It has blood-colored eyes, a furry body, sharp claws on its limbs, and exposed vicious fangs. It looks like one of those so-called water ghosts.
However, Xiao Chen was not an ordinary person. He looked at the water ghost with his clairvoyant eyes. What surprised him was that it was not a water ghost at all.
While Xiao Chen was watching there, this fierce thing had already jumped over and wanted to pull him into the water first.
Under normal circumstances, people don't have much strength in the water, mainly because they need to breathe oxygen. However, here, they cannot swim for a long time like those animals in the water.
In that case, it was difficult to breathe, let alone have strength.
It's late night again now.
When Xiao Chen saw this ghost thing pulling his right leg, he couldn't let go to deal with this thing because he hugged the little boy just now.
But, it's different now.
Now he can kill this ghost with his bare hands.
What's more, he still held the sharp Miao knife in his hand.
While the ghost was still pulling his right leg, Xiao Chen slashed with the Miao Dao in his hand, and the ghost's left claw was chopped off by him!
"ah!"
The ghost let out a scream.
Xiao Chen seemed fine, but the Miao villagers watching by the river turned pale with fright.
This was the first time in hundreds of years that they had seen someone deal with a water ghost in the water like that.
Xiao Chen could already see bright red blood flowing out of the chopped off claw, dyeing the surrounding area red.
After he grabbed the claw, he threw it towards the river.
When they threw it to the river, the villagers looked over again and found that it was really a claw, but they only looked at it from a distance.
Obviously, this ghost didn't expect Xiao Chen to be so vicious.
After the opponent lost one of his claws, it was obvious that he was no longer as good as before. When the opponent was about to abscond, he quickly dived into the water and Xiao Chen continued to chase him.
The knife struck the opponent's shoulder again, and blood flowed out again.
At this time, the water ghost has dived several meters deep. In this case, it is difficult to catch the other party.
However, Xiao Chen continued to chase after him.
When he was less than half a meter away from the opponent, he slashed at the opponent's right leg again.
The opponent's right leg was not cut off.
However, a lot of blood was also shed.
The other party was obviously a little scared and looked back at Xiao Chen, then swam desperately to the bottom of the river, almost diving into the mud at the bottom of the river.
In this case, it is even more difficult for ordinary people to catch them.
However, Xiao Chen was not an ordinary person. He continued to chase after him. He looked over with his clairvoyant eyes and saw clearly that the opponent was hiding in the soil below.
As for why the other party can live underwater like that?
Xiao Chen must not be able to figure it out.
However, what he can be sure of is that the other party can hide from others, but cannot hide from him.
Xiao Chen stabbed the opponent's head with a knife, and the opponent could clearly see it. After dodging, Xiao Chen's Miao knife only penetrated into his shoulder.
The other party was also screaming from below, but the other party's voice could not be heard.
The other party tried to escape again.
It's obvious that the other party is really scared now.
Originally, under water, the strength of normal people would definitely be inferior to that of water ghosts.
Moreover, what this water ghost didn't expect was that Xiao Chen could actually see clearly in the water without going back above to breathe.
In this case, even ten water ghosts like him would not be Xiao Chen's opponent.
Xiao Chen continued to kill him. It was impossible for him to let go of this so-called water ghost. He didn't directly stab him to death. He just wanted to ask if he had any accomplices?
Now the opponent's body was bleeding in many places, and compared with just now, it already looked very weak.
The Miao villagers who were watching by the river were a little worried about Xiao Chen's safety when they saw that Xiao Chen had been sneaking in for such a long time and had not yet gotten up.
Although, they had already seen the water ghost's claws, and they had also seen Xiao Chen hurt the water ghost.
However, over the past few hundred years, they have naturally known how powerful the water ghosts are.
When they saw Xiao Chen suddenly surface, the Miao villagers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chief Shi, bring me the rope."
It didn't take long.
Patriarch Shi brought over a hemp rope, and Xiao Chen dived into the water again, tied up the water ghost, and pulled him up directly.
There are more and more Miao villagers watching the excitement on the shore. They really didn't expect that the eldest disciple of the head of the Jiuli Sect is really powerful.
, you can directly jump down and fight the water ghost, and tie up this water ghost.
This water ghost was already covered in scars and looked like it was about to die.
When letting Sang pull the water ghost up, Xiao Chen was all wet. If it weren't for worrying about the little boy, he would have continued to fight with the water ghost in the water.
After he got to the shore, he first went to see the little boy still lying on the ground.
Just now, Xiao Chen knew that the little boy was still alive.
Come here now, first check his pulse, and find that the little boy's breath is very weak. It is obvious that although the little boy has not been missing for a long time, if he stayed in the water for a long time, he would not be able to breathe in time.
Even if he is treated, he will definitely die.
Xiao Chen squatted down and took out the silver needle first to revive the little boy.
It took about fifteen minutes for the little boy's breath and all aspects to slowly recover. However, like the little girl before, he was obviously frightened. It would be difficult for him to recover for a long time.
The little boy's family finally felt relieved when they saw that the little boy was okay.
The water ghost who was tied up and pulled to the shore was still struggling just now, but now it is surrounded by the blood left by the other party, and the surrounding Miao villagers are afraid of it.
"Mr. Xiao, is this a water ghost?" Patriarch Shi asked.
"There may be ghosts in this world, but this water ghost is not a real ghost."
Not a real ghost?
So what is this?
"Then what is it? Is it an animal?"
If it is a water ghost reported from the outside world, it should be a type of animal.
However, the one in front of me is not those animals, but a person.
"It is a dumb uncle, but it is not necessarily a dumb uncle."
Dumb uncle?
Patriarch Shi and other surrounding Miao villagers took a deep breath after hearing this.
They never thought that the mute who usually looked like a pitiful creature was actually a water ghost that made them worry day and night.
"How could he be a dumb uncle? The dumb uncle is just an old man." Patriarch Shi couldn't believe it.
If Xiao Chen didn't have clairvoyance, it would be hard for him to believe that this was actually a person?
When Xiao Chen walked over and pulled off a layer of skin from this ghost, it was the outer layer of furry-looking skin.
