According to Zhu Qingqing, she saw a blue fishtail appear in the center of the lake while she was fetching water. It breached the surface for just a moment before disappearing back into the water, after which blood began to spread from the lake's center.
"Here in the exiled land, your Beast Husband is the only Merfolk. I didn't dare go into the water, so I rushed to find you."
She added worriedly, "Boss Yu, I once heard the Clan Leader say there's a monster at the bottom of the lake. He saw it when he was young."
Yu An's expression changed. "Qingqing, please take me there."
She had Feng Xuan stay home to watch Da Hu and Xiao Hu, then took Mo Yan and Ao Wu and hurriedly followed Zhu Qingqing to find them.
The spot where Lan Yin had taken Xiao Yu to fish wasn't far; it was a place where both Beastmen and wild animals usually came to drink.
They arrived quickly. Yu An stared intently and saw that the lake was, indeed, tinged with faint streaks of blood.
