The boat stopped on the lake, with clouds leaning on the bow.

Take a piece of dried shrimp and throw it into your mouth, chew it and wait silently.

There are fewer and fewer bubbles in the lake, the temperature of the lake water gradually decreases, and the bone knife inserted diagonally at the bottom of the lake is finally quenched.

The lake was quiet, but the sheep started to get restless.

The largest sheep slowly raised his head and looked at the young man on the bow of the boat, his eyes once again filled with bloodshot eyes.

This largest red devil sheep was much more powerful than the other red devil sheep. It had already developed sanity. It saw that Yu Yuanwai was dead and that the shepherd's bell had fallen into the hands of an outsider who didn't know how to use it.

It looks like a sheep, but its true body is a demon after all. The feeling of being kept in captivity is the most unbearable experience for the demon clan. In the past, due to the existence of the shepherd's bell, the red demon sheep could only be imprisoned in the sheepfold. Now the bell has changed its owner.

A chance to regain freedom.

The misaligned fangs silently prepared a fatal blow, and there was a flame burning in the head sheep's mouth, which was only covered by its tightly closed mouth.

The Red Demon Sheep is named after the red fire contained in its belly. The most dangerous thing about this monster is not the fangs that swallow the liger, but the demon fire in its belly.

The cunning leader spotted the opportunity, and while Yunji was chewing shrimp crackers, he suddenly opened his big mouth, and the dark lake seemed to light up with a torch.

call……

Before the breath could reach the mouth from the belly, the sheep's long mouth was suddenly pinched by a hand. At the same time, the ice spread and froze the sheep's head completely.

He threw his kick and hit the sheep's head right in the middle. The ice shattered, and a mouth full of sheep's teeth fell off at the same time.

After a pinch and a kick, Yunji continued to lean on the bow of the boat. Without even looking at the frightened and whimpering head sheep, he put one hand into the lake water.

"That's almost it."

After muttering to himself, Yunji's eyes darkened, and a majestic evil energy erupted from the palm of his hand that invaded the lake water.

The evil spirit was like a tide, forming a tornado that rolled from the surface of the lake to the bottom of the lake, connecting with the bone knife.

With a crash, the bone knife came out of the water and landed firmly in Yunji's hand.

After the evil spirit dissipated, Yunji casually threw the bone knife aside, picked up the oar, and rowed towards the shore.

More than a dozen red demon sheep gathered at the stern of the boat, huddled together, trembling all over. The leader struggled to get up, looking at Yunji with fearful eyes. Not to mention spitting fire, he didn't even dare to bleat.

The Red Demon Sheep finally understood his situation.

They were imprisoned in a sheep pen before, and the shepherd's bells deterred them from escaping. However, they were well fed, with meat every day.

Now that he has been driven out of the sheepfold, although the intimidation of the shepherd's bell has disappeared, a more ruthless guy has arrived. He can beat a group of monsters to death with his fists and kicks without even using a bell.

Sheep's heart is very heavy, recalling the past with endless emotion.

Although Yu Yuanwai is not that good, at least he does not lack food and drink, and he does not hunt sheep...

After landing, Yunji drove the sheep to Denglou Town and took out the second bone knife from the well with the same evil spirit.

The blacksmith and his son waited nervously for half a night. When they saw Yunji coming back, they immediately surrounded him and asked.

"How's it going, Mr. Yun? Is the fish monster dead?"

"Don't let it come back. Our town is full of ordinary people and we can't fight monsters."

Yunji smiled and comforted the blacksmith and his son: "Don't worry, they are all cooked."

Hearing that the fish monster was well cooked, the blacksmith and his son finally let out a sigh of relief, and then thanked Yunji profusely.

"It's all cooked? Is there a fish monster in the small lake?" It took the old blacksmith a while to come to his senses, and he was confused.

"No wonder so many people drown every year. It turns out it's the fish monster!" Niu Da said angrily.

"Thanks to you, sir, for getting rid of the demons in our Denglou Town. You saved the poor, and you are so righteous." The old blacksmith didn't know what to praise. His eyes were full of tears and he was choked with sobs.

They saved not only the blacksmith's family, but also the entire town. If they didn't take action, there would probably be no survivors in Denglou Town in a few years.

"You're welcome. It's not like I've worked in vain. Since I worked hard most of the night, how about the thirty taels of silver forging the knife are waived?" Yun Jida said.

"Sir, you are joking. Even if you give us money, we can't take it. Niu Da goes to the restaurant and orders a table of good food and wine. Go quickly!" The old blacksmith told his son to order the food. Yunji was not polite and went to the restaurant to have a big meal.

Dayton.

After eating and drinking, Yunji inquired: "There are rivers, lakes, or other water bodies near Denglou Town."

"No, except for the seaside which is a few days away, there is no water even half a month's journey around Denglou Town." The old blacksmith has also traveled extensively and knows the nearby terrain very well.

"No water? That's weird." Yunji frowned slightly.

The small lake outside the town is stagnant and not very big. Normally, it is impossible to breed a lake of fish monsters. Unless there are waterways at the bottom of the lake connecting the surrounding rivers and lakes, it is possible to attract monsters from the rivers.

In an ordinary small stagnant lake, it is rare to have one or two fish monsters, and it is impossible to raise so many fish monsters.

Unless there are other reasons that turn the fish in the lake into monsters.

Yunji looked out the window and towards the tall lantern tower.

"The lantern tower hasn't been lit for many years," Yun Ji said.

"It's old. It should not have been lit in the past hundred years." The old blacksmith also looked at the lantern tower and said: "But this lantern tower is very solidly built. It is always there despite the wind and rain. It is considered a small town.

Landmark, some merchants often joke that although the lantern tower in Denglou Town cannot guide ships, it can guide horse teams. If you see the lantern tower from a distance, you will know that you have arrived in the Kingdom of Wu."

When he mentioned the lantern tower, Niu Da became more energetic and said: "I climbed up there secretly when I was a child, and accidentally knocked over the candlestick. I don't know if the lamp oil in the iron lamp ran out. The lamp oil was very strange, and it actually had a scent."

"The lantern tower is so high and old. Climbing has been strictly prohibited in the town for a long time. You actually climbed it. You really don't know your life or death!" The old blacksmith cursed, but Niu Da didn't take it seriously. He chuckled. Although climbing is prohibited,

But most of the naughty children in the town went there.

"There is still lamp oil in a lamphouse that has not been lit for a hundred years?" Yun Ji asked curiously.

"Yeah, I was also confused at the time, so I didn't dare to tell anyone about the candlestick that I spilled." Niu Da said, scratching his head apologetically.

"Causes and consequences." Yunji looked at Niu Da and said meaningfully: "It seems that it is not an unreasonable disaster. If the fish monster is the consequence, and you, I am afraid it is the cause."

Yunji's words made the blacksmith and his son even more confused. They didn't understand why the fish monster would be blamed on Niu Da.

"When you're full, let's go to the lantern tower."

Yunji walked out of the restaurant as he spoke, waving his hand casually, and the sheep immediately followed him obediently without shouting, as if these sheep could watch what they were saying.

The blacksmith and his son were secretly amazed, saying that an expert is an expert. Even the way they drive sheep is different. Others use whips, but others just wave their hands.

Niu Da led the way, and the old blacksmith accompanied him. The three of them arrived at the lantern tower at the edge of the town.

Looking up at the tall lantern tower, Yunji took some rough measurements.

Close to a hundred feet.

The lantern tower is like a tower, made of bluestone, with a circle of spiral staircases in the middle leading directly to the top of the tower.
