Chapter 51: Yang Shui, Yin Shan
g commander of the No. 4 Sea Nest, and one of the strongest high-ranking commanders in the Dingwei region. The two of us tied together aren't a match for him.”Chu Mi said, "Furthermore, the Sea Tribe...The contrast between the treatment and Taoism is too stark, it's akin to a public humiliation.
"Cough." Elder Jiang had to display his wealth of experience from battles past, reminding everyone with a serious expression: "We need to leave quickly. The smell of blood might attract other monsters... and who knows what kind of creatures lurk in the depths of the ocean"
“The water here tells me there are many powerful creatures in the deep sea,” Zuo Guangshu said with certainty. “But our biggest danger right now should be Huangbei and tsunamis.”
He treated his wounds and roughly gauged his bearings before beckoning Jiang Wang to follow.
Holding a yuan stone in hand, he rapidly restored his Dao Yuan while walking on the water.
“Huang Bei and a tsunami” Brother Jiang seemed clearly puzzled.
Luckily, Zuo Guangshu, who plays the role of my subordinate, is very patient: "Just now that monster was a Luoyu. According to the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), 'Luoyu has the body of a fish and the wings of a bird, its voice resembles that of mandarin ducks, and when seen, it brings great floods to its surroundings.'"
Since the carp are here, this must be saltwater. Saltwater flows north to become the Meng River, which originates from Mount Gui. Following the currents of the Meng River downstream... you see over there.
He pointed to the distant sky, where a vaguely discernible double-peaked floating mountain loomed: “That floating mountain shaped like a bull’s horn should be Mount Gui.”
Jiang Wang couldn't understand at all. Wasn't this just an endless sea How could it be divided like a river splitting into different channels, separating seawater from the water of Meng
Still watching the undercurrents... What's that
All in all, it sounds very convincing...
There's a book called "Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi" – it sounds familiar, but I can't quite place where I've heard it before.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"I wouldn't have guessed it. You're so young, but you seem to know a lot and have experienced quite a bit!" Jiang Wang praised.
“I haven't traveled much outside the State of Chu.” Left Guangshu paused, then continued, “But I have read a lot of books.”
Jiang Wang always felt that there was something deep in his words, but looking at the child's expression, he seemed very innocent.
>
"Reading is good, reading is good. Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles."
Zuo Guangshu also said: "The Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi records that Huang Bei is also a strange beast active in the ocean. In addition, in Xian Zhang Shen's annotated version, it is said that Huang Bei lives in groups, accompanies Luo Yu, and will definitely come before a big flood."
Jiang Wang only noticed the four words "live in groups". Just as he was about to ask about Huang Bei's strength, a rustling sound arose from the next moment, vibrating together and forming a terrifying resonance.
Left Guangshu also nearly simultaneously pulled Jiang Wang, rapidly diving deep into the seabed.

Under the influence of He Bo's divine power, water does not become his pressure or resistance, but his vanguard and guard. Protecting them, and propelling them forward.
At this moment, Zuo Guangshu's underwater speed was astonishing even Jiang Wang couldn't help but be impressed.
And just in this rapid descent, at the end of his vision, a dense swarm of beetles suddenly appeared.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
This insect has a yellow, round shell on its back. Its flesh is like a tadpole, but it has a head and a tail. It's only the size of a human fingernail, but it moves incredibly fast in water. Its mouthparts are also crisscrossed with backward teeth, making it look quite ferocious.
That throng of people, at a glance, must number in the hundreds of thousands!
Like a gigantic net, it was directly "hauled" over from the other side of the sea.
Wherever it passes, only seawater can remain on the back of this "web." All the fish carcasses killed by the monster whelkfish have disappeared without a trace!
This is Huang Bei
They surged across the waters above in flocks, blotting out the sky for a moment, plunging it into darkness.
All the talk of black clouds pressing down on a city and locusts swarming across fields pales in comparison to this scene.
This aquatic beetle, known as "Huang Bei", is incredibly fast with razor-sharp jaws that can easily crush bones and shred flesh with no effort at all. What's even more terrifying is that they are not picky eaters; it seems like they will eat anything except seawater.
Dead fish, seaweed, turtles, shells, coral, even the blood that had been scattered from the previously killed fish...nothing was left.
It's even more ferocious than a locust plague.
Where locusts have passed, all greenery is gone.
Where Huang Beiqun has passed, only the sea remains.
Jiang Wang probably understood why this sea area was so clear.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
The waters that could be covered by Huangbei's swarm had been thoroughly "screened," and all impurities outside the seawater were devoured. It was hard for this area of sea to remain unclean.
Even a single yellow clam, judging by its forward speed and the sharpness of its mouthparts, possesses power levels comparable to those of human inner realm cultivators. This is even before considering whether they possess any special abilities.
But the most terrifying thing is still their number.
Tens of thousands of clams, densely packed, swept across this sea area, covering everything within sight. To be honest, they are even more difficult to deal with than conger eels.
