From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 74: Water Ghost: Is it great to be rich?

From the outside, water ghosts look like corpses fished up from the bottom of a pond, and their pores ooze mucus and mud, emitting a rotting sour smell. Humans often mistakenly think that water ghosts are created by lost travelers who fall into a mud, children who swim too far from shore, or drunk farmers who fall into a swamp and drown.

This is certainly not the case, and like most monster rumors, human perception of water ghosts is completely wrong.

Most human beings are wrong about the world, but they don’t realize it.

Today, water ghosts seem to realize their misconception of the world.

They always thought that the food was fished from the water, gouged from the ground, and pulled from the two-legged beasts on the road.

And today, food – fell from the sky!

“Bang” and “bang”, two sheep bleating in mid-air stopped all sounds, and fell into a large pool of meat mud at the bottom of the valley.

The water ghosts who were playing silly on the bank of the river were even happier when they saw this, like piranhas that smelled fishy, swarming to the fishy smell, eating unsuspectingly on the meat mud on the ground, and from time to time several water ghosts diving deep in the river surfaced to join the feast.

Thank you for nature’s bounty!

Lan and his party were lying on the cliff directly above these water ghosts, and it was the sheep they threw down.

Normal people can only see small blue and green things the size of fingers at this visual distance rushing into a lump of red things, and then dyeing themselves red.

With the help of magic props, Lane and Geralt can clearly see the pictures of water ghosts gobbling up flesh and blood, eating sheep’s horns, and even devouring wool.

If there is such an evil spirit as a “starving ghost” in this world, there is one in the following pile, and it will have to change in the future.

Lane looked away and covered his mouth, he had just seen a few water ghosts grabbing an untreated large intestine and eating it deliciously.

Geralt poured a bottle of potion into his mouth and looked at it for a while before he said to Lan with a half-black pupil and eyes: “Most of the water ghosts lurking in the water have come out, but many have not come out.” We still couldn’t dive in and explore the ruins. ”

Lane drank the saliva to suppress the nausea: “But at least it shows that this method is effective, right?” ”

Jello nodded.

“Well, let’s camp here today, we may be staying for a few days.” Lan ordered back, taking another sip of water, “Besides, I don’t have to prepare my lunch today.” ”

The soldiers were ready to fight a protracted battle before they came out, and they had long been carrying the tools to camp.

Demon hunters and druids who are accustomed to sleeping rough are even less likely to camp.

A group of people gathered around the campfire to start maintaining the equipment and nourishing their spirits. Schild takes House’s place to feed Blackwind, but Blackwind seems to want to come over and let Ron feed.

Geralt seems to have something to talk to the druids, who happen to be interested in Mossack.

Lane thought this man should be a fan or something. At this point in time, Mossack already had fans within the druids.

The passing of the day passed quickly.

By the next day, Rann and his party had thrown three sheep from the bottom of the cliff. The water ghosts seem to have their own communication system, and the water ghosts who were full yesterday spread the news of the feast, so today all the water ghosts at the bottom of the river came out.

They are dancing around the red sand with blood stained: nature’s gifts have increased!

Densely packed like a large swarm of ants, the scalp of everyone on the cliff is numb.

The druids sat on the cliffs to raise their gods, and the cattle, sheep and livestock that he had thrown down had all been brought from distant villages. He sighed helplessly: “It’s the first time I’ve opened a portal to do this kind of thing.” ”

Lane asked with some concern, “You… Are you disgusted by our use of cattle and sheep as bait or the slaughter of water ghosts? Think they’re too pathetic? If you’re not willing to get involved, I can understand. ”

The druid glanced at Ran strangely: “When did the world’s misunderstanding of our druids worsen again?” Not to mention that the sacrifices are domestic animals raised by humans, and the water ghosts killed are alien species transmitted by mages, our behavior is completely in line with the teachings of nature.

Even the most extreme kind of druids are just obsessed with those monsters that are about to become extinct, and the water ghosts are too -”

A look of disgust appeared on the druid’s face.

Lane nodded thoughtfully.

On the third day, four cows were thrown down today.

The herdsman who sold her cattle and sheep that the druid visited smiled.

Today’s situation is very special, before Lane and they throw bait, the water ghosts in the river directly gathered below the valley at the same time in advance, singing and dancing around yesterday’s blood-soaked red earth, sitting and waiting for food to fall.

In a sense, this is also a kind of wisdom.

Lan put down the crystal bird skull and handed it to Geralt on the side: “All out?” ”

Geralt squinted at the shadows in the river through the eyes of his skull, and affirmed, “It’s all out.” ”

Lane nodded, almost.

On the fourth day, no cattle or sheep were thrown down.

The water ghosts danced under the valley for a day, dazed for a day, hungry for a day.

The plan was successful, but Lane was a little entangled, and he asked Geralt: “These water ghosts… Wouldn’t they hunt or something themselves, and if we didn’t throw them away, they would really do it for a day. ”

Geralt was silent for a while and said, “It may take another two days of hunger to react, to be honest, it is also the first time I have seen such a stupid water ghost.” ”

The druids on the side added: “They are estimated to be raised by warlocks in underground rivers or places with more food, and they have reproduced for several generations or even more than ten generations, and they have no understanding of the outside world at all, and they are stupid and normal.” ”

The water ghosts were starved for a day, so stupid that ordinary people would feel guilty.

Fortunately, Lane is not an ordinary person.

On the fifth day, Rann and his party bought four cows and three sheep.

They first roasted one of the cows and ate it to fill their stomachs.

Then he disemboweled the other animals, took out their internal organs, and stuffed a large number of leaves and hay into the bodies of these livestock as a cushion like spices into the belly of a roast cow and sheep, almost filling all these animals.

Then, they took out the alchemy backpack strap and took out [Dragon Dream] and [Dancing Star].

So, six cows, sheep and livestock became six flesh and blood bombs.

Rann dispersed the group, leaving only two men above the cliff to throw cattle and sheep down, while the others slowly touched the valley and hid among the bushes on both sides.

If there are water ghosts who will run into the river, they will come out to block and annihilate, and they must not leave any of them.
