A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

Chapter 69 14. Good marksmanship

There is no improvement in rating, and there is no increase in the space bar. Of course, killing guys with a lower rating than yourself will not result in a promotion. This is why the wizarding world maintains a fragile balance so far - those with high ratings must wait for those with lower ratings. growth.

After glancing at the newly obtained prop formula, Levi put it away with a thought. Maybe this thing would be useful later, but he didn't want to get into the water and have a passionate 1V1 with the water ghost just yet.

Levi turned his gun coolly and turned to look at Field.

"Be careful. This is custom-made by me. It's very expensive."

Field rolled his eyes at him, walked over, lowered his head and looked at the water ghost on the ground.

"It looks like a giant salamander."

"How can you tell?" Levi leaned over and asked.

"It has a tail, although it has degenerated, with pitted skin and a trademark big mouth." Field squatted down, turned the body of the water ghost over, and pointed to the short tail hanging behind the buttocks.

"And there are no external gills, which rules out salamanders."

Levi listened quietly and nodded to express his awesomeness.

Field stood up, clapped his hands, and continued: "The police will be responsible for cleaning up the bodies later. We just need to note the approximate location here."

Levi thought for a moment whether he could fit the body into the space, but then gave up. A corpse seems to be treated as a whole by the system and cannot be stacked. It has to occupy a single slot, and he only has three empty slots now.

"Let's continue, there are still five more to deal with." Field said, "Oh, by the way, don't hit the head next time, aim for the heart."

"Why?" Levi felt it was safer to attack his brain.

"The brains of water ghosts are important and valuable materials for witchcraft, and these guys are related to Buster Metalia's witchcraft. By analyzing their cerebrospinal fluid, we can get more information about that witchcraft."

……

Lake Merritt is either large or small, with an area of ​​64 hectares and a circumference of six kilometers around the lake. The shape of the lake is irregular, like a branch divided into two branches.

Field and Levi circled the tidal flat for most of the time, and soon discovered three other water ghosts. Levi followed the same method, first using paralytic grenades to paralyze them and fall to the ground, and then went up to take care of them leisurely.

Every time he killed a water ghost, Levi could hear the ethereal voice of the system. After half a circle, he already had three new formulas in his illustrated book.

……

"Okay, so there are only two left."

After Levi shot the water ghost in the left chest, Field said.

"It looks like we'll be done soon." Levi looked at his newly acquired [Jealousy of the Drowned] and turned back with satisfaction.

At this time, Field was cutting off the head of the water ghost, and then letting Levi put it into the space. The brain and spinal fluid needed by BOI were inside.

Blood spattered half of her body, and now her whole body was smelling of blood and fishy smell, and the coat on her body was also muddy.

Field put his sticky hands into the lake and scrubbed them a few times, shook them, raised his head and frowned and said, "Yes, I can't wait to go back and take a shower."

"Yeah, that's right." Levi held his nose and took a step back silently, "There will be no seafood at today's welcome dinner."

"No, I feel like I won't eat anything from the water again for a year." Field sighed, "Let's move on."

The two men followed the same pattern, searching for traces of water ghosts on the shoal. Unknowingly, the two men walked into a ditch. The sound of rustling sounded, and Levi and Field immediately became vigilant. The terrain here was not wide, and there were mounds of dirt on both sides, with trees growing on them.

The soles of their feet were wet mud, making it inconvenient to even run in such terrain.

They walked forward carefully, and the end of the ditch was revealed. It was a dead end, surrounded by earth walls, with a low bottom filled with water, like a small puddle.

The two people looked up, their sight was blocked, but they could still see a humanoid creature in the puddle.

"Same as usual," Field said, "You go up first, and I'll take the back seat."

Levi nodded, holding his palm empty, and a small bottle appeared in his hand.

He leaned forward as before, took two steps forward, and raised his hand to throw.

But then, an accident happened.

When Levi came out, the water ghost turned around and looked over as if he had some trouble.

