#23 - Chapter 23: The Young Man Returns from the Swallowing River
"Hey, buddy, did you know that a River Devouring Toad suddenly appeared outside the village?"
Inside a tavern, several patrons were chatting at a table.
"Really? That River Devouring Toad is a Rank five Gu worm. How could it come to Qing Mao Mountain? If it goes crazy, our entire village will be done for."
"Who says it isn't? Sigh, first beast tides, then a River Devouring Toad. Every day is just filled with trouble."
"Alright, alright, Lord Gu Yue Chi Shan has already led a team over there. I wonder if they can drive it away."
At the foot of Qing Mao Mountain, inside a river, the River Devouring Toad, as large as a small mountain, was belly up, eyes tightly closed, and motionless. If it weren't for its constantly rising and falling belly, everyone would have thought it was dead.
Beside it, dozens of people, faces flushed red, were clenching their teeth, as if exerting all their strength.
But no matter how hard everyone tried, the River Devouring Toad seemed to be embedded in the river, and no amount of force could move it even a bit.
"Damn it!" Gu Yue Chi Shan, the leader, cursed angrily, "Why is this thing so heavy? So many people can't push it!"
His veins were bulging, his face was red, and his arms, as thick as buckets, were pressing down on the River Devouring Toad's body.
A Rank two Gu Master beside Gu Yue Chi Shan said with a tired face, "Brother Chi Shan, the brothers are all out of strength. I think we should take a break. We can't move this River Devouring Toad anytime soon."
Gu Yue Chi Shan glanced around, and many people had collapsed powerlessly. His face became even more gloomy, and he could only sigh helplessly, "Forget it! Let the brothers rest."
Afterward, everyone could only return to the shore, while Gu Yue Chi Shan looked at the still snoring River Devouring Toad with a worried expression.
"What should I do? My strength is already the greatest in the Gu Yue clan, but I can't push it even a bit. Could it be that I can only ask the Xiong Jia village for help, relying on the strength of the Xiong Jia village people..."
"Big brother, Brother Chi Shan!"
Just as Gu Yue Chi Shan was pondering, a shout interrupted him. He frowned and said with slight anger, "What is it!"
The Rank two Gu Master who reported was excited, "Brother Chi Shan, the young clan leader is here."
Gu Yue Chi Shan was shocked. Although he hadn't met this young clan leader, Gu Yue Yi Xin, many times, he had a deep impression of him.
The only two with A-grade aptitude in the clan, a tragic life, excellent grades, powerful combat strength, and the youngest Rank three in all of Qing Mao Mountain.
All kinds of rumors about him made him very interested in this legendary young man, "Oh, does this young clan leader have a way to move this River Devouring Toad?"
The reporting Gu Master didn't know, "This... I don't know. I only know that the clan sent him here."
But before Gu Yue Chi Shan's face could darken again, a clear young voice came, "Senior Chi Shan, you've worked hard. Leave the rest to me."
Gu Yue Chi Shan looked up and saw a handsome young man with black hair and white clothes coming with a crowd.
Seeing the person, Gu Yue Chi Shan praised repeatedly in his heart: "As expected of a heroic young man, a man of talent. No wonder that kid Chi Cheng mentions him every day."
Then he saluted and replied, "Greetings, Young Clan Leader. I am truly ashamed. This River Devouring Toad is too heavy. We have tried our best, but we can't move it even a bit."
Yi Xin didn't care, he looked at the river, "It's okay, Senior Chi Shan. No one expected that this River Devouring Toad would suddenly come to Qing Mao Mountain. It's normal that there's no way to deal with it in a short time."
"But it's too dangerous to keep this River Devouring Toad here all the time. After all, with its power, it can destroy the village," Gu Yue Chi Shan said anxiously.
Yi Xin smiled slightly, "That's why I'm here."
Gu Yue Chi Shan was shocked, "What good plan does the Young Clan Leader have?!"
Yi Xin didn't answer, but stepped into the river under the gaze of everyone.
After a while, he came to the side of the River Devouring Toad.
This River Devouring Toad was huge, like a small mountain. Yi Xin was like a pebble beside it.
It lay on its back in the riverbed, directly blocking the river channel. The upstream was accumulating river water, which was about to overflow the riverbank. The downstream, however, was almost cut off, with only a small stream of water nourishing the riverbed.
Its belly was facing up, snow-white and delicate, covered with a layer of luster. Its back was the color of a clear blue sky. Its skin was also smooth, without the warts on the back of ordinary toads.
At this moment, it was lying quietly, snoring, without snoring, looking quiet and gentle.
Yi Xin looked excited, after all, this was the first Rank five Gu worm he had ever seen, and he would be able to subdue it soon.
Yi Xin took a deep breath, calmed down, and placed his palm on the smooth and delicate skin of the River Devouring Toad.
In the aperture, the Lim Jiang Xian was waving its jade-colored light, and a will flowed into the River Devouring Toad's body along with the primeval essence.
"River Devouring Toad, wake up, wake up~"
The sleeping River Devouring Toad seemed to hear a call, and a warm heat flowed through its limbs, making it feel comfortable and making it scream.
"Jiang Ang~"
It twisted its body, opened its hazy sleepy eyes, saw the crowd on the riverbank with shocked and panicked faces, it tilted its head in confusion: "Jiang Ang?"
"Here, River Devouring Toad, here." A call came from below.
It took a closer look and saw a small person with a smiling face patting its belly. And the heat that made it feel extremely comfortable came from him.
"Jiang Ang~" The River Devouring Toad immediately turned over, carefully put its forehead on Yi Xin's hand, and twisted its round butt very happily.
Yi Xin was also amused by the River Devouring Toad, stroking the other's wide and smooth forehead like teasing a pet. Finally, he stood on it in the other's expectant eyes.
When Yi Xin was sitting firmly on its head, it excitedly raised its body, opened its mouth, and let out a toad call:
"Jiang Ang~"
The distant toad call spread out and echoed throughout Qing Mao Mountain.
That day, the entire Gu Yue Village saw a spectacle. The River Devouring Toad, as large as a small mountain, carried Yi Xin, hopping and jumping back to the village in the cheers of the crowd.
The elders and Gu Yue Bo, who learned the news, personally welcomed him with excitement.
In the end, after unanimous discussion, a lake on the back mountain of Gu Yue Village was handed over to Yi Xin to be used as the River Devouring Toad's residence.
After that, the entire back mountain was assigned to Yi Xin for management, and ten Rank two Gu Masters and twenty mortals were sent to protect Yi Xin's safety and take care of his food, clothing, and daily life.
After this incident, the entire Gu Yue Village admired and recognized this young clan leader, who was promoted to Rank three before the age of sixteen.
Some even compared him with Bai Ning Bing, the genius of the Bai family village who was rare in a century, the young clan leader of the Bai family.
The Bai and Xiong villages, after learning about this, began to investigate this suddenly rising Gu Yue young clan leader.
Looking at the information handed over by his subordinates, Bai Ning Bing carefully looked at it three or four times back and forth.
Finally, he reluctantly put down the paper in his hand. At this moment, his eyes were shining with excitement: "Hahaha, Gu Yue, Yi Xin, how interesting~"
