Everyone was staying far away, and when they saw the ghost flying out, they immediately rushed towards the "ghost" that was blown out with great interest.
The ghost that was blown out lay on the ground motionless, wet all over, face down, and it was impossible to see what he looked like.
The crowd, who were originally curious about what the ghost looked like, began to walk slower and slower.
Why does this person look, seem, a bit like...
Everyone looked at the remaining three members of the group of four.
The three players also had strange expressions.
Because the person lying on the ground, both in clothes and hair, looks very similar to the player who was dragged into the water tank.
His teammates hurriedly took a few steps forward, carefully identified the person on the ground, and then raised their heads helplessly: "It's really Lin Yi."
They originally wanted to blow up the ghosts, but what they ended up blowing up were the players.
Shirley blushed and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry! It was all my idea."
"It doesn't matter. He was indeed eliminated a long time ago. What's left here is just a corpse." He just felt sympathetic and funny when he saw his companion's "corpse" being blown away.
Qian Le looked at the water all over the ground, then looked at the water tank that was trapped by the mud and not completely exploded, and asked: "So where did the ghost go?"
The explosion was so powerful that dirt flew everywhere and most of the water tanks were blown into pieces. Now only the bottom of the water tanks is left, and there is not much water left in it, which can be seen clearly at a glance.
"I did see a pair of hands reaching out from the water tank and dragging Lin Yi in." said a player, afraid that no one would believe it.
There was nothing at the bottom of the tank except a pool of water, and they didn't see anyone except Lin Yi.
Everyone looked around. Eddie squatted beside the remaining water tank and looked around, but he found nothing.
Keli looked at the mess on the ground, with water stains flowing everywhere, even his feet were soaked. He looked at his companions who were still looking for the ghost, and suddenly said, "Do you think this ghost can become invisible? It can't be seen after diving into the water."
It was just a guess, but Zhou Zhou nodded in agreement: "It's possible."
The smile on Keli's face froze. Looking at the water under his feet, he immediately jumped to a place without water.
Eddie: "That's impossible. If that's the case, how can we catch him?"
Qian Le walked towards the waterless ground and said casually: "You can wait for the surrounding water to dry up. If the water on the ground is dry, it means it is still in the tank. If there is a place that is always wet, it means that it can really... Ouch, something is pulling my foot!"
Everyone immediately looked at Qian Le. He was only one step away from the dry ground, and a pale hand stretched out from the puddle at the bottom of his feet, tightly grasping his ankle and pulling him down.
Eddie, who was closest to him, ran and shouted, "I'll help you!"
Others also ran over here. They originally thought that this hand was just grabbing Qian Le, but Qian Le's feet were actually sinking gradually. The wet ground under the water was like mud, gradually submerging his feet.
Eddie arrived first and pulled Qian Le's arm hard, "Let's pull this damn thing out together!"
Other people also came over. Even if the hand on the ground was very strong, it could not defeat so many people.
Veins bulged on the pale hands, and wrists and arms gradually became visible. The ghost suddenly let go and retracted his grip. The people who were caught off guard were unable to retract their force and fell backwards all of a sudden.
As the arm retracted, Elvia, who did not go to help Qian Le, grabbed the arm and dragged it out.
The players got up from the ground cursing, and found that Elvia and Zhou Zhou were prepared, so they immediately cheered them up.
Zhou Zhou originally wanted to go up and pull it together with Elvia. After all, this ghost was very strong, and it would take several players working together to defeat it. But at this time, Elvia grabbed the other's arm with one hand and slowly dragged it out.
The water marks on the ground connected into one, and the ghost's entire body gradually revealed itself.
His skin was pale without a trace of blood, his spine was prominent, and every rib in front of him could be seen clearly. He looked extremely thin, but his arms were very strong. He was only wearing a pair of tattered pants, his messy long hair was draped behind his back, and a sharp whistle came from his mouth.
The ghost that was pulled out struggled hard, and its sharp teeth tried to bite Elvia from time to time, but it was dodged one by one. The pupils in its eyes were very small, so the whites of its eyes looked very obvious.
"Is this a ghost?" The players were very curious, but they didn't dare to go forward. After all, the ghost's claws were very sharp. What if they were scratched by one claw and were eliminated?
Alvia easily subdued the ghost, but the ghost was too noisy and its voice was too sharp, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Zhou noticed it almost the moment Elvia frowned.
He stared at the ghost and asked, "How can we eliminate this water ghost?"
