During the chat, Xuan Haiyue learned that the mayor agrees with planting cotton in Manas Town. After all, there is a history of cotton planting here, as well as technology. As the mayor, he is obliged to lead the people to become rich.There is only one thing that has always troubled him, that is, two months ago, monsters began to appear in the Manas River. It is said that those monsters still eat people. Some bold and curious young people went to the river to find out the truth, but no one People come back, just last month, a man risked his life and ran back. Before he died, he said that he saw a sheep-like monster eat his companion.

After the news spread, people in the town panicked, and the mayor ordered that no one in the town should go to the Manas River without authorization.Fortunately, the monsters of the Manas River only haunted the river and never appeared in the town, so the town was still peaceful and happy, but the mayor still frowned.The economy of the Western Regions was originally very backward, and agriculture is the foundation of people's livelihood, and the most needed thing for the development of agriculture is water. No matter what you want to grow, you need water. Manas River is the only river in Manas Town. If the river can't get close, Then what to use to develop agriculture, and if this continues, people's water use may become a problem.

Xuan Haiyue attached great importance to this matter. She promised the mayor that she would resolve this matter personally and return Manas Town to a harmonious and stable world. It is even more obligatory.The mayor was very moved and thanked God for sending noble people to save them.

Leaving the mayor's house, Xuan Haiyue, Du Chun, Qingmu and Cangmu feel that this matter is of great importance, not only related to the development of the Xuan family, but also affects the lives of the people in the Western Regions, they must take immediate action, so they decided to come tonight Check out Manas River.

The Western Regions under the night is very cold, the endless desert, from time to time a biting cold wind blows, the wind blows, the sand flies, a little lonely, a little romantic, but more empty and desolate.

The sky is cloudless tonight, and the bright and clear moon can be seen. The silver light sprinkles all over the earth, bringing softness to the endless desert.The Manas River is flowing quietly, and under the moonlight, the water is sparkling and sparkling, like a luminous silver ribbon, winding and gurgling to the distance, nourishing the dry land.

Manas Town is not far from Manas River, only about three miles away.Xuan Haiyue, Du Chun, Qing Mu, and Cang Mu rode horses and rode quickly through the desert, and soon came to the vicinity of the Manas River.

They got off their horses five feet away from the Manas River, and the four of them walked slowly towards the river.Except for the sound of trickling water, the whistling wind, and the sound of footsteps and breathing, there is no other sound to be heard.

"Huh? Strange." Xuan Haiyue said.

"What's wrong, master." Cang Mu asked with concern.

"It's too quiet, it's terribly quiet. The further you go to the river, the less you can hear the sound." Xuan Haiyue said vigilantly.

"Yeah, master, I also feel weird. I always feel that something is wrong, and my chest feels very depressed." Du Chun frowned and said cautiously.

"Everyone, be careful, the water in this river is very strange." Aoki said cautiously from behind.

"Look at the river!" Cang Mu suddenly pointed to the river and said eagerly.

I saw a goat-shaped monster with four horns walking by the river, Xuan Haiyue used Yin-Yang eyes (Yin-Yang eyes, also known as the power of spiritual vision, which is a unique ability of Taoists) to look at this creature carefully.

The monster seemed to notice that someone was coming, and when it turned around, it saw four people standing not far away.Suddenly, it stomped on all fours and attacked Xuan Haiyue and the others like lightning.

"Master, be careful!" Aoki shouted.Cang Mu and Du Chun immediately stood in front of Xuan Haiyue, making an attacking posture.

Xuan Haiyue stood still, secretly activated her spiritual power, and saw a white light flash in her pupils, and the sheep-shaped monster immediately stopped attacking.

"Everyone be careful, this monster is a monster from the demon world, one of the subordinates of the four evils, but I don't know which monster among the four evils is the master behind it." Xuan Haiyue looked at the four-horned sheep-shaped monster named Earth Shen Sheng said.
