C748 The Unexpected Truth

"Wait …" I was clearly being chased just now, how did I get to the river in the blink of an eye? "

While the others were seriously "interrogating" Lin Mo, the young man who was the first to escape finally reacted and asked with a puzzled expression.

Lin Mo sneered as he looked at these people, 'Are these stupid people?' After such a strange thing happened, their first reaction was actually not to investigate the truth, but to join forces to exclude others.'

Only this young man who dared to resist had some independent thoughts. As for the others, even if they became the village's victims, their first reaction would still be to stand in the village's interest, what harm would there be for them.

"That's right, we were all in the river just now. Moreover, there seems to be some kind of arm trying to capture us …"

Upon being reminded by the young man, the others reacted immediately. Remembering the terrifying experience from a moment ago, their faces were filled with lingering fear.

Pow!

Lin Mo gently snapped his fingers and a surging flame instantly emerged from his fingertips.

Everyone was startled by this flame as they stared at Lin Mo with fear in their eyes. At this moment, the might that they had displayed previously was completely gone.

"Stupid!" You all live in the territory of the Flame Country and believe in the mighty Fire God. How dare you guys secretly worship these reasonable low beings! "

Lin Mo softly shouted as his entire body emitted flames. His entire being seemed incomparably divine when compared to the flames.

The people in front of him subconsciously kneeled down and started to kowtow towards Lin Mo.

Although Lin Mo felt a little helpless, this group of people had such thoughts and habits. He could only use a method that they could accept to communicate with them.

"You... "May I ask who you are?"

Sure enough, after Lin Mo had displayed his skill, the group of people immediately turned respectful as they asked with incomparable fawning smiles on their faces.

"I am an envoy of the Fire God, and under the orders of the great Fire God, I accidentally came to your village to inspect the affairs of the people. I am an envoy of the Fire God, and under the orders of the great Fire God, I came to your village to inspect the affairs of the people, and I came to your village by accident." I am an envoy of the Fire God, and under the orders of the great Flame God, I came to your village by accident.

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and bellowed majestically.

After being intimidated by Lin Mo, these people became even more afraid.

They continuously kowtowed, praising the Flame God for his greatness and benevolence. At the same time, they threw all the crimes onto the Village Chief's body.

"Alright, I don't have the time to argue with you guys. How much do you know about the False Gods in this river? Hurry up and tell me all the information you know. If I can sense that the thing you are talking about is a little fake, hehe, you will know the consequences! "

Lin Mo's situation was more or less over. He was too lazy to continue listening to them talk rubbish, hence he immediately opened his mouth and said.

These villagers did not have much of a mind to begin with, and the reason why they believed in the unknown monsters in the river was entirely because of the village chief's guidance.

Compared to the bizarre black smoke in the river and those terrifying pale white arms, these people believed that the Lin Mo whose entire body was emitting flames was a real god.

These people wanted to show off their abilities in front of Lin Mo, so they all immediately lifted their heads and started talking at once.

Lin Mo frowned as he listened for a long time. He realized that these people were just talking nonsense.

For example, how many sacrifices they had made to the river god. For example, when there had been a black rain in the village, and how terrifying the sounds coming from the river were …

These were all events that had happened in the recent years. In other words, these events happened after these monsters were formed. There was no information regarding the reason behind these monsters' formation.

Lin Mo could not help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that it was impossible to obtain some useful information from these fellows.

"Lord Messenger of God, I know some things that they don't know about, but I don't know if it will be useful for you …"

After these people were done talking, the young man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke up. He seriously looked at Lin Mo with a look of longing.

This young man was clearly different from the rest of the foolish commoners. Regardless of whether it was his earlier resistance, or his current silence and listening, both allowed Lin Mo to judge that he was not brainwashed by the village chief.2

Furthermore, the desire in his eyes was like a thirst for the truth. Although Lin Mo did not know why he had such a gaze, he could vaguely sense that he was the same as the village chief, and had a certain understanding of the past.

"Go ahead."

Lin Mo nodded at him.

The young man was finally able to relax. He sat cross-legged across Lin Mo and began to recall his memories.

"Before the river god's faith appeared in our village, my father was a fisherman in this village. He was also the most senior, and he was even chosen as the head of a fish …"

The young man slowly said.

Lin Mo's expression changed slightly.

According to what this young man said, the male monster that he killed could be his father.

However, according to what the Village Chief said earlier, it should be that Fish Head who took the initiative to lead all the fishermen to sacrifice himself to the River God.

Lin Mo felt that something was amiss, but he did not interrupt the young man's narration. Instead, he patiently continued listening.

"That autumn was the perfect time to fish. My father led the fishermen to cast nets in the river to catch fish, but that day, my father drowned when he was getting off the net. The strangest thing was, no matter how many people tried to find him, they couldn't fish out my father's body …"

"Other than my father, the most experienced fisherman in the village was Uncle Wei Lun …"

When Lin Mo heard this name, he immediately became spirited.

Previously, Lin Mo had suspected that the Fish Head mentioned by the Village Head was Wei Lun. However, it didn't seem to be the case now.

"Uncle Wei Lun had a very good relationship with my father. When he saw that my father drowned and could not find his corpse, he became very sad. "In order to find my father's corpse, he went on a solo search in the nearby waters, but even he disappeared …"

"After missing for two days and two nights, Uncle Wei Lun returned to the village and told us that the death of my father and his disappearance were due to Lord River God's anger. If he couldn't calm Lord River God's anger, then the next death would not just be one or two fishermen, but the entire village …"
