The crossbow bolts in his hand flew out like meteors, never missing their mark, each one accurately hitting the water ghost's vital points.

Wang Fan fired his gun while observing the entire battlefield.

But the water ghosts kept coming in, seemingly endless.

Seeing this, Wang Fan couldn't help but curse, "Damn! What's going on? Did we stir up a den of thieves?!"

Just as he was rebelling against the gods, a water ghost took advantage of Wang Fan's unpreparedness and suddenly pounced on him.

"Watch out!" Qin Xiaoxuan reacted quickly, shooting an arrow at the water ghost and saving Wang Fan's life.

Wang Fan gave Qin Xiaoxuan a grateful look.

"Xiaoxuan! Well done!"

Then he shouted, "Everyone, hold on a little longer! I refuse to believe we can't kill all these water ghosts!"

However, Wang Fan's crossbow quickly ran out of arrows.

He frowned, and without the slightest hesitation, quickly took out a sharp harpoon from his system inventory.

Wang Fan stood there, holding a harpoon, looking imposing and awe-inspiring, like a fierce general who could hold off ten thousand men.

He swung the harpoon forcefully, piercing through several of the water monsters charging in front of him.

"Come on! You ugly bastards!" Wang Fan roared.

The water ghosts were intimidated by Wang Fan's aura and hesitated to approach for a moment.

But a moment later, driven by something unknown from behind, the water ghosts surged forward again in a frenzy.

Wang Fan realized something was wrong; these water ghosts seemed to be controlled by some kind of force.

He fought and retreated, taking over the battlefield from the sand sculpture, and shouted at it, "Go and check around quickly, find out the reason behind this!"

Upon hearing this, the sand eagle quickly flapped its wings and flew away from the battlefield.

Wang Fan faced the overwhelming tide of water ghosts alone, and the pressure suddenly increased.

His strength was rapidly depleting, and he had many wounds on his body.

The three women were extremely anxious when they saw Wang Fan's condition.

Xiao Meng shouted loudly, "Brother, are you alright?"

Qin Xiaoxuan also looked worried: "Wang Fan, be careful!"

Hua Nianci's eyes even reddened.

Wang Fan gritted his teeth and replied, "Don't worry about me, take care of yourself!"

Despite this, the water ghost's attacks became increasingly fierce.

Just when Wang Fan was about to give up, Xiao Hei rushed over and blocked a wave of attacks for him.

"Little Black, well done!" Wang Fan exclaimed gratefully.

At this moment, the weapons in the hands of the three women were about to become useless, and they had very few crossbow bolts left.

Wang Fan made a decisive decision: "Everyone, retreat to the cabin!"

The group fought and retreated, finally reaching the cabin door.

Wang Fan stood at the door, fighting back against the water ghosts' attacks, allowing the others to enter the cabin first.

"Go inside now!" Wang Fan shouted.

The three women quickly led the little sand sculptures and Little Black into the cabin.

Wang Fan also slipped into the cabin at the last moment and quickly closed the door.

The water monsters kept banging on the hatch, making loud "bang bang" noises.

Everyone inside the cabin was panting heavily, finally getting a brief respite.

Wang Fan didn't have time to rest; he immediately opened the system workbench and began making crossbow bolts.

Seeing this, the three women quickly searched for something to block the hatch.

Xiao Meng lifted a heavy wooden plank, while Qin Xiaoxuan and Hua Nianci worked together to lift a thick wooden stake and brace it tightly against the hatch.

"Hang in there, everyone!" Xiao Meng shouted, her little face turning red.

The water monsters' ramming became increasingly violent, and the hatch made a terrifying creaking sound, as if it would break at any moment.

Wang Fan sped up the production of crossbow bolts, his anxiety growing: "Faster, faster!"

Finally, Wang Fan finished making the crossbow bolts. He quickly distributed them to everyone, and they all equipped themselves, ready to fight the water ghost to the death.

"We must defeat them completely this time!" Wang Fan shouted, his eyes filled with determination.

The three women responded in unison, "Okay!"

Just as they were about to open the hatch and rush out, the water ghosts outside suddenly fell silent.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, their hearts filled with doubt.

The three girls were curious about what had happened. Xiao Meng couldn't help but whisper, "Why did they suddenly stop moving? Did they give up?"

Qin Xiaoxuan frowned: "I don't think it's that simple. There might be a bigger conspiracy."

Hua Nianci gripped the crossbow bolt tightly in her hand.

Wang Fan cautiously approached the hatch and found an opening to look out.

To his surprise, the water ghosts receded like the tide, leaving only a messy deck.

"What's going on?" Wang Fan asked, full of questions.

Xiao Meng leaned closer and asked, "Brother, have all the water ghosts left?"

Wang Fan nodded: "I've temporarily withdrawn, but I don't know why."

Qin Xiaoxuan breathed a sigh of relief: "No matter what, let's go out and see what's going on."

The group opened the hatch and cautiously walked onto the deck.

As soon as they stepped onto the deck, they heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from afar.

Wang Fan's heart tightened, and he quickly took out his binoculars to look in the direction from which the sound came.

"It's just a sand sculpture!" Wang Fan exclaimed in surprise.

The sand sculpture was engaged in a fierce battle with a gigantic water demon king.

This water ghost king was several times larger than an ordinary water ghost, with bulging muscles like a hard rock.

Its skin was an eerie dark green, covered with bumpy protrusions, and emitted a nauseating fishy smell.

A pair of blood-red eyes revealed endless ferocity, and sharp fangs gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Its claws are like sharp scythes, each swing generating a gust of wind.

The Water Demon King let out a deafening roar and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on the sand sculpture.

Wang Fan was extremely anxious. "Let's go, let's go help the sand sculpture!"

Wang Fan led the group to the vicinity quickly, where they found that both the Sand Sculpture and the Water Ghost King were injured.

The sand eagle hovered in the sky, its wings bearing several deep cuts and its feathers disheveled.

The water demon king thrashed about in the water, and had many pecks and scratches on its body.

For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand, and the situation reached a stalemate.

Wang Fan frowned, pondering a solution: "This can't go on; we must find a way to break this deadlock!"

Xiao Meng asked anxiously, "Brother, what should we do?"

Qin Xiaoxuan's eyes lit up: "Why don't we attack the Water Ghost King to distract it and lure it onto the ship?"

Hua Nianci chimed in, "That's a good idea; otherwise, we can't do anything to it in the water."

Wang Fan made a decisive decision: "Okay, let's do it this way! Everyone, get ready to move out!"

Everyone immediately got ready. Wang Fan picked up his crossbow, aimed at the Water Ghost King, and fired an arrow.

The arrow whistled past, grazing the Water Demon King's body.

Enraged, the Water Demon King turned to look at their ships and roared as he charged forward.

"We succeeded! Everyone be careful!" Wang Fan shouted.

The Water Demon King's enormous body leaped onto the bow of the ship, causing the vessel to sway slightly.

Little Black bravely pounced and bit the Water Ghost King's leg, but was kicked away by it.
