There is a calm river in front of you, the water flow is gentle, there are slight waves on the water surface, and the breeze is blowing, sparkling.The upper reaches of the river stretched out to the distant hills until only a small dot remained and disappeared.

Nearby is a forest, lush and green, with leaves swinging neatly and rustling.

The sound of cicadas comes and goes, and the clouds drift by, it is midsummer.

Chu Zhou suddenly appeared by the river, he swayed a bit before standing still, and looked up when he heard the sound of water flowing.The surface of the river is white, with only occasional green water plants floating on it, but the forest on the opposite side has towering old trees and green trees.

The previous two times were in the mountains and forests, but this time, it turned out that it went directly to the water's edge.

He stood in place and looked around, and stopped when he saw the village not far behind him.

Then go to the village to find out first, the monsters in this world, I don't know what they are.

Chu Zhou took another look at the aquatic plants floating on the water, and walked towards the village.

After he left, the water plants were pushed away, and a green figure floated up, saying in a novel tone: "Hey, a new human has appeared."

This is a quiet and peaceful village.

The houses are scattered in an orderly manner, smoke is rising from the roofs, and people are working in the fields, chatting and laughing, creating a leisurely scene.

Someone saw Chu Zhou and came up to him curiously.

"can I help you?"

Chu Zhou pondered for a while, and said, "I'm here to relax. May I ask if I can stay here for a while?"

The man saw that his expression was sincere, and he didn't look like a bad person, so he agreed after a moment of pondering.Then he enthusiastically led him to the nearby houses, and said as he walked, "Then go to my house first."

Along the way, when other people greeted the people next to Chu Zhou, they looked at him curiously by the way, but because strangers would come here occasionally, they didn't look at him too much.

The village head—Chu Zhou heard it from other people's greetings—his house was at the entrance of the village, and they walked there quickly.

Chu Zhou looked at the house in front of him and felt a little strange. This house was larger than the surrounding area.The village chief noticed his eyes and explained with a smile: "Because occasionally people pass by the village on their way, we have prepared rooms for guests to rest."

Well, it's really hospitable.

Chu Zhou walked in and came to a plain room.There are only some daily-use furniture, tables and chairs, which are very simple.

The village chief led him in and said, "You will live here from now on."

Chu Zhou thanked him and stayed.

The life here is indeed very leisurely. Chu Zhou just helps out at the village chief's house these few days, and secretly inquires about whether there is anything unusual here in the rest of the time.

However, they didn't ask anything, it seemed like it was just an ordinary small village.

However, Chu Zhou noticed that there were people of all ages in the village, but there were very few young women.But he didn't ask, maybe it's a custom, maybe it's just that women can't come out easily.

He didn't think much, he was still thinking about how to find his target this time.

The weather has been fine lately, with clear skies and mild winds.

However, this day suddenly changed.

The sky was gloomy, and the wind was blowing fiercely, as if to tear the thick black clouds.First there was the sound of thunder, and then there was a sudden flash of lightning. The thunder and lightning were mixed together, and the heavy rain poured down. The sky was black and dense, as if it was about to be crushed directly.

Standing at the door, Chu Zhou looked at the treacherous weather, feeling a faint unease in his heart.

When the village chief saw his expression when he passed by, he smiled indifferently and said, "Don't worry, there will be a few heavy rains in this season every year, so don't worry."

Chu Zhou saw that the village chief was not worried at all, and the others were also relaxed, so he suppressed his anxiety to the bottom of his heart and pretended to be calm.

However, the rain did not stop anytime soon.

The sky was dark and rainy, and three days had passed.

Chu Zhou suddenly thought of the river near the village. If this kind of rain continues, it will cause mountain torrents!

He hurried to the door and watched from a distance.

Because the distance is not very close, the rainwater can barely be seen falling into the river in the vast rain and fog, and the river rushing down the mountain farther away, splashing on the river bank from time to time, causing people to be frightened.

After looking at it for a while, Chu Zhou hurriedly went to the village chief.

The village chief was still reading a book, humming a little tune, and the candles in the room were flickering, creating a completely relaxed atmosphere.

Seeing him push the door in with a bad face, the village head put down his book and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Did someone mess with him?

Chu Zhou said with a serious face, "It's been raining for so long, and the village is near a big river. What if...a flood breaks out?"

The village head stood up, walked to him, and asked, "Can you see the current rising trend of the river?"

Chu Zhou frowned, and said, "I can't see clearly, but it's raining so heavily, the river should have skyrocketed."

The village head thought for a while, and then asked someone to take a look in front of it in the rain.

After a while, the drenched man ran back.

While twisting the water on the clothes, he panted and said, "The water is very, very large, and it is almost rushing to the river bank."

After hearing this, Chu Zhou quickly looked at the village chief, waiting for him to arrange for the villagers to evacuate.

Unexpectedly, the village head just nodded and asked the man, "Is the water still the same this time?"

The man froze for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, his originally tense face relaxed strangely, and replied: "Yes, it's the same as before."

