177. Water ghosts

Seeing the two crew members lying on the deck under the mainmast and falling asleep, Roy and Claire immediately rushed to the crew's side and splashed the few remaining pieces of water with the power of holy light on the faces of the two crew members.

Before Roy could wake up the sleeping crew lying on the deck, he heard Claire, who was standing nearby, say in a somewhat strange voice:

"Roy, look at what that is?"

Claire stared straight in the direction of the bow of the boat.

There was a light veil-like black mist on the ship......

Roy followed Claire's gaze and happened to see a black figure lying on the deck, the black shadow lying on the body of a seafarer, his body shaking......

He took two steps towards the black shadow, and the black figure sensed something and suddenly raised his head.

It was a wet water ghost, with a mouth full of blood, a skull full of rotten flesh, and its clothes were in tatters, with some bones of Bai Sensen exposed on its arms and thighs, and seaweed hanging from its tattered clothes.

The face was tattered, but the mouth was full of blood, and when he spotted Roy, Claire, and the elven acolyte, he immediately abandoned the crew that had been gnawed by it.

Without hesitation, it crawled towards Roy, its face hideous, and a trace of sticky blood hanging from the corner of its mouth.

It had no eyes at all, and it couldn't see the soul fire in its sockets, and Roy flipped through some books in the Liberty library and came across a book about introducing alien creatures.

The priests of the Temple of Liberty believed that the water spirit, which was often found in some rivers, was considered a lowly living corpse, not even an undead creature.

The elven attendant let out a frightened and desperate cry, and the moment he saw the water ghost, he had already collapsed.

The crew who fell asleep against the mainmast woke up from time to time......

Claire had already pulled out the long dagger at his waist, and this dagger was not the unbladed dagger he had practiced with Roy on the training ground, but a sharp silver-plated long dagger with the pattern of a phoenix flower engraved on it, and when he held it in his hand, a faint wind element surrounded the blade of the dagger.

The Nautilus's current location is considered to be in the open sea, and Roy can't figure out how there are water ghosts here.

"Water ghost, be careful of the corpse poison in his teeth and nails, this guy has no mind, completely relies on the instinctive action of the living corpse, if you want to kill it, you have to cut off its head, in addition, this guy has no vision, they rely on identifying the surrounding temperature and taste, and perceive the opponents around them." Roy said quickly.

This time, he took out the scepter that exuded a divine aura directly from his magic waist bag, turned his head to look at the elven attendant who was already paralyzed with fright, and glanced at Claire, and the two rushed towards the water ghost from the left and right sides very tacitly.

The blood-stained water spirit rose from the deck, and after drinking the blood of a crew member, its body seemed to be re-energized......

The wet body became very powerful, probably smelling the dangerous breath in the air, and the water ghost swooped down in the direction of Roy.

A shimmer of divine light floated on the deck, illuminating the water ghost's movements clearly.

Roy was not prepared to entangle with a water ghost without any mind, he rushed to the water ghost with his shield in his hand, and the divine scepter in his hand slammed into the water ghost's head.

The water ghost blocked Roy's scepter with an arm covered in rotten flesh, and grabbed Roy's shield with the other, and pounced on Roy with his stinking body.

The Divine Scepter smashed on the water ghost's arm, and a wave of holy light power surged out, instantly burning a large piece of the water ghost's tattered arm, and the rest of the rotten flesh was constantly emitting green smoke.

The water ghost crashed into Roy's shield, and the sheer force knocked Roy back a few steps.

A bone hand covered with rotten flesh clung to the edge of Roy's shield, and Roy took a few steps back, and the water ghost was dragged to follow......

The rotten face, which was blue and white soaked in water, also opened its mouth wide, as if it wanted to bite Roy.

Before it could stick its neck out, Claire emerged from the water ghost's back, holding a long dagger in her hand, almost sticking it into the water ghost's throat.

Then, Claire pulled the dagger into her arms and cut off the head of the water ghost.

The foul-smelling skull 'grunted' rolled down the deck, and the water ghost who lost his head instantly turned into a pile of foul-smelling mud, all the rotten flesh was detached from the bones, and some of the bones came out, making it look disgusting.

After killing a water ghost that had climbed onto the Nautilus, Roy and Claire hurriedly ran to the crew member who was covered in blood from the water ghost's gnaw.

