Chapter 74 Water Ghost: Is it great to be rich?

Water ghosts look like corpses picked up from the bottom of a pond. The pores on their bodies will exude mucus and mud, emitting a rotten sour smell. Humans often mistakenly believe that water ghosts are lost travelers who fell into the mire and swam away.

It is caused by children who are too far from the shore, or by drunken farmers who fall into the swamp and drown.

Of course this is not the case. Like most rumors about monsters, humans' understanding of water ghosts is completely wrong.

Most of human beings' understanding of the world is wrong, but they just don't realize it.

Today, the water ghosts seem to have realized their wrong understanding of the world.

They always thought that food was fished from the water, dug from the ground, and taken out of the two-legged beasts on the road.

And today, food - fell from the sky!

With two "bang" and "bang" sounds, the two sheep bleating in mid-air stopped making all sounds and fell into a large puddle of meat at the bottom of the valley.

The water ghosts who were having fun on the river bank became even happier when they saw this. They swarmed in like piranhas that smelled the fishy smell, feasting on the meat on the ground without warning. From time to time, there were also fish diving deep in the river.

Several water ghosts surfaced to join the feast.

Thank you for nature’s blessings!

Lan En and his party were lying on the cliff directly above these water ghosts. It was the sheep they threw down.

The Druid was sitting on the cliff, recuperating. He had transported all the cattle, sheep and livestock from distant villages. He sighed helplessly: "This is the first time I have opened a portal to do this kind of thing.

"

If there are evil spirits like "starving ghosts" in this world, one by one in the following pile will have to change in the future.

On the second day, Lan En and his team threw three sheep from the cliff. The water ghosts seemed to have their own communication system. The water ghosts who had a feast yesterday spread the news of the feast, so today all the water ghosts in the river bottom

The ghosts are out.

Today's situation is very special. Before Lan En and the others could throw the bait down, the water ghosts in the river gathered at the bottom of the valley at the same time in advance, singing and dancing around the red land soaked in blood yesterday, waiting for food to fall from the sky.

Lann nodded, that's almost it.

People like witchers and druids who are used to sleeping outdoors have no problem with camping.

The druid glanced at Lann strangely: "When did the world's misunderstanding of us druids get worse again? Not to mention that the sacrifices were originally livestock raised by humans, and the water ghosts killed were teleported by mages.

As alien species, our behavior is completely in line with the teachings of nature.

But with the help of magic props, Lann and Geralt could clearly see the water ghosts devouring flesh and blood, gnawing on sheep horns, and even devouring wool.

With this kind of viewing distance, a normal person can only see small blue-green things about the size of a finger rushing into a pile of red things, and then dyeing themselves red.

Lann felt that this person must be a fan or something. At this time, Mossack already had fans among the druids.

Geralt nodded.

In a sense, this is also a kind of wisdom.

Lann drank some water to suppress his nausea: "But at least it shows that this method is effective, right?"

Lan put down the crystal bird skull and handed it to Geralt who was standing aside: "Are they all out?"

The day passes quickly.

The plan was successful, but Lan was a little confused. He asked Geralt: "These water ghosts...won't they hunt by themselves? If we don't throw them away, they will really do this and wait for a day."

The soldiers were already prepared for a protracted war before they came out, and they had already brought camping tools with them.

They were so densely packed that they looked like a swarm of ants, which made everyone on the cliff feel numb.

The herdsman selling cattle and sheep at the house the druid visited was beaming with joy.

The druid had a look of disgust on his face.

Lan looked away and covered his mouth. He had just seen a few water ghosts grabbing an unprocessed large intestine, which was very delicious.

Geralt seemed to have something to talk to the Druid, and it happened that the Druid was very interested in Mossak.

Then they disemboweled the other animals and took out their internal organs, just like stuffing spices into the bellies of roasted cows and lambs. They stuffed a large amount of leaves and hay into the bodies of these livestock as buffers, almost all of them were eaten.

Stuffed to the brim.

On the third day, four cows were thrown down today.

On the fifth day, Lan and his party bought four cows and three sheep.

The water ghosts were starved for a whole day, so stupid that most people would feel guilty.

Even the most extreme kind of druid is just obsessed with those monsters that are about to become extinct. The water ghost is just too——"

The druid on the side added: "They are probably raised by warlocks in underground rivers or somewhere with more food. They have been reproduced for several generations or even more than ten generations. They have no knowledge of the outside world at all. It is normal to be stupid."

On the fourth day, no cattle or sheep were thrown down.

They were dancing around the red sand with bloody faces: The gifts of nature have increased!

They first roasted one of the cows and ate it to fill their bellies.

Lan nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, let's set up camp here today. We may have to stay for a few days." Lann turned around and ordered, taking another sip of water. "Besides, there is no need to prepare my lunch today."

A group of people started to maintain their equipment around the campfire and rested their minds. Swader took over House's job and went to feed Black Wind, but Black Wind seemed to want to come over and let Lan feed him.

Geralt was silent for a while and said: "It may take two more days of starvation to react. To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a stupid water ghost."

Geralt poured a bottle of potion into his mouth, looked at it for a while, and then said to Lan with half-black pupils and eye sockets: "Most of the water ghosts lurking in the water have come out, but they are still there.

Many of them haven't come out yet. So we still can't dive in and explore the ruins."

Fortunately, Lann is not an ordinary person.

Geralt squinted his eyes to observe the shadows in the river through the eyes of the skull, and affirmed: "They are all out."

The water ghosts danced under the valley for a whole day, feeling confused and hungry for a whole day.

Lan asked with some worry: "Are you...averse to us using cattle and sheep as bait or killing water ghosts? Do you think they are too pitiful? I can understand if you don't want to participate."

Then, they took out the alchemy backpack straps and took out [Dragon Dream] and [Dancing Star].

So, six cattle and sheep livestock turned into six flesh-and-blood bombs.

Lann dispersed the team, leaving only two people at the top of the cliff to throw cattle and sheep down. The others slowly walked down the valley and hid in the shrubs on both sides.

If there are any water ghosts running into the river, they will come out to stop them and annihilate them, making sure not to leave any one behind.
