Although bandits are rampant in Josh County, all bandits in Josh County follow an unwritten rule, that is, they are not allowed to rob in any village or town in Josh County.

No one knows who this rule is or when it was established, but all Josh people are willing to follow this rule. If someone violates this rule, then this person will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in Josh County. Not only all Josh County

The towns and villages in Josh County will join forces to arrest this person, and even the thieves groups in Josh County will hunt him down. On this matter, everyone in Josh County has the same attitude.

Now Heel Bundy said that someone actually ran to the village dock to attack the cargo ship. Willis didn't believe it for a moment, but he could also see that Heel Bundy didn't seem to be lying, because this kind of thing could be easily found out.

, so he couldn't help but wonder whether what Bundy said about Papa before was true or false.

Just when Willis was about to ask, Leo, who had been staying in the cabin since boarding the ship, opened the door and walked in from the outside, and said to Bundy: "Didn't you just say that you had seen Papa?"

? Then can you tell me what those papas look like?"

Willis was dissatisfied with Leo's sudden intervention, but when he thought of what happened when Leo took action, the dissatisfaction in his heart was quickly suppressed, and he said to the heel Bundy who was at a loss: "

Go ahead! Tell me everything you know."

Hearing what Willis said, Heel Bundy turned to look at Leo suspiciously. Although Willis hid it well, he could still see that Willis was very worried about the noble man who came in now.

This also made him have more speculations and reveries about Leo's identity.

Although Jiang habitually analyzed and wrote down what he saw in his heart, he did not show too many abnormalities on the surface, and followed Willis's instructions and told his previous experiences.

In the past, Heel Bundy, who is also from Josh, did not take seriously the legend of Papa. He thought that the legend of Papa was just an old woman's pillow story, specially used to scare children. After all, children were playful and mistaken.

There are many examples of falling into swamps, and it is the number one cause of death among children in Josh County.

However, this perception was shattered not long after he returned to Josh County.

At that time, Bundy had just returned to Josh County and was planning to use the money he earned at sea to start a business. At that time, he had not thought of running river freight. Later, after being introduced by a fellow villager, he boarded a boat specifically for river freight.

The ship, and with the skills he developed at sea, he soon became the first mate on the ship.

It was this experience in river transportation that made him very familiar with the ever-changing river courses in Josh County, and he began to understand the idea of ​​investing his savings in river transportation.

So he decided to leave here and go alone after one last trip to the ship. He originally thought that this last trip with the ship would be a very simple task, but unexpectedly, things turned out to be a little wrong.

He still clearly remembered that he followed the rules and sailed the ship to a secret pier before dark. This pier was specially built by the ship owner to provide a temporary docking point for the ship, because the ship owner discovered a

Shortcut. If a ship takes this shortcut, it can arrive at the destination a few days earlier than other ships. It can also make several more trips a month.

The only disadvantage of this shortcut is that it only appears in the rainy season in summer, and there are no villages where the river passes, so the boat owner has to build several temporary docks to facilitate the boat to dock at night.

As usual, the ship docked safely at the temporary dock. All the people on board got off the ship, rested in the temporary house, lit smoke, and drove away the mosquitoes in the swamp.

After entering the middle of the night, someone discovered that something was wrong with the situation outside the house, because a thick fog suddenly arose outside the house.

Although there is fog in the swamp, it is not unusual, but thick fog appears late at night in the hot summer. The sailors on the ship left the house with curiosity and went outside to check the situation. The main reason was to check whether the cargo on the ship was

Safety.

But not long after these sailors entered the fog, there were screams and screams, and then strange things happened one after another. Sailors continued to disappear. Everyone was already panicking. After all, Bundy and Heel had experienced great disasters at sea.

Feng Lang has seen a lot of weird things, and he was the fastest to react in this situation. At that time, he made the most correct choice to stay in the house, light the bonfire, and let the fire burn as much as possible.

, to prevent thick fog from penetrating into the house.

It was precisely for this reason that he was able to survive the disaster safely, while other people who left the house died outside. When they found these people, they only saw some incomplete corpses.

When the fog receded, Bundy relied on his eyesight like a lookout hand to see clearly some monsters hidden in the thick fog.

Those monsters looked like fish that had turned into human shapes. Their humanoid bodies, nearly three meters tall, were supported by huge fish heads. The split fish mouths were filled with sharp teeth, and they also had vertical fins.

Their backs and webbed limbs make them look very scary.

This was the first time that Bundy saw Papa, and the reason why he didn't think it was any other monster was mainly because of the process of the monster's appearance and its appearance. In the legend, Papa also appeared with the thick fog.

, and it also has a humanoid shape.

Originally, this incident had made Bundy timid and he no longer dared to do river transportation. But then the cargo was delivered to its destination, and the payment he saw when it was delivered made him realize how profitable river transportation was.

.

Motivated by money, his fear disappeared and he bought a boat for river transportation according to the original plan. He ran safely for several years without encountering any accidents. This made him relax his vigilance and forget about Papa.

thing.

I know that a few months ago, he transported a boatload of passengers to Edin County, which is adjacent to Josh County. He did not take a shortcut, but took the normal river route and stopped at a village with a dock on the way. It was also summer and late at night

Thick fog suddenly appeared.

The experienced Heel Bundy immediately remembered what happened a few years ago. He immediately let the passengers on the boat stay in the hotel arranged for them by the village, and made all the wood in the hotel into a bonfire, lit it, and placed it around the hotel.

, dispersing the dense fog.

Some people did not understand what he did and thought he was crazy. Worried about the cargo left on the ship, they insisted on leaving the hotel and returned to the ship to check the situation. As a result, they all died in the thick fog like the sailors.