The village chief nodded and said, "Go back first."

The man was not puzzled, and returned to his home with confidence.

Seeing their strange reactions, Chu Zhou was very puzzled. Seeing that the village chief was about to go back to his room, he hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Don't you need to arrange for the villagers to leave here?"

"No need." The village chief didn't seem to want to say more.

"Then... what should we do when the flood comes?" Chu Zhou really didn't understand his reaction. At this time, shouldn't he find a way to escape?

The village chief sighed and said, "Don't worry, there will be no danger."

It rains heavily at this time of year, sometimes like this, for several days and nights at a time, and the village is in danger of being submerged at any time.However, the flood never broke out. As long as the rain stopped, they held a sacrificial ceremony and enshrined the gods, then the village would be safe forever.

Chu Zhou watched the village chief walk into the room, hesitated for a while, and then went back.

These people should have some special reliance.

Sure enough, although it rained continuously for five days and five nights, and the river surged, it remained on the verge of collapse, and finally calmed down suddenly.

Chu Zhou was standing at the door at that time, and he vaguely saw a light flash on the river, which disappeared for a moment, but when he looked carefully, there was nothing.

He stared there, it was definitely not his illusion just now.

Chu Zhou waited for the next day when the rain stopped, so he decided to go to the river to have a look. He always felt that there was something wrong with the light that appeared that day.It might be related to his mission.

The road was not easy, and Chu Zhou finally reached the river after stepping on countless small puddles.

After these days of turbulence, the river finally calmed down. Except that the water level was slightly higher than before, everything was as peaceful as when he first came.

The air after the rain is fresh and humid, mixed with the aroma of the soil, and the wind blowing over the river bank has a fishy smell.From time to time, there was the cry of frogs "croaking", and the sound of insects echoing.

Chu Zhou saw a little green floating inexplicably on the white water in the distance, and he didn't move. He thought for a while, picked up a small stone and threw it over.

Boom, right on target.

"Hey, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts," the green kappa stood up from the water, rubbed the bump on his forehead, and complained, "Sure enough, Miss Carp is the most gentle."

Chu Zhou squinted his eyes and looked at him, then said gently to him, "Please come here."

Kappa usually just observes every move of human beings from a distance, and has never talked to human beings.Although the brothers and sisters say that human beings are inanimate objects, they will marry a fearful human woman as a bride.But he thinks that human beings are very good, and their lives are ordinary and happy.

He heard the gentle voice of the human on the shore, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to be malicious, he moved a little closer.

Humans... should be very kind, just like Miss Carp.

The whole body of the Kappa is green, and it is only as big as a child of a few years old. Its hands and feet are webbed, and there is a bowl-shaped concave mirror on its head, which is filled with water.

Seeing him approaching cautiously, Chu Zhou asked gently, "Have you been in the river these days?"

The Kappa replied, "Yes, we all live underwater."

Chu Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he spoke more gently, fearing to scare away the timid Kappa, "The river that soared yesterday suddenly disappeared, do you know the reason?"

"The river water disappears every time," the kappa was a little puzzled, "isn't this normal?"

Seeing Chu Zhou frowned, he stepped back a little.

Chu Zhou just thought that this is absolutely abnormal. Since there is a kappa, it is also possible that there are other monsters.Seeing the kappa looking at him carefully, he tentatively asked, "Do you know any monsters around here?"

"As for monsters, I am myself," Kappa replied ignorantly, "Ah, there is also Miss Carp, but she is not here recently."

Miss Carp?Is it carp essence?

But someone with such power would definitely not be an R-rank monster.

Seeing that Chu Zhou was disappointed, Kappa thought for a while and added, "Maybe, you can go to the forest to see it? I heard stories about gods when I was young. It is said that gods protect this land."

"God?"

Chu Zhou repeated his voice, and when he saw the kappa nodding, he was a little surprised. If there really are so-called gods...

He thanked the kappa and looked towards the opposite forest, so let's go and have a look.

It was still early, he crossed the river with the help of the Kappa, and walked towards the forest.

It may be because of the difficulty of crossing the river. The forest is deserted and secluded. In addition, it has just rained, so there are almost no birdsong, and the sound of insects seems to have disappeared.

Chu Zhou walked along the path that was overgrown with weeds and was almost invisible. After a long time, he was about to give up, but suddenly there was a light in front of his eyes, and a clearing appeared, and finally his eyes were no longer filled with green.

There is a shrine in this large open space, and the plaque is thrown on the ground. Even the handwriting is difficult to read, and the word "Fengshen" can be vaguely seen.

Weeds are overgrown, and the inside of the shrine is empty, probably abandoned for a long time.

Chu Zhou casually threw the branch of the explorer at the door, stood in the shrine for a while, looked around, but found nothing.

He was a little disappointed, and after leaving the shrine, he decided to go back the same way.

Just took two steps, but heard a soft sound.

—Someone stepped on a branch.

He paused, turned his head slowly, and looked over.