The mighty Grand Qi Qingyangzi and the young Duke of Chu, upon entering the Shan Hai Realm, had no time to display their grandeur before vanishing repeatedly, hiding again and again.
This is a test. Let's see if this works!
There's really no other way.
If someone were to venture into the mountains that float among the clouds and look down from afar, they would see this scene——
A monstrous creature, tens of zhang in size, with the body of a fish and the wings of a bird, flew low in the air, emitting a sound similar to that of a mandarin duck. It swallowed up an entire sea area. With a single mouthful, it spat out a dense stream of water columns from between its teeth, like javelins, killing countless fish and staining the seawater red.
Then hundreds of thousands of beetle came swarming, sifting through the remains.
A swarm of beetles flew over, leaving behind only a vast expanse of crystal-clear blue sea.
Then peace and serenity.
It's as if nothing ever happened.
The Shan Hai Jing, with its unique ecosystem, maintains its beauty.
The winning fish fly, the yellow shells pass, and the ocean seems to return to peace.
>However, just the next moment...
Boom!
A thunderous roar shook the air.
The sea is surging with giant waves!
In an instant, a furious wind raged and the waves crashed violently.
How terrifying those huge waves were!
They surged almost to the sky, rising like mountains from the sea. They were peaks of water, and even more so, the ocean's spear thrusting towards the heavens!
The sky seemed to tremble, and the smoke and haze over thousands of miles seemed to be scattering.
That distant, hazy floating mountain was barely visible, as if it had been frightened and hidden away.
>
A hundredfold the power of the worldly profound mysteries, it simply cannot restrain the raging sea.
“On seeing it, the city was submerged in great water,” bringing about such a catastrophic scene.
A four-winged, single-eyed flying insect high above exploded completely.
It's simply impossible to withstand such aftershocks.
In the midst of a floating mountain, a man walking suddenly stopped and furrowed his brow.
This man was wearing a Jinheng crown and a long robe. He looked quite ancient. He stared at the back of his right index finger, where a strange pattern was etched, but a large section was missing.
... and it's constantly disappearing.
I couldn't help but speak up, "Huang Wei truly created a perilous mountain and sea realm! We've only walked for a few steps, and of my thousand flying eyes, only thirteen remain."
“Oh no, seven now.”
"Alright, three it is!"
The man walking in front also wore a scholar's cap, but he was wearing armor. This combination of scholar's hat and armor, I wonder what kind of style it is.
Upon closer inspection, his jianxian crown was not the common fabric one, but an iron-cast crown.
This makes it even stranger.
In this world, who ever heard of an incorruptible genius cap Yet, it just so happened to be on his helmet, and inexplicably, everything felt more harmonious.
Even this man's overall aura was like that, inexplicably, yet mysteriously harmonious.
Just like his mismatched eyes, one big and one small, it didn't feel awkward at all. It was as if he only looked normal with his different-sized eyes.
Their appearance wasn't particularly harmonious, but there was something about them that made them strangely likeable.
It's really baffling.
At the sound, his footsteps didn't stop, he just smiled and said: "Gear Fei, do you need to go through so much trouble to get your losses back from me I already said I'll compensate you, are you afraid of losing money here"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
With a look that was previously tangled and serious, he finally transformed into a smiling face, and his steps began to keep up: “But you can’t just report random things, I need to give you some kind of idea!”
>
The one who stood alongside the Yue nation's prodigy, Ge Fei, was naturally Wu Ling from the Wu clan of Great Chu.
Chu and Yue were neighboring states, and their relationship had never been particularly friendly. However, they seemed to have similar interests. This time, during the journey to the Shan Hai realm, Wu Ling even specially invited him along.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Walking along the mountain path, Wu Ling didn't make jokes with Ge Fei, only asking: "Have you seen anything interesting"
“There was a floating mountain that seemed to split open, and I saw a monster with the head of a qilin fighting someone, but I couldn't see who its opponent was. My eyes flew wide open in surprise. A sea area erupted with a tsunami, but I couldn't make out what caused it. There was also…”
With a relaxed tone, Ge Fei was speaking when suddenly his face changed. He turned around and flew away quickly, "Run!"
Although Wu Ling didn't know what was going on, he didn't try to force it. He readily changed direction and flew away with Ge Fei.
>
They were all outstanding young prodigies from the Southern Region, each with the cultivation of the Outer Courtyard Realm. Their speed when they flew was astonishing.
But it seems like someone still caught up to them.
A "slip! slip!" sound rang out from behind.
"Who's reminding us to slip away" Wuling was a little confused: "Are there other people here The Shan Hai Realm is so vast, we shouldn't run into anyone this quickly..."
The leather wings zipped through the air, five fingers spread wide as it pressed against its back.
There was a light thud.
Two earthworms, about three feet long and yellowish brown, emerged from the soil and quickly inflated themselves, transforming into the likeness of Ge Fei and Wu Ling. They moved with a great deal of commotion in the direction.
"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first" He finally had a chance to speak with Wuling, but he couldn't resist teasing him.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"If talking is too tiring, just don't talk." Wu Ling flew at a terrifying speed, but his voice remained calm. "Pay up."
