Chapter 278
278 Water demon
Downstream of the Qin ‘an River, at the mouth of the sea.
“There are more corpses floating down from above. Wow, it’s a water demon Suan ni!”
this is the 70th one that the ship has caught, right? ”
The Marine Police of Shangjing were driving several steamships with black smoke and hundreds of fishing boats that had been temporarily organized. They were salvaging the bodies that had drifted down from the upstream of the Qin an River.
At the sight of the corpses in the net, the people on the fishing boat shouted once again.
The fishing boats were piled with dead bodies of water-kind spirit creatures. Some of them were intact with only some wounds on their bodies. However, many of them were in pieces, with only one head, one leg, and half a body.
After being soaked in the water for a long time, the wounds of the water-kind spirit had already turned white. The muscles, internal organs and intestines of the wounds were like waterweeds in water, swaying with the waves lifelessly. Some wounds even showed that they had been gnawed by fish. As long as the water-kind spirit became a corpse, its grim face would lose all its deterrent force and look no different from the seafood being slaughtered in the market.
At the beginning, those fishing boats were a bit scared; however, they gradually got used to it.
There was a period of time when the water of qinan River was red when it flowed down from the top.
The Marine Police, the fishermen, the people fishing on the shore, and the guests on the ship were all shocked.
Then, the corpses of water demons flowed down from the upper reaches.
The people here finally understood why Qin Anhe’s color was red.
Because in addition to water, there was also blood flowing in the river, blood that could dye the entire river red.
Something big must have happened upstream of Qin an River.
Some people had already thought of the Dragon Boat Race on Qin an River today.
Wherever the red water flowed, the atmosphere of panic would follow.
However, this panic didn’t last long, because soon, everyone found that the bodies floating down from the upper reaches were not human, but only water demons. And the bodies of water demons were increasing, almost densely packed, and not a single human body could be seen.
As long as there were no dead bodies in the river, no one would be afraid.
Gradually, many people gathered around the shore at the mouth of the sea to watch the show.
There were tens of thousands of people who came to watch the show. The workers and residents of the nearby shipyards, as well as those fishing and strolling by the sea, all came over. Everyone gathered on both sides of the embankment at the mouth of the sea, pointing and discussing the fishing progress in the water.
I bet the corpses of water demons that long an fished up are at most rotten.
“I’ve got the most money from crossing the Fuqing boat, two silver coins!”
“I bet sky cloud will get more. Five silver coins!”
Among the crowd watching the Marine Police and the fishing boats on the shore, there were even a few green-skinned people who opened their bets and directly placed their bets.
There were also many people discussing it.
“Why are there so many dead water-kind creatures in this River?”
“I heard that it’s the demons of the bloody demon church who are causing trouble, hehe.”
“Causing trouble? Did the bloody demon church want these water-kind creatures to commit suicide upstream? why didn’t we see any human bodies, but water-kind creatures were killed in waves?”
what nonsense are you talking about? do you want to see someone float down? ”
“That’s not what I meant. I can’t wait for Shangjing to be safe and sound. It’s just that it’s too strange to see so many water-kind demon corpses here.”
what’s so strange about it? Shangjing is under the protection of the adjudicator Army. It’s also possible that the stupid bird of the bloody demon church has nothing better to do and has come up with some tricks to have fun with everyone. Let’s go and bet on a couple of Pixiu.
In the crowd, there was an old man wearing a straw hat and holding a fishing rod. He was slightly hunched and seemed to be fishing. He looked at the bodies of the water-kind demons in the river and listened to the discussions of the people around him. His eyes flashed with a cold light and his face turned pale.
The Child of Fortune was sitting on the old man’s hat, but the old man didn’t notice him at all.
This old man was the water demon, the misty sea. At this moment, the misty sea had become an old fisherman living alone in a village by the sea in Shangjing.
The old fisherman’s original form had already been chopped up by the misty sea and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. Even the old fisherman’s neighbors in the village did not know that their neighbors had long since changed unknowingly.
The black mist sea was here to watch the commotion and see his masterpiece. He wanted to see the countless corpses of the people of Shangjing floating down from the upper reaches, the pale faces of the people around him, the entire Shangjing trembling under his power, and the name of the black mist sea shaking Shangjing and becoming everyone’s nightmare.
But,
Everything in front of him was like a merciless mockery to him.
Impossible, impossible! When I released the water demons, there were no powerful people near the peach blossom bridge. Even if the summoners who were maintaining order could discover the water demons and kill them, they wouldn’t be able to evacuate the crowd in time. This was a massacre. The people who died the most must be from Shangjing. How could it be my water demons?
