Chapter 211: The Water Demon Comes Ashore
As it gets darker, the wind grows, and the calm lake ripples, lapping at the dead docks.
In the midst of the sound of water, huge heads floated to the surface, and their bulging eyes emitted a miserable green light.
Early in the morning, people went into their homes, nailed the windows and closed the doors. The family, old and young, huddled in a bed, did not dare to undress, kitchen knives and axes and everything that could be used as weapons were placed next to the bed.
Under the crack in the door, the moonlight shines through, and shadows sway.
A pair of frightened eyes looked at the door, the child's mother covered the child's mouth, and the child's father held his breath and grabbed the kitchen knife in his hand.
Syllable!
There was a slight shock at the door, and the family couldn't help but stand on end. A strange smell came in from outside, and the temperature in the room plummeted, making people shudder.
The child's father was barefoot, stepping on the cold ground, and the hand holding the handle of the knife turned white.
Tears fell from the child's mother's eyes, staring closely at the back of the child's father.
Syllable!
The wooden door shuddered, and the dust fell down.
This gate has been reinforced, but no one dares to guarantee that this gate can block the monsters outside.
The child's father raised the knife in his hand and was ready to fight to the death.
A few days ago, black smoke suddenly rose from the lake, and a foul smell filled the air.
The youkai rushed out of the lake and rushed directly to the dock to open the killing ring.
The Jiangnan Navy Division stationed near the dock was vulnerable, and although it was numerous, it did not organize any effective means of resistance at all, and in just one night, the entire army was annihilated.
Those merchants also fell into bad luck, all the ships were capsized, and some disappeared directly.
However, it cannot be said that the Jiangnan Water Division is completely useless.
They fed those monsters, and the people who were on the docks that day did not suffer much.
After that, it caused panic in the whole city.
Wealthy and powerful businessmen have moved farther away from the water, which directly led to the rise of housing prices in those places, and the people who had no money had to stay, and all they could do was to strengthen the doors and windows and close the doors.
What was once the most prosperous area in the city is now a dead place.
Syllable!
There was a loud bang, and all the people in the room couldn't help but tremble, their faces turned pale, and large beads of sweat seeped out of their pores and slid down their bodies.
The door, with a crack on it, and miserable green eyes are peering through the gap.
The beds, old and young, were covered with quilts.
The child's father was standing on the ground, clinging to the wall, his lips trembling.
A strange cry of "quack" came from the mouth of the youkai outside the door, and his eyes were removed, revealing two large nostrils, sniffing hard.
All the people's hearts sank.
Most youkai have a keen sense of smell.
They can avoid the gaze of the monster, but they can't avoid the monster's sense of smell.
Wooden door, moaning overwhelmedly. Another crack appeared on it.
The youkai roared excitedly, and its sharp claws gripped at the door panel, easily leaving deep marks on it.
The child's father had a look of despair on his face, his lips opened and closed, and he said goodbye to his wife and children silently.
Burst!
The blood-stained tip of the knife pierced through the door panel, protruding a section.
In an instant, it shrank back again.
Foul-smelling, dark red blood spurted in through the cracks and spilled onto the ground. Then, there is the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
The father of the child, who was holding a kitchen knife and preparing to fight to the death, was stunned, stuck to the door, and looked out through the gap.
Outside, under the moonlight, a man and a knife flashed in his eyes.
And on the ground, there were one corpse after another, these corpses were strange, some were half-human and half-fish, some seemed to be water ghosts, some were humanoid with scales, and some had more than double-digit tentacles on their bodies.
But no matter how strange they are, at this moment, they are just a corpse, and the biggest harm, that is, causing contamination, if not dealt with in time, may even cause a plague.
Before dark, Devil Cry failed to enter the city.
By the time he reached the city gates, it was already dark, and the gates had long been closed.
He made a big circle, intending to enter the city by water. But I never thought that the Bone City was already in such a critical situation.
The sailor, nowhere to be seen.
The people of the Heavenly Master's Mansion are also nowhere to be seen.
Let hordes of youkai run rampant in the streets, knocking on doors and killing people, devouring human flesh and blood.
Faced with this situation, he could not ignore it.
I don't know if it's because of the need for merit, or because of his own heart, he didn't think much about it, and rushed forward with his sword.
The bell, as he wished, did not make a sound.
The unjust spirits who had been arguing and shouting also stopped arguing and closed their mouths, so that Ghost Cry could fight with peace of mind.
The ghost cried and hunched over, like a big cat, walking in the alleys and rooftops, careful not to make a sound, slowly approaching, and then quietly approaching, evil thoughts erupted, slashed with a knife, and killed him with a direct blow.
He lifted his beloved hat on his head, the blade of the knife clinged to his sleeve, wiped off the blood stains on the knife edge, and Ghost Cry once again locked on to a target.
This is a corpse demon, and these monsters that come out of the water are the most corpse demons and fish demons.
The corpse demon was covered in blue, moss, and weeds, which served as clothes to cover its body, and its body was stench. He had no weapons, his empty hands, a pair of claws, pitch black and curved, like an iron hook.
He climbed up to the roof, peeled off the tiles, cocked his ass, and looked inside, like a flower thief.
Ghost Cry quietly came to the eaves, turned into the alley, jumped slightly, kicked the wall with both feet, stretched his ape arms, hooked the eaves, and turned over.
The ghost crying is not light, stepping on the tiles, the sound is not loud, but it is not nothing. But the corpse demon in front of him was drooling, and it seemed that he was too focused on seeing things, and he didn't notice it.
Ghost Cry quietly approached, slowly raising the knife.
Cuckoo......
There was a thunderous sound in his stomach, and the corpse demon covered his stomach, and then he felt that something seemed to be wrong, and his stomach didn't scream, and then raised his head in confusion.
A white light, blooming out of thin air, took over the entire field of vision.
When the white light faded, the corpse demon felt the world spin, and then saw its headless corpse slowly falling.
Devil Cry caught the corpse on tiptoe and grabbed the detached head with one hand.
Then, gently lay down and let the body lie on the roof, trying not to make a louder noise. Finally, with one hand on his head, he gently placed it on the roof. Rubbing his hungry belly, he walked away.
In the house, a drop of blood fell from above, and the owner who was trembling in the house felt something dripping on the top of his head, raised his head suspiciously, and then covered his mouth vigorously to prevent himself from screaming.
The leader of a small fish spirit with a half-human tall fish head and a human body is slamming the door vigorously under the command of "chirping".
Suddenly, a black shadow fell from the sky, and the leader of the small fish spirit was poured into the back of the neck with a knife and stabbed out of the buttocks, and before he could react, he had already lost his life.
After the ghost cries and lands, he let go of the handle of the knife and rolled, threw out two flying knives, hit two small fish spirits, and then walked forward quickly, pulled out the short knife at his waist, and "fluttered" to split the head of a small fish spirit from it.
Blood splattered, and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground sounded at the same time.
Of the remaining five small fish spirits, two of them turned around, and then these two were grabbed by the big hands and touched their heads in the middle.
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the two small fish spirits wilted to the ground. The last three little fish spirits were smashing the door happily, ignoring the movement behind them, the ghost cried back, pulled out the short knife stuck in the head of a small fish spirit, and touched it......
