NFBE Chapter 237: Pangjiatun River Monster
Chapter 237: Pangjiatun River Monster
Lin Shen and his group had nothing to do for the time being because they didn't know what the remnants of Qionghua would do next.
As they walked, they came to a village with about thirty households, but there was no sign of life at all.
Although Qi Nongxia felt very strange, Lin Shen and his group were somewhat used to it.
After all, since I entered the world, I have never encountered many normal villages, and there are always some problems.
There was a stone tablet at the entrance of the village, inscribed with the words "Pangjiatun". Lin Shen and his companions were surprised. Before they even entered the village, about 20 or 30 people, men and women, young and old, walked out.
Lin Shen stopped an old man and asked, "Uncle, what happened? You look like you're going to flee?"
The old man waved his hands repeatedly, unwilling to speak. But an old woman next to him saw this and said, "Are you from out of town?"
Lin Shen and the others answered yes repeatedly, and the old woman said, "My surname is Li, and I am the third child in my family. Everyone calls me Aunt Li San.
You may not know that there is a river to the north of Pangjiatun. In recent years, that river has become very turbulent and has already swept away more than ten people."
Lin Yueru said, "So what?"
Aunt Li San continued, "Not long ago, a witch came and said that the river god was upset and wanted to marry a wife.
Not only would we have to sacrifice a young girl, but we would also have to pay a large tribute. We quickly took our daughter and ran away, hiding outside for a few days."
When they heard about the villagers marrying the river god, they immediately got angry. Lin Yueru said, "What a mess! The river god is marrying a wife."
Lin Shen thought: Although this is a world of immortals and heroes, with many gods, ghosts, and monsters, this kind of thing is indeed a bit absurd. Even the river god is getting married.
But if we don't take action to solve the problem, it will not be a good thing. Otherwise, this village will become a dead place in no time. Either it will be swept away by the river, or it will become the "wife" of the river god.
Qi Nongxia tugged at Lin Shen's sleeve and said, "Master, please help them. They look so pitiful."
Lin Shen actually wanted to intervene and asked, "When does your 'marriage ceremony' begin?"
Aunt Li replied, "Three days later."
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the river and check the cause first."
So Lin Shen and his companions followed Li Sangu's instructions and came to the restless river. Sure enough, the river was very turbulent and they would be swept into the water if they were not careful.
Lin Shen cast a spell to help them avoid water, then walked into the water. After entering the water, Qi Nongxia found that she could breathe freely in the water. She was very puzzled and asked, "Master, what happened?"
Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, I gave you a water avoidance spell so that we can move freely in the water."
Qi Nongxia said "Oh" and said, "So that's how it is. Master knows a lot."
Lin Shen internally complained: "Oh, I've revealed too much in front of my apprentice. What if she pesters me to teach her everything? After all, these skills are given by the system, there's no way to teach them." Never mind, I'll just take it one step at a time.
They searched around at the bottom of the river when suddenly a giant turtle appeared. It was about 15 feet tall, about 30 feet long, and completely black.
Lin Shen immediately became alert, ready to call out the World-Destroying Demon Blade or the Star Spirit Sword to fight it.
At this time, the giant turtle said, "Everyone, please don't do anything!"
Qi Nongxia said, "The giant turtle...the giant turtle started talking."
Anu said, "Sister Nongxia, you'll get used to this kind of thing after seeing it so many times."
Lin Shen did not lower his guard. He put his left hand behind his back, ready to strike, and asked, "What species are you, and what is going on with this river flooding?"
The giant turtle said, "I am just a turtle that lives at the bottom of the river and has practiced for a hundred years. The flooding of the river was not caused by me.
A while ago, a sword fell into the river and was picked up by a black fish spirit. It used the sword to commit evil, dragging many innocent villagers into the river and letting it eat them.
Lin Shen was afraid it was lying, so he pointed his finger at the giant turtle's head and began to read its memory. After a while, he was sure that the guy was not lying, so he led everyone to find the black fish spirit.
