He walked along the river bank for a while, and soon saw the path leading to the water dwelling, which was a wooden walkway extending to the middle of the lake.
At the end is a wooden pavilion. Compared with the old buildings of Lanruo Temple, it is much better to live in the water. The pavilion is in the shape of eight rhombuses, with painted red pillars and windows with light.
The lights were brightly lit inside, and a woman's figure flashed among them.
Qin Bai went there in no hurry. There was movement in the grass around him. He turned around and couldn't help laughing.
Several corpses were walking towards him slowly. They looked a little scary, but in fact they were not much faster than the old man walking downstairs.
Qin Bai spat into the palm of his hand, then raised the hammer and effortlessly lifted several corpses physically.
After killing these corpses, the noise they made might also usher in others, but he didn't plan to stay on the shore for long.
As the name suggests, Dryad Granny is a giant tree spirit with roots in the mountains. The trees in the mountains can become the enemy's eyes, so wherever there is soil, he feels that it is not very safe.
Living in the center of the lake, surrounded by water, there is nothing safer than here in this ghostly place called Lanruo Temple.
But now there seems to be ghosts in the pavilion, so we should save them first.
Qin Bai strode towards the pavilion without concealing his intentions at all. With the magical power of forging iron, ordinary monsters may not be his opponents.
Because he hadn't started fishing yet, and the countdown to the sign-in mission hadn't started yet, he had a headache thinking about it. Unless he could kill the tree demon grandma, he would have to stay in Lanruoli for a while.
The pavilion is not large, with a wooden table in the middle, and three women sitting next to it. They cover their mouths with gauze, and show their charm vividly with every frown and smile.
There were plates of exquisite dishes on the table, including all kinds of delicacies from rivers and mountains, but there were many flies flying on them.
The women were not angry. They swallowed the flies together with the food and took a sip of wine from time to time.
Suddenly a breeze blew, and the candlelight on the table flickered. At this time, the dishes revealed their true colors, and they turned out to be the body parts of some corpses.
And it was obviously a little stale, it exuded a disgusting smell, and the cups they drank from were also human heads.
The areas of the woman that were not illuminated by the candlelight had turned into rotten skin, and the white bones could still be seen inside. She had long since lost the alluring appearance she had before.
For these women, these human flesh are rare delicacies. They grinned from the corners of their mouths to their ears, stuffed the human flesh into their mouths randomly, and made sounds of satisfaction at the same time.
Footsteps sounded, and the resolute Qin Bai walked towards the water dwelling with a hammer in hand. He did not hide the abundant vitality in his body at all.
When the female ghosts saw Qin Bai, they didn't show the slightest panic. Instead, they couldn't help but their eyes lit up, and the rotten meat around their mouths suddenly no longer smelled good.
Such abundant energy and blood can only be found by accomplished warriors. Even if you get close and take a whiff, it is a bit intoxicating.
"Nie Xiaoqian, Nie Xiaoqian... they lured us sisters away for a big fish." The woman's voice was extremely hoarse, and if you looked closely, most of her neck was already rotten.
The other two people immediately echoed softly, but their eyes were fixed on Qin Bai who was walking towards the water dwelling.
"You are not allowed to eat alone. Even if most of it belongs to grandma, the rest is enough for us sisters to share."
"That's right."
Then the three female ghosts relit the candles, and the body parts immediately became delicacies again.
Then one ghost played the piano and two ghosts started dancing. At the same time, a light sandalwood incense was lit in the pavilion, and a few candles began to flicker on and off.
However, Qin Bai remained unmoved, and the wooden board made a creaking sound with every step he took. At this time, the female ghost already felt something bad in her heart, and her eyes began to look frightened.
Qin Bai was naked from the waist up, exuding an evil aura, and carrying a hammer as he walked straight towards him, his appearance was indeed scary.
The expressions of the three female ghosts began to stiffen. They were muttering in their hearts and their movements could not help but slow down.
"Women only affect my efficiency in blacksmithing."
Qin Bai spat in confusion, and then with a little scrutiny in his eyes, he saw the female ghosts repeatedly jumping between people and corpses under the candlelight, and suddenly realized that Nie Xiaoqian was indeed pure and refined among them.
"You look like this, I'm afraid Bangyi bought a standing ticket overnight and ran away."
After finishing speaking, Qin Bai bit the tip of his tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood mist, which fell on the faces of the female ghosts.
His blood already contains yang energy, which is very harmful to ghosts. The female ghosts immediately covered their faces, white smoke rising from their fingers.
Qin Bai first smashed the hammer down, hitting the female ghost's head right in the middle. This move was prepared for attack, and the other party was not on guard at all, so her head was dented immediately.
However, the female ghost had not been completely transcended yet. She just fell to the ground, apparently badly beaten by the sudden attack.
The remaining two female ghosts reacted, let out a shrill scream, and rushed over with their teeth and claws bared. Most of the flesh on their faces was corroded, and the white bones could be seen.
"I have to say, it looks much more pleasing to the eye."
Qin Bai used his true energy calmly, and a dozen paper figures fell down from his sleeves. When they saw the female ghost, they rushed towards her like cats smelling fish.
The hammer fell again, and the soul of the female ghost who was originally the candle in the wind was immediately scattered.
Qin Bai didn't have the slightest pity. None of these female ghosts had more than a dozen lives in their hands, even Nie Xiaoqian.
The remaining two female ghosts were already frightened. One of them was entangled by the paper man and could not escape. The other ghost had taken this opportunity to go out into the water.
Qin Bai took out the bloody paper man and flicked it out with his fingers. It turned into blood and fell directly on the female ghost who wanted to escape.
A heartbreaking sound sounded, like the sound of the body being bitten bit by bit. The female ghost slapped her body in panic, but the bloody paper man had already penetrated into her body.
After a while, the water dweller also fell into silence. Qin Bai couldn't wait to walk to the edge of the pavilion, took out his fishing rod and threw the fishing line with the maggots on it into the water.
His movements were not considered skillful, but he was somewhat involved in his previous life, and if he could imitate them, he at least looked professional on the surface.
The system's prompt sounded: "Fishing has officially started, the sign-in countdown has begun, and the points mall has been unlocked."
Before he could open the points mall, the fishing rod suddenly weighed heavily.
Qin Bai quickly pulled it up, but only an empty hook was left, and the maggots on it had long since disappeared.
He continued to hang a maggot and threw it into the lake. After a few breaths, there was only an empty hook left.
