"They were originally classified as venomous snakes and insects."

"On the Azure Beast Continent, the beastmen despise the snake beastmen. Females from other races are unwilling to marry snake beastmen because they believe that snake beastmen are inherently cold-blooded and ruthless."

Hearing this, Su Muyao frowned deeply.

She communicated with the system telepathically: "System, what is Wen Nanxi's current situation? Can you detect it?"

"All I know is that he is alive. If something happens to him, as your beast husband, I, as the system, can sense it, but I can't sense anything. He should be fine."

Seeing Su Muyao's worried expression, Yun Qinglan understood what was going on. "Don't worry, I will ask the clansmen to help find them."

"Brother Yun, thank you for your hard work."

"I can only ask you for help right now."

As for Nalan Guixue, she sighed inwardly.

I always felt that there was something invisible standing between them.

We can't expect Nalan Guixue to get help from the Nalan clan.

Fortunately, Yun Qinglan was able to help her find someone.
