Dawn of the Grey Tower

Chapter 240: Water ghost

What is a water ghost? This term has many different meanings. In some places, the water ghost refers to those who live on water to beg, or simply pirates. But in fact, people living in the dark know more or less what the name really corresponds to. Water ghosts refer to those monsters who were born under the water for some reason, are covered with sores and edema, and are always trying to drag people on the water into the deep water.

These monsters are not all people who died of drowning. Sometimes they are just animal bodies or other things that are too long in the water. But it is undeniable that when these things have acquired the ability to move again, and are keen to drown the souls with water, they have become water ghosts. Some people classify water ghosts as ghouls who move in the water, but apparently Mr. Edward, who is the ghoul patriarch, does not think so.

"Drag these things out of the water! They will be useless as soon as they leave the water!" The ghoul king, who still maintains his human form, calmly commanded his people. A large number of ghouls resembling the mossy rogues that had appeared in the Iron Fort were scattered in a group pattern along the river. It's just that these soul-keepers are dressed in rag robes with family emblems compared to their counterparts.

In the only waterway that flows through the capital, some black shadows are hovering in the shallow water. They are undoubtedly the reason why the Edward family is here. Water ghosts look strange, some have a humanoid body and long hair, some are like a huge scaled monkey, and even some of them have a crab-like carapace on their bodies. .

The water ghosts apparently appeared here before the Edwards, and the boats that were originally moored in this river channel have been damaged by them to varying degrees. The smaller ships were overturned in the water, and the cargo ships that the water ghosts could not overturn were destroyed by the guys with sharp limbs. When the alert passed and the boatmen came to the pier again, they would certainly feel a lot of emotion at the sight in front of them.

Although the Soul Keepers received orders from the patriarch, they actually had no good way to face these things wandering in the water. Water ghosts are no less powerful in the water than ghouls, and they are obviously better at fighting in the water. A large number of ghouls can only block the road leading to the water gate with the debris at hand, so that these water ghosts cannot open the gate.

Patriarch Edward watched these guys who opened their teeth and dance their claws in the water. If it was night, he still had the courage to let the tribes go down into the water to fight with these water ghosts. But looking up at the sun still hanging in the sky, the sunlight weakened the physical power of these ghouls, and if they entered the water at this time, they might actually be in the arms of these water ghosts.

"These bastards." The ghastly ghoul king picked up a wooden barrel, and slammed it into a water ghost who pushed his upper body out of the water. However, although the wooden barrel accurately hit the body of this humanoid water ghost, it was difficult for the wooden barrel to hurt the water ghost. Only the water ghost's long hair shouted at Edward.

The soul-keeper on the shore, the water ghost in the water, these two kinds of appearances are terrifying, so they confront each other in the dock area of ​​Wangdu. In this case, as long as the Edward family waits until sunset, they have their own way to solve these enemies in the water, but as the patriarch, the ghoul king does not want to drag on like this. The reason is very simple. Although Wang Du is now quiet because of the attack of the Ratmen, it is hard to guarantee that this noisy voice will not attract some curious guys. Coupled with the assurance in front of Emia, the time left for the ghouls is not rich.

At this time, strange things happened. The water ghosts that were evenly scattered in the waterway seemed to be shocked. Taking a point in the middle of the river as the center of the circle, the water ghosts suddenly began to flee in all directions. It seemed that something terrified them. The Ghoul King naturally noticed this. He looked instinctively towards the center of the river, but there was nothing special except for a thin layer of water mist.

The mist of water was so thin that nothing could be hidden under the ghoul's vision. The water under the mist and the ripples on the water were clear in Edward's eyes. So when he noticed an abnormal water mark and saw a cowhide riding boots, the expression on his face became very interesting.

"Yong Ye is up, what's that?" There was a burst of exclamation in the ghoul. Obviously, it wasn't just the ghoul king who saw the figure suddenly appearing in the mist. And there are more than one figure. Three people who look like holding hands step on the water step by step and walk out of the fog.

"I finally got out of the fog, and I thought I would never get out ..." Elsa exhaled and said happily, looking at the river that was no longer covered by fog. But her words were swallowed halfway through. But this is also understandable. Anyone who sees a large number of ghouls on the riverbank and water ghosts with open teeth and claws in the water will be frightened.

"Don't panic! Don't bow your head!" Heather immediately sensed her companion's fear ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ The cavalier chief clenched her hands, using this pain to keep the boss lady and Mona sober. However, judging from her slight frown, the Hammer Rose was also very puzzled by the current situation.

When the three people stepped out of the water mist, the mist that was floating on the river soon dissipated. As the mist dissipated, the water ghosts that had scattered before recovered from an unknown fear. They quickly discovered the three people standing in the middle of the river, and Elsa was obviously a better target than the ghouls who were standing at a distance from them on the river bank.

"Gaha!" A large number of water ghosts screamed harshly. They didn't make any sound when they moved under the water, but their vocal organs above the water often howled like wild animals. Seeing the monsters approaching fast around them, the three Heathers instinctively gathered back to back.

"Longji Mountain is up, what are these things?" Said the female warrior. Although she tried to suppress her fear, Mona's voice was still trembling.

"These should be water ghosts, and the shore is ... Edward's family?" Heather is the calmest of the three. Faced with the water ghosts under siege, the head horsewoman did not seem to be worried, but when she saw the emblem on the ghoul on the river bank, she was very surprised.