Keli was still thinking: "It's called Water Ghost?"
Others have already started offering ideas.
Shirley: "Give him a knife?"
Keli: "Break the neck?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Alvia broke the ghost's neck neatly, but what was shocking was that the ghost's neck was extremely flexible and it turned back the next moment, baring its teeth at Alvia viciously.
"Where's the knife? Do you have a knife?"
"I have some here."
But stabbing with a knife didn't work either. The water ghost looked very weak and the knife couldn't penetrate it at all.
Qian Le scratched his head and asked, "How about trying burning it?"
The water ghost seemed to understand what the player said. It suddenly turned to Qian Le and glared at him with hatred.
After all, this is just a game. Although everyone felt a little uncomfortable, they still tied the water ghost to a pillar and set it on fire.
When the screams of the water ghosts were heard, everyone turned their heads away with some discomfort, thinking that this method seemed a little cruel.
After that, the screams gradually became smaller and the fire gradually died out. When everyone thought that they had finally successfully eliminated the first ghost, Zhou Zhou looked at the task panel and shook his head: "It's not dead."
"How is that possible? Weren't they all burned to death?"
Shirley also opened the task panel and found that a number had appeared on it at some point.
0/10
"You mean there are ten ghosts in total, and we haven't killed any of them yet?"
Shirley looked up at the fire, but there was too much smoke and dust to see anything.
When the smoke and dust became smaller, everyone went over and found that there was nothing on the pillar and the water ghost had escaped.
Alvia looked at a small puddle of water that was about to dry up not far from the ground and frowned: "I was careless. That ghost can escape anywhere as long as there is water."
"I knew this ghost copy couldn't be so simple. Now we can't even catch the first one."
"Even if we catch it, how do we destroy it?"
"Keep using the fire. I'll go look for something flammable and see if I can use it then."
While discussing, everyone avoided places with water.
Qian Le also tiptoed to avoid the water marks on the ground, but the capacity of the water tank that was blown up was very large, and the entire courtyard was covered with water marks, so even if he was careful, he couldn't avoid stepping on them.
"That ghost is here again!" Qian Le shouted. This time, half of the water ghost emerged from the ground and tried desperately to drag Qian Le underground. When he turned his head, both of Qian Le's legs sank into the water.
He was crawling on the ground, shouting in anger: "Why is it always me? Can't you find someone else to catch me?"
The water ghost turned a deaf ear and in a few seconds Qian Le's body was half sunk. Others also ran over, but this time the water ghost let go of his hand and dived into the ground.
When everyone thought the water ghost had escaped, Qian Le started shouting again.
"Hurry, hurry, pull me up! He's pulling my feet from below!"
Half of Qian Le's body had sunk into the ground. The water ghost was very cunning and actually dived underground, so the players couldn't catch him at all.
Qian Le was finally rescued. He looked like he had fallen into the water, with half of his body soaked.
Zhou Zhou also tried it when Qian Le fell in. The ground around Qian Le was hard and cold, and the player could not enter the underground.
Qian Le was exhausted. He didn't care whether there was water on the ground or not. He lay on the ground gasping for breath. The other players stared at the water marks around them vigilantly, fearing that the water ghost would suddenly appear again.
The situation was at a stalemate for a while. The water ghost relied on its own advantages to come out to harass from time to time, but it seemed to hate Qian Le very much and went straight to him several times.
In the end, it was Elvia who used Qian Le as bait and caught the water ghost.
The players found rapeseed oil in the temple's kitchen and thought the fire attack would be successful, but it only scalded the water ghosts and made them scream.
The surface of the water ghost's skin can secrete moisture, and the blazing flames were quickly wetted and extinguished.
Now everyone is surrounding this tenacious water ghost and no one can do anything about it.
As the night deepened, the water ghost seemed to know that the players present had no way to deal with him, and he actually let out a hideous and eerie laugh, like the sound of nails scratching on a blackboard, which was extremely uncomfortable to hear.
Keli grimaced when he heard this, and wished he could find something to plug the ghost's mouth.
The others also frowned.
Shirley simply covered her ears and said, "We can't just sit there like this. There are still nine of them. How can we complete the mission if we continue like this?"
These ghosts cannot be without flaws, and as for how to eliminate them, we may need to look for them in the temple. Elvia thought carefully about the various things she had seen in the temple, wondering if there was any that could kill ghosts.
