From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

Chapter 73 The Siege of Water Ghosts

"Hide in the cabin."

Yi Xing kicked the already frightened boatman, and then the unlucky guy rolled and crawled to the cabin, while the others surrounded the sides of the boat to guard against the attack of water ghosts.

"Pay attention to the left and right, these things jump very high, don't be thrown into the water, otherwise the gods will be hard to save."

Lin Xiaochuan held a long stick, guarding left and right, and at the same time reminded loudly that after all, they were water ghosts. Once they got into the water, these things were like swimming fish, and ordinary people would only be slaughtered.

It was already night now, but through the moonlight, one could see the continuous splashes of water on the river.Those were issued by the water ghosts, and the crackling sounded non-stop, as if there were thousands of carp flopping on the river.

boom!
A water ghost jumped onto the deck, and the nearby captors immediately slashed at it with knives, but was blocked by the water ghost's arm.

Not only are the dark green scales thick, but the water ghost's strength is also much stronger than ordinary people.

Seeing that the arrester was hard to resist, Li Tong rushed over, stabbed down, and opened a big mouth on the water ghost's back, causing it to howl in pain.

But as more and more water ghosts jumped up, the scene began to get out of control, and everyone had to retreat. Although they killed a few water ghosts, the resistance seemed negligible given the sheer number.

In this kind of chaotic battle, Lin Xiaochuan's long stick was much easier to use than a sword. He greeted the water ghost with a crackling sound, and even knocked many of them back into the water.

Most importantly, his little cold stick has a restraining effect on demons, and it can receive miraculous effects without using too much force, which allows him to preserve most of his physical and internal strength.

Lin Xiaochuan could handle it well, but the others couldn't. They retreated step by step, and finally retreated to the cabin to hold on.

The cabin was relatively narrow, and it was difficult to take advantage of the number of water ghosts. Under the leadership of Yi Xing, Li Tong and Wang Yu guarded the left and right, and guarded the arrester and the boatman behind.

The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while, Lin Xiaochuan stood on the highest point outside, guarding the upper edge of the cabin, while inside the cabin, there were guards by Yi Xing and others. The water ghost had no choice but to retreat.

"No, they're digging the bottom of the boat."

Although Yi Xing and the others heard some abnormal noises, they didn't pay attention to them, but the boatman could tell that it was the sound of the bottom of the boat being dug, and he shouted immediately.

At this moment, everyone panicked. If a hole was dug out of the bottom of the boat, the boat would sink if it entered the water.

And when the boat sank, they would also fall into the water. The water was dominated by these green-skinned creatures, and they were almost dead.

"Go to punting and go to the shore on the left."

Lin Xiaochuan yelled from above the cabin. He stood tall and could see clearly that they were only a hundred feet away from the left bank.

But here comes the problem, the direction is given, but who will punctuate the boat?
The punting had to go to the stern, after all, the rudder was there, and now three of the four boatmen had died, and everyone turned their attention to the only one boatman.

The boatman was terrified. He was not very old, and now he was looking at everyone with pleading eyes, obviously not wanting to go.

"Either you go there now, or I will hack you to death. After all, you are a boatman, and a boatman without the helm is worthless."

Yi Xing said coldly, the boatman immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yi Xing.

"If you used to punting in the past, you may not necessarily die, but if you don't go punting, you will die now. I will give you three breaths to consider."

Yi Xing put the knife in front of him, it was still stained with green blood, and the murderous aura rushed towards him.

The boatman thought for a moment, stood up tremblingly, Yi Xing nodded, and immediately opened the way with his saber, Wang Yu and Li Tong guarded the left and right, and the captors followed behind.

A group of people fought their way out of the water ghosts and came to the stern of the boat. The boatman was at the helm, while others protected him and fought with the water ghosts.

"The speed is too slow, need to punt."

The boatman is at the helm and can adjust the direction, but cannot increase the speed. If they are in their current state, it will take at least half an hour to reach the shore.

The hull of the boat was already tilted slightly, and it was obviously sinking. It seemed that the bottom of the boat had been dug out. If they didn't hurry up, they might be hanging.

"I'll punt the boat, you protect me."

Lin Xiaochuan had already rushed over, and immediately stretched Xiaohan's stick into the water behind him and propped it up.

"Your stick is too short."

Yi Xing yelled and slashed a water ghost back.

"Enough is enough, trust me."

Lin Xiaochuan also yelled back. After all, the Xiaohan stick can be extended, and he already felt that it touched the bottom of the water.

