Hearing what these water ghosts said, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
After these villagers in Dahu Village died, they turned into water ghosts and would rather not be reincarnated than harm others.
With this alone, I don't know how many people are better than me.
"Don't worry, this water monster won't be at large for a few more days. I will definitely get rid of this monster for the villagers of Dahu Village and give you justice and freedom."
Li Xiuyuan didn't know how to comfort these unjust souls who died in vain, so he could only ensure that the water monsters were eliminated for them as much as possible, so that such tragic scenes would never happen again.
The water ghosts didn't know whether what Li Xiuyuan said was true or not, but they still knelt down gratefully and then slowly retreated into the lake and disappeared.
Watching these water ghosts retreat, to be honest, he felt somewhat unsure of himself.
It is not difficult for Li Xiuyuan to get rid of the demon. The difficulty lies in the fact that the demon is a water demon.
The water monster is hiding in this big lake. How can we get rid of it if it doesn't show up? Even if it does show up, the water monster is also proficient in water properties, and after all he is only a body of flesh and blood. Even if he has the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, if he falls into the lake
, I’m afraid the result of feeding the water monster is inevitable.
"My cheap master said that among the evil spirits and ghosts in the world, the ones I have to worry about the most are the demons. Among the demons, the Five Poison Demons and Water Demons pose the greatest threat to me, and the rest are not worthy of fear."
"I didn't understand what the master meant before, but now I understand."
Looking at the large lake in front of him, Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly, thinking about how to eliminate demons from the villagers of Dahu Village.
Walk along the lakeshore and think while walking.
Suddenly, a young and serious girl's voice floated along with the breeze on the lake.
"Fight the monster, fight the monster, kill you bad monster."
A thin four-year-old girl with two braids, shabby clothes, and a thin body was holding a small bamboo pole and slapping the water.
The girl's face was pale, her body was wet, her eyes were round, and she was a bit cute.
However, there was only a trace of anger on her little face at this moment, and she kept slapping the water with the bamboo pole, as if she wanted to kill the water monster underwater with the small bamboo pole in her hand.
"She's Xiaozhanzi's sister."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly remembered what the beggar boy said before, saying that his four-year-old sister heard that her mother was eaten by a water monster, and then angrily took a bamboo pole and went to the lake to fight the monster.
As a result, I never come back...
He saw Xiao Zhanzi's sister always standing with her feet in the lake and never stepped a step ashore.
Obviously, the girl died and became a water ghost.
"Young Master, it's late at night, go back and rest." Tieshan next to him saw Li Xiuyuan standing motionless and couldn't help but remind him after a long time.
"No, I want to stay here." Li Xiuyuan murmured.
His eyes were always on the four-year-old girl in the lake.
Tieshan followed Li Xiuyuan's gaze and saw only a green waterweed beside the lake, swaying in the wind, constantly crossing the water, causing ripples.
Apart from that, there is nothing.
"Fight the monster, beat you to death, you bad monster..."
The girl's voice still echoed on the lake. She waved the bamboo pole, which was only one finger thick, and slapped the water with all her strength. Several times, she almost fell into the lake due to excessive force.
But what she didn't know was that she would never be able to kill the monster, and she would never be able to get to the shore.
I don’t know how long I stood by the lake and watched.
In the end, Li Xiuyuan only saw the little girl slapping the water all night, fighting monsters all night, and finally staggering and falling into the lake. With a few ripples, she never appeared again.
The rooster crows and the sky becomes brighter.
One night passed.
Li Xiuyuan stood by the lake for a whole night. Because the humidity near the lake was relatively high, his hair and eyebrows were stained with dew, but he suddenly didn't notice it.
Tieshan was very loyal and stayed by his side, but because he was too bored, he leaned against a tree by the lake and took a nap.
"Wow~!"
Suddenly, in the center of the big lake, under the clear water, a huge black shadow swam out from the ground. A dark fish tail swayed and jumped out of the water. It was as big as a small wooden house. With this,
With a flick of the fish's tail, a huge wave suddenly rolled up on the lake. This wave was more powerful than expected and actually formed waves around it.
At the same time, a strong wind carrying the stench of the lake was raging on the lake.
Making waves~!
Li Xiuyuan, who suddenly came back to his senses, saw this scene and this word came to his mind.
