"Don't be afraid, it's okay," despite his hand still dripping with blood, he left his own mark on Zhao Xiaodie's forehead. As long as this mark was present, those creatures wouldn't dare to attack her.
However, this was not one hundred percent safe. If those creatures were too powerful, even Ye Wudao's mark might not be able to protect her.
"Wudao, what... what is that?" Zhao Xiaodie asked, trembling.
"It's a kappa," Ye Wudao told her.
No wonder Ye Wudao felt the malevolent aura was so strong upon entering this place. Due to its nature as a Dark River, perennially devoid of daylight, and located within a cave where water nurtured yin energy, accumulating over years—if a baby happened to die in this river, it could easily transform into a kappa.
