I am a living immortal.

Facing the captain's questioning.

Master Zheng did not speak, but was thinking about his own confidence. He knew that the captain did not trust him very much, and he also understood that if he shook his head this time, there might not be a next time.

He has to show value.

However, this time there was obviously more than one monster. Judging from the smell left in the room, these monsters were not strong, and three of them did not pose much threat to him.

But the fear is that there are more monsters than these.

In just a few breaths, Master Zheng made a decision. He'd do it! This time, even at the risk of his life, he had to demonstrate his worth. Only then would Yuannan have its own place.

When he first became a disciple, he did not want to seek immortality but to become famous while he was still alive.

Although he had been wandering around for decades without much success, he finally came to a small place like Yuannan to try his luck and finally got the position of county magistrate. If he kept refusing the position, his incompetence would be written all over his face.

This time I will fight for a future for myself.

So when he opened his eyes again, Master Zheng said to the captain with a calm expression, "Wait until night when those evildoers come ashore again, and then kill them. But I need to make some preparations."

The captain looked at Master Zheng with suspicion, but then he thought, this man can't be joking with his own life.

So he put on a smile and nodded, saying, "Master Zheng, don't worry. I'll have someone prepare whatever you need."

How could he know that Master Zheng was prepared to take a gamble.

The coroner didn't want to get involved. This was obviously not something a normal person could handle. There was no point in him staying, so he said goodbye and left.

So under the order of Master Zheng, the captains of the police and the officials all got busy.

Talismans stained with black dog blood were pasted on the doors of every household so that they would be able to know if there was any unusual movement. Then Master Zheng took out a number of magical instruments from his bag, including a compass, a bell strung with a red thread, and the sword he carried on his back.

This was passed down to him by his master.

Seeing that the constables left without any investigation, the villagers felt relieved and took out delicious food and drinks to treat them.

Especially Master Zheng.

The captain of the police and his men were also happy to see this, after all, he would be the one who would contribute the most.

Before I knew it, the sky had darkened.

The temperature difference between morning and evening is huge, especially near the lake. The damp cold wind makes everyone's skin covered with goose bumps.

The village chief specially cleared out a room to entertain a few people. When it got dark, it became very quiet outside. There was no other sound except the sound of waves hitting the lake shore.

The weather has been bad these days, and the stars in the sky have been blocked.

Several people sat together in a room.

The dim candlelight illuminated the room, and the captain of the police was alert, listening for any movement.

Master Zheng held his sword and closed his eyes to rest.

He was waiting for those monsters. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous, but since he had made the decision, there was no turning back.

Time passed little by little.

There was no movement outside. Many villagers had gone to bed early to save candles.

The world outside is quieter.

Only the room where the captain and his friends were staying was lit. Unconsciously, everyone seemed to be able to hear their own heartbeats beating with the waves. This did not seem to be a good thing.

Suddenly!!!

A pair of wet footsteps walked from the water to the shore, and then the footsteps became more and more frequent. A cold and damp breath immediately swept over the whole place along with the footsteps. Water droplets formed on the edge of the house, and a fishy smell filled the air.

In the dark lake water, dark shadows are moving towards the shore.

Fine beads of cold sweat had already appeared on Master Zheng's head.

These are not just three or four, but they appear in groups.

The lights in the house quickly attracted the attention of these evildoers. The captain of the police even stopped breathing and held the long knife tightly, because in the candlelight, dense black shadows appeared outside the window, and the terrifying and malicious eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the house.

The candle flame began to flicker.

A strange wind swept through the house, and the red bells hanging throughout the house rang.

Master Zheng forced himself to calm down. He recited the mantra in his mind, and the originally chaotic ringing sound began to become regular.

This seemed to have annoyed the demon standing outside.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Terrifying roars came one after another, and these roars were sharp and terrifying.

suddenly.

The only light went out with a snap.

In an instant, there were slapping sounds against the wall, making a creaking sound as if it would be broken in the next moment.

"bump!!!"

The door was the first to be broken, and a fishy and damp smell mixed with the smell of decay rushed into the nose.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The first monster that rushed in was burned by the rune at the door. Fire exploded and the monster was directly thrown out, and its life or death was unknown.

Master Zheng suddenly opened his eyes.

With the help of the firelight, he could clearly see the faces of these monsters. They were humanoid creatures with rotten scales all over their bodies, mouths full of fangs, no eyes, and a pair of scarlet cheeks.

These fish monsters seemed to be stimulated by the fire and kept rushing into the house.

"Evil beast!!"

Master Zheng roared angrily, pinched his fingers together, and the shaking bells kept ringing, while the red line emitted a faint light. The fish monster would feel unbearable pain as soon as it touched it, so this was a way to block it.

The crowd didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

After several rounds of charge, the red line became dimmer and dimmer, and then it broke, and the bells fell everywhere and were crushed.

Dozens of fish monsters rushed in.

"Don't panic!!!"

As Master Zheng spoke, he threw a handful of runes from his hand. These runes exploded into balls of fire, temporarily blocking the monster's path. The smell of burnt rotten flesh was even more unpleasant.

The sword in his hand was immediately unsheathed, and Master Zheng holding the sword really looked like the real thing.

The captain said without further ado: "Let's go together!!!"

The long sword blessed with rune water has special damage effects on these monsters.

The fish monster hadn't reacted yet.

One knife after another was inflicted on these monsters, easily leaving a trail of injuries on their bodies, which dissipated a lot of the fear among the people.

Especially the head constable, with the blessing of martial arts and evil spirit, he can wield the long sword in his hand as if it were his arm, and every blow can cause deep damage that can be seen to the bone.

Master Zheng was no less capable. Although he was not as skilled as the captain of the police, he also knew some martial arts skills, and with the help of his sword, he was extremely brave.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

But this also provoked a fierce counterattack from the fish monsters. The smell of blood seemed to make them go berserk. Their claws as hard as steel slapped people's bodies, leaving them bloody and mangled.

Many people are beaten into minced meat by accident.