Blood flowed onto the deck, and the crew's throats were bitten open by the water ghosts, and their eyes were dilated, and they were already dead.

Claire reached over the crew's wide-open eyes and told him to close them.

The two seamen, who were lying next to the mainmast, had come to their senses, and the two of them were pale with fright at the sight of the ship's convulsions......

Claire held a long dagger stained with corpse blood and commanded the two seamen:

"Do you two still have the strength to wake up the rest of the ship?"

The two crew members, who were obviously much stronger than the elven attendants, hurriedly helped each other to their feet, and replied:

"We can do ......"

"Then hurry up and wake up the captain and the other elves on board!"

Claire commanded the two crew members with a serious expression.

The two crew members immediately straightened up and replied, "Yes!" ”

After saying that, he ran in the direction of the ship, and Roy, who was standing on the side, poured the holy light into the kettle, and shouted to the two crew members:

"Wait, take this! Throw this water in their faces, and they should wake up......"

Roy handed the kettle over.

One of the crew members hurriedly held the kettle tightly in his hand and ran towards the shipbuilding with vague steps, the first elves they needed to wake up were of course the captain and the ship's guards.

Roy walked briskly towards the other two sleeping crew members, a large, bony hand resting on the side of the ship, and then a water ghost showed its head, its face like a melting candle, and an eye hanging from the outside of its socket.

Seeing the water ghost climb onto the boat, Claire rushed up quickly, and turned to the side of the water ghost with great dexterity, trying to cut off the water ghost's head with a long dagger.

The water ghost pinpointedly blocked Claire's long dagger with one arm, and the other took the opportunity to grab Claire's wrist.

Claire flipped the dagger in her hand and sliced off one of the water ghost's arms in one fell swoop.

However, Claire's arm was also grabbed by the water ghost, and Roy's left hand also turned out a dagger and quickly smeared it on the water ghost's neck.

The head of the second water ghost fell in response, and the water ghost, which had just been like steel and iron bones, was like a pile of mud.

Claire smirked and gestured to Roy......

Roy gestured to Claire's side.

And he condensed a ball of holy light and sent it into the body of the crew who had fallen into a nightmare, and sure enough, the power of the holy light could awaken them from the nightmare.

Claire looked at the water ghost heads exposed on the edge of the ship's side before she understood Roy's gestures......

A dozen water spirits flipped over the side of the ship and staggered towards Claire's encirclement.

There was no light on the ship, and Roy let the divine shimmer float a little higher, using this faint light to observe the situation around the Nautilus.

I don't know how many water ghosts gathered around, but these water ghosts climbed onto the deck and quickly found the target of the attack.

When Claire deals with a water ghost, she can use her speed and agility to kill the water ghost steadily.

But once she meets the two water ghosts leaning together, Claire doesn't know how to deal with them.

Several sneak attacks almost injured Claire herself.

A large number of water ghosts also appeared on the side of the ship on the other side of the Nautilus, and it was impossible to see how many water ghosts climbed onto the Nautilus for a while......

Roy encountered this situation for the first time.

Looking at the approaching water ghosts, he hesitated between fighting the water ghosts and saving people.

Shrouded in a faint black mist, Claire was forced into danger by the three water ghosts.

Roy immediately raised his shield and rushed over to block Claire, slamming the scepter of holy light in his hand on a water ghost, and the faint light burned a large part of the water ghost's body.

The water ghost let out a low roar, and Claire, who had just escaped from the pursuit of the three water ghosts, rushed over, and took advantage of the screams of the water ghost in front of Roy, and cut off its head with a long dagger again.

The two often practice together in the martial arts class of the Elf Academy, so Claire and Roy have a tacit understanding......

Roy held his shield in front of him, and Claire hid behind to sneak up.

The heads of the six water ghosts were quickly cut off, but to the despair of the two of them, the number of water ghosts climbing onto the boat had increased to dozens.

Roy and Claire couldn't take care of the sleeping crew on deck at the moment.

Several screams in a row, accompanied by the roar of the evil spirit, you don't need to look to know that it must be the spirit of the ship who has been killed.

Roy and Claire are forced to retreat by a group of water ghosts.

The two didn't dare to let the water ghosts surround them, worried that they wouldn't even be able to run away when the time came......

