Therefore, it was inevitable to encounter some strangely shaped things on the way.
For example, right now, Gu Shanhai saw a huge bird lurking in the clouds, constantly drawing moisture to nourish itself.
"A bit familiar-looking," Gu Shanhai glimpsed from afar, his gaze piercing through the clouds, and he saw a monster similar to a large bird.
It had the form of an owl with a human face, pheasant body, and canine tail.
"Human-faced Owl, how come this thing still exists?"
Gu Shanhai was somewhat curious; he knew this world housed mystical beings such as mountain ghosts. Now he'd actually encountered a Human-faced Owl in the sky, which was also a stroke of good luck.
According to the tales, it could bring about severe drought—seems like the Human-faced Owl was quite scientific; just dry up the moisture in the clouds, and naturally, there would be no rain, thus drought wouldn't be unusual.
