The night with a dark moon and high wind was deserted, and there was no starlight. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but the beach on the ground is noisy and lively at this time. Laughter, enthusiastic singing and dancing, and the blazing fire stained the nearby sea.

People who don't know pass by here and think that this place is celebrating a major holiday, but when they look closely, they find that although everyone on the beach is laughing happily and dancing enthusiastically, there is no smile on their faces, as if they are completing some prescribed task, not like they are coming from the heart, and they seem to be extremely weird and terrifying.

The scale of this celebration of the Poseidon's birthday was not small, bringing together all the men from several villages in a radius, and it was estimated that there were about two hundred people. In the middle of the crowd there were several burning fires, and in front of the crowd near the sea there was also a simple altar, which was filled with sacrificial chickens, ducks, fish, meat, fresh fruits, very rich.

Under the altar knelt down three gray-haired old men, all muttering to themselves, their faces extremely reverent. The rest of the villagers behind them all wore strange masks with red fish scales and exaggerated smiling faces. Everyone laughed, but the laughter was stiff and dry. With each chant of the three old men in front of him, he used his hands and feet together, and danced hard.

"Why are you laughing?" asked Takahata, who was hiding in the grass in the corner.

According to legend, the sea god likes others to be in awe of it, to believe in it, to like others to greet it with a smile when they see it, and does not like to see someone with fear and crying emotions on their faces, if it sees this, it will not hesitate to devour that person. That's why everyone wears a mask with a smiling face at every festival and laughs loudly to avoid disaster. Asakura replied with a sneer.

"What a youkai who likes to do great things, you haven't thought of resisting after so many years?" asked Goofy curiously.

After hearing this, Asakura Xiong's eyes seemed a little lonely, and he sighed and said: "It's not easy to resist, after all, several of our villages here depend on this sea to survive, and manpower is too small in the eyes of those monsters, if you anger this monster, then the villagers around here will starve to death." ”

"Don't worry, I'll promise this youkai won't reappear after tonight. Gao Fei said with a firm look in his eyes.

The festival of the sea god ended hastily after about two hours, and the villagers rushed to their homes in a panic, not wanting to stay longer for even a second. The beach, which had been bustling with activity just a moment ago, suddenly became very quiet, and there was no one in sight, except for the crackling of sparks burning in the fires.

The night slowly became cooler, the surrounding silence was incomparable, and the beach looked very scary under the cover of dark clouds. Aakura Yu, who was next to Goofy, suddenly became short of breath, and his trembling body made him not as calm as he seemed on the surface.

It's right to think about it, Asakura Yu is also a mortal no matter how much he says this, although he has always scoffed at this monster called Poseidon, but he can't hide the fact that he is a mortal, and in the face of unknown horrors, he will also be scared and uneasy.

Goofy patted him on the shoulder and gave him a reassuring look, and Asakura slowly calmed down.

"It's coming. ”

Suddenly, Goofy's eyes burst into a blazing light, and he muttered to himself solemnly.

Aakura was shocked, as if he was frightened, and his body was about to jump out of the grass involuntarily, but Gao Feishou hurriedly pressed him down.

This series of actions happened very quickly, and Yu Asakura, who was lying back in the grass, showed a look of shame on his face, and just wanted to apologize to Gao Fei, but Gao Fei immediately covered his mouth with one hand.

"Shhh Gao Fei looked at the sea in front of him through the gap in the grass and whispered a warning.

Asakura looked at Gao Fei with a serious and dignified appearance, and immediately nodded to indicate that he knew, feeling that Gao Fei let go of his hand, he also learned to look at Gao Fei through the gap in the grass in the direction of the sea.

"Huh, what's that?" Aakura stared at the sea with a frightened look on his face, looking like he had seen a ghost.

The dark clouds in the sky became denser and denser, and there was no moonlight, and the atmosphere in the air became more and more solemn, pressing people's chests and breathless, as if a rainstorm was coming.

Suddenly, a strong air stream blew out of thin air from the depths of the sea, stirring the air and whining like a wolf. This sea breeze not only does not have the salty smell of seawater, nor does it smell fishy, but is full of a faint smell of blood and cold air.

With the arrival of the sea breeze, the calm sea slowly rippled, and finally evolved into a surging wave, and the sea water washed the beach one by one, rolling up countless waves.

"Boom la la ......"

Suddenly, there was a strange and inexplicable sound from the depths of the sea, as if something was emerging from the sea, and it was swimming towards the beach step by step.

The sea in the middle of the night is too dark, like a beast hidden in the shadows, which makes people's hearts full of fear and unknown.

The noise grew louder and clearer, like the sound of something stirring the sea. Through the faint darkness of the night, Aakura was finally able to see a little more clearly.

It was a black shadow, a black shadow that was not like a human being, and this black shadow moved very quickly, moving freely in the sea, like a bolt of lightning, coming from the waves, and arriving at the beach in a blink of an eye.

Of course, Aakura Xiong couldn't see clearly with the naked eye, but Gao Fei's eyes were so sharp now, and the moment this black shadow appeared, he could already see his whole body clearly.

The monster was jet black, with a human-like upper body and a fish-shaped lower body, with a huge fishtail sticking to the sand, constantly sliding. If it's a mermaid's kind of scales and armor, it's very beautiful fish tail, but the tail of this fish monster is like a catfish, not only does it not have a single fish scale, but it is also sticky and smooth, which makes people disgusting.

Although the upper body of the fish monster is humanoid, it does not have the appearance of a human at all, and its mouth is cracked open to its ears, and its mouth shows sharp fangs, and transparent saliva is constantly dripping from between the teeth. The boring and messy hair on his head stood up like steel needles, and it also grew like two antlers, which made people think that this was a bloodthirsty and cruel youkai no matter how you looked at it, and it didn't even touch the sea god who protected one side.

The fish monster hesitated on the altar for a moment, but it seemed that the sacrifice above made it very unhappy, and it let out a roar like a night owl, as if it was very angry. The huge fishtail suddenly swept violently, and immediately split the humble altar in two, and swept it directly into wooden blocks, scattering chickens, ducks, fish, and fruits all over the ground.

The fish monster destroyed the altar as if it was still very puzzled, its black and sharp nose shook into the air, and then as if it recognized something, the fishtail immediately moved, turning into a black shadow and driving in the direction of Atsuta Village.

"Oops, that's the direction of Hongbei's house. That guy didn't really give his daughter away, did he?" Aakura suddenly ignored Goofy's warning and shouted quietly, his expression full of excitement and worry.

"Don't worry, let's go along. Goofy comforted, then got up and pulled Aakura and ran in the direction of the fish monster.
