Chapter 1255
Blood River King stood at the tallest rampart of the castle, overlooking the river .
The Blood River ran fast, and the banks sometimes burst, but flooding had never been this bad before . Much of the shelter had been submerged .
"My King, does the river always behave this way?" Yaksha asked, as he approached and also looked out over the river .
There had been no rain, so it was a most peculiar phenomenon, witnessing the river flow at an increased pace and volume to such a degree .
Blood River King shook his head and confirmed, "I have been here for fifty thousand years . Never once have I seen the river behave this way . But . . . "
"But what?" Yaksha asked .
Blood River King explained, "Before I first arrived here, a berserk super creature roamed beneath the waters of the Blood River . He was the leader of this place, and it was said that whenever he desired to eat, the river would flood and allow it to swim above land to eat its fill . When its hunger was satiated, the waters of the river would quell . "
"And where is this beast now?" Yaksha asked .
"It went to the Fourth God's Sanctuary . That . . . was a long time ago . Truth be told, I wouldn't be here, had it not been for its ascension . I was fortunate enough to enter these lands after it had moved on," Blood River King admitted .
"Weird . If it rises randomly like this, something ill must be afoot . Do you know if the creature had any kids?" Yaksha wondered .
"Not to my knowledge, but it is not out of the question . Perhaps we can search for it," Blood River King summoned the tentacle monster, bidding it to go out and look for another possible creature in the waters .
After some time had elapsed, there had been no reports of such a creature existing . Nothing had been found, and the mystery of the rising river saw no elucidation .
The river now submerged Han Sen's cave entirely, but strangely, no water entered the stone pocket .
Han Sen looked all around him before recentering his vision on the jue . After drinking the wine, Han Sen's body was dotted with peculiar symbols that were on fire .
The fires eventually departed his body, floating through the air towards the jue . Then, Han Sen's body returned to normal .
The jue for the wine was now like a lit oil lantern .
But the flames within did not illuminate the cavern, and a greater darkness intruded . Beyond three feet in front of him, he could not see a thing .
Han Sen held Bao'er and checked himself for any further changes . Aside from his own lifeforce appearing a little weaker, there did not seem to be any alarming changes .
The jue suddenly moved in another direction .
