According to his understanding, water ghosts are not scary, but the little fog monster is quite troublesome.

Wherever there is thick fog, there may be a little fog demon, such as swamps, mountain passes, and the banks of rivers and lakes. If there is no fog, the little fog demon can also create or summon thick fog.

Thick fog not only keeps the little mist elves hidden, but also serves as a weapon. They manipulate the fog to make travelers alone, unable to see the road, and unable to hear the sound. Like fireflies, they emit a faint light to attract lost people to their nests in swamps, caves, or ravines.

They look similar to goblins, but are uglier monsters with sharp claws and powerful arms, which are more powerful than knives when wielded.

What's more troublesome is that their intelligence is much higher than that of water ghosts, and they are good at deceiving, seducing and confusing people.

The little fog demon often does not need to attack people at all. It just needs to drive its prey crazy and walk into the swamp, and then wait for the prey to drown in the water.

Recalling the knowledge recorded in the book, Wayne followed Geralt, following the traces of footprints on the ground, and soon reached the end of the corridor.

It was a gate with exquisite sculptures carved on it, and outside it was darkness.

However, with the witcher's dark vision, Wayne and Geralt could clearly see that there was a spacious viewing platform outside the door, and in the center of the platform was an arched stone bridge that was nearly 100 meters long.

Before they got close, the two could hear the faint sound of flowing water coming from under the stone bridge and platform, as well as the unique croaking sounds of the water ghosts when they talked and moved.

Realizing that they were getting closer to the monster, they both slowed down their movements, focused more carefully, and moved slowly and cautiously to the periphery of the platform.

When they reached the edge of the platform surrounded by marble railings, a terrifying scene appeared before their eyes.

I saw that under the hundred-meter-long arched bridge was a huge pond similar to an ornamental pond.

This place seems to have been professionally designed. The end of the pond seems to be connected to a flowing underground river. Clean water continuously flows into the pond, keeping the water level here at half a person's height. Some ornamental plants that can survive in a dark environment are growing luxuriantly.

However, due to long-term lack of management and the special terrain, there are now dozens of water ghosts of all sizes gathered in the entire pond. They seem to regard this place as their nest and are running around happily in the pond, looking free and easy.

Wayne took a breath when he saw this. Although water ghosts were not powerful monsters, it would be difficult to deal with such a large number of them.

Geralt seemed to be used to big storms and waves. There was no expression on his face. He turned around to look at Wayne, pointed at the marble railings of the platform and the exits connecting to the pond on both sides of the platform, and made a defensive posture.

Wayne immediately understood what he meant. The platform where the two were standing was several meters above the bottom of the pond. With the jumping ability of the water ghost, it was impossible to climb onto the platform from other locations.

As long as the two of them held the two narrow stairs at the edge of the platform, they could use the terrain to their advantage and limit the number of enemies they had to face to one or two.

He nodded at Geralt, then pointed to the staircase on the right, indicating that he would be responsible for defending the right side.

But when he really reached that position, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

This was the first time he faced so many monsters. In the past, he rarely dealt with multiple enemies. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. But in addition to fear, he was more excited.

He stood at the entrance above the stairs, looking at the dozens of water ghosts inside the pond. After thinking for a few seconds, he selected the strongest one among them, drew an Axis seal gesture with his left fingers towards the air, held his breath, and gently pushed forward.

Deception.

Its running body suddenly stopped. After being stunned for a second or two, it immediately shook its head and roared angrily, raised its sharp claws, and grabbed the water ghost closest to it fiercely.

With a hissing sound, blood splattered everywhere.

This water ghost was very powerful, and its attack was so sudden that its claw went straight into the belly of another water ghost, breaking its round belly and pulling out all its internal organs.

However, the water ghost's vitality was quite amazing. Even after suffering such a fatal injury, it did not die immediately.

Although it was unclear why its companions suddenly attacked it, the violent gene hidden in its body immediately drove it to fight back.

The water ghost didn't think at all, and its sharp claws grabbed the strong water ghost's neck directly, cutting the flesh and blood vessels. A large amount of blood gushed out and sprayed directly onto its body.

The other water ghosts surrounding the strong water ghost did not hesitate at all. They did not consider why their companions suddenly attacked them. Instead, they chose to rush forward and tear the strong water ghost into countless pieces.

Wayne was excited after solving the two enemies in an instant. However, just when he wanted to continue to use the Axis Seal and repeat the same trick, a sharp-eyed water ghost in the pond had already discovered his trace.

With the roar of the water ghost, the whole pond immediately fell into chaos, and almost all the water ghosts realized that an enemy had entered their territory, and they all ran wildly on all fours, rushing towards his position excitedly.

However, Wayne was not fighting alone. Geralt, who was standing at the stairs on the left, found that Wayne had started to attack, so he also followed suit and used an Axis Sign, causing a water ghost running towards Wayne to immediately turn around and attack his companion.

Although this water ghost was instantly dismembered by the surrounding water ghosts, Geralt's actions successfully divided half of the enemies.

But even so, Wayne still saw nearly thirty water ghosts running towards him.

If we wait until they all crowd to the stairs and have to use the silver sword to attack them, it will be a difficult and long battle.

Perhaps, offense is the best defense.

This thought flashed through Wayne's mind, and he rolled over and stood on the railing of the platform. He reached into his waist bag and took out a pineapple-sized honeycomb bomb and threw it slightly in front of the center of the water ghosts.

At the same time, he gathered the magic power needed for an Igni Seal in his hands and drew a seal in the air.

The moment the honeycomb bomb fell into the group of water ghosts, he pushed his right hand forward suddenly, and an orange-red flame instantly enveloped the honeycomb bomb and the water ghosts around it.

There was a loud bang.

Under the cover of flames, the honeycomb bomb suddenly exploded, directly causing serious injuries to the five water ghosts around it. The shock wave formed by the bomb also blew more water ghosts around it away from their original places and rolled on the ground.

Successfully destroyed their crazy momentum of rushing over in a swarm.
