Lü Zhong cautiously descended and found that it had landed squarely on the roof of the Underground Palace.
It wasn't the Infernal Fang Beast he had expected.
It was a massive Demon Beast over thirty zhang long, its body covered in black, tree-bark-like scales. It looked a bit like an elongated armadillo, with three hideous snake heads sprouting from a slender neck.
Judging from the venomous blood dripping from its mouths, the Demon Beast had likely been poisoned to death.
'I don't recognize it. Is it a rare, variant Demon Beast?' Lü Zhong had used his Incarnations to infiltrate Sects like Changchun Valley and read all the texts they made available to low-level disciples, including bestiaries for identifying Demon Beasts, yet he still couldn't place this creature.
Just then, he let out a soft sound of surprise.
He had spotted something resembling a placenta and an umbilical cord.
'Traces of childbirth?'
The possibility sparked an idea in Lü Zhong's mind.
