The Divine Hunter Chapter 3: Water Ghost
After searching for herbs in the bushes for a day, towards dusk, the two of them came to a river ten feet (3 meters) wide, with no end in sight and turbid water. Lei Suo suddenly stopped and said, The amber pupils shrank into a line, and Roy looked at his back, thinking of the feline whose body was tense due to the explosive hair, of course it was an enlarged version.
"What's wrong? Is this place dangerous?"
Lesuo signaled him to keep quiet, then stood on tiptoes and slid ghostly two steps toward the river. He picked up a blue scale from the cracks in the pebbles on the shore, brought it to his nose and sniffed it. , retreat quickly.
"It seems that we should find a place to stay further away. There is dirt in the river."
"What do you mean..." Roy noticed the turbid surface of the river water and started to get excited.
"There is a water ghost hidden in the river..." Leisuo threw the scales into his palm, "Look, the scales of the water ghost are different from those of ordinary fish. They are thicker and have a small synapse in the center. You can also smell the smell of rotting corpses."
Probably because his sense of smell was not high enough and his sense of smell was not sensitive enough, Roy could not smell it.
He lowered his head and followed Leisuo away from the river for a short distance. Suddenly he patted the other person's back like a wall and said hesitantly, "Master Leisuo, can you let me know more about it?" The legendary water ghosts? Since we are on this path, we will have to deal with them sooner or later. This is just an opportunity to understand this kind of monster. If we leave them alone, how many people will suffer?"
"Do you know that the water ghost also has a nickname among the demon hunters?" Lei Suo said coldly, "Newcomer Killer! Specialized in killing curious and nosy people like you." Little devil."
Roy shrank his neck.
Having said that, Leisuo still found a place to tie the horse. I returned to the river bank to investigate, and found a few more scales. After pondering for a moment, I began to organize my equipment, weapons, alchemy bombs, and magic potions.
Roy noticed that the other party looked like he was facing a formidable enemy, and was slightly surprised, "Is this necessary? The water ghost's combat effectiveness doesn't seem to be very good?"
He has slaughtered many such humanoid creatures in the game. He has at least hundreds of water ghosts under his command. Their grunting and strange screams as if humming from their nasal cavities are still echoing in his mind...
He has learned about this kind of monster through countless killings - its strength is similar to that of ordinary people, its movement speed may be slightly faster, and except for its excellent swimming skills, it has no impressive abilities.
"It seems that your dream was not about returning to the Turin light." Reso applied light green corpse-eating oil on the dagger. "Didn't you hear a sentence in your dream, 'It's really hard to be a monster. Damn, being in a group makes them happy', and once this thing shows up it usually 'takes the family with it'."
"So kid, pay attention to your attitude. No matter how weak the monster is, you must be alert."
"A witcher does not have a second life, and dying because of underestimating the enemy is not worthy of sympathy. This is the second lesson to be taught to you."
Leso took out a **** wolf leg from the saddle bag and cut it into pieces with a dagger.
"I understand, I promise not to make the same mistake again." Roy lowered his head in shame, and the demon hunter reminded him that with his current strength, what right did he have to look down on the water ghost? This kind of contemptuous attitude will sooner or later lead to your own grave.
Looking back, he has been left with this sequelae since his last adventure, and it’s time to wake up.
"Master Leisuo, what should I do? How can I help?" Roy took out his hand crossbow and loaded the arrows in advance.
"Just hide and watch the show." Lei Suo paused and looked at him expressionlessly, "You can help if you want. Do you know the weakness of the water ghost?"
Roy's lips wriggled twice, closed his mouth, and looked like he was listening quietly.
Lesuo nodded with satisfaction, and the other party finally realized the importance of accepting it with an open mind, "You have to remember that poison and blood loss have no effect on water ghosts."
Roy was frightened after hearing this. He had actually planned to use the butcher's anesthetic powder to deal with the water ghost. At that time, he might become the first time traveler to be eaten by the water ghost.
"Because water ghosts are not smart and are dumber than shoes, the Yakshi Seal is also very ineffective. But their eyesight is not good, even in the daytime, once the distance from the target is more than 40 meters (12 meters), it will Equivalent to a half-blind man. But there is a prerequisite, you can run past them. In addition, they are most afraid of the fire element and everything related to fire." Leisuo took out a transparent glass jar the size of half a fist from his alchemy pocket and threw it to Roy.
Through the glass, you can vaguely see the gas flowing in it with dreamy colors.
