Pork Butcher - C88
I am already convinced of Su Zhi’s luck, throwing coins is simply throwing a face, now I am even suspecting that if I took the initiative to look for Su Zhi, it would be no different from looking for trouble with him, otherwise I would have to look for trouble to come back.
We had to fight the water ghost head-on.
This time, the reservoir is much larger than the one from a few days ago. According to the national standards, the one before was a small one, but this one belongs to a large reservoir, so finding a water ghost in such a large area is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Moreover, that water ghost should have been injured by that Dao Master.
“What should we do, it’s all water, if we go into the water, we will definitely die, the best way is to use boats,” I told Sun Yong.
“Also, we need to use iron ships. The wood boats from last time were useless, they should have one here, but we don’t know how to sail the ships, and the people driving the ships will be very dangerous,” Sun Yong replied.
As long as they could get rid of this water ghost, he promised repeatedly that he would do everything they could to kill them. In these past few years, they were all on the verge of dying, and not only were there a lot of deaths and injuries in the village, they had also caused their reputations to be completely ruined.
“Village Chief, this matter is not that simple, because we are not confident in ourselves either. The person who is sailing is extremely dangerous, and can be said to have a slim chance of survival. Before we go, it would be best for us to write our will,” Sun Yong told the village head.
Sun Yong’s words caused a few of the village cadres to explode, it was so dangerous, going there would be certain death, who would be willing to go, but we have no other way, only this way, so we can only let them think of their own way.
In the end, they thought of a way to pay a sum of money from house to house, and then buy a life, for those who are willing to sacrifice, not only could they get a huge sum of money, but they could also get help from the village in the future. When this plan came out, many people signed up enthusiastically, but Sun Yong and I shook our heads repeatedly after reading it, because most of the people who signed up were elderly, and more than half of them did not even know how to set sail, as it did not meet our requirements.
“Looks like this old man will have to earn this money. Masters, you two don’t have to choose. There are only five or six people that can set sail in the village, I’ll go!” In the end, when he was out of ideas, the Village Head stood out and said.
We were speechless because the village chief was over fifty years old and not within our range, but we couldn’t find anyone, so we had to leave.
“Village Head, let me remind you in advance, we don’t know what will happen if we head down this time, so you have to lock the cab, and don’t care about whatever you see, because those are all fake, just like how ghosts fight against walls. We will use walkie-talkies to communicate, and remember, you can only listen to our commands.” Before we go down, I reminded the Village Head.
The village chief nodded in agreement, then we stuck quite a few Spiritual Talisman in the driver’s seat.
“This reservoir is tens of thousands of mu in size, the places where there have been accidents are covered with the entire reservoir area, on this side there are more swimming and drowning, on this side there are the areas where the fish farm workers have met with mishaps, on this side of the road, the area is so large, it surpasses the average size of a water ghost, so I feel that this water ghost probably possessed something,” Sun Yong pointed at the map of the reservoir and said.
“You mean the water ghost has possessed the fish?” Other than those animals that have cultivated before, the rest of the Soul are very weak. They can’t even withstand the possession of a water ghost, this is very hard to accept.
“I know, there’s no precedent for this, so we can only make a few more guesses. What if this fish is a Fish Essence?” Sun Yong asked.
I almost fainted when I heard it. If it’s really like Sun Yong had said, then we’re in a lot of trouble today. Not only do we have to deal with Water Demons, we also have to deal with Fish Essence.
“Village Chief, slow down. First, circle around the island,” Sun Yong said through the walkie-talkie.
“Okay!” The Village Chief replied quickly and then turned around, heading towards a small island in the center of the reservoir.
When they were near the island at the center of the lake, Sun Yong said indifferently, “Sow it then.” Then, he grabbed a bag, grabbed the things inside and threw them out.
We got the village head to collect it. The farmers here have a habit of making their own rice wine, so we thought of this idea a long time ago, not to mention that the distillers grains are specially made.
This distillers grains are made of glutinous rice, and it belongs to the sun. When we mix some things with it, it will cause the yang energy of the distillers grains to explode, and when it spreads out, it is as if the water surface is covered with a layer of yang energy.
“The fish is here. This sound should be enough to alert that person.” The distillers grains are excellent fodder for the fish, so our scattering attracted a large number of fish.
Not long after that, large fish appeared and knocked into the iron fishing boats, causing them to sway for a while.
“Masters, what exactly are you doing? Why are there so many commotion? We’ve met so many fish!” Even the village head could not help but grit his teeth.
Sun Yong and I looked at each other. Feeling that it was enough, we got the village chief to stop the fishing boat’s engine. Then, Sun Yong picked up a large drum and started to beat it.
The sound of the drum was heavy, but it had a unique sound rhythm that spread along the surface of the water.
“Crash!” A dozen minutes later, the surface of the water in the distance suddenly churned as if there was a water monster lurking within. The resulting shockwave caused the fishing boat to sway.
