”Huh？”
When Ye Qiu saw clearly the appearance of that funny face, a cry of surprise came out of his mouth.
This face was only about one foot tall and very thin like a baby. At first glance, it looked a bit like a human. but upon closer inspection, it was not a human.
Its whole body was covered with long black hair. Its hands and feet were almost the same as those of a human. Its eyes Youdaoplaceholder0 a red light and were very sharp. Its nose protruded and its mouth was very big. Besides the two tiger teeth that were chopped off by Ye Qiu’s sword energy, there were also two teeth on the upper part of its mouth.
These two teeth were sharp and long, extremely black, like two daggers, shining with a cold light.
Xiao Zhan shone a flashlight on it and only felt his scalp go numb. He asked in a low voice, “Boss, is this guy a human or a ghost？”
”It’s a ghost.” Ye Qiu said.
Xiao Zhan was so scared that he quickly hid behind Ye Qiu and asked nervously, “Boss, is it really a ghost？”
Ye Qiu said, “To be precise, it’s a water ghost.”
Water ghost？
Xiao Zhan was stunned. “So there really are ghosts in the world. I thought it was just feudal superstition.”
Ye Qiu explained, “This water ghost has another name, water monkey.”
”Ah, this thing is a water monkey？” Xiao Zhan looked surprised.
Obviously, he had also heard the story of the water monkey.
In the legend, the water monkey is proficient in water skills and mainly feeds on fish and shrimp in the water. It has an evil heart and often drowns people.
Not long ago, there was a news report on TV.
It is said that one summer, several students went to take a bath on their way home from school. Five of them drowned and two survived.
Later, when the investigation was carried out, the two surviving students both said that not long after they went into the water, they felt someone grab their feet and drag them down hard.
The two students struggled desperately. After breaking free, they returned to the shore and found that there was a red mark on their ankles.
They were scared in their hearts and didn’t go into the water again. But unexpectedly, all the other students who were taking a bath in the water drowned.
Coincidentally, these drowned students also had bright red marks on their ankles, like the palms of a baby.
The relevant department investigated for a long time and finally unanimously determined that the place where the students died was full of thick waterweeds. These students were accidentally entangled in the ankles by the waterweeds when they were taking a bath, resulting in the accident.
Obviously, this result is not convincing.
Therefore, the legend of the water monkey has emerged in the public’s sight again.
“Boss, if this is really a water monkey, then why didn’t I notice it when it approached me several times?” Xiao Zhan felt a little was incredible.
Although his skills are not as good as Ye Qiu and Changmei Zhenren, he is at least considered a master. Logically speaking, when the water monkey approaches, he should have noticed something.
But the situation is that when he reacted, the murderer who left a black handprint on his ankle had already disappeared.
Ye Qiu said： “This is not an ordinary water monkey. Didn’t you see it just now? Its mouth can spray poisonous fog. If I’m not wrong, its speed is also very fast.”
“It seems that the murderer who killed the disciples of the Dragon Gate should be this beast.”
“This guy is very cruel and cannot be left alive.”
After that, Ye Qiu walked towards the water monkey.
The water monkey stared at Ye Qiu, and its eyes were extremely cold. It also bared its teeth at Ye Qiu.
“Whoosh！”
When Ye Qiu was still three meters away from the water monkey, he flicked a sword qi.
The water monkey’s reaction was very sensitive. When it detects the danger, it jumps out with a “whoosh” sound.
This jump was ten meters.
Not only was the distance far, but when its feet landed, there was no sound at all.
Landing without a sound.
Successfully dodged Ye Qiu’s sword qi.
“Sure enough, as I expected, its speed is very fast.”
The sword qi that Ye Qiu just stimulated was only a test, but it was enough to seriously injure a master on the Divine List.
However, it was easily dodged by the water monkey.
It can be seen from this how fast the speed of this water monkey is.
Fast speed is only one aspect. After dodging the sword qi, the water monkey jumped and pounced on Ye Qiu.
When it pounced over, its speed suddenly increased by more than ten times, and there was no sound of wind at all.
Only then did Ye Qiu understand why the Long-browed True Man didn’t notice anything before, and the water monkey suddenly appeared in front of him.
Because this water monkey is very strange.
The water monkey was like a bolt of lightning. After appearing in front of Ye Qiu, it opened its mouth and sprayed out a mouthful of yellow poisonous fog.
At the same time, a gloomy smile appeared on the water monkey’s ghostly face.
Boom！
Taking this opportunity, Ye Qiu quickly punched the water monkey on the head.
Poof！
The brain splashed out.
Until it died, the water monkey couldn’t figure out why Ye Qiu wasn’t afraid of its poisonous smoke？
How could it know that Ye Qiu was invulnerable to all poisons? Not to mention this little poisonous fog, even if it was a more overbearing, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be afraid.
After Ye Qiu shattered the water monkey’s head, he then returned to the Long-browed True Man before and gave the Long-browed True Man a few injections.
Soon, the Long-browed True Man stood up from the ground.
Although the Long-browed True Man’s poison was cured, his anger hadn’t subsided yet.
“Damn it, a beast dares to scare me. It deserves to die.”
The Long-browed True Man went up and kicked a few times, stomping on the corpse of the water monkey.
“Alright, stop wasting time. Let’s go！”
After Ye Qiu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The three people left the cave, took out the water-avoiding talisman again, and returned to the bottom of the river.
“Old thing, help me fish for the corpses.”
The three people worked together and fished all the corpses of the Longmen disciples on the sunken ship onto the ship.
Everything has been arranged properly.
Just as they were about to leave, suddenly, the situation changed.
The originally clear sky suddenly became gloomy. Above the nine heavens, the thunderclouds were rolling, and a depressing atmosphere filled the sky.
The heavenly tribulation has come！
Ye Qiu had a bit of a headache. Every time he cultivated a strand of innate true qi, he had to Get through a tribulation. This time, after swallowing the nine-leaf golden lotus, he had two more strands of innate true qi, which meant that he had to Get through the tribulation twice.
A moment later.
“Boom！”
The sound of thunder rang out.
Above the nine heavens, a bolt of lightning descended and struck towards the direction of the ship.
Ye Qiu was worried that the heavenly tribulation would hurt Xiao Zhan and the Long-browed True Man. He quickly flashed out, stepped on the river surface with his toes, and with a few flashes, he arrived above the cliff a hundred meters away to meet the heavenly tribulation.
Soon, he was submerged by the lightning.
Just for a while.
Ye Qiu was covered in injuries, and his golden blood splashed everywhere, looking horribly mutilated.
Standing on the bow of the ship, the Long-browed True Man saw this scene and instead of worrying about Ye Qiu, he kept saying, “Heavenly Lord, make the thunder even more violent. It would be best to strike this little bastard to death.”
Xiao Zhan was furious when he heard this and said, “Senior, how dare you curse the boss? Be careful that you will also be struck by lightning.”
”Don’t worry, this poor Taoist has profound good fortune. The Heavenly Lord is reluctant to strike me…”
Boom！
Just at this moment, a huge thunderbolt swooped down from the high altitude and headed straight for the Long-browed True Man.
