Chapter 11 Shooting Water Ghosts (Page 1/2)

Two hours later, after a short rest, Frank rode to the river beach that Andrew mentioned.

Before he got close, he saw the group of water ghosts and the damaged carriage from afar.

There were indeed many supplies and goods scattered around along with the collapsed carriage. Some water ghosts were lying on the ground, enjoying the meat in the goods, while others were standing on the water in a daze, wondering what they were thinking.

As one of the most common monsters in the wizarding world, there were not many of these water ghosts, about eight or nine.

They had purple-blue skin all over their bodies, and looked like skinned human-shaped frogs, with ferocious expressions and sharp claws on their slender limbs. At first glance, they were the kind of monsters that only appeared in nightmares.

No wonder ordinary refugee teams were intimidated and dared not take back their supplies.

This time, Frank refused the help of others and proposed to solve this commission alone.

However, as a condition, he borrowed a mare from Andrew as a mount to reduce the time of traveling.

Of course, horses are a very precious resource in this era and cannot be borrowed casually.

In order to prevent Frank from running away on a horse, he had to put almost half of the gold coins he had collected from the robbers in the hands of the merchant Andrew, which was nearly 100 crowns, which was a big loss.

This was not a small amount of money in peacetime. It was enough for an ordinary civilian family to live for about a year. It would only cost about 200 crowns to buy a good war horse.

But now, due to the special situation, everyone is on the run, and the power of money has been severely weakened. Even if you have money, you can't buy food.

Being able to lend a horse that may be enough to save your life in a critical situation is enough to show the magnanimity of the merchant Andrew.

The reason why Frank wanted to carry out the mission alone was mainly because he didn't want to reveal his secret.

In addition to not wanting people to know that he was a demon hunter, the secret of the holy artifact Blood Ring could not be exposed.

Otherwise, a powerful treasure would always arouse the greed of those evil people and cause unnecessary trouble.

Although he was not afraid of trouble, it was better to have less trouble than more trouble, and it was a good thing to be cautious.

After arriving at the river, Frank did not rush to attack, but first found a hidden position and hid his new mount well, and then came to a place with a better view and began to observe intelligence.

The profession of demon hunter is different from soldiers and mercenaries, because they deal with monsters with strange abilities and amazing destructive power. Therefore, in the concept of this profession, intelligence is the most important advantage, sometimes even more important than one's own strength.

Each monster has its own advantages and disadvantages. After finding the right method, it will be twice the result with half the effort. The role of intelligence is particularly important.

In the past records, there have been records of powerful demon hunters who misjudged the identity of monsters due to insufficient intelligence and eventually died. There are more than one case, which is a lesson worth learning from.

After some observation, Frank determined that there were indeed only nine water ghosts on the river beach next to the carriage, and there were no other monsters.

This situation was much easier than he expected.

However, for the sake of caution, he first drank a bottle of swallow potion, then picked up the crossbow and all the crossbow arrows, and climbed up a tree closest to the riverbank.

To deal with these stupid water ghosts, Frank did not adopt any very sophisticated strategies. After climbing up the tree, he found a suitable shooting position, then held his breath and concentrated, and soon found a target less than 30 meters away from him, and then shot an arrow at it.