“Master, master, what do we do? What the hell is this? Did the water ghost come?” The village chief was somewhat frightened.
“Don’t stop, continue!” When I saw Sun Yong’s forehead filled with sweat, I couldn’t help but shout out loud. Although I knew it would be difficult to use the drum beating technique, victory or defeat depended on this one strike.
A few minutes later, a wave exploded beside the fishing boat. The turbulent wave almost overturned the fishing boat, sending it flying for several meters before slamming down hard. If we hadn’t been prepared, this attack would have been enough to knock us into the water.
“Village Head, hurry! Let’s go to the island at the center of the lake! Get off the boat!” I shouted into the walkie-talkie.
There was no seat belt in the cab, so the mayor was also disoriented, but he was also a Solly. He quickly started the engine and headed for the island, which was nearby, so we rolled off the boat and ran to the island.
“Boom!” Not long after he disembarked, another wave exploded near the fishing boat. This time, the fishing boat was overturned and the Village Chief’s eyes widened. After a minute of watching it, he died.
The island wasn’t that big, it was only the size of a basketball court. After a few steps, we passed through it and walked to the center. We quickly took out the things in our backpacks and laid out a altar.
“Sun Yong, this time I’m going to cast the spell, you protect me!” I yelled at Sun Yong.
“Scram, I will cast the spell!” Sun Yong directly kicked me away, then raised the Peach Wood Sword and started chanting.
I cursed loudly, but my heart warmed because the spellcaster was definitely the one who the water ghost attacked first.
“Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling.” The Soul Absorbing Bell continuously rang, and the sound of the bell continuously rang out.
“Boom!” In less than a minute, the main character appears. A fish head directly knocks on the island in the center of the lake. The small wooden pier is shattered into pieces, and we can clearly see the water ghost’s face.
It was a catfish, the visible body was as big as a buffalo, the head was almost the size of a human, and more importantly, the eyes of the fish were extremely terrifying.
“This, this, this …” The Village Chief was so scared that he couldn’t speak. If it wasn’t for the fact that we were possessed by the water ghost earlier on, he would have probably kowtowed like a fish god.
“Evil creature, the Heavenly Dao shines brightly. You committed suicide, but instead of thinking about repentance, you ended up killing yourself, do you know your fault?” Sun Yong pointed at the big catfish as he held the Peach Wood Sword in his hand.
The big catfish rolled its eyes, revealing a look of disdain before slowly sinking into the water.
“Be careful, he’s holding back his attack!” I hastily pulled the Village Head away.
“Hua la la.” Not long after, a wave rose from the bottom of the lake and came directly towards the island. Moreover, there was a huge shadow within the wave.
“Quickly dodge it, he’s on shore!” Sun Yong roared as he quickly retreated after taking a look at the situation.
“Boom!” As the waves crashed down, the big catfish also crashed down. The island at the center of the lake immediately shook as if it was about to be smashed to pieces. We couldn’t stand still and fell to the ground.
“Pa!” Before we could react, the big catfish directly swept across the tail. We didn’t dodge in a hurry and were directly swept into the water.
“Quick, quickly go ashore!” Sun Yong shouted in alarm. On the island in the center of the lake, we still had some strength left to fight.
The village chief who was born next to the reservoir had the best water. He first climbed up the mountain to the island, then picked up an axe and started fighting with the big catfish.
However, this wound was not fatal to the big catfish, as it only aroused its anger. The big catfish opened its mouth and bit towards the village chief, and the village chief rolled on the ground in fright, escaping death.
We didn’t expect such a situation, so we didn’t prepare any weapons. We only got a steel bar that could be used as a crowbar, and Sun Yong was even worse. He didn’t have any weapons at all, he only had a dagger with him, a dagger the size of his palm.
As we joined in, the big catfish went crazy, rolling around on the island, and the few trees that were left were all crushed by it. The big catfish was bigger than four or five people.
Sun Yong also showed off his strength. He found an opening and jumped onto the big Catfish’s body, and directly stabbed the dagger into the big Catfish’s eye.
“Awoo!” The big catfish let out a strange cry, as if sensing danger, and wanted to escape back into the water. However, how could we let it escape, my steel bar took the opportunity to pierce through the fish’s tail and nail the big catfish to the ground.
As if he had gone mad, he chopped the head of the big Catfish until it was dripping with blood and the pieces of meat flew all over the place. In the end, even though the head of the big Catfish was smashed into a pile of rotten meat, he was still a demon. After that, Sun Yong went for a sneak attack from behind and grabbed the village head by the neck.
However, the village chief who had calmed down had no more strength left. He collapsed to the ground and asked, “Is it over? Is the water ghost dead?”
Sun Yong could not help but let out a bitter laugh. What he had just dealt with was just Fish Essence.
“Da, da, da” At some point in time, dark clouds had flown above our heads and it started to rain. Sun Yong and I had our expressions changed.
