Caught off guard, Wai felt a bit dizzy, as if he had fallen under some curse.

But at that moment, a white light burst forth from his clothes.

Way Kai was overjoyed.

Good thing I have a Luosin set to protect me.

The sudden debuffs that had appeared were weakened by the effects of the Luin set, becoming non-lethal and only slightly reducing his combat power.

However, Wake didn't care about these.

With the golden cudgel in hand, he coldly watched the monsters charging at him.

The next moment, he gripped the golden cudgel tightly and swung it out fiercely.

Poochie, Poochie, Poochie.

A large number of monsters were instantly killed with one strike, and the remaining ones continued to poke at him with their harpoons, but under the powerful evasion of the dragon's shoes, they all missed.

After one strike, Way Kai followed up with another blow to clear the remaining monsters.

After more than a dozen monsters died, as usual, there was a massive explosion of drops with various equipment and materials being automatically picked up by the diamond bracelet into Way Kai's backpack.

However, one item fell lonely on the ground.

Huh? What is this? Wake was a bit puzzled.

According to the rules, the diamond bracelet should automatically pick up all dropped items as long as the settings were correct.

It shouldn't have missed this thing right in front of him.

But strangely, this item wasn't picked up.

Did I said it wrong? He mumbled to himself while checking everything over again.

However, he found no issues.

The diamond bracelet was fine, so the problem must be with this thing in front of him.

When we wake Kai slowly approached, he realized that this thing was actually a lump of black meat.

Could this have dropped for some monster? Looking at the rotten meat, way Kai immediately frowned.

Normally, when monsters died, their bodies would automatically refresh and it wouldn't leave behind meat chunks unless it didn't belong to those monsters.

Hey, is anyone here? He suddenly thought of something and shouted loudly.

The villa wasn't large and a shout quickly echoed throughout the entire area.

However, there was no response.

After a long time, just when Way Kai was about to give up, a faint voice suddenly came from a corner not far away.

Yes.

As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of floor in the corner stood up and a bald head popped out from the ground.

Who are you? Way Kai was surprised and quickly realized that this was the NPC that would trigger the story line.

I am the caretaker of this villa.

The bald man replied cautiously.

The caretaker? So you're in charge of this villa? Way Kai nodded and asked what exactly happened here? Why did the monsters break in? Alas, the caretaker side? Looking sad.

Not long ago, the Jishu River flooded and a large number of water demons came ashore to commit atrocities.

Even our villa was affected.

I had to hide when I sensed danger.

Luckily, you arrived in time and saved my life.

Water demons came ashore.

Way Kai raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you saying these water demons were originally from the Jesuit River?" "That's right.

" The caretaker nodded with a bitter smile.

"Our Jiu villa was originally a temple dedicated to the Jouer River, but unexpectedly it was attacked by the water demons from the Jouer River.

" "Huh?" Wai's mouth dropped open, thinking, "Isn't this like the flood washing away the dragon king's temple, where a family doesn't recognize each other? Could it be that your offerings were insufficient, angering the river god of Jesu? Impossible.

" The caretaker shook his head in denial.

"We have been sincerely offering for decades without interruption.

How could it be due to insufficient offerings?" "Then why?" Way Kai countered.

It can't be the river god's problem, right? It is indeed the river god's problem.

The caretaker side, his face full of bitterness.

The water demons have been coming ashore to commit atrocities for more than 10 days.

According to logic, the river god of Jiu should have discovered it long ago.

But the river god has neither called back the water demons nor given any response.

Are you saying it might be intentional by the river god of Jesu? No, it might be that the river god has encountered disaster.

The caretaker corrected him, shaking his head.

Oh.

Way Kai immediately became interested.

A few days before the water demons came ashore, a dragon roar suddenly echoed over the Jiuway River.

The caretaker continued.

Then someone saw blood raining down, claiming that someone was slaying a dragon.

A few days later, the Jesuit River began to flood and the water demons surged ashore to commit atrocities and eat people.

The entire area along the Jiu River fell into disaster with man-eating water demons everywhere.

Even our Jiu-E villa suffered.

Therefore, I suspect that the river god of Jesu has long been killed.

Chapter 170.

Clearing the water demons, you mean? Because the river god of Jesu died, the water demons are no longer restrained, which is why they come ashore to commit evil.

After listening to the temple priest's words, Wayai quickly summarized the cause and effect.

Exactly.

The priest nodded.

Then why don't you find a way to kill the water demons? The priest sighed.

If we could kill the water demons, we would have done it long ago.

No need for things to come to this.

That is true.

Wayai glanced at the priest and noticed that he was quite thin, not someone with special abilities, so there's no one to manage them.

Please, benefactor, save us.

Upon hearing this, the priest suddenly knelt down, banging his head on the ground and crying.

The water demons come ashore to commit murder.

And nine out of 10 household in the nearby villages are empty.

The common people are suffering unbearably if you can slay the water demons and clear Jesua s name.

This old man is willing to build a statue and a temple for you to be worshiped for generations.

Building a temple for worship is out of the question.

Wayai quickly wave his hand.

The river god you worship is already dead which shows that worshiping is of no use.

I can help but but what the priest quickly raised his head and asked can you tell me what this is? Wake Kai said, taking out the piece of black meat.

This is The priest took the meat and observed it for a long time, frowning deeply, but having no clue.

This thing looked like a piece of meat, but in hand, it felt like a stone, cold and hard.

After a long observation, the priest helplessly shook his head.

This old man really can't tell.

Well, Way Kai had already anticipated this and was not too disappointed.

He was about to put the meat away when the priest stopped him.

benefactor.

You might as well leave this here for me to examine closely.

Perhaps I can find out what it is.

But you just said you couldn't tell, Way Kai said, puzzled.

There are many scriptures in the temple.

Perhaps there is something recorded about it, the priest replied.

This old man can go check.

No need.

Way Kai shook his head.

I have other ways.

After saying this, he still put the meat away.

Seeing this, the priest s face fell.

All right, I'll go now.