Yinghai roared in his heart.
hey, old man, do you want to make a bet? let’s bet on which boat can get the most corpses of water-kind creatures. The odds are one to three, hehe. a pimpled green-skinned man came to the side of the sea of forgetfulness and asked.
The livid expression on Yinghai’s face disappeared instantly, and he became cold and lonely. He snorted. I still have two fish in my fish basket. Do you want to bet? ”
“Tsk, so you don’t have money. Who wants to bet with you on your two stinky fish!”
After taking one last look at the river, he carried his fishing rod and fish basket, turned around, and walked toward a village by the sea.
There were more than 300 families in the village. They were on the beach, and there were rows of small fishing boats on the beach.
The people of Shangjing did not eat the fish in the Qin an River, but they still ate the fish in the sea. Therefore, the whole village relied on fishing for a living. The old people in the village who could not get on the boat would go fishing or fishing by the sea. Although they did not make as much money as fishing in the sea, they could still make some money and exchange it for some wine money every day.
There were many small villages like this near the sea, and there were even more old men like the one who had transformed from the misty sea.
The old man that Chi Yinghai had transformed into was a lonely man in the village. He had no children, no wife, and had a weird temper. He didn’t like to talk to people, and when Chi Yinghai walked past the village, no one greeted him.
The small house in the misty sea was very old. It was less than 400 meters away from the sea and stood alone in front of a slope full of weeds.
When they returned to the small, run-down house, the sun had already set. There was not enough light in the small, run-down house, and all kinds of things were piled up messily in the house. The whole place was pitch-black, and it was extremely depressing.
Xuanji customs opened the door, put away her fishing rod, and poured the fish in her basket into the water tank. Then, with a wave of her hand, the sound in the cabin was completely blocked from the outside world. If one was outside, they would only hear dead silence in the cabin.
Yan Yinghai’s eyes scanned the room and he muttered,”come out for a walk.”
“Hehehe, you’re quite vigilant!” In the shadow of an old cabinet in the house, a shadow twisted and slowly revealed a human figure wearing a Golden Ghost mask and wrapped in thick black fog. The person in the thick fog chuckled. you’ve ruined your show today. The famous water demon, the misty sea, made its first move in Shangjing. It used up tens of thousands of water demon eggs and only killed one to two hundred people. There’s not even a single corpse in the river. Hehehe. This job wasn’t done beautifully, eh?”
“Hmph!” Yan Yinghai snorted, ” you Dark Demon, you don’t have to worry about my business. If you’re strong, you should go kill a few hundred people under the eyes of the judgement Army. I don’t think you have the guts to do that, right? ”
“Kekekekekeke,” the dark Demon in the dense black mist guffawed weirdly as his male voice turned into that of a woman’s, which gave Zhang tie goosebumps. Closely after that, the dark demon’s voice turned as old as an old man’s,”there are many ways to kill people. You don’t have to be brave; you can use your brain too. Don’t you want to know why you failed today and who ruined your good plan?”
“What do you mean?” Ying Yinghai’s eyes moved.
you don’t have to be so careful. One of the space travelers who appeared in the Golden Moon continent is in Shangjing. He ruined your plan today. If you want the immortal pill, we can work together. As long as we take that person’s head, we can split the immortal pill!
Undying pill? Upon hearing these three words, a greedy light flashed across Chi Yunhai’s eyes. These three words seemed to have a huge temptation to him.
“Who’s the space dweller you’re talking about?”
Xia ping ‘an, an inspector from the eastern port’s inspection department of the judgement Army. He was the one who noticed the unusual movements under the peach blossom bridge today and gave an early warning, making the onlookers retreat in advance. Then, he set up a formation on the peach blossom bridge to snipe the water demons. Your efforts were in vain, ” the dark Demon said, and his voice became that of a young man again. However, he didn’t know that the Child of Fortune had already climbed onto his head and was gritting his teeth while peeing on his head.
“The judgement Army will let a Voidwalker join as an inspector?”
Xia Pingan is just a bait. When the branch in Shangjing city was completely annihilated, the higher-ups of the great Shang Empire already knew of his identity. They also knew that our blood demon church wanted his head, so they deliberately placed him in a conspicuous place to lure us into the trap. Do the judgement Army think that we can’t see through such a trick? ”
“You know it’s a trap and you still want me to fall into it?”
this is the interesting part, ” the dark demon’s voice was faint and strange, reverberating in the dilapidated wooden house. we ate the meat in the trap right under the eyes of the adjudicators and escaped unscathed. Did you not save the face that you lost today? we also got the immortal pill. If the hall Master knows that we killed Xia Pingan in such a situation, he will definitely reward us handsomely. If the hall Master is happy, he might even double the reward!
