"The River God is furious!"
"Run, run for your lives!"
"Chen Yi, forget the boat, just run!"
Waves surged over the wharf, and the fishermen of Yixing Town fled in panic. Some tried to secure their boats to prevent them from being swept away, but were forcefully pulled back. Watching their boats toss and turn amidst the towering waves, their courage deflated like a punctured swim bladder, wilting and shriveling, they turned and ran.
Boom, boom, boom.
Every household tightly closed their doors and windows, bolting them shut.
The howling wind was like the roar of a wild beast; the storm battered everything, hurling tiles to the ground where they shattered.
The entire Jianghuai Great Marsh shook and quivered; waves collided into a froth of spray. The Great Demons in the water trembled, fearing the unexpected struggle between the three Great Demon Kings and lest they become collateral damage.
Jiangchuan County.
The Mermaids curled up in the gorge, huddled together for comfort.
