Chapter 1673 Water Ghost Breeding
"Come here."

The group of four did not go to the office building of the warehouse, but after entering the warehouse, they used the key on the corpse to open the innermost door of the warehouse and went to the basement.

About one-third of the warehouse above the warehouse is filled with some mechanical parts, and the relatively dry underground stores flour and soybeans.The area of ​​the underground warehouse is not small. After lighting the gas lamp on the wall, you can see that there are piles of grain bags in every corner.

"I come."

Xia De said, blinking his eyes:
"The Echo of Blood!"

Extending from the door to the depths of the underground warehouse, a clear "road of blood" appeared in front of you.This means that bloody things are often transported here.

Under Xia De's leadership, the four of them quickly came to the wall on the left side of the underground granary.There is a secret door on the wall, but the key can't be found yet.After Megan confirmed that there were no trigger detection traps on the wall, the ring warlocks destroyed the wall together.

wow~
Red stone bricks mixed with mud fell all over the ground, and the wind with damp and smell came from the hole in the wall, and at the same time, there was the sound of water flowing.And when the light ball used for lighting flew into the hole in the wall, what they saw was an artificially dug underground cave and dozens of coffins on display.

These coffins are made of copper-colored metal, and none of them have lids.Looking inside the coffin again, the dark liquid filled the inside, and there were kelp, aquatic plants and dead fish in the liquid.Of course, the most important thing is that the water in each coffin is soaked with corpses, but the corpses did not turn into the terrifying appearance of giants. Instead, fish scales appeared on the surface of the body, fins grew from the back, and the head began to grow. Turn towards the fish head.

At the end of the cave, there is an underground channel dug out that connects the Duyin River not far away.

"Undead?"

Xia De frowned slightly, covered his nose and backed away from the coffin.He didn't know much about the scene, but Megan saw what it was doing at a glance:
"Cultivate water ghosts, wait until the water ghosts have completed their transformation, send them directly to the Duyin River, and then let them dive all the way into Green Lake. It turns out that the water ghosts in Green Lake are not only naturally produced."

Megan's voice echoed in the cave filled with the stench of corpses, and her voice awakened the corpses sleeping in the water.

These untransformed corpses trembled one by one, and finally seven of them grabbed the coffin and sat up from the water, their faces would make nightmares just by looking at them.

But even the transformed water ghost is no match for anyone here.One of the witch's followers, a blond-haired girl, breathed lightly in front of her. As the cold air spread, the liquid in the coffin froze, preventing the corpses from moving.Then another woman grabbed the pendant on her chest and prayed softly, and the corpses frozen in the ice fell silent.

Meghan asked the followers to examine the rituals on the cave walls and search the place for anything else suspicious.Xia De took a pinch of bone meal and sprinkled it on one of the corpses.After performing the thaumaturgy, the soul was evoked, and a simple question quickly let Xia De know that most of the corpses here were homeless people in the city.

"Compared to directly using corpses, after the living died in great fear and pain, the undead produced are more powerful. In the city of Green Lake, the most important thing is the homeless."

Megan said, Xia De nodded, thinking in his heart that when he goes back tonight, he must go to see if Little John at the back door of the hotel is still alive.But even if Barry the Bad Eye trains water ghosts on a large scale, he will not look for children. After all, the taller the body, the better the quality of the water ghosts he cultivates.

Next, Xia De and the two six-ringed sorceresses checked the surroundings together, while the lady with brown shawl hair stood there watching them search.

There is nothing very valuable here, it is just a workshop for cultivating water ghosts.The dense black lines on the walls and the floor, according to Megan's judgment, are unique inks prepared from octopus ink, blood and potions.

These ritual traces together constitute the water ghost training room, the most important part of which is the evil holy emblem on the ground at the bottom of each coffin.It was the holy emblem of the evil god [God of the Drowned in the Deep Sea]. It was a pattern composed of fish, bones, chaotic black lines, and a large number of lines of unknown meaning. Even just looking at it made people feel deeply uncomfortable (Note).

And according to the observation of the ceremony, although the daily maintenance of this place is very simple, it is definitely not something that can be established by a ring warlock.

That is to say, although "Bad-eyed Barry" is a low-level magician, there are other magicians around him.And judging from the professional divine ritual matrix on the walls and the ground, and the holy emblem of the [God of the Drowned in the Deep Sea] at the bottom of the coffin and the top of the cave, which makes people instinctively frightened at a glance, the Cult of the Drowned and this Things are inseparable.

"But what exactly do they want to do? This is not an ocean area. Even if a large number of water ghosts are cultivated in Green Lake, what can they do? Do they want to submerge half of the old continent and turn Green Lake into a coastal city?"

Xia De put forward a hypothesis that he knew was impossible, and the witch also shook her head:
"I don't know much about the believers of that god, but since it's Green Lake, maybe it really has something to do with my family."

Judging from the current situation, any abnormality in this area may be related to the Edwards family.

They didn't stay here for long, destroyed the corpses, and after destroying the ritual matrix, they re-sealed the walls and left the warehouse.Someone will take over here soon, and the police will not be notified until the evening to prevent the bad-eyed Barry, who is meeting with businessmen, from getting the information in advance.

At the warehouse, it was confirmed that "Bad Eye Barry" was breeding water ghosts on a large scale. The next stop was to cross the Duin River and enter the slums in the east of Green Lake City to visit the real core site of this gang leader.

Although he has a lot of illegal industries in the local area, just like a legal company always has a headquarters, the gangsters of the bad-eyed Barry - it seems to be called the bad-eyed gang, also have their own core territory in Green Lake City .

It was an area called "Golloj Street" in the slums. On the north side of the alley, there were normal and legal shops on the outside, but on the inside was a gang meeting place like a village in the city.To enter this area, you need not only a guide, but also passwords and codes.And once successfully entered, the black market, guns, body trade, and various illegal activities will be completely opened to those lucky or unlucky.

It was still raining, and it was approaching 10:30 in the morning, but the sky was dark like night. No matter how good the mood was, I would feel depressed and bored in this kind of weather.Xia De and Megan in the carriage chatted while looking at the street scene on the way. The profile of the sorceress is very beautiful. In fact, the beauty of witches is always unmatched.

She suddenly asked Xia De a question:
"What do you think of family and relatives?"

The stranger laughed:
"I don't have any relatives in this world, and the only 'uncle' who left me an inheritance died last summer. So compared to the past, I care more about my new relationship now and in the future. Even...even if it is a little close People make mistakes, and I still love these new relationships. People, after all, are about moving forward."

He knew what the lady in front of him was thinking, probably it wasn't just Barry who was raising water ghosts to play with corpses.He might be working for one of her elders.

The carriage stopped at the corner of Geluojie Street. This street is very wide, and there should be various vendors on both sides of the street in normal times, but in this weather, even the shops facing the street are unwilling to sell their own goods. The signboard is placed at the door.

There was no one on the street, and the rain kept hitting every puddle, and one could see from one end of the street to the other at a glance.After the carriage stopped, Xia De still expected that hundreds of people would rush out from nowhere and forcefully break into the two closed iron gates on the north side of the street, but this time they didn't need to wait for anyone.

"What are you expecting? If a shootout of hundreds of people really broke out, do you think the Green Lake Police Department is really an idiot? Now is the period of negotiation between the two countries."

Megan saw Xia De's thoughts, and couldn't help showing a smile:

"We have to find out the secrets of the bad-eyed Barry, and we can't expose ourselves. This is not the warehouse just now, there are a lot of people in it. So, the two of us will do it next. Guess how many people we have now to deal with?"

Even without the sound of rain covering up the sound of the heartbeat, Xia De could not accurately distinguish the heartbeat of each person from the mixed heart sounds of so many heartbeats.

He shook his head:
"I bet it's not everyone who is capable of fighting, so 200?"

"Not so many. Do you really think that under the nose of the border army, someone can organize 200 people armed with guns? About 40 or so, and the rest are ordinary people without combat effectiveness."

She got out of the carriage first, but without an umbrella.This time, there was only this carriage nearby, so no followers came over to cover her from the rain.Xia De poked his head from the side door of the carriage, and was surprised to see a completely transparent spherical force field, which automatically repelled rainwater around her, so that a spherical rain curtain formed around her.

"Are you recovered?"

Xia De asked, Megan shook his head:
"Of course not, but at least it's better than the previous two times when we landed on the island. It's no problem to use the power below the sixth ring. I mean the general sixth ring, not your kind. Oh, young sir, don't ask So much, please come with me. I hate rainy weather, the humidity is so heavy."

She waved to Xia De, and when Xia De got off the carriage and was also surrounded by the soft transparent force field, she took off the small gold and silver two-color book-shaped pendant hanging around her neck.