You can only retreat while fighting, until you reach the door of the shipbuilding.

The elven attendant didn't know where he had gone, and he couldn't see his shadow for a long time at this time.

As long as the water ghosts are not cut off their heads, they will not die at all, and they are not afraid of being hurt.

Roy was wearing thick leather armor and was in good shape.

Claire is wearing a light leather armor, although her body is light and her movements are flexible, but once she is caught by the water ghost, it can make Claire hurt for a long time.

"Where the hell did these water ghosts come from?" Claire couldn't help but grumble.

Roy used his shield to block a water spirit's attack, and began to chant some prayers, and then a god tattoo lit up on Roy's chest.

Perhaps the holy light was too dazzling, and some of the water ghosts who had squeezed in front of them saw the appearance of the divine pattern, and their bodies began to smoke slightly......

As Roy completes this god pattern.

In the midst of the prayers, the pattern dissipated.

A pillar of holy light fell straight from the sky above Roy's head, and the rich divine aura almost conjured up pieces of feathers of light fluttering in the air.

The pillar of light fell among the water spirits......

'Purification'

As long as the water ghost is illuminated by the pillar of light, it will quickly melt by this light.

Within the beam of light, several water spirits quickly dissolved.

To Roy's surprise, these water ghosts were purified by Roy, and a faint trace of soul power flew out of the water ghost's body, which was actually absorbed into his body by the tentacles of the Holy Light Seedling......

Although the soul power of each water ghost is invisible, in this moment's effort, Roy and Claire have already eliminated more than a dozen water ghosts.

A trace of soul power poured into his body, and Roy only felt that he was a little extra excited.

More water spirits huddled on the Nautilus's deck, and it looked like they couldn't be killed......

A water ghost suddenly pounced on Roy's shield and dragged Roy with his body, and Claire on the side used a dagger to cut a huge wound on the demon's neck, but unfortunately the head did not fall on the deck, and the cervical vertebrae were still attached.

The demon didn't immediately turn into a pile of mud, and the demons crowded behind it rushed over without saying anything......

Roy and Claire couldn't stop these water ghosts at all.

The water ghosts who rushed up from behind were even holding rusty weapons.

Two large, foul hands pressed against Roy's iron shield almost simultaneously, and Roy was pressed against the wall of the shipyard with a huge force.

Claire was also entangled by the other two water ghosts, and for a while, the water ghosts behind had already stretched their heads over and bit Roy's wrist......

Roy can't avoid it!

He couldn't retreat into the hallway alone and leave Claire outside.

He tried to use the divine scepter to push the head of the water ghost away, but although the water ghost's head was smoking, it still approached Roy's wrist step by step......

Just behind Roy and Claire, in the gate of the ship, an elven sword suddenly stretched out, and the sharp and smooth sword pierced directly into the water ghost's mouth, revealing the back of its head.

With a twist of the elven sword, the water ghost's head cracked like a water bag, and then its body immediately turned into a puddle of soft mud.

Edith's figure appeared from the door of the ship, she was a little embarrassed, wearing only a leather armor and holding an elven sword, but she was full of murderous energy.

When she saw the water ghosts gathered, she swung out the long sword in her hand, and suddenly the heads of the three water ghosts were cut off and flew out.

An elven warrior with a round shield appeared next to Edith, and he squeezed out first, blocking Roy's position and replacing Roy......

Roy didn't hesitate to unleash 'Purification' again.

A holy light fell, and several water ghosts were purified by Roy.

Edith glanced at Roy in surprise, and several young elves in leather armor rushed out of the ship.

The young elves clinged to each other and slew the water spirits that rushed to the door of the ship.

As more of the crew woke up and joined the fray, Edith led the young elves back on deck, but a large number of water spirits still climbed aboard.

When the captain of the Nautilus came out of the building with more than a dozen crew members fully armed, the situation was immediately stabilized.

Although these water ghosts were numerous, they were extremely weak, and soon the elves on the Nautilus cleared them out of the ship.

Roy and Claire leaned against the mainmast, finally able to take a break.

Roy only felt that the faint soul power floating in the sky was quickly absorbed by the Holy Light Seedlings, and the Holy Light Power consumed in his body was also rapidly recovering......