"As expected, he is a water demon with good manners. He is not simple." Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
As the waves rolled up, all kinds of fish and shrimps under the lake surfaced with their bellies turned, and then a huge black fish rushed out, opened its big mouth and swallowed all the fish and shrimps.
He saw that this black fish was different from the ordinary black fish. In addition to being huge in size, it was also covered with ferocious scales and had a pair of green eyes that exuded an evil and ferocious light.
When the black fish was eating, it seemed to notice Li Xiuyuan on the shore. Suddenly, it gave up eating fish and shrimp, turned around and swam quickly towards Li Xiuyuan.
"Beast, do you dare to go ashore?" Li Xiuyuan stared at it coldly, without any fear.
In the big lake, a hundred Li Xiuyuan are no match for this water monster. Once pulled into the water, even with the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, they can only feed the water monster.
But if he were on the shore, he could even kill a tiger, let alone a snakehead fish that landed on the shore.
Blackfish swam over quickly and saw Li Xiuyuan standing motionless by the lake, still daring not to cross the water.
All the magic power of the water demon can only be exerted when it is in the water. If it goes ashore, its strength will be greatly reduced.
This black fish seemed to be a little wary of Li Xiuyuan. When it was about three feet away from him, it stopped. Its black and ugly head surfaced from the water, and its two fish tentacles were like a pair of adult arms, playing with the nearby water plants.
You's eyes stared at him with greed.
"Want to eat me?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Blackfish seemed to understand Li Xiuyuan's words, and opened its huge fish mouth, revealing its ferocious fangs.
Can fish grow teeth?
What has become a spirit cannot be inferred based on common sense.
"Wha~!"
Suddenly, the black fish opened its mouth and spat out, and a stream of lake water condensed into a water column and shot toward Li Xiuyuan.
"Touch~!"
The spit seemed to be a little crooked and landed on a stone on the shore. The huge stone was blown to pieces by the water of the lake. If it fell on a person, how could he still be alive?
.
"This beast can actually do this." Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed slightly at this.
"Wha~!"
But then, the black fish seemed to realize that attacking on the shore was different from attacking underwater, and was a little uncomfortable with it. He immediately adjusted it, opened his mouth and spat out, and another jet of water sprayed towards Li Xiuyuan.
This time there was no deflection, it was a direct hit.
If he was hit, Li Xiuyuan's head would be smashed to pieces.
"Master, be careful." Tieshan, who had just woken up, was shocked when he saw this scene.
But Li Xiuyuan didn't move away at all, he just stared at the black fish demon coldly.
An unbelievable scene appeared. When the water column that could shatter stubborn rocks fell in front of him, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. It instantly became weak and powerless, and fell directly from mid-air.
He fell down and wet his shoes.
The black fish's green eyes looked at Li Xiuyuan with human surprise.
"Tieshan, get my golden goose bow." Li Xiuyuan suddenly shouted.
Blackfish realized something was wrong, or realized that Li Xiuyuan seemed to be an unusual villager and not easy to prey on, so he immediately wanted to turn around and leave.
Fortunately, when he went out last night, Tieshan was more thoughtful and brought a waist knife and a golden wild goose bow, as well as some weapons for self-defense.
Seeing that Li Xiuyuan was okay, Tieshan first breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly took off the Jinyan Bow from his back and handed over the bow and arrows.
After Li Xiuyuan received the bow and arrow, he took the bow and shot without hesitation. He drew the three-stone bow for a full moon.
"Wha~!"
As soon as his fingers loosened, the arrow flew out instantly and submerged into the lake.
Although the black fish demon had realized something was wrong, he turned around and wanted to leave, but the water at the lake was a little shallow, so he couldn't dive into the water immediately. He had to swim to the deep water first before he could dive in completely.
"Pfft~!"
The water surface splashed with waves, and the wolf-fang arrow accurately hit the black fish's eye.
Immediately, scarlet blood overflowed from the water, dyeing the lake red.
The black fish demon was in pain and ran away frantically from the shore, rushing into the deep lake.
Li Xiuyuan shot two more arrows, but unfortunately the black fish had already fled far away, and the remaining two arrows did no harm to the black fish demon.
In the end, he could only watch the black fish demon escape into the big lake.
