Tan Jiajia was listening carefully to Zi Tong talking about that past event, when she suddenly heard him suddenly change the topic.
"Okay, it's almost time, we should go."
Tan Jiajia raised her head in confusion and asked, "Where are you going?"
A strange light flashed in Zi Tong's eyes, and an invisible demonic force spread out from his body:
"Of course it's about catching monsters."
…
Along a narrow and winding river.
The night wind blew by, and the weeds on the shore made a "rustling" sound.
It's midsummer, and occasionally one or two fireflies will fly out from the rotting grass and dance under the moonlight, adding vitality to this quiet environment.
A firefly seemed to be tired from dancing, so it stopped on a thin leaf to rest for a while.
At this time, a white and tender hand quietly covered her face.
At the moment when the hand was about to succeed, the firefly sensed the crisis and flapped its wings to escape from this dangerous place.
"Ah, escaped."
Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Tan Jiajia couldn't help but make a sound of regret.
Zi Tong, who was standing next to her, just watched her behavior without saying a word.
Tan Jiajia then stopped playing, looked at the gloomy and dark surroundings, and asked, "Is this where the demon lives this afternoon?"
Zi Tong nodded, acquiescing.
He was ordered by the Taoist sect to investigate a missing boy case, but he always had no clue.
Today, I happened to see Wang Ziming being captured by this monster, and she and he found many clues from it. Only then did I follow the clues and find this place.
At this time, he suddenly heard Tan Jiajia asking himself:
"You said that the monster lives under the water, but there are countless rivers in this city, big and small. How can you be sure that he is really here."
Zi Tong glanced at her and said lightly: "Because I am a monster, I can be sure."
Tan Jiajia was choked, but she forgot about it.
The other party is a monster, so he naturally has his own merits.
Seeing her like this, Zi Tong explained again: "When I fought with that monster before, he got a lot of algae on him. This kind of algae can only be found in this place."
He said, suddenly taking out a ball of green goo. At the same time, he stretched out his right hand and grabbed the void on the river.
Another mass of the same object flew from the river into his hand.
Tan Jiajia took a look and found that the two kinds of algae were indeed similar, except that the latter one was fresher and still stained with water.
She nodded, then made a trumpet shape with her hands, put it to her mouth and shouted: "Monster, come out quickly and die."
"..."
Zi Tong was quite speechless at the way she scolded Shanmen.
And her shouting voice did have some effect.
Bubbles of different sizes suddenly appeared on the originally calm river surface.
Immediately afterwards, a loud voice came from the bottom of the river:
"Who's being arrogant here?"
"Coming, coming." Hearing this voice, Tan Jiajia immediately became excited. Even the water jets coming towards her from the river turned a blind eye.
Zi Tong had a rare look of helplessness on his face. He waved his hand, and eight talismans came out from his cuffs, surrounding Tan Jiajia from eight directions.
This time, the water column was naturally isolated from the outside, and the corners of Tan Jiajia's clothes were not wet.
Zi Tong glanced at her and said, "Just wait here for me."
"oh."
Tan Jiajia looked at the eight talismans floating around her, blinked, and nodded obediently.
Judging from the talisman illustration that Zitong passed to her, it should be composed of eight super-powerful defensive talismans.
Could it be that this monster is very strong?
She thought while looking towards the river.
The bubbles on the river are getting bigger and bigger, and at the same time, a small whirlpool suddenly appears in the center of the bubbles, as if something is about to come out of the river.
However, the thing’s head hasn’t had time to pop out yet——
"Thunder!"
There was a loud roar, and lightning as thick as an arm came as expected, hitting the thing's head solidly.
Crackling...Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhing tripping... !
The sound of electric current and the shrill screams of monsters echoed along the quiet river bank.
At the same time, a strange smell of barbecue entered Tan Jiajia's nose.
She recovered from the shock, took a strong breath, and muttered: "It smells so good!"
And the next second, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water and landed in front of her.
Tan Jiajia took a closer look and realized that the monster was actually a fish monster. No wonder it smelled so good.
This fish was more than one meter long. Because it had just been struck by lightning, its whole body had turned into black coal, and its tail was still flapping.
Looking at the giant-shaped fish in front of her, Tan Jiajia's stomach was aroused.
She swallowed her saliva and said to Zitong quite spinelessly: "Zitong, can this monster be eaten?"
Zi Tong glanced at her and stepped on the fish demon's face: "Wait a moment, I have something to ask him."
"Okay." Tan Jiajia made an OK gesture.
When the fish demon lying on the ground heard the conversation between the two, it flapping even more violently.
It's just that his head was stepped on by Zi Tong, so he struggled for a long time but couldn't get away.
He could only cry weakly: "Don't eat me, my meat is not delicious."
"Ha, who are you kidding? You smell so good." Tan Jiajia immediately exposed his lie.
Zi Tong also stepped on the fish demon's feet with some force, and said coldly: "Tell me, why did you suddenly attack humans."
Yes.
Only then did Tan Jiajia think of business. She also wanted to know what was going on.
The fish demon spoke tremblingly: "I...I was also coerced by others and had to do it."
"Who coerced you?"
Tan Jiajia couldn't help but widen her eyes, wanting to hear him continue.
"yes……"
Before the fish demon finished speaking, he suddenly let out a shrill scream.
A black flame appeared out of thin air on his body and quickly burned him to ashes.
The whole process only took a few seconds.
By the time Tan Jiajia and Zi Tong reacted, the place where the fish demon originally lay had turned into a pile of ashes.
A gust of wind blew and the ashes were scattered everywhere.
Tan Jiajia was shocked: "Zitong, why did you kill him before he finished speaking?"
The expression on Zi Tong's face was also ugly: "I was not the one who just made the move."
"Ah?" Tan Jiajia said in surprise.
"If it's not you, then who is it?"
Zi Tong glanced at her and said solemnly: "The flame just now is the ancient evil fire - the black flame of burning karma."
"Burning black flames!?"
Tan Jiajia chewed on these four words. The next second, a trace of disbelief suddenly flashed in her eyes, and then it turned into hatred.
"That's it!"
