At night, the village is very quiet.

Most of the people in the room were asleep, and only the patrols remained, walking along the route over and over again.

The small river in the middle, reflecting the lights on both sides, the water moved slightly, distorting the firelight.

As time went on, the fluctuations became bigger and more intense, like a big fish wagging its tail inside.

However, this is not over, the ripples are getting more and more, gradually turning into a whirlpool, followed by two, three......

A series of whirlpools appeared on the surface of the water, but they did not make the slightest sound.

The people patrolling the shore did not notice anything wrong, and walked around boredly.

Even if I occasionally glanced at the water, I only glanced at it casually, and then I withdrew my gaze.

"Hmm-"

Li Ning was still standing on the balcony, and suddenly noticed a slight change in the air, and the temperature seemed to drop a lot suddenly, making it even colder. He instinctively looked towards the river, and when he saw so many whirlpools, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and his face suddenly changed.

Suddenly there were so many whirlpools, and I realized that it was really weird.

Immediately, all the attention was focused on it, and the eyes were staring at it.

With the passage of time.

The whirlpool originally appeared in the middle of the creek.

But it began to move slowly towards both sides of the riverbank.

When the first whirlpool approached the shore, a pale hand with the silt at the bottom of the river stretched out little by little from the water without making any movement. Immediately after, there was a head covered with hair like aquatic plants, just clinging to the surface of the water, slowly raising its head.

Because his back is to Li Ning.

So I can't see the front clearly.

But there is definitely a problem.

"It's an evil spirit. Li Ning was just about to shout loudly to remind everyone to pay attention, but he looked back at the tired crowd.

The originally open mouth slowly closed, and then sighed silently.

He knew that everyone was tired, after all, they had come so far.

If you wake up the sleeping crowd at this time, you will definitely not be able to sleep at that time.

After thinking about it, he decided to solve it alone, and immediately dodged and quietly left the balcony.

He landed directly on the ground below the house, just as a patrolman passed by, and was suddenly struck like this.

I was so frightened that I almost jumped up, and the torch in my hand fell to the ground and went out because of the shaking of my hand.

"Shhhh Li Ning glanced at them and said in a low voice.

"It turned out to be the little brother, in that case, let's go back. ”

"Scared me, it's a little brother!"

"Good work!"

The patrolmen came back to their senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then they all nodded and turned to leave.

Li Ning watched them leave, then picked up the extinguished torches on the ground, and then walked to the river bank step by step.

The closer you get to the river, the softer the ground becomes, and if you step on it, you will have a footprint, and there will be a slight clicking sound.

Almost as soon as he approached, all of a sudden, all the whirlpools disappeared and came to an abrupt halt.

Even the one who had just crawled out of the water immediately shrank into the water as if he had never seen before.

Look at the water that suddenly returned to calm.

Li Ning raised his eyebrows, he didn't have any sense of fear, he walked directly to the water's edge, bent down and looked inside.

With the naked eye, of course, you can't see anything clearly, after all, it's in a dark environment.

But when you escape into the three-color vision, the water is immediately clear.

The heads, like the hair of aquatic plants, stayed quietly in the water.

It's like a turnip.

Some of them also raised their heads and looked out through the water.

It just collided with his eyes.

You look at me.

I'm looking at you.

Li Ning looked at it for a while and then looked horizontally, from left to right, all the way to the farthest point on the right, where he couldn't see it. He found that the whole river, especially near the village, was almost full of such heads. There must be more than a hundred, densely stacked together.

If that's right, the water spirits in the water, the evil spirits, should be the people in this village or nearby who have drowned. I didn't expect that there would be such a large number at such a late hour. And it seems to have deliberately waited for a while, deliberately allowing himself to wait for others to rest before appearing.

However, he had one thing that he was very puzzled about.

That is, since he is a water ghost, why can he go ashore?

As far as I know, it is absolutely impossible for the evil spirits in the water to come ashore.

In other words, this is not a water ghost at all, but an evil spirit that deliberately hides in the water. Li Ning thought thoughtfully.

Sure enough, in the world after the natural disaster, anything can happen.

Even the original rules seem to have changed.

And for ordinary people, this change is very fatal.

The evil spirits in the water after a while.

Suddenly they began to gather.

And the gathering place is on the bank of the river where Li Ning is located.

It seems that they have taken it as their prey.

Although there is only one person.

But mosquito legs are also meat.

"It's a pity you met me. Li Ning shook his head regretfully.

If it's someone else, or the place doesn't have its own.

