All the evil beasts in the world, I feed on demons and monsters

Chapter 132 Entering the Thieves' Lair

Tianjin has abundant water resources.

Although we have experienced a severe drought, the Dragon King recently showed his mercy and sent down several heavy rains in succession, which immediately put an end to the drought of the past two years.

The Baihe, Haihe, and Shuihe rivers, three rivers flowing into the sea, constitute the three largest water systems in Tianjin. Furthermore, in this world, all three rivers are vast and powerful, especially after the recent heavy rains, which have revitalized the previously shriveled and dry waters, making them almost as vast as the Yangtze River in the modern world.

Ji Ran, Tian Heng and the other two followed behind the team, watching the wedding procession heading towards a tributary of the Haihe River in the distance.

The place where this tributary joins the Haihe River is not far away, with surging waves and a hazy sky covered with mist. The water vapor mixed with the dawn mist and rolled under the blue-black sky.

The bride's escort moved forward quietly. These men were all from nearby villages and towns. The Hai River was closest to the Bohai Sea and had the most prosperous aquatic life of the three rivers.

Since the Ming Dynasty, local people have begun to worship the Shui people.

In peaceful times, these aquatic creatures would remain calm as long as they offered incense and tributes. If something truly bizarre happened, the imperial court could suppress the evil with a single edict.

But in recent years, the imperial court has been in turmoil, foreign invasions have occurred, rebellions have broken out, and natural disasters have occurred. These water creatures have also begun to cause trouble, and the imperial court has been busy with its own affairs, so how can it care about these monsters that only trouble people on the river banks?
Seeing that Ji Ran and his partner were determined to have a meal and drink some hot wine, the old man followed their horses and explained the reason for taking a concubine in detail.

Nan Jun was originally a water creature on the Haihe River, but due to the arrival of warships in recent days, he was forced to a tributary and caused trouble.

The people depended on the water for their livelihood. Even though the drought was over, the crops in the fields hadn't yet sprouted, so they naturally sought refuge in the water. But after the arrival of the Southern Lord, if anyone didn't offer sacrifices to him and went into the water, a massive horizontal beam with a human face, several men thick, would appear and smash the boat into pieces!
Then another blow, causing the person who fell into the water to have his brain burst!

The people had no choice but to offer sacrifices.

But the bark of the surrounding trees had been eaten away, so what could be offered as an offering? Only people could be offered.

At this moment, Li Yan, who was on horseback, was just a child, and only heard the novelty, not noticing the bloodiness in those words. He asked, "Father, when the red-haired devils came a few days ago, did this Nan Jun protect your village?"

This village is not far from Langshan. Before the Battle of Langshan, the Boxers had not gathered together yet, so they braved the hail of bullets to tear up the railway, destroy the railway, and delay time.

While the coalition forces were waiting to build the railway, they would go to the surrounding villages and kill people for fun.

The old man looked gloomy and said, "Hey, no."

After saying this, he fell silent.

Ji Ran just sneered when he heard it.

This beast is no match for that pig-dragon! At least he can still dominate the Fuxianliu, eating people to maintain a false peace in his area. But this aquatic beast is a scoundrel among monsters. He has taken many benefits, but at heart he is a coward. He has a lot of strength, but he can only show off his power on the helpless people!
Without saying a word, the group walked to the edge of a tributary, where a floating bridge was swaying precariously.

Ji Ran and Tian Heng also dismounted, leaving Li Yan to watch over him. They weren't really here for a feast; the boy was still recovering and digesting the effects of the medicine. It would be safer to leave him here.

Li Yan agreed immediately. He was not ignorant and knew that if he followed them, he would probably cause more trouble than help. Besides, it was not like they were going to kill the devil, so he was not that interested.

As the sedan chair crossed the river, Ji Ran and Tian Heng looked at each other.

When the wedding procession stepped onto the bridge, the faint sound of gongs and drums echoed all around, but when they looked around, they could only see the dark river water in the dimness.

The Yang Fire on Ji Ran's body suddenly turned green!

Rhino photo!
Under the green rhino light, he saw a large group of strange aquatic creatures rushing out from the Haihe River in the water!
Some resembled old turtles, some resembled children, and some had long hair. Some rode in carriages wearing red clothes, while others played gongs and drums and were dressed up for weddings. There was a lot of variety.

The leader was an old turtle wearing a golden jacket, with hands like chicken claws, and a face that looked somewhat like a human. When he was swept by the rhino light, it was like being stabbed by the sun in the dark sky. He immediately bared his teeth and came with angry eyes!

"As I bid you farewell, why should I take photos of you?"

Ji Ran ignored him and just watched quietly.

Level: 3

Skill: Innuendo: Swallow the mud and sand in the river into the poison sac, then open your mouth to spray it out. If it hits the body or shadow, it will be highly poisoned. In mild cases, the patient will convulse and be unable to move. In severe cases, the patient will die from the collapse of tendons and bones!

Skills: Tongue Sword: The mouth of the water snake has horizontal flesh, which can swallow and spit out three steps. It is as fast as lightning and as sharp as a sword.

……

puff--

The evil spirit suddenly opened his mouth!
A grain of sand, invisible to the naked eye, suddenly flew out! Ji Ran seemed to sense something and took a step back. His palm instantly turned pitch black and pinched in the air!
A grain of sand with a foul smell, no bigger than a grain of millet, was being held in the palm of his hand.

"Ah."

What a water creature that eats offerings! If this grain of sand hits an ordinary person, he will die suddenly!

Ji Ran dropped the gravel, and the blackness on his hand faded, condensing into a pitch-black dot in his palm. That was the unconsumed tiger and wolf energy, attached to his hand, which could resist all evil energy.

If necessary, you can let the tiger and wolf energy spread from the palm of your hand to the weapon again.

Ji Ran took two more steps and looked down into the water, but there was nothing there. Only a series of shadowy figures were walking towards the other side.

At this moment, the sedan chair landed at the bridgehead, and a large temple appeared vaguely in front.

"Brother Tian, ​​would you like some turtle soup?"

Tian Heng was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Sure, I wonder if this temple has any liquor that can remove the fishy smell and add onions and ginger to enhance the flavor!"

Da da da!
At this moment, the group of people who were escorting the bride lowered their heads and ran as fast as they could! The old man came back, looked at Ji Ran and the others, and said with a bow, "Two generals, let's go back together."

"This temple doesn't have clay figurines, but living monsters."

"I see blood on your bodies and murderous eyes. You two are good soldiers who can kill bandits. Don't die here!"

At this moment, the old man stretched out his right hand and made a thumbs-up, clasped his left hand on his right elbow, and his whole body swayed, his spirit soared!
Tian Heng's expression immediately turned serious. He also clasped his fists and said, "Senior from the Gelaohui?"

The old man's posture is exactly the gesture of the Gelaohui. The Gelaohui is from Sichuan and Chongqing. The fact that they can appear in Tianjin is because they are left by Dong Sanying!

"I don't dare to be called a senior. I'm just an old soldier."

"Father-in-law, please go first."

Ji Ran smiled and said, "I'll take the two silver coins. I have to do something."

With that, Ji Ran bowed, turned around, and walked towards the sedan chair with Tian Heng! The old man opened his mouth to speak, as if he had something to hide, but then he looked at the black water around him and retracted his voice.

Just look at the dark bridgehead and the red sedan chair.

The mist stirred and swallowed up the two people and the sedan chair completely.