The Weihe River is relatively shallow, and most places are only about ten meters, so the draft is limited, and large ships cannot go there.

Because of this, most boatmen use poles.Lin Xiaochuan doesn't have much skills, but he can still hold the bottom of the water and push forward.

With Lin Xiaochuan's strength, the speed was naturally much faster, but the water ghosts became more and more crazy, as if they had discovered their purpose, not only rushed forward desperately, but also accelerated the action of destroying the bottom of the ship below.

The speed of the official ship sinking was getting faster and faster. They saw that everyone's feet were covered with water, but they didn't have time to take care of it. Just these water ghosts were enough for them to work.

The water ghosts fought more and more, and the defensive circle became smaller and smaller. At this moment, a miserable howl was heard, and the boatman was grabbed by the ankles of the water ghosts and dragged into the water.

Seeing him struggling on the surface of the water, a group of water ghosts surrounded him, and after a few breaths, he sank to the bottom of the water and never came up again.

A catcher with sharp eyesight and quick hands stabilized the rudder. Lin Xiaochuan felt that it would be useless to hold on any longer, so he immediately retracted his stick and protected one side.

Seeing that there were only a dozen feet left from the left bank, but they had already run to the top of the ship building, and the whole ship had sunk underwater, unable to move at all. These ten feet were hopeless.

"Use the thunderbolt to clear the way, drive away the water ghosts, and then we will jump to the shore, if we can't jump, we will swim over."

Yi Xing yelled, and then jumped to the shore together.

His qinggong was not bad, he hit two stepping feet in a row, and fell into the water three feet away from the river bank, but fortunately the water here was only a few feet deep, not even waist high.

"This is a shallow beach, hurry up."

Yi Xing yelled, at this time Wang Yu and Li Tong had already ignited a few iron balls in their hands and threw them into the water, and heard a loud noise, setting off a huge water column.

"Is this thing a mine?"

Lin Xiaochuan clicked his lips, he knew that the God Catcher handles Jianghu affairs, and he got a lot of strange things from the Jianghu, such as some mechanism traps. Unexpectedly, there are such treasures.

This Thunderbolt is a well-known hidden weapon in Jianghu. The gunpowder inside is made of thin iron outside. The principle is very simple, but very few can be made.

God Catch Sect has a special department that makes this kind of mechanism hidden weapons. This time they went to Yizhou, Yi Xing was afraid of accidents, so he asked Wang Yu and Li Tong to bring a few. Unexpectedly, they would come in handy so soon.

The water ghost was bombarded by the thunderbolt, and he didn't approach for a while, everyone immediately seized the opportunity and jumped into the river.

Compared with other people, Lin Xiaochuan is much more leisurely, his own lightness kung fu is better than others, and the little cold stick can also be used as a leverage.

I saw Lin Xiaochuan leaping in the air, stepping on his feet, and then falling backwards.

The little cold stick in his hand was pinched down, just entering the bottom of the water, then he hit the little cold stick with his left hand for strength, and covered the head of the stick with his right hand, letting him go with him. After two rounds in a row, he landed steadily on the shore.

Before he could groan, he suddenly felt the soil loosen under his feet, and retreated instinctively, and saw a hand stretched out from where he was standing just now.

"Sneak attack me, seek death."

Lin Xiaochuan knew that the water ghost could not only swim in the water, but also dive into the sand, so he immediately picked up a small cold stick and poked it down, a green blood spurt out, almost covering his face.

At this time, Yi Xing also felt something strange under his feet, and immediately picked up the steel knife, and the knife blades were blasted into the ground, setting off countless waves of green blood, splashing him all over.

Fortunately, although water ghosts are terrifying, they are not poisonous, unlike zombies.

Lin Xiaochuan and Yi Xing didn't work for a while, Wang Yu, Li Tong and others went ashore, and immediately ran towards the high place on the bank without having time to think about it.

Water ghosts can go ashore to attack people, but their feet are really inconvenient to move, and being out of water for a long time will make them quickly fall into a state similar to dehydration, so they will not go up the mountain.

"Let's go too." Lin Xiaochuan yelled, and immediately retreated quickly. Yi Xing didn't care about fighting. Seeing more and more water ghosts rushing towards the shore, he immediately spread his pace and rushed towards the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, when everyone turned their heads, they saw countless water ghosts surrounding the bank, screaming at them, but they didn't move forward.

It seems that this catastrophe is over.
