Chapter 61: Blood Pool at the Mouth

The moonlight was dim, shining on the river bank at the river mouth, but it was shimmering with a layer of misty ripples.

The estuary of Heshen Village is a tributary that leads to the South China Sea. This tributary is the largest channel into the sea. Except for the 800-li Dahuang River flowing east and west, almost all other water flows into the sea from here.

Therefore, sacrifices are held here every year, and this river has thus gained the famous name "Fuxianliu".

At this moment, at the river mouth of Shangheshen Village, there are densely packed but disorderly thatched houses, tent houses, and very few small yellow mud houses.

However, this river mouth is not a place to live at all, because it is too close to the South China Sea, and the water flow here rises and falls with the breathing of the Dragon King.

At this moment, under the moonlight, all the tents and houses were immersed in river water that was up to their calves.

But today's waves are a little too bright, revealing a hint of crimson.

The whole town seemed to have been bathed in blood, and not a single sound could be heard.

"Sir...sir..."

Sun Changshan's face was pale, but he trembled as he said, "The one who is usually in charge of the activities for the River God is his sixth son."

"Sixth Master is a tough guy who doesn't like to be disturbed. We can't spoil his fun at this time."

Beside the river mouth, Ji Ran followed Liu Yu'an and Xun Yu, letting Sun Changshan lead the way, and came under the moonlight.

"Didn't you bring a gift?"

Liu Yu'an's face was cold, an expression that was extremely rare for a playboy like him.

"But……"

Sun Changshan shivered as he looked at the dozen or so strong men carrying wine jugs. These men who usually looked ferocious now looked like women. Some of them had wet trouser legs and smelled of fishy things.

These evil guys almost started fighting when they heard that we were coming here!
However, he didn't expect that the young man in armor could break the neck of his best servant like a chicken with just a pinch and a buckle.

The rest of the people immediately turned from jackals into Shiba Inus, being honest and trembling as they carried the drinks.

"But, sir!"

Sun Changshan fell to his knees and burst into tears, "Master, the reason I was able to return alive after seeing Sixth Master the other time was because, in addition to the drinks, I also secretly brought young boys and girls to entertain Sixth Master. If there were only drinks this time, I really wouldn't be able to go!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Sun Changshan's eyes lit up with joy as he said, "The daughter of the Qian Wu family, the daughter of the Qian Wu family!"

"Sir, let me take that little girl there! Let me take her there!"

"I've already spent two taels of silver to buy her!"

pat!

Two taels of silver fell to the ground, bounced, and hit Sun Changshan's knee.

Liu Yu'an, however, looked down at him, bent over, and his forehead almost touched Sun Changshan's head.

"Now, these two taels of silver will buy your life."

"I……"

Sun Changshan was about to say something, but he heard Liu Yu'an say, "The monster ate you, so can't I eat it?"

Sun Changshan shuddered.

He had been to the county town and even the prefecture town. Don't look at him as a domineering person in the village, but compared with the county government and the nobles' houses, he was still a novice.

When he harms people, he just kills them.

And the noble man really eats people's hearts and livers with wine.

“I’m going! I’m going!!”

At this moment, frightened by Liu Yu'an, Sun Changshan could only stand up tremblingly and led a team of weak-legged servants into the river mouth that had been soaked by the tide.

"OK?"

Liu Yu'an's face was filled with excitement at the moment. He walked up to Ji Ran and said, "Master Ji, do as you said and force this old man to go find the gathering place of the monsters."

Ji Ran glanced at him sideways and said, "I don't think you're acting."

"Hey, that's not true. I've been a bit of a bully in the city, but it was always against landlords."

Liu Yu'an said frankly, "How about asking Master Xun to use that magic mirror to take a look at me?"

"Yes."

"how?"

"Hard to say."

"..."

Liu Yu'an scratched his head, but didn't interrupt the silence. They turned around and saw Sun Changshan walking around the messy buildings at the river mouth twice before finding the largest house.

The house was located at the mouth of the river, closest to the water, but it was the only one with a brick and tile yard.

"The real owner has been found."

Ji Ran drew his knife and said to Xun Yu and Liu Yu'an, "You two wait here now."

"With me."

Xun Yu shook her head, holding the sword, and shook her wrist. Her hands and trouser legs were now bound with a belt, and her hair was tied up tightly with a hairpin.

Standing under the moonlight, his eyes were as clear as water, yet he looked heroic.

"Today, let Brother Ji see whether I, Xun Yu, am just a show-off."

Ji Ran thought about the ability of the immortal robe bestowed upon him. With the protection of the gods, he should not be captured by a hairy monster like last time.

"Row."

……

As Sun Changshan walked in the cold water, countless vicious thoughts flashed through his mind, wondering how to frame the county magistrate so that Sixth Master could eat him.

So as to get rid of this trouble!
However, after thinking it over, he sadly discovered that no matter what ideas he had, he had to get past Sixth Master first in order to survive.

At this moment, when I walked to the gate of the mansion, I saw that the door had been pushed open, and streams of bright red blood were flowing out of the yard along the river.

puff--

The sound of pushing the door open was not loud, but it caused ripples on the ground.

There is an L-shaped corridor leading to the yard from the gate. As soon as Sun Changshan pushed open the door, he saw a pair of eyes as cold as snakes and scorpions.

It was a pig dragon sitting on a stone bench in the yard.

This pig dragon was wearing a suit of armor with mountain patterns and a water-dividing fork hung from his waist. At this moment, he was holding a woman's head in his right hand, licking the split top of her head with his huge tongue.

"Hey, who am I thinking of?"

The Pig Dragon placed the head on the table and laughed, "It turns out to be Mr. Sun!"

"Sixth Master was just saying, 'The amount of meat you prepared is enough, but it's so dry. I'm going to ask you for two boys and girls to moisten my throat tonight!'"

At this moment, there were four or five empty-eaten heads of various sizes placed on the stone table.

Four pig dragons were eating and drinking in the yard.

As a group of people rushed in, there was some rustling movement in the yard.

But they were women and children.

There were no less than sixty or seventy people in this yard, all kneeling on the ground in dishevel.

When these people heard the noise and saw someone coming, they all looked up with hope, but they heard the familiar old man nodding and bowing, waving his hand, and filling the wine jar for the pig dragon in the yard, saying: "It must be done, it must be done."

"Today the new county magistrate arrived and asked me to pay a special visit to Master Liu!"

After these words were spoken, the yard fell into dead silence.

Those eyes that originally held a glimmer of hope suddenly became ashen.

boom!
A child's skull smashed open the main hall door, and a huge tail passed by, revealing a pig-dragon about a meter and a half long lying on the horizontal wooden bed, pinching the neck of a half-grown child and sucking on it.

"Old man, are you trying to trick me with these dry firewood with not much meat on it?"

"I heard you recently got a few young men and women from other places?"

"Spare me a pair, or I'll eat you tonight!"

A huge figure stood up, bent over and walked out of the main hall.

It wore no armor, only a short axe, stained with sticky blood. Everyone kneeling around it closed their eyes in despair. They knew that today, no one could save them.

The county magistrate even sent people to curry favor with this...descendant of the river god.

Bang!
At this moment, the door was kicked open and a cold and low voice came out.

"I wonder if the two of us can get into the mouth of this river god?"

Under the moonlight, in the blood.

The armored young man walked in with a knife in hand, and the girl behind him, dressed in tight clothes, held a long sword in her hand and stood firmly in front of the hall.

The blood pool was calm, reflecting only the moonlight.

 The second update is coming soon, please keep reading!
