”Swim in? ” Li Huowang immediately vetoed this option.
He couldn ’t use his abilities in the water, so going in would be like offering himself as food to someone else.


Li Huowang went over his current abilities in his mind, but he couldn ’t find anything useful in this situation.

”Go back and ask Lou County to send a boat? ”

Just as Li Huowang was thinking about this idea with some reluctance, his sharp hearing picked up an extremely sharp instrument.
”Suona? ”

Li Huowang hid in the bushes and looked in the direction of the sound.

After a while, he saw a group of musicians playing instruments.

Behind the suona and drums was a small wooden boat carried by dozens of people.
An old woman sat on the boat, although her hair was all white and her teeth were all gone, she was in good spirits.

The old woman smiled as she looked around at everything.
Red and white cloth wrapped the boat like a flower.

This strange group of people made Li Huowang confused about what they were doing.

They didn ’t walk past Li Huowang, but stopped there.

With the sound of drums and gongs, they gently put the small wooden boat with the old woman inside on the riverbank and let it float into the cave.


The people on the shore were still happy, constantly congratulating the old woman on her good fortune.

”Liu Shiniang, you ’re lucky.
You ’re really lucky.
I don ’t have your good fortune. ”

”Yes, Liu Shiniang, you ’re lucky.
Although you have no children, the water son will take care of you in your old age. ”

”Liu Aunt, have a good journey.
I often bring things to see you. ”

Watching this friendly scene, Li Huowang felt chills all over his body.

No matter how good they sounded, they couldn ’t hide their dirty thoughts of wanting to eat the old woman ’s property.

What kind of nonsense was the water son? It was nothing more than sending away an old person without any support and dividing up her property.

Just as Li Huowang watched the small wooden boat gradually leave the riverbank, he suddenly thought of something.
He opened his eyes slightly, rushed forward three or two steps, and jumped directly onto the old woman ’s boat.

Li Huowang ’s movement made the boat shake, but the old woman at the bow turned around and saw nothing.
She held her cane tightly and continued to say goodbye to the neighbors on the shore.

Li Huowang, who was invisible at the stern of the boat, looked at the gradually enlarging cave in the distance and thought to himself, ”Water son? I want to see what you really are! ”


Gradually, the music on the shore faded away, and the two people on the boat looked towards the distant cave.

As the light outside the cave gradually diminished, the inside of the cave became very dim, except for the sound of the light waves hitting the boat, there was no other sound.The old woman surnamed Liu at the bow of the boat was obviously a little scared, but she still encouraged herself while holding her cane.

”It ’s okay, it ’s okay.
Auntie wouldn ’t lie to me.
The Water Son will come to pick me up soon.
He can take care of me in my old age.
I also have a son. ”

Li Huowang glanced at her hunched back and felt a little sorry for her.
Obviously, this old woman had become completely confused and believed all the nonsense others told her.

”Whoosh! ” A small light suddenly appeared on the distant water surface, startling Li Huowang.

He squinted his eyes to carefully identify and found that it was actually a white candle.

”Water Son? Is it the Water Son? Your mother ’s surname is Liu, and your deceased father ’s surname is Hu.
You should follow his surname in the future, okay? ”

The old woman rambled on to the distant white candle, looking like she wanted to express her goodwill but was afraid of being too enthusiastic.

The candle in the distance had no response, but the boat under Li Huowang had a new change.
It no longer drifted with the current, but slowly floated towards the direction of the candle.

Looking at the candle, Li Huowang unconsciously gripped the hilt of the sword behind him, and his muscles began to tense.


Regardless of what the Water Son was, since they stole the baby for alchemy, they were definitely not good people.

As the boat approached, the white candle slowly retreated.
After a while, the candle suddenly stopped.

The next moment, Li Huowang suddenly stumbled forward.
When he stabilized himself, he found that the boat had run aground.

In front of him was a rough and uneven ground, which looked like they had reached the shore.

Seeing the old woman who had fallen to the ground and hadn ’t gotten up for a long time, Li Huowang stepped over her and approached the distant candle.

Three zhang, two zhang, one zhang! Li Huowang finally saw clearly what was holding the candle.

It was a creature with deformed limbs that barely resembled a human if looked at as a whole.

However, this ”human ” had hair that was terrifyingly long, draped like a turtle shell on its back, and its fingernails, which were longer than fingers, twisted into dirty wax yellow whirlpools.

Various teeth grew randomly in its mouth, and Li Huowang found it hard to imagine that he could see both the sky and the ground on the same face.

Li Huowang also saw that the green hair falling from its head had grown into its eyes.
This creature had no eyes, it was blind.

”Li Huowang, be careful.
This is a human-xiao, ” Red suddenly spoke after a long silence.

When Li Huowang looked at him with a questioning gaze, Red continued to explain, ”This person, if they have bad luck and never die, will turn white hair back to green, have rotten teeth, and become unable to speak human words, only ghost words.
Finally, they will become a half-human and half-ghost evil creature. ”

At this moment, the human-xiao holding the white candle with its nails moved.
It lightly shook the candle, tempting the old woman to follow it into the darkness.With a serious expression, Li Huowang instinctively wanted to chase after it, but suddenly stopped and asked Red in a lowered voice after seeing the candle disappear, ”Is this true or did you make it up? ”

Red ’s face showed a hint of disdain.
”Is that all you think of me? Do I lie just to amuse you? I am at least one of the three great elements, Red.
If I really wanted to deceive you, I would make sure you have no burial place! ”

”Well, since you don ’t believe me, I won ’t bother explaining anything about the Manxie.
It ’s weird anyway. ”

Li Huowang stood still and carefully scrutinized Red in front of him.

Seeing Red ’s unusual behavior, she was quite surprised.
”Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me? The person is gone, why don ’t you go after him? Did you come to this haunted place just to take a walk? ”

Li Huowang furrowed his eyebrows slightly and shook his head.
”I just feel that something is strange about this.
If you are just a hallucination, then how do you know something that I don ’t? ”

Then he looked at the other four people left.
”If you are not hallucinations, then what are you? ”

Red looked back at Li Huowang and carefully scrutinized him from head to toe, with a smile on her face that was neither a smile nor a smirk.

”Well, how would I know? You should ask yourself that. ”
