I am a living immortal.

The incense in the City God Temple is still very popular.

But it seems that with the arrival of autumn, the disaster on the lake shows no sign of stopping, but instead becomes more and more severe.

One after another, human lives were swallowed up by the lake.

Many bodies were washed ashore, but more sank to the bottom of the lake forever or were eaten by the fish in the lake.

The fish in Xunyang Lake are getting bigger and bigger. There have even been cases of big fish attacking fishing boats. The bad environment and strange big fish have made the fishermen miserable, but they have no choice but to go to the lake to fish for a living.

Those big families can stop the fishing team, but they can't.

As the death toll grew, the county magistrate of Yuannan was at a loss as to what to do. He could only order the construction of a lake god temple as soon as possible to provide some spiritual comfort to the fishermen.

Survive this lake disaster.

A magnificent temple of the lake god is being built at an incredible speed, and the nearly two-meter-high statue of the lake god has been half built. Of course, this god is in the image of a human.

Hundreds of craftsmen worked tirelessly day and night, and various buildings emerged and became complete like mushrooms after rain.

The county magistrate did not believe that building a temple would end the lake disaster.

But what if? Humans are ultimately powerless in the face of natural disasters and can only rely on the illusory will of heaven and hope for the protection of the lake god.

But the county magistrate did not know that this was only the prelude to a catastrophe, and that it was the lake god he mentioned that ignited this catastrophe.

Even if he knew, he would suppress it. After all, regardless of whether the people living near the lake would abandon their houses and leave because of the county magistrate's words, even if they left, how to resettle the tens of thousands of people in dozens of villages along the coast would be a big problem.

The captain looked at the sky. It had been covered with dark clouds for the past few days, and it looked like a storm was about to come.

The situation in Yuannan City is fine, but the price of fish has skyrocketed.

The higher the price, the fewer people will eat it. Fortunately, fish is not a necessity like food, and those big families don’t care how much the fish costs, they will still buy it if they need to.

But the bad thing is that there is a small plain on the lakeshore with vast and fertile land. It is the granary of the entire Yuannan. If a major disaster occurs, this place will not be spared.

By then, there will be a food shortage in the entire Yuannan, and this winter will be difficult to endure.

The disaster does not happen just once, but is a series of chain reactions. If it is summer, the flood will be followed by plague. If it is winter, the people whose houses are destroyed will have nowhere to go and will eventually freeze to death or starve to death in the cold winter.

The captain of the police brought a few people to the shore of Xunyang Lake to investigate, accompanied by Master Zheng and the coroner, because murders had occurred in several villages along the lakeshore.

The villagers were naturally very afraid of such things, and they were even more frightened because there was already a disaster on the lake.

These people died in their own homes. Their bodies were mutilated and looked like they were bitten to death by some creature. It was a very tragic sight. Some even had half of their bodies gone, leaving only the upper body skeletons.

The captain covered his nose with a cloth and looked into the house. The furnishings were simple, with a wooden table, a few chairs, and a bed. The only thing worth noting was the water stains in the house and the enshrined book "Legend of the Lake God". The low-quality incense went out halfway through burning.

The coroner is already examining the body.

Even if covered with cloth, one could still smell the stench of the corpse. Now the weather was gradually getting cooler, but the temperature during the day was still very high, and the villagers did not dare to touch it. In just a few days, it had rotted beyond recognition.

The coroner looked calm as he turned the corpse over and over again wearing special gloves, frowning from time to time.

The captain knew without even looking that these bodies could not have been caused by humans.

So he brought Master Zheng here again this time. After the incident in Linjia Village, the monster never appeared again. The county magistrate was very happy. This time when something happened on the lakeshore, he invited Master Zheng here again.

"How is it, Master Zheng?" asked the captain.

Master Zheng frowned like a coroner and kept fiddling with the compass. The compass rotated and pointed in a certain direction. He grabbed a handful of powder-like stuff from his pocket and blew it in the direction the compass was pointing.

The powder fell to the ground and actually outlined a series of footprints.

These footprints don't look like human footprints.

“This is…” The captain of the police came over and squatted down with Master Zheng.

"It's a web. It seems this is no ordinary case. Some evil spirit has crawled out of Xunyang Lake." Master Zheng said with a serious frown.

The captain agreed, saying that the water stains in the house could be explained, as well as the smell of dead fish that was masked by the stench of corpses.

Just now.

The coroner also slowly walked over. "Bad news! These people weren't caused by the same person. Um... the same creature. There are at least three different types of tooth marks, some large, some small."

"That is to say."

"At least three monsters took advantage of the flood to come ashore in search of food." Master Zheng's words gave the captain a bad feeling.

"Maybe more."

"Then what should we do?" asked the captain.

The captain looked at Master Zheng when he said this, and his meaning was clear: If you can solve it, then we will solve it. If you can't solve it, then we will leave.

Why are the things I encounter recently so weird? I always run into monsters.

This monster is beyond the scope of ordinary people. Even if the captain of the police practices martial arts and military evil spirits, he cannot defeat it. It's not that martial arts and military evil spirits are not good, but that the captain of the police is not strong enough.

The only person who could possibly solve the problem here now is Master Zheng.

If he shakes his head, then this matter cannot be done.

Thinking of this, the captain thought of Su Mu again. If the young man was there, he might not have asked this question. In the final analysis, he still did not trust this magician.

They have worked together for a long time, but in the eyes of the captain, this wizard is like a charlatan, and his opinion has never changed. Maybe he has the ability, but he has never seen it, so not seeing it is the same as not having it.

Su Mu, who was far above the City God Temple, frowned. Who was talking about him?

Then he focused his mind and decided to concentrate on honing the sword in his hand.

The broken swords surrounding him were no longer half as rusty as before, but the sharpness within them was still increasing, just to strike the most powerful blow.

The torrent of spiritual energy absorbed by several golden talismans constantly caressed the sword body.

The City God felt that the terrifying sword intent was disappearing.

But the pressure did not disappear along with the sword intent. Instead, it increased day by day, becoming stronger day by day.

Even now, it makes his scalp tingle, literally, as if the sky above his head will collapse at any time.

"According to this situation, maybe it really is possible." The City God looked at Su Mu in the sky and murmured.
