As night fell, all visitors had left the park area, leaving Yang Lin alone in the entire zoo.
Just as he arrived at the artificial lake, a series of cries resembling infant wails emerged from the water.
Hearing this sound nearly scared the soul out of Yang Lin, but after a moment's thought, he understood what was happening.
"You two, come out!"
Following Yang Lin's loud command toward the lake surface, two massive dark shadows slowly emerged from the lake bottom.
One resembled a python with a face full of dense sharp teeth, while the other was a six-legged monster with a demon's face imprinted on its back.
If others had witnessed this scene, they might have wet themselves in fear.
"Indeed, the horror effect is definitely amplified at night."
While musing, Yang Lin took out the feed he had prepared in advance.
"Come on, eat up, everyone. You need to be well-fed to do your job. The success of my mission depends entirely on you."
Seeing the food, the two creatures in the lake eagerly rushed to Yang Lin's side.
The giant salamander, in particular, kept affectionately rubbing its plump head against Yang Lin's pants.
Remarkably, although these two creatures lacked strong communication abilities due to their limited intelligence, they showed an inexplicable dependence on Yang Lin.
After the two finished eating, Yang Lin gave them a new command.
The command was for them to follow the underwater channel from the lake into the Yong River.
Indeed, Yang Lin wanted these terrifying creatures to pose as water monsters in the Yong River.
Of course, they didn't really need to pose - to ordinary people, they already looked exactly like water monsters.
As soon as the command was given, the two creatures swam straight toward the Yong River, and within ten minutes, they had entered the river's channel.
Perhaps due to the water monster incident the previous night, there wasn't a single person cooling off or playing in the water along the Yong River banks.
Only occasional vehicles and pedestrians passed by on the riverside road.
Seeing this scene, Yang Lin promptly directed the two creatures downstream toward the urban area.
After swimming for an unknown duration, a cluster of dense lights caught Yang Lin's attention.
Following the giant salamander's gaze toward the shore, he saw that the brightly lit area was a riverside park.
At this time, various people could be seen in the park - some cycling, some skateboarding, and even a group of middle-aged women doing square dancing.
Looking at these crowds, Yang Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
"This is a good spot. This is the place!"
"You two, get ready!"
Just as Yang Lin was about to have the two creatures surface to frighten the people on shore, a sorrowful-looking young man stumbled toward the riverbank carrying a bottle of beer.
As he walked, he kept muttering to himself.
"Why does everyone blame me for everything?"
"Why don't any of you believe me, why?"
"Whatever, life is already terrible, I might as well die."
As soon as he finished speaking, the drunk young man recklessly jumped into the river.
Due to the loud square dancing music, none of the people on shore noticed someone had fallen into the water.
When the drunk young man entered the water, he finally felt a hint of regret.
But he couldn't swim at all and could only thrash about helplessly in the river.
However, just when he thought death was certain, something round suddenly pressed against his lower back.
He who had thought death was inevitable suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
Soon he was pushed to the shallow water.
Seeing that he had escaped life-threatening danger, the young man thought he had been saved by a passing night swimmer.
But when he turned around the next second, his soul nearly left his body in terror.
In the shallow river water, a six-legged creature was raising its large head and looking at him intently, with its demon-like tattoo appearing particularly fierce at that moment.
One glance was all it took for the young man to feel warmth in his crotch, and without further thought, he let out a yelp and scrambled toward the shore.
By this time, the park visitors had finally noticed the commotion, and they all ran over with curiosity.
When they encountered the drunk man, they immediately started questioning him.
"Young man, what happened?"
"Yeah, you're soaking wet, did you fall into the river?"
"It's just falling into water, why are you so scared?"
"Look at how drunk he is, probably stumbled in by accident."
As people were piecing together the truth, the drunk man finally shared what he had seen and experienced.
"There's a monster in the water, a six-legged monster."
"Really, I was trying to commit suicide, and this monster brought me back up. It was as big as a small car."
Hearing the drunk man's words, the crowd showed skeptical expressions.
"Six legs? What kind of creature has six legs? You must be drunk out of your mind."
"He must be hallucinating."
"Probably just saw a lounge chair or something."
"Let's go, it's nothing. Sisters, let's get back to dancing."
However, before the crowd could turn away, eerie cries like infant wails emerged from the dark river water behind them.
Hearing these cries, almost everyone's skin broke out in goosebumps.
Late at night, by the river, where could these loud infant cries be coming from?
Instantly, everyone had an unsettling feeling.
But there were still a few brave souls who, driven by curiosity, walked to the riverbank with their phone flashlights on.
When they shone their flashlight beams toward the river surface, a huge mouth full of sharp teeth appeared before their eyes first.
At that moment, an unprecedented fear instantly took over their hearts, and their legs began shaking uncontrollably - though they wanted to flee, they couldn't move.
Just when they thought it couldn't get worse, an even larger dark shadow slowly emerged from the river water.
An alligator-like elongated body, six sturdy legs, plus the demon tattoo on its back - it was even more terrifying than the previous monster.
"Mother of God! The water monster is coming ashore!"
Someone shouted, and instantly those who had been frozen regained their ability to move.
They immediately ran toward the park exit.
Those who had refused to believe earlier finally saw the two monsters in the river water under the park lights.
Without anyone needing to remind them, they ran at the fastest speed of their lives, wishing they had two extra legs.
In less than a minute, the entire riverside park was completely empty.
Watching this scene through the shared vision, Yang Lin immediately showed a satisfied expression, and issued another command.
"Let's go! Next stop!"
As his words fell, the two creatures submerged into the river water once again.

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