Zhou Zhou didn't say anything. He was rummaging around in his pocket for something. After a while, he turned his head and looked around. Shirley didn't understand what he was doing.
We stayed in the courtyard and placed some lighting equipment next to the huge incense burner, so it wasn't too dark. The water ghost looked at the players with gloomy faces, and his strange laughter sounded very proud, while the long hair behind him was quietly growing at a very slow pace.
Qian Le couldn't figure it out. After competing with the water ghost for so long, he was so exhausted that he dragged a cushion out of the hall and sat cross-legged on it to rest.
As if his sixth sense had struck him, he suddenly turned his head and looked behind him, but there was nothing behind him.
He turned his head suspiciously, looking at the water ghost who was tied up, and felt that he might be overly suspicious.
The long black hair grew quietly and penetrated into the ground covered by her body.
The water ghost's body always keeps moisture on its surface, so the ground where he is has long become damp and even accumulated water stains, which made his long hair penetrate through the water stains. The hair seems to have life and is extremely flexible.
A small circular water mark slowly appeared on the ground behind Qian Le, and then the circle continued to expand, gradually forming a water mark the size of a fist.
The moment Zhou Zhou and Elvia noticed it, the water ghost's hair emerged from the circular water mark and quickly wrapped around Qian Le's neck.
Qian Le didn't even have time to shout for help before his neck was strangled tightly.
As if intending to kill Qian Le, the water ghost's hair became tighter and tighter, and within a few breaths, Qian Le's face turned red.
Others went up to help remove the hair, while others rushed directly towards the water ghost to make it stop immediately.
But this time the water ghost was determined to kill Qian Le, so the players were helpless for a while.
"Where's the knife! Use the knife to cut off my hair!" Shirley shouted anxiously.
One of the three players was carrying a knife, and he hurriedly took out his knife and wanted to cut off the water ghost's hair.
But its hair is as tough as its skin and cannot be cut at all.
"No! I can't cut it!"
The water ghost seemed very excited, with a malicious smile on his black lips.
Just when everyone thought Qian Le was definitely going to die this time, a white hand reached out to the water ghost and stuck a yellow rectangular piece of paper on the water ghost's forehead.
The next moment, the water ghost, who still had a malicious smile on his face, seemed to have been paused and stood still.
The hair seemed to have lost its vitality, detaching from Qian Le's neck and falling gently and silently to the ground.
Qian Le could finally breathe. He was gasping for air, his entire face turning blue from holding it in. He was almost, almost eliminated.
Everyone looked at the hand that took out the note, and their eyes turned to the owner of the hand, Zhou Zhou.
"Zhou Zhou, what did you do? What kind of prop is this? It's so useful." Shirley said excitedly.
Zhou Zhou shook his head innocently under everyone's gaze: "I don't know, it was in my pocket when I touched it just now."
Keli subconsciously touched his pockets. Good, they were completely empty. There was nothing in them.
There were red symbols on the yellow paper sticky on the water ghost's forehead, but no one could understand what those symbols meant.
Eddie was very interested in these things. He originally wanted to get closer to see what kind of paper or prop it was, but he found that the piece of paper moved automatically without wind and then burned from the bottom.
Eddie panicked: "Oh no, the note is burning!"
From the moment the note burned, Alvia and Zhou Zhou found that the surrounding environment changed instantly. There was a layer of smoke all around them, and the smoke became thicker the closer they got to them.
At once everyone realized something was wrong and they immediately huddled together, looking around vigilantly.
Elvia looked to the side suddenly, and a person suddenly appeared next to the water ghost. This person was taller than Heya, more than three meters tall.
The smoke obscured the other person's face, and everyone could feel that a very powerful and imposing person appeared beside them.
"Could it be that the water ghost's companions came to rescue it?" Qian Le couldn't help but guess.
The man walked straight towards the water ghosts, getting closer and closer to them.
Contrary to Qian Le's guess, when the water ghost who recovered after the note burned found the other party, he did not see the joy of his companion. Instead, he was terrified. His tied body twisted violently in an attempt to escape, and he kept screaming in fear and terror. He was even more terrified than when he was burned before.
When the other party gradually approached, everyone was shocked when they saw each other's face and figure through the smoke. Qian Le and Keli couldn't close their mouths. Shirley even began to wonder if there was something wrong with her eyes.
Zhou Zhou looked up at the other person, his eyes wide open in shock.
"Why is it him!?"
The author has something to say:
