24 Chapter 24: Im a Water Ghost, About to Drown?
Translator: 549690339
Its incredibly terrifying!
Ghost!
There really are ghosts in this world!
Thus spoke Ma Long.
Without having time to put on his clothes, clad only in his underpants, he bolted to the roadside by the river. His mouth was filled with a nasty taste, and his calves were trembling. He felt as if his strength had completely drained away!
I am so stupid!
I actually performed CPR on a ghost!
Who would be drowning in the middle of the night?
He glanced back and saw that Xu Yang wasnt following, immediately his scalp tingled with dread, he yelled out, Xu Yang, hurry up and run
A distance of several tens of meters.
Plus, it was night.
He couldnt make out that Xu Yang was blocking the Water Ghost with his peachwood sword, he could barely see the silhouettes of two figures at the edge of the river, as well as hear their conversation
Speak!
Is the corpse that we just fished out one of your victims?
Ma Long was completely petrified.
Xu Yang
Is he interrogating a ghost?
The ghostly figure didnt reply, again Xu Yang harshly scolded, How dare you not answer when Im speaking to you!? Do you really think my brother and I cant kill you?
Ding!
Water Ghost has been frightened, merits +10, Water Manipulation Skill +1.
In his mind, the system prompt sounded again.
Xu Yang couldnt help but laugh!
Ma Long was truly bold!
Directly caused this Water Ghost to be psychologically traumatized!
In his heart, he began to contemplate some strategies.
It seems that there are techniques to scaring ghostsyou cant just rely on brute force, you have to find the ghosts weakness. For instance, the ghost in my house is frightened by me baring my **, while this Water Ghost is scared of Ma Long.
That said, what sort of situation is Ma Long in?
Earlier, I sensed the Water Ghosts yin energy burst, yet she couldnt do anything against Ma Long and instead Ma Long forcefully dragged her ashore
While Xu Yang was contemplating, ready to use Ma Long again to scare off the Water Ghost.
That Water Ghost wasnt one to sit back, she had already calmed down, she raised her hand and pointed
Splash!
Suddenly behind Xu Yang, from the Yellow Rivers surface water, a huge wave crashed towards him!
Being a Water Ghost, she had the ability to manipulate water naturally!
Its just that her power was too weak, if she was at the same level as the one at Xu Yangs house, then surely it wouldnt be a problem for her to flood the riverside in a flicker of an eye!
Xu Yang didnt have time to avoid it and was struck by the wave.
Although his Daoist robe was resistant to both water and fire, the force of the wave was too much to bear, causing him to lose his footing and falling into the Yellow River.
Little Daoist, how dare you get in my way?
The Water Ghost gave a ghostly cold sneer, transformed her body into a vapor, and plunged into the river.
Xu Yang, who had fallen into the river, immediately felt a powerful force at his ankle. Next, he was dragged uncontrollably towards the depths of the river!
Xu Yang summoned his power, struggling vigorously. Yet not only was he unable to fend off the pulling force, but the more he struggled the faster he sunk!
Murky Yellow River water kept flooding into his mouth and nose, choking him and making his stomach bulge!
This wont do!
At this rate, Im going to die!
Xu Yang was well aware of his current predicament. A thought popped into his head, forcing himself to calm down. He decided not to resist the pulling force, letting the Water Ghost drag him to the bottom of the river!
As soon as he calmed down, Xu Yang felt a bit better.
He found that once he closed his breath, the Yellow River water could not choke him.
He looked at his system attribute panel.
Behind the [Daoist Skills] tab, besides Fire Manipulation Skill, another skill Water Manipulation Skill had appeared.
Xu Yang closed his eyes and tried to Manipulate Water.
At this moment, a feeling surged deep within him, as though he was a fish back in water, as if a thought could manipulate the flow of water, and he could even breathe and speak underwater. The pulling force at his ankle had slightly weakened.
However.
It was but an illusion!
Xu Yang had only improved his Water Manipulation Skill twice; it was still at an elementary levelfar from what he was experiencing!
The strongest weapon of a Water Ghost is Water Manipulation!
What makes it difficult to deal with is that in water, they can control the flow to restrain others But this Water Ghost, like the fire ghost from Dawa Elementary School, can only exert limited power of Water Manipulation!
If I can strengthen my Water Manipulation Skill to be stronger than hers, then the Yellow River will no longer aide her and instead, it will be her downfall!
Xu Yang made up his mind and clicked on the small + sign next to Water Manipulation Skill.
Ding!
Merit Points -50, Water Manipulation Skill +1.
Huh?
Does it require 50 Merit Points to level up each time?
He had previously only reserved 200 Merit Points for himself and used the rest to enhance his skill level.
While refining the Supreme Purification Seal, that person at home got scared again and received another 100 points. Including the 20 points he just received from scaring the Water Ghost, he now had 320 Merit Points in total.
At this moment, he had no choice but to invest them in the Water Manipulation Skill, regardless how expensive it was.
With thoughts racing, he quickly used the points to level up his Water Manipulation Skill six times in a row. Instantly, all 300 merit points were depleted.
However, in Xu Yangs heart, a sense of mystic power was spreading.
Water
Water Manipulation
He spoke under the water, saying with a smile, So this is the power of Water Manipulation? What a fascinating feeling
He looked down.
The originally murky Yellow River could no longer obscure his sight. Everything at the bottom of the river became crystal clear!
There he saw Lady Ghost, covered in algae and oozing pus-blood, clutching his ankle and trying to drag him to the bottom.
He laughed, Lady Ghost, are you trying to take me to your place?
Take it easy. No need to hurry.
Lady Ghost:
Without waiting for Lady Ghost to respond, Xu Yang broke away from her grip.
He sank his body, towering over Lady Ghost, grasped her ankle and pulled hard towards the riverbed!
!!!
Lady Ghosts eyes bulged, her hideous face filled with disbelief.
How
How could this happen?
Did something go wrong?
Could he be the real Water Ghost?
She wanted to struggle free, but his hand was as firm as steel, gripping her ankle tightly. Under his magical suppression, she couldnt even vaporize.
However, she wasnt panic, snarling coldly, Little Daoist, I admit that I underestimated you. Your skill is quite formidable but this is underwater. Since birth, I have been able to control water. Unless you are in the realm of Daoism, you are just courting death!
She waved her hand gently.
Then, the underwater currents spun towards Xu Yang from all directions.
Xu Yang grinned, releasing a trail of bubbles from his mouth.
He waved his hand too.
The Water Manipulation Skill was cast!
The underwater currents instantly dissipated, and they even rebounded onto Lady Ghost.
An unprecedented sense of suffocation flooded into Lady Ghost, startling her!
Whats happening?
How could I, a Water Ghost, feel suffocated underwater?
This is absurd. Whats next? A fish being drowned?