As he was walking, he heard a "hahaha" laugh. Lin Shen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a guy with a fish head and a human body, holding a long sword, rushing towards him with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Seeing this, Lin Shen and Zhao Linger gathered their spiritual energy and fired several wind blades. The black fish demon waved its sword to block the wind blades fired by Lin Shen and Zhao Linger, but the shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind it were not so lucky and were cut in two by the wind blades.
The black fish demon landed at the bottom of the river, pointed the tip of his sword at Lin Shen and the others, and said, "I am living well here, why are you here?!"
Lin Yueru said, "You are the one who caused trouble in the river?"
The black fish spirit said, "Yes, it is this king."
Lin Shen snorted coldly and said, "You keep calling me 'this king' and 'this king' all the time. Who do you think you are? You are just an idiot who only sees the world from a narrow perspective and is self-righteous."
The black fish demon said, "With you, I will poke seven or eight holes in you."
After saying that, the black fish demon stabbed at Lin Shen with a long sword in his hand. Jiang Wan'er pulled out the Frost Sword and threw it into the air. After pinching her fingers and chanting a spell, the Frost Sword flew towards the black fish demon. The black fish demon was startled and instinctively used the sword in his hand to block.
Lin Shen took a look and saw that the sword in the black fish demon's hand was six feet and seven inches long, green as jade, with a piece of gold and stone inlaid on each side of the hand guard, and a round head at the end. It was obvious at a glance that it was a good sword.
The black fish demon swung his sword and pushed the Frost Sword aside, while Jiang Wan'er activated her spiritual power and the Frost Sword continued to fly towards the black fish demon. The black fish demon used the sword in his hand to block the attack of the Frost Sword.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, the black fish demon gradually felt exhausted and was stabbed in the chest by the Frost Sword. The sword in its hand also fell to the ground.
The black fish demon covered its wound and retreated step by step. Lin Shen ignored it, walked up to it, picked up the long sword on the ground, and waved it twice in his hand.
The sword was very agile in his hand, and he couldn't even feel its weight. The words "Spirit Wind Sword" were written on the sword.
Lin Shen looked at the black fish spirit and said, "It's time to send you on your way. Be a good demon in your next life."
Lin Shen waved his arm and heard a "click". The black fish demon's head and body were immediately separated. Seeing this, the other shrimp soldiers and crab generals immediately fled in all directions.
Zhao Linger and the others walked up to Lin Shen. Lin Shen handed the Lingfeng Sword to Qi Nongxia and said, "Nongxia, give it a try."
Qi Nongxia waved it casually twice and said, "Master, this sword is really light."
"do you like it?"
Qi Nongxia didn't say anything, just nodded. Lin Shen said, "This sword is for you."
Qi Nongxia was stunned, and after a few seconds she exclaimed "Ah", unable to believe her ears.
Lin Shen continued, "When you go out, you always need a weapon. I think this sword is suitable for you, so you can take it."
Jiang Wan'er also said, "Sister Nongxia, just take it."
Qi Nongxia bowed and said, "Well... Well, Nongxia thanks the master."
Lin Shen picked up the black fish demon's head and led Zhao Linger and the others out of the water. The villagers of Pangjiatun were waiting on the shore.
Seeing that Lin Shen and his companions came out safely, Li Sangu asked, "Everyone, have you figured out what happened?"
Lin Shen picked up the black fish monster's head and said, "It was this black fish monster who did this.
(Pointing to Jiang Wan'er) Wan'er has already chopped it off. It's fine now.
As for that river god marrying a wife, just chase that witch away."
Li Sangu and the others didn't fully believe it at first, but when they saw the turbulent river slowly become very calm, they believed Lin Shen's words. Li Sangu and the villagers knelt down in front of Lin Shen and the others, saying, "Thank you for saving our lives."
Lin Shen helped Li Sangu up and said, "You are embarrassing us. We are just helping others when we see injustice. Villagers, please stand up."
The villagers all stood up, and Li Sangu said, "Sir, please stay for a day so that we can repay you."
Lin Shen thought for a moment and said, "Sorry to bother you." Li Sangu and the villagers led Lin Shen and his group towards the village.
