Chapter 179 Gonggong, the Water God's Subordinate!
The Nine-Life Xiangliu, also known as Xiangyao, is an ancient evil god recorded in the Chinese classic "Classic of Mountains and Seas" from Su Fan's previous life.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Overseas Northern Classic, records that "Gonggong's minister was Xiangliu, who had nine heads and ate from nine mountains... Xiangliu had nine heads, human faces, snake bodies, and was blue."
The Classic of Mountains and Seas, Great Wilderness North, also records that "Gonggong's minister was named Xiangyao, who had nine heads and a snake's body and ate from the nine lands."
In other words, this seemingly terrifying Nine-Lives Willow is a subordinate of the water god Gonggong.
The deity that Yuan Qingsheng contracted with was the water god Gonggong!
This is why Su Fan didn't feel worried when he saw that it was the ferocious beast Nine Lives Willow; instead, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.
The Nine-Life Willow usually lies dormant in the Blackwater Marsh, feeding on the earth's energy.
His nine serpent heads can simultaneously reach out to the nine directions of the land, absorbing the life force of mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees.
Wherever the Nine-Life Willow vomits or lingers, it immediately turns into a swamp or marsh.
At the same time, every part of the Nine-Life Willow's body contains terrifying poison.
It's absolutely terrifying!
When Yu the Great was controlling the floods, the Nine-Life Willow stirred up trouble in the waters.
After Yu the Great painstakingly killed the Nine-Lives Willow, he did not expect that the flesh and blood of the Nine-Lives Willow would pollute a large area of land.
Yu the Great had no choice but to dig deep into the polluted land to create a pond, and use the excavated soil to build an altar for the emperors.
Looking at the Nine Lives Willow, which was poised to attack them, Su Fan calmly said to Yuan Qingsheng:
"Elder Yuan, summon the divine image of the water god Gonggong!"
Yuan Qingsheng, who was looking at the Nine Lives Willow across from him with a wary expression, was taken aback and somewhat puzzled when he heard Su Fan's words.
However, he did as Su Fan said, since trusting Su Fan was never a bad thing.
At this moment, Nine Lives Willow also launched an attack on Su Fan and his group.
The Nine-Life Willow opened its nine mouths and spat out nine streams of dark green venom.
Su Fan quickly dodged the nine streams of venom.
The venom landed on the ground in front of Su Fan, corroding large holes in the ground.
Su Fan turned around and shouted to Yuan Qingsheng, who was still there, "Old Yuan, hurry up!"
Yuan Qingsheng immediately nodded, activated the divine power within his body, and summoned the divine phantom of the water god Gonggong.
Just as Jiuming Xiangliu was about to launch an attack, his body stiffened upon seeing the divine phantom of the water god Gonggong.
The pressure emanating from the depths of his bloodline caused his body to tremble.
The nine snake heads of the Nine-Life Willow instantly lowered, ceasing their attack and respectfully prostrating themselves on the ground.
The viewers in the live stream were so surprised by what they saw that they covered their mouths in astonishment.
"What's going on? Why did Nine Lives Willow suddenly give in?"
"Holy crap! What's going on? This hydra looks like it's terrified of the water god Gonggong's shadow; look, its body is trembling."
"Yes, could this hydra be connected to the water god Gonggong?!"
"It's a package deal! Otherwise, what would we be afraid of with those vicious Hydras?"
"The streamer is amazing! He actually managed to make that terrifying hydra obey him!"
The comments section was scrolling wildly, with everyone expressing their shock.
Su Fan was secretly delighted. As a subordinate of the water god Gonggong, the Nine-Lives Xiangliu was indeed extremely respectful of Gonggong.
Seeing the Nine-Lives Willow's profound reverence for the water god Gonggong, Yuan Qingsheng breathed a sigh of relief.
The Nine-Lives Willow's enormous head shook, emitting a deep sound:
"Lord Water God? Is that you?"
Su Fan replied, "This is the figure of the Water God Gonggong. He is Gonggong's contractor."
As Su Fan spoke, he pointed to Yuan Qingsheng beside him.
Upon hearing Su Fan's words, Nine-Life Willow could clearly feel its tense body relax.
He raised the nine ugly snake heads again, flicking his tongue.
Su Fan stepped forward and said to the Nine Lives Willow, "We meant no harm. It's just that the fog on Kunlun Mountain is too thick, and we couldn't see the way. We accidentally wandered into your lair. We hope you will let us leave."
Nine-Life Xiangliu did not answer immediately, but stared intently at the divine figure of the water god Gonggong.
Su Fan inwardly realized something was wrong, but feigning composure, he said to Yuan Qingsheng:
"Elder Yuan, it seems that the Nine-Lives Willow is unwilling to give way. Why don't you summon the Water God Gonggong in his true form and let him have a word with the Nine-Lives Willow?"
Yuan Qingsheng was somewhat surprised when he heard Su Fan's words. How could he possibly summon the true form of the water god Gonggong?
Just as Yuan Qingsheng was about to speak to Su Fan, Su Fan gave him a wink.
Yuan Qingsheng immediately understood. He took a deep breath, and ripples of water began to appear on his body, converging in front of him.
The water ripples formed eddies, which grew larger and larger.
It looks as if they are trying to awaken the true form of the water god Gonggong.
Then Yuan Qingsheng put on a dignified air and shouted loudly to Jiuming Xiangliu:
"Nine-Lives Xiangliu, get out of the way right now, or you'll be sorry when the water god Gonggong is summoned!"
Nine Lives Willow looked at the whirlpool with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.
Seeing this, Yuan Qingsheng secretly infused the water with a trace of the aura of the water god Gonggong.
At this moment, all nine heads of the Nine-Lives Willow trembled, their eyes filled with fear.
His massive body slowly writhed, making way for Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng.
"Stop! I'll make way right away. Please don't wake the Water God. I'll make way right away."
"Nine Lives Willow," she said, her voice trembling.
Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng exchanged a glance, secretly delighted.
Yuan Qingsheng replied, "Alright, since you're sensible enough to make way for me, I won't make things difficult for you. Let's leave now."
The nine snake heads of the Nine-Life Willow nodded frantically, wishing Su Fan and the others would leave as soon as possible.
Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng exchanged a quick glance, then cautiously proceeded along the path cleared by the Nine Lives Willow.
They walked very slowly, giving Jiuming Xiangliu the impression that they were not afraid of Him.
This way, the Nine Lives Willow wouldn't discover that they had deceived Him.
After walking for about half an hour and then running for another half hour, Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng finally stopped.
Meanwhile, viewers in the live stream cheered.
"The anchor is so clever, he actually managed to fool this Hydra."
"Yes, that was a close call."
"At first I thought the streamer could handle Hydra, but it turns out he just relied on deception!"
"So what if you manage to lie? You can't even fool anyone!"
"..."
Yuan Qingsheng and Su Fan stopped, panting heavily.
To avoid being discovered by the Nine Lives Willow, Su Fan and Yuan Qingsheng each used their speed-based abilities to escape after leaving its sight.
This really exhausted them.