"Dragon Dream is a type of alchemy bomb. It contains flammable and explosive gases," Leisuo said. "Your hand crossbow is good, and the accuracy should be good? The water ghost will be lured later. After you come out, follow my orders and throw the Dragon Dream towards the place where they gather the most. Then I will detonate it, do you understand?"
"Understood."
……
Leisuo scattered the meat that was broken into dozens of pieces and still stained with blood on a flat ground about twenty feet away from the river. He quickly ran back and hid with Roy at a safe distance, staring intently at River surface.
After waiting for about five minutes, the calm flowing river water suddenly became turbulent, like a pot of boiling water, with bubbles constantly emerging, and huge ripples rippling on the water surface——
One, two, three... five ugly humanoid creatures emerged from the water, screaming strangely, and rushed to the shore.
They looked like corpses picked up from the bottom of a pond. Their skin was blue or green in color, and mucus and mud oozed from every pore. The limbs are covered with dark slippery scales, and the webs of aquatic animals can be seen between the toes and fingers. There are fan-like gills and catfish whiskers on the side of the face.
The chest, abdomen and skinny, skeleton-like cheeks were pale, revealing a pair of large, jagged white teeth, and a pair of big white eyes, looking around nervously.
The stubby nose moved, and the whole family screamed and jumped excitedly towards the pile of minced meat. They ran in a strange posture, with their hands behind their backs, like a flock of ostriches.
Roy glanced at Reso, but didn't see the gesture. Then his eyes turned to the most alienated monster among them, and his eyes became deep.

……
Charm 0, Spirit 0, are you sure these aren’t just a few corpses? Roy sneered, no wonder the Yakxi seal was invalid.
He turned his head and saw Lei Suo's gesture. He took a deep breath and exerted force with his right hand. "Dragon Dream" drew a perfect arc in mid-air and landed accurately among the five water ghosts.
"Crack", amidst the crisp sound of glass breaking, the dreamy colored smoke dispersed in an instant, completely covering the five water ghosts who were still feasting.
Almost at the same time, the demon hunter rushed over like a gust of wind, raised his hand towards the alchemical gas and struck an Igni seal - retreating quickly.
The cone-shaped flame seemed to ignite a ball of cotton and spread suddenly.
Roy, holding a crossbow, stared blankly into the distance. A grand "fireworks show" unfolded before his eyes. Orange flames flashed in the colorful alchemical gases, accompanied by banging explosions. A small part of the sky was dyed with a rainbow halo.
"Ula Ula..." Five wolf-like figures covered in smoke bravely rushed out of the explosion. Three of them fled towards the river. The demon hunter waved his dagger and chased after them like lightning. Two more rushed towards Roy. The latter calmly shot an arrow through the eye socket of a water ghost, and moved his fingers to pull the string to place the arrow. However, the other water ghost on fire had crossed the distance of only a few dozen feet and came to him.
Not a single hair could be seen on that pale and ugly face. Orange flames jumped wantonly in the facial features. The strong burnt smell and the stench from its sharp-toothed mouth poured into the nasal cavity crazily.
Luo's whole body was suffocated. ~IndoMTL.com~ The God of Death greeted him, then turned around and left in a dashing way. The sprinting water ghost suddenly froze in place as if he had been hit by a restraining spell. The huge inertia still carried the burning body towards Roy. Within reach.
The situation was really weird, but there was no time to think about it. Roy called out his dagger and struck it in the head viciously, causing it to fall backwards. Then he inserted a crossbow arrow into its eye socket.
The water ghost was shocked and stopped struggling.
Kill the water ghost and gain 20 experience
Kill the water ghost and gain 20 experience
Experience LV2 (143/1000)
Roy breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling dizzy and sweating under his clothes.
It was so dangerous, he almost capsized in the gutter. If "shock" hadn't been triggered suddenly, he couldn't imagine what would happen to him? Being embraced by a smoking water ghost with death? If you don't die, you will probably lose half your life.
"Kid, now you understand why this thing is called the Rookie Killer." The tall demon hunter came to him at some point, and none of the three escaping water ghosts behind him were left behind. The head is separated, "Do you still dare to underestimate them?"
Roy was silent. He didn't expect this bald man to have a cold face and he liked to preach.
"What to do with these half-cooked corpses? Throw them into the river again, or burn them again?"
"First dig out their brains, and I'll teach you how to do it. The water ghost brain is an important material for refining the magic potion 'Swallow', and some spellcasters will also buy it." By the river at sunset , two figures, one large and one small, stood side by side, dragging five half-cooked water ghost corpses into a row, "It's best to find a red mutant, otherwise we will have to deduct the cost of Dragon Dream, and we will still be at a loss. Quite a few."