The moonlight was bright, and the eyes of the man and the water ghost met each other, and they were immediately embarrassed.

Levi was stunned, without hesitation, raised his hand and smashed the paralysis agent over. The small bottle drew a parabola in the air and flew towards the location of the water ghost.

But although the monster was stupid, it was not stupid. The water ghost let out a weird hiss, dodged the small bottle that was thrown at him, then arched his body and ran, rushing straight towards this side!

Levi called out his pistol, and several bullets shot out, piercing the air next to the water ghost and piercing into the moist mud.

The water ghost is extremely fast, and the target is very small, like a running rabbit. It is definitely not easy to hit in this situation!

Levi frowned and took a step back. There were still three bullets in the pistol. He planned to wait for the water ghost to get within five meters of him before firing them all.

The monster with the smell of fish kept approaching, and the distance between the two people shortened sharply. In a few breaths, the water ghost had arrived in front of Li Wei. It swooped up, revealing its short and sharp claws, and grabbed Li Wei in the air.

"boom!"

Just as Levi was about to make a move, he heard a loud gunshot, which came from Field standing on the other side.

A bullet was fired at a tricky angle, entering from the armpit on one side of the water ghost. The bullet penetrated the chest horizontally, destroying the lungs and heart of the water ghost in an instant, and came out from the armpit on the other side.

The water ghost Ze in mid-air was like a big bird that was shot down. It suddenly lost power and fell straight to the ground.

Levi was shocked by this move and accurately shot the heart in mid-air. He had only seen this kind of operation in CSGO and the competition between the three armies on TV.

Field, who fired the shot, turned his gun around and blew a puff of gunpowder smoke that didn't exist.

"Good marksmanship." Levi said sincerely.

"Of course, because this is my witchcraft." Field smiled and said, "[Eye of Death], I can gain super-fast reaction power in a short period of time, and any object seems to be still in my eyes."

It sounds like a skill that Arthur Morgan would have... Levi suddenly thought of something.

"Didn't you say that I would do it all? I was sure to shoot and kill it just now." After coming to his senses, he asked a little aggrievedly.

This cost me one less recipe!

"Generally speaking, yes, but I'm afraid that your marksmanship is too poor and you might accidentally injure the water ghost's brain."

At this time, Field had inserted the black revolver into the holster at his waist, then squatted down and pulled out a short knife to cut off the water ghost's brain.

"This thing is worth twenty Philippine dollars...if it can be sold at a higher premium among wild wizards." Field raised the ugly water ghost's head in front of Levi and shook it.

Levi stretched out his hand to put the water ghost's head into the space, only to feel the fishy smell rushing towards him, and even the space was dirty.

Twenty Philippine dollars is indeed a lot of money. In his previous life, it would have been enough for Levi to eat Haidilao every day for a month, but now that he has a huge sum of three thousand Philippine dollars in his hand, he can no longer afford it.

After doing all this, Levi was just about to ask Field to continue to the next place, when he saw Field let out a sigh, walked a few steps into the valley, and squatted down again.

"What's wrong?" Levi came over and asked.

"On the ground, look at it." Field pointed.

Levi looked over and saw that they were a series of footprints of water ghosts.

"This footprint is different from the ones we saw before. It is larger." Field said, "This means that it does not belong to the one we hunted just now."

"Hmm..." Levi thought about it for a moment, "The ones who escaped were five offspring, and one father, right? Could this be the father's water ghost?"

"I think you're right," Field said. "And you see, this place is very clean. There are only a series of footprints on the ground, which means other water ghosts dare not approach here."

This is behind the small pond, near the mouth of the river valley.

Levi nodded: "Can you trace where it went?"

"No need to track, just look there." Field raised his head and looked at the earth wall in the river valley.

Levi looked over and saw that the spot where he was standing was blocked by a wall. It was a blind spot.

And now he suddenly discovered the place Field was talking about, which was a huge sewage outlet with a height of three meters. The metal fence originally installed on the outside of the sewage outlet now had a hole, which could accommodate one person to enter.
