Chapter 19 The Monster That Eats Children
"rise!"
With Song Ziyang's shout, a spiritual sword came out of his hand and flew into the air, instantly transforming into a giant sword that could carry hundreds of people.
The giant sword buzzed and slowly landed on the ground.
Song Ziyang took the disciples of the five major peaks to step onto the hilt of the sword, took the sword to the sky, broke through the clouds, and soon left the Wanjian Sect and appeared dozens of kilometers away.
Only cultivators who have reached the late stage of Qi Refining Stage can move with their swords.
Most of the disciples who went down the mountain to do the mission this time were only in the middle or early stage of the Qi Refining Stage, and there were only a few in the late stage.
Moreover, the sword control consumes extremely spiritual power in the body, and there is not much spiritual power in the Qi Refining Realm.
So this Uncle Song’s giant sword became their way to go.
When they arrived at the first village where monsters were infested, Song Ziyang commanded the giant sword to land, handed the first mission to the three disciples of Jiuxia Peak, and said seriously: "The monsters in this village are at most only at the mid-stage Qi Refining Period, and you three are enough to deal with them. Give you three days. In three days, no matter whether the mission is completed or not, you must leave and gather at the North Gate Square of Luoyan City."
"Yes! Uncle Master!"
The three disciples of Jiuxia Peak agreed respectfully, then got off the sword and walked into the village.
The giant sword rose into the air and continued to move forward.
When you arrived at the second village, Song Ziyang looked at Luo Fei and the other two and said, "The monsters in this village may be in the middle stage or in the late stage. You can try it first. If you can't take it down, three days later, go to Luoyan City to make a decision. Remember, don't force it, your life is the most important."
"Yes! Uncle Master!"
Chu Yifeng bowed and took Luo Fei and Qian Yueli to the sword.
Su Yan looked at Luo Fei's back and was reluctant to let go. She wanted to remind him to be careful, but she felt it was too presumptuous and had to give up.
The giant sword rose again and continued to move forward.
Chu Yifeng took the two of them into the village, found the village chief, explained his purpose, and was immediately warmly entertained by the village chief.
The village chief is an old man in his sixties. His hair is gray, he is leaning on a crutch, and his body is hunched, looking quite old.
"Three immortals, the monster often appears at night and eats children. According to the villagers I saw, the monster has a pointed horn on its head, red scales on its body, and a tail is dragged behind it. When walking, it shakes and sways. It looks terrifying and makes the laughter of a child..."
The village chief described the monster with a pale face, then took out a red scale tremblingly from the drawer and said, "This scale is the one that fell from the monster, let's take a look."
Chu Yifeng carefully took it in his hand, observed it carefully, and handed it to Qian Yueli, and asked in confusion: "I have never seen such a monster, junior sister, have you seen it?"
Qian Yueli shook her head gently.
Chu Yifeng was about to put away the scales, but Luo Fei reached out and snatched them under his nose and smelled them. Then he looked up and saw a cup of hot tea on the table. He immediately walked over and threw the scales into the cup.
When Chu Yifeng was about to stop him, his scales were already immersed in the water. The tea in the cup suddenly made a "whistle" sound, picked up a splash of water, and then it seemed to be boiling, rolling violently.
The old village chief was startled and said, "This...this..."
Soon, the boiling stopped, and the tea inside suddenly decreased rapidly, and then all disappeared!
The red scales in the cup became even brighter as blood, looking extremely weird.
The old village chief was so scared that he retreated repeatedly.
This thing is so terrifying that he actually put it in the room and played with it from time to time.
"Seventh Junior Brother, do you know this scale?"
Chu Yifeng asked immediately.
Qian Yueli's eyes flashed brightly in the dim light, looking at the boy in front of her tightly.
Luo Fei poured the scales out of the cup and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the scales of the Dragon-Leaping Demon Carp."
"Leaping Dragon Demon Carp?"
Chu Yifeng was stunned when he heard this, looked at Qian Yueli next to him, and said, "Why have I never heard of such a monster?"
Qian Yueli whispered: "I have never heard of it."
Luo Fei played with the scales in his hand and explained: "It is said that there is a dragon gate at the deepest part of many waters. The water monsters who have been cultivated can become demons as long as they leaps through the dragon gate, and easily travel between the water and land. The dragon-leaping demon carp is just a very low-level little monster."
It was the first time Chu Yifeng and Qian Yueli heard these things, and their faces were full of surprise.
"Seventh Junior Brother knows a lot."
Chu Yifeng was sincerely admired, paused, and said with a serious expression: "However, according to Uncle Song, the monster is probably in the middle or late stage of Qi refining, so it cannot be considered a little monster. We must be careful."
Luo Fei looked at the village chief who was so scared that he was pale and asked, "Is there a river or lake near this village?"
The old village chief hurriedly said, "Some, some, just one mile from the west end of the village. There is a river. The river water is very deep and several people can drown almost every year, not only children, but also adults."
Luo Fei's eyes flashed and he said, "Take us to have a look."
The old village chief showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and raised his crutch and said, "The road is not easy to walk, and I am not convenient for my legs and feet. Otherwise, I will go to the village to ask someone to lead the way for you. However, at this time, I guess everyone is preparing supper."
It was already dusk, the sun was about to set, and smoke in the village was raising, and it was time to cook.
Chu Yifeng immediately said: "There is no need for village chief, it's not too far a mile, we can just go by ourselves."
The old village chief said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, I'm useless, I can't help the three immortals, hey."
"It's okay, you just rest at home. It's best to notify the villagers first. Don't go out tonight, stay at home and close the door."
Chu Yifeng reminded him and took Luo Fei and Qian Yueli away.
The three of them came to the river in front of the sunset.
The river is wide, with fields on both sides, winding like snakes at the beginning and end, and I don’t know where the water flows. The water surface is turbid and the depth is not visible.
"Junior Brother Luo, the dragon-leaping demon carp you mentioned can really appear in such a river?"
Chu Yifeng asked with some doubts.
This is just a very ordinary river, and the water quality is very poor. For monsters, it is not a very ideal place to live.
Qian Yueli suddenly walked into the grass beside her, picked up something from the ground, and said, "Senior Brother, look."
Chu Yifeng hurried over and looked carefully and found a piece of red scales.
He suddenly changed his color and said, "It's exactly the same as the village chief's scale! That monster is indeed hidden at the bottom of the river!"
After saying that, with a "clang", he pulled out the sword behind him and shouted at the turbid river: "Monster! Why don't you show up quickly!"
Luo Fei turned around helplessly and prepared to leave.
This senior brother has such a simple mind, and he has been practicing for so many years in vain. Do you think that the monster is raised by your family? If you ask him to appear, he will appear?
"Wow!"
At this moment, a wave suddenly flew out from the river surface, and then a big fish with bright red all over jumped out of the water and shouted sharply: "Who is calling you grandpa?"
Luo Fei paused and his mouth twitched.