Then it is estimated that most of these people in the village will die.

Only Long Wu and the others may be able to escape from here.

But now it's different.

With his existence, these evil spirits will never succeed, and no one will want to kill them.

"Huh, there seems to be a familiar one among them!" Li Ning deliberately waited for these guys to approach as if he hadn't found anything, and suddenly saw a little to the left, a little on the edge, there was a head that looked more familiar.

Seems to be one of the people in the previous team.

One of the disciples sent by the Zhoushan Sect.

However, he appears to have escaped with a few others.

I didn't expect to die in the water in the end.

"It seems that these evil spirits are distributed throughout the river, and they are using this location to harm people. "Li Ning almost understood, and already knew what was going on.

Wow –

Ripples appear again.

But this time it's very dense.

It's almost all over the place.

That is Li Ning's feet.

And then in the ripples.

One by one, swollen ghost hands just stuck out of it.

Trying to grab him by the feet.

I want to be dragged into the water.

"It's almost all here, and it's just enough to solve it all at once. Li Ning grabbed the extinguished torch in his right hand, shook his left hand against the water, and the power of the void appeared, and immediately, a large number of vines quickly stretched out from inside, directly into the water, and wrapped around the heads.

Whoa—

The next moment.

The movement in the water began to get louder and louder.

It's like there's a lot of fish wagging their tails.

It's very intense.

Syllable!

Bang Bang Bang!

With the sound of explosions, it continued to sound.

One by one, the water ghosts kept disappearing.

"Huh?"

"What's going on?"

"Is there anything in the water?"

"There seems to be someone on the shore!"

The patrol on the other side of the river reacted only when they sensed the movement.

Then he immediately approached the river with a torch and looked to the opposite side.

I just happened to see the originally fluctuating water suddenly calm down.

Only Li Ning was left standing alone at the water's edge.

"It turned out to be a little brother!"

"Why don't you rest so late?"

"Is it convenient?"

I was relieved when I saw it clearly.

One by one, they looked curiously.

Li Ning chuckled: "It's nothing, it's just that I can't sleep and come out for a walk, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

"I see!"

"Let's keep patrolling!"

"Let's go!"

After receiving the reply, the patrolling man nodded.

Then the patrol resumed.

"Then there shouldn't be any trouble today. Li Ning whispered, then turned around and walked back.

As soon as he walked uphill, he looked up and saw Long Wu standing on the balcony, looking at him at the moment.

There was confusion and inquiry in his eyes.

Li Ning knew what he wanted to ask, and immediately jumped on the balcony, and then said, "It's just a little episode." ”

"Has it been completely solved?" Long Wu had just reacted, so he was very concerned.

"If nothing else, it should have been done. Li Ning nodded.

"If I don't want to patrol all night, I always feel like it's not very safe here. Long Wu said seriously.

"There's no need, just keep me alone. Rest assured, there will be absolutely no problems. Li Ning waved his hand.

"I just came out and I had a problem, and I was really worried about what would happen after that. Long Wu frowned.

"What's the use of worrying, in such an environment, if there is no strong person or spirit being, it can't be called safe. For example, your Zhoushan, Chujia's canyon cave. It seems to be safe, but it's not like something has gone wrong. "Li Ning actually thinks that the trouble on the Chu family's side is a little bigger.

They barely leave the door.

Other words.

I've been in the cave.

It's fine for a short time.

Once the time is long.

All sorts of problems will arise.

If someone dies.

That's where the trouble began.

And.

Don't think that if you hide it, you won't find it.

To know.

Evil spirits can pass through walls.

Zhoushan is such a remote place is still found.

Although there are mysterious people in this who are fueling the trouble.

"Alas. Long Wu sighed.

"In other words, the mysterious person should know the news of our departure, right? So could it be that he has rushed to Zhoushan with evil spirits now?" Li Ning has always felt that there is an internal response of these people in Zhoushan, that is, spies, so he guesses that there may be a problem in Zhoushan at this moment.

But even if it does, it can't be helped.

There's no way he's going back.

Although there are still dozens of innocent people out there.

But, it's their own choice.

Some people choose the right one and survive.

And some people choose the wrong one and die.

Although a little cruel.

But that's the reality.

"I don't know, but will the mysterious man come after us with evil spirits?" Long Wu said in surprise.

"Even if it's useless to chase and kill, I'm here, unless they are the top kings, they can't be my opponents at all. Li Ning said confidently.

Relying on the scorching white flames.

It is completely possible to confront any strong person below the Nine Heavens.
