Chapter 206: Su Shis big baby, demonic beasts hiding underwater!
Hearing the chaotic shouting outside, Zhan Qingchen froze for a moment.
“Did you hear it? It seems like there are screams of demonic beasts eating people outside?”
“I heard it.”
Su Shi stared at her, “Demonic beasts eat people, but I will eat you too!”
Zhan Qingchen covered her beautiful flushed face and shook her head
How could this person say so? Su Shi didn’t care about the noise outside the window at all.
He had caught a hint of it yesterday, but did not take it to heart.
The Chengtian Continent was a fertile and prosperous land, and it was unlikely that there would be waves of beasts like the ones in Huangyuan City.
One or two demonic beasts wouldn’t make much noise.
Hugging her light and soft body, Su Shi adjusted himself to a comfortable position.
“It’s still early, sleep a little longer.”
At this moment, Zhan Qingduan felt something.
She took out a jade pendant with floating clouds engraved on it, only to see that it was emitting a luminous light.
“Sect spirit jade reacts.”
“There are disciples of Tianji Pavilion around here?”
Looking out the window, she then turned to Su Shi who was sleeping with his eyes closed.
Zhan Qingchen hesitated slightly for a moment.
Before she could say anything, Su Shi opened his eyes and sighed, “Better go and have a look, we have to make sure.”
Zhan Qingchen raised her smile, “That’s very kind of you.”
Su Shi said helplessly, “Who made you my little baby?”
Zhan Qingchen gave him a peck on the lips and blushed, “Then you’re my big baby~”
“I do have a big “baby”, I’ll show you when I have the chance.”
Su Shi jumped up, “Let’s go, if we leave early we can come back early, we can still sleep.”
Zhan Qingchen got up and followed behind.
In her heart, he secretly wondered what big “baby” this man was hiding.
The two of them walked out of the inn.
“Get out of the way!”
A stern shout rang out.
Pedestrians gave way as a group of black-clad security officers darted towards the outskirts of the city.
There were also a few cultivators following behind.
Su Shi thought about it and took out the pig head mask he bought yesterday and put it on his face.
This place was full of people from the righteous path, and the appearance of him and Zhan Qingchen at the same time would definitely arouse suspicion.
To avoid trouble, it was best not to be recognized.
The two of them walked out of the city gate.
Not far ahead was the Fengjian River, and many people had gathered on the riverbank.
The wreckage of the fishing boat was still floating in the river, and a clot of red blood was quickly washed away by the current.
“The demon beast at the bottom of the river has eaten people again?”
“I don’t know how many times this has been.”
“The river has been blocked, why are there still reckless ones who dare to sneak into the water?”
“Xuefeng City is a riverside city, blocking it for a day or two is no problem, but if it takes too long it will affect people’s livelihoods.”
The crowd spoke.
They were disciples of the various sects of the Northern Region’s righteous path.
When they heard that there were demonic beasts attacking the people, they rushed to support them.
Among them was Tianji Pavilion.
“Huh?”
“It seems that it is Chief Zhan?”
Seeing the moon-white figure walking in the distance, several female cultivators from Tianji Pavilion couldn’t help but be surprised.
Shouts of shock rang out from the crowd.
“Chief Zhan!”
“She’s actually here too!”
“With Chief Zhan here, I can feel at ease in my heart.”
Chief Disciple of Tianji Pavilion, Linlang’s top heavenly pride.
The moment Zhan Qingchen appeared, she became the center of attention.
“Greetings, Chief.”
The disciples of Tianji Pavilion bowed and saluted.
A young sister looked at her with adoring eyes and asked, “Chief, why are you here?”
Zhan Qingchen stroked her head and said, “I was on my way back to the sect and happened to stop by here.”
The sister looked at the masked man at the side and said curiously, “Then this is ……”
Zhan Qingchen glanced at Su Shi. “He is …… my good friend.”
“Good friend?”
Some people looked a little confused.
Since when did Chief have male a friend too?
At this moment, a velvet-clad female security officer with an iron ruler hanging from her waist walked over.
“Chief Zhan, I didn’t expect you to be here as well.”
The female security guard cupped her hands, “I am Jiang Tiyi, a security guard from Xuefeng City.”
Zhan Qingchen nodded, “So officer Jiang, what’s going on here?”
Jiang Tiyi explained the situation succinctly.
The Fengjiang River was the largest river in the Linlang Kingdom, flowing through almost the entire Nine Regions from north to south.
And the surrounding cities in the Fengjiang River valley were basically all prosperous fish and rice cities.
In Xuefeng City, for example, almost every household was a fisherman.
But since half a month ago, fishermen have disappeared from the city.
At first it was thought that they had been swept away by the rushing river, until someone found tooth marks on the broken planks of the boat!
It was obvious that there was a demonic beast at the bottom of the river that was devouring the fishermen!
Zhan Qingchen asked, “I wonder what Officer Jiang’s plan is?”
Jiang Tiyi said in a deep voice: “The demon beasts in this river are very cunning, and only eat human flesh, and cannot be lured with livestock.”
“Things have come to this, we can only use people as bait.”
Zhan Qingchen nodded, “It seems that this is all we can do.”
Fengjian River so wide and deep that there was no way to catch the trail of demonic beasts.
One could only lure the demonic beasts out first, and then find a way to kill them.
Jiang Tiyi looked at Su Shi.
She felt that this guy was a bit strange, but she didn’t think about what it was.
“Prepare to board the ship!”
The officers untied the ropes holding the fishing boat.
In groups of several, they boarded the fishing boats and rowed the boats towards the river.
Su Shi and Zhan Qingchen sat in the same boat.
Seeing the misty river, he tried to release his divine sense underwater.
But it could only detect a few meters away before being blocked by an unknown force.
Su Shi frowned slightly.
It always felt as if things were not that simple.
At that moment, a vast white mist suddenly rose and immediately enveloped the entire surface of the river.
The crowd was separated by the white mist, as if they were an island, completely unable to see the surrounding conditions.
Boom!
Water splashed, and a shadow seemed to break through the water in the thick fog!
“It’s a demonic beast!”
“I saw one here too!”
The river churned endlessly, and bursts of screams came from it.
Su Shi raised his eyebrows, “These ferocious beasts know how to attack one by one?”
“Dan Zhu, the mouth of the gods, exhales to remove impurities in the atmosphere. To restore and remove evil and protect the rights.”
Zhan Qingchen sat cross-legged, muttering ancient mantras under her breath.
An invisible wind swept around her, whistling and blowing away the dense fog!
Everyone’s vision returned to normal.
The only thing they could see was the debris of several fishing boats floating on the surface of the river, and the cultivators who had just been attacked, through the water, could faintly see countless points of light swimming below.
“Be careful, there’s more than one beast!”
At this point the hearts of all were pounding and they took to the air.
The huge ruler in Jiang Tieyi’s hand rose up and turned into a huge iron pillar nearly ten meters high.
It smashed into the underwater shadow with a bang!
As if a stone had stirred up a thousand waves, the calm river surface suddenly rippled.
Countless terrifying monster fish came out of the water!
They were clearly fish, but they had human limbs, their mouths were full of sharp teeth, and their red eyes looked like candlelight.
The appearance was ugly and ferocious to the extreme!
“Lantern Water Demon!”
“So many?!”
The crowd sucked in a breath of cold air.
The lantern Water Demon is a demon beast unique to the Fengjian River Valley.
They are vicious and feed on human flesh!
However, they used to come alone, but now there are so many of them!