With this example, everyone was frightened and listened to Bundy's words and hid in the hotel. However, this time was different from the last time. Last time, he was able to see clearly after the thick fog receded.

Monsters, but this time the monsters approached the edge of the thick fog and looked into the hotel. This time not only he saw it, but also the passengers on other ships saw it.

However, fortunately, this time, Bundy was well prepared and allowed the bonfire to burn all night, thus preventing any increase in casualties. After the thick fog dissipated, they found that the entire village had disappeared.

It was precisely because of these two things that Heel Bundy developed the habit of docking ships in a secret river channel before nightfall, without docking or entering the village port.

In his opinion, the two monsters appeared on the shore, and both times were after thick fog had appeared, so he thought it would be safer to stop on the water, and because of the flow of the river, even if there was thick fog on the water, it would be safer than on the shore.

It's much lighter. As long as you light a bonfire around the boat, nothing will happen.

"Have you told anyone else about this?" After listening carefully to Bundy's words, Leo asked in a deep voice.

Heel Bundy hesitated for a moment. He did tell other people about this matter, namely his superior. However, his superior did not seem to take the matter seriously. He just told him not to think about it and would not care about it.

thing.

However, he couldn't say such a thing at all. He just shook his head and said, "No, I haven't told anyone else."

However, after he answered, he found that the other person was looking at him with a smile, as if his eyes could see through the little secret in his heart, so he did not dare to look at him and lowered his head.

Leo, who had already seen that Bundy was lying, did not have the energy to ask further, nor did he stay any longer. He stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to Willis and said: "

I’ll give you a suggestion, it’s best to keep people staring at the water at night, maybe something will happen to you.”

After hearing Leo's words, Willis couldn't help but frown, thought for a moment, and asked people to take Bundy to the cabin below and lock him up temporarily, and then ordered his men to take turns keeping watch at night.

After returning to his cabin, Leo found that Mira and Su were both in his cabin. He couldn't help but be stunned, and then asked: "Is something wrong?"

Su asked first: "Why are you interested in this kind of country legend? It's not like you."

Leo chuckled lightly and asked, "Why can't I be interested in these folklores? How well do you know me?"

"Humph!" Su Leng snorted and turned around.

"Do you know anything?" Mira on the side asked directly without saying any nonsense.

"Are you talking about Papa?" Leo asked again.

"Is Papa not just a folklore, but is there really such a monster?" Mira asked curiously.

"Yes." Leo nodded and said, "You can see it tonight. You can leave now. I want to take a rest."

"Humph!" Su snorted again and walked out of the room quickly, followed by Mira.

After closing the door, Leo lay on the bed, quietly thinking about what Shoes had just said to Bundy.

Although this incident sounds like it is just a paranormal event, Su, Mira, and Wolf Gang leader Willis have all seen similar things more than once, and they are even the most paranormal part of the world, but this

When Leo heard this, it was not the case. He quickly associated it with the fog around the dream world, knight world and other worlds, and those fish-men monsters were fog beasts and the like.

thing.

The reason why Leo thought this way was not only because of what Bundy said, but also because after entering the river in Josh County, Leo's nightmare power began to produce a trace of fluctuations, and

Just now, he sensed through the spiritual network that something in the water seemed to be following the ship.

What made him feel a little strange was that when he wanted to capture the target through the mental net, he found that the target was in a weird state, as if it could move between this world and another world.

At this time, he also sensed the scene of Willis interrogating Bundy through the mental network. He vaguely felt that the two things might be related, so he went to the upper captain's room to inquire.

Now Leo is almost certain that the vague existence he sensed before should be the outpost of the fish-man monster, and he feels that the previous two encounters between Bundy and Bundy were not accidental. The fish-man monster is probably the outpost of the fish-man monster.

It's for Heel Bundy. As for the reason, I'm afraid Heel Bundy himself doesn't know.

However, Leo is sure of one thing, Heel Bundy must have hidden something. Just now he asked Heel Bundy if he had told anyone else about the fish-man monster. Heel Bundy's heartbeat and expression on his face

Subtle changes in expression show he is lying.

The reason why Leo didn't continue to ask more about the little secret that Bundy hid was simply because he felt that the matter might have nothing to do with the fish-men.

On the deck, the men of the Wolf Gang began to make some arrangements on the ship according to Willis's instructions, and sent people to stand at the highest point of the ship to observe the surrounding situation.

This time, the people Willis introduced were all werewolves he transformed through special methods. Everyone was very powerful and had extremely sensitive senses of smell and vision. He was confident that even if he met what Bundy said,

Among the fish-men monsters, it is not certain who will win in the end.

Soon the sky darkened, and the originally shallow lake gradually began to increase in volume due to the backflow of the river. The bushes closest to the lake were soon submerged, and then pieces of land sank to the bottom of the lake, with only some

The highlands were exposed, forming small islands. When the lake water stopped increasing, the lake's area had expanded six to seven times.

The dark night is a scary thing for ordinary people. After all, humans have a natural fear of darkness, but it is not so for werewolves. The dark night will only make them excited, and because the full moon has just passed, the moon is still

In a state close to the full moon, the werewolf can still get some power from the moonlight, and at the same time some primitive desires in his heart will be triggered.

If it weren't for Willis, the alpha wolf, who was suppressing them, perhaps the werewolves from the Wolf Gang on the ship could not help but transform into werewolves, follow their true nature, and roar loudly.

After nightfall, Willis, who originally ignored Leo's warning, suddenly became alert and ordered his men who were ready to move to carefully check the surrounding situation. Even later, he himself was sitting on the deck, and the reason why he
Chapter completed!
