As a well-known aquatic elf, Zheng Qing was no stranger to the Kappa.
Beak mouth, round head, pointed ears, heavy shield armour, and the jade disc always on its forehead. Every wizard was familiar with these features.
Zheng Qing had encountered this magical creature on his first night patrol.
It was a Kappa crying under the moon, its companion had been abducted by a swarm of Sand Hour insects. At that time, the impression the Kappa left on Zheng Qing was that of a frail, strange creature with a thin voice and a beautiful jade disc on its head.
And now, while on patrol, Zheng Qing ran into the Kappa that was blocking his path once again.
Or perhaps more accurately, the monster in front of him had once been a Kappa.
Ignoring its flaming red eyes and bulging, tortured muscles, the young wizard could faintly recognize the traces of a beak, round head, jade disc on top, and a tortoise-like shell on this monster.