“It’s a celestial dog!” Ge Fei immediately explained.
Hearing this, Wu Ling no longer wasted words. He pushed aside the iron-made Jinxian Crown on his head, and in an instant, literary energy gathered into wolf hairs, held firmly in his hand. With a stroke of his pen, qi flowed like dragons and snakes, writing the character "將" (general), hanging it in mid-air.
The tide of soldiers surged from the very heart of this "general" character. It manifested as a black-helmeted warrior, leaping out and landing firmly behind them.
Holding a battle knife, his killing intent was palpable.
Occupying a strategic position, it serves as a reserve line of defense.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas says: In the Yin Mountains, there is a beast. It resembles a raccoon but with a white head. Its name is Tian Gou, and its sound is like "liuliu." It can ward off evil.
It wasn't that Ge Fei and Wu Ling were cowardly, it was simply that the celestial dog, as a type of monster, was at least of the divine level. The strong among their clan could even reach the level of a true person. In ancient legends, there were even tales of celestial dogs swallowing the sun and the moon, with supernatural powers beyond imagination!
"I've already heard the bad news, what about the good news" Hunter couldn't help but ask amidst the rustling wind.
"The good news, of course, is that I know which mountain this Devil's Peak is!" Ge Fei said matter-of-factly.
“I'll just ask you more!”
Who hasn't read *Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi* if they can enter the realm of mountains and seas
And none of them are illiterate!
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
This is a minor piece of good news.
It's common knowledge that the celestial dog resides in the Yin Mountains.
Do you still need to defend yourself
Moreover, let alone the heroes above Yinshan Mountain, the talented duo Ge Fei and Wu Ling charged forth like wolves and tigers.
Here's the translation:

Even in the vast ocean, there is a pair of prodigies who huddle together like frightened mice.
Lord Jiang and Lord Zuo first fled into the water under the intimidation of the swimming fish, and then dived deep into the seabed under the impact of the yellow clam group.
The seabed is boundless and dangerous. Even though Zuo Guang's innate abilities are comparable to those of the River God, he is only at the nascent stage. He dares not dive too deep.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are all coming to fruition.
A flying fish soared, followed by a shoal of yellow clams.
Yellow clams roared past, followed by a tidal wave that overturned the entire sea!
Water peaks pierce the heavens, giant waves vanish.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The beautiful sky with clouds stretching for miles no longer exists.
The sky and the sea were both dark.
In this apocalyptic, terrifying flood, suddenly there was the roar of a dragon.
In the depiction of utter destruction, a black dragon suddenly leaps out.
This dragon, complete with head and tail, is vivid and alive. It pulls a magnificent carriage, leaping over the giant waves!
This car is adorned with a canopy of jade lotuses, magnificent and grand. It traverses rivers with grace and commands the waves with power.
To the left of the throne, Zuo Guangshu wore azure armor and a navy-blue battle robe. His eyes, though still youthful, surged with power like an unstoppable river.
It is exactly the manifestation of He Bo's form, taking control of this water domain in its strongest state, momentarily appearing as divine or demonic!
With a Ruyi fairy robe upon him, Jiang Wang stood beside him with his sword drawn. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, ready to strike at any moment.
On the battlefield, a typical tank formation consists of a "Driver" in the center, responsible for long-range attacks. To their left is the "Multishot," responsible for ranged combat, and to their right is the "Brawler," specializing in close-quarters melee combat.
Jiang Wang was currently in charge of the "Right Army" position. Of course, if necessary, he wouldn't hesitate to unleash long-range magical attacks.
The two brothers then rode the divine chariot of He Bo, navigating the raging sea.
In the terrifying flood brought by the beast, the
giant lobster, they pressed onward bravely.
Waves like mountains crashing down, parting when they meet the river god.
The raging sea churned, but it only lightly caressed the river god's chariot.
The black dragon pulling the cart is, of course, just a manifestation of water element, not a real dragon. But in this raging sea environment, it truly resembles the might of a divine dragon!
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly the world brightened—
A boundless expanse of clouds painted the sky, appearing close yet incredibly distant. They resembled mountains floating in mist, while the sea surface was as smooth and reflective as a mirror...
The sky is clear and vast, and the horizon is bright!

Looking back from the speeding He Bo tank, the sky-covering storm waves had already been left behind, but when it would cease, no one knew...
1. "The Chronicle of Exotic Beasts" is an original text created by the author to build a sense of world realism. This book is the original text. Similar to previous works such as "On Puppets," "On Tactics," and historical records from various countries.
2, "Shan Hai Yi Shou Zhi" is basically a copy of "Shan Hai Jing," with some adjustments made to better suit the world of Chi Xin. For example, the size and sharp teeth of Luoyu fish, and Huangbei relying on the leftovers of Luoyu fish for survival, accompanying it... These details not found in the original work are all additions by the author to increase realism. But the original work is still "Shan Hai Jing."
Thanks to the imaginative brilliance of our predecessors, we have been left with such a rich and colorful array of legends.
