Chapter 287: Ghouls
The water was very muddy, and even if I opened my eyes in time, the visibility was very limited, and I groped in the water for nearly a minute, but still did not touch the body of the stone, and then I already felt a little lack of oxygen in my brain, so I hurriedly surfaced to take a breath.
I looked back, Ji Xueyan hadn't come ashore yet, the river was not too wide, but it was very deep, a minute had passed, would the stone have drowned!
I dived into the water again, and suddenly I felt something rushing up from under my body, and I quickly drew my dagger, ready to attack, and when the black thing came to me, I realized that it was a stone. I quickly pulled him to the surface, the stone breathed in the fresh air, looking frightened, he also held a dagger in his hand, and I could faintly smell a smell of blood.
"Are you hurt?" I pulled him and swam towards where Ji Xueyan was.
The stone relieved himself before he trembled and said to me, "No, I stabbed it with a dagger, hurry ashore, I'm afraid there is more than one thing in the water!"
"What the hell is that?" I looked back and saw that nothing was coming, and the yin qi was not as obvious as before, so it must have been injured and fled. Since there is yin qi, it means that this thing is very likely to be a water ghost, and to deal with water ghosts, the Hades ruler is very suitable. I took out the Hades ruler, drew an exorcism talisman on the water, and then beckoned Shi and Ji Xueyan to swim towards the shore.
Stone gasped and said to me, "I didn't see clearly, it looks like a person!"
"It's people, how is this possible, how can people stay in the water all the time and not suffocate to death!" Ji Xueyan was surprised.
I nodded, "It's not important, the important thing is that we have to get ashore quickly."
We swam to the shore and made another difficulty, the water surface is more than two meters away from the shore, if it is on flat ground, this distance can be crossed, now in the water, there is no point of strength, it is almost impossible to go up!
I was at a loss, looking at the stone and frowning, neither of us spoke, the expressions on everyone's faces at the moment were not good-looking, the stone and I were both injured, if I really fought with that thing in the water, Ji Xueyan was powerless, the three of us would definitely suffer a big loss, and if we didn't get it right, it would be the end of the whole army!
I asked the stone to take out the Soul Eater Seal, and watch around, ready to start fighting whenever the situation came. The stone is not ambiguous, the two of us blocked Ji Xueyan behind us, and at the same time thought of a way in our hearts, how can we go up, soak in the water for a long time, even if that thing doesn't appear, we can't stand it, and the skin will fester!
"Sister Xueyan, you have to think of a way, Brother Tian and I won't be able to last long, you will leave first when you have a chance, leave us alone!" The stone stared intently at the water in front of him, and did not forget to tease.
Ji Xueyan gently punched him from behind: "When is it, it's still kidding, if I can have it, I will still use you!" You'd better take care of yourselves! ”
"It's coming!" Suddenly, the stone lifted the Soul Eater Seal above his head and stared at the river and said to us.
I was shocked, and quickly took the Hades ruler out of the water, and quickly opened the light with the finger of the sword, as long as that thing dared to approach, I would definitely give it a head start, even if I couldn't kill it, I would cripple it!
I did see a ripple in the water, and I felt a heart in my throat, lest any of us be hurt again, and I was ready to do my best to let them be hurt again this time, no matter what. Along the way, it seems that all bad things are caused by me, I am a pure yin body, and Mr. Yin and Yang, the easiest thing to provoke unclean things, especially after learning the secret of Yin and Yang Heavenly Punishment, I always feel that seeing ghosts has become an indispensable existence in life, think about this period of time, almost every day to see ghosts, even if I don't see ghosts one day, most of them will have nightmares, I am about to be driven crazy!
When the ripples gradually disappeared, I still didn't see anything coming to the surface, and I didn't notice the yin qi, but when I looked closely, there were a few carp the size of palms swimming around us in the water. I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said to them, "Don't be afraid, it's just a fish!"
"Look, this fish was bitten to death by something!" Stone scooped up a half-pulled carp from the water and yelled at us in horror.
The fish had indeed just died, and there was blood spilling from the fracture of its body, and it looked like it had been bitten alive by something. This thing should be fierce, for the sake of safety, I asked the stone to be alert to movement on the water, and I opened my eyes to dive into the water, responsible for keeping an eye on the movement in the water, only need to come out every once in a while to change the breath.
At first, nothing happened, but after about two minutes, suddenly the yin aura appeared again, and I was just about to surface my head to remind them, when suddenly I saw a black thing swimming towards me under the water. It wasn't until I swam less than three meters away that I could see what it looked like.
It was a terrifying creature that looked like a man, he was completely black, as if he had just come out of the coal kiln, those eyes were dead gray, those were the eyes of a dead man, and those terrifying eyes were looking straight at me.
When I saw those ghost eyes, I immediately recognized them, I had never seen them, but I had heard Master describe them, they should be ghouls. Master told me that a ghoul is a type of person who has drowned in water, and their corpse has not been recovered, but it happens to be buried in the corpse raising ground by mud and sand, where the corpse does not decay, even in the water, and the water is yin, and the ghoul formed in this case has no less terrifying power than the drought fish. They are very resentful, once they target someone, they will try to drag him into the water and drown, they have no purpose in harming people, they are not looking for a stand-in, and the ghouls do not need a stand-in, because their souls still have not left the body, they cannot enter the underworld, so they will naturally not be reincarnated. Chen Danian, who was imprisoned in the River Styx back then, is a good example, I guess it also evolved from ghouls, otherwise how could it have such a great ability to cover the sky and the sun!
Seeing that it was about to reach out and grab me with its black ghost claws, I hurriedly pushed up, surfaced, took a deep breath, and said to the stone, "It's ...... down there."
Halfway through my sentence, it grabbed me by the leg and dragged me into the water, choking on a few mouthfuls of water, and suddenly felt a pang of discomfort in my chest. The ghoul dragged me deeper and deeper, and as I got farther and farther away from the water, my brain began to starve of oxygen, and my mind began to become confused......
