Chapter 687: Water Ghost
"That's not a fish, that's a ghost river."
"Every drop of water in this river is the body of the Ghost River. It will not allow anything to take the river water away."
The person who said this was the extradition officer who was walking slowly in front of Wu Xian.
Wu Xian was shocked at first. He didn't expect that the extraditioner would take the initiative to communicate with him.
Then Wu Xian understood what the extraditioner meant. The person who triggered the sudden attack of that thing might be himself.
Wu Xian made the crawling corpse drink the water of the Ghost River. The crawling corpse wanted to climb up the cliff in order to take the Ghost River water away, so it was attacked by the Ghost River.
If this is the case……
Wu Xian's muscles suddenly tensed up. After that thing swallowed the crawling corpse, could it be that he would be the next target?
The water surface gradually returned to calm, but the light near Wu Xian became much dimmer, as if the faint light emitted by the river was obscured by something.
There might be a huge and terrifying monster right under him!
Wu Xian's eyes flashed with ferocity. If he had been targeted by the "big fish", should he take preemptive action before it bites him?
The extraditioner spoke again: "Relax, don't do anything stupid, it's just passing by."
"The ghost river feeds on souls, but we are just food residues to it. The ghost river does not need to hunt us on purpose. Have you ever seen a tiger specifically hunt an ant?"
"Unless the ant takes the initiative to bite it."
Under the comfort of the extraditioner, Wu Xian did not act rashly. The dark shadow under him gradually disappeared, and the light returned under his feet.
Afterwards, Wu Xian wanted to ask the extraditioner some questions, but the extraditioner remained silent.
Wu Xian understood that perhaps the extradited person was just like those disguised evil spirits. He could only communicate freely with the extradited person after the "Wooah strange sound" appeared. The two sentences just now were already the limit. Now the influence of the strange sound had faded.
The two walked farther and farther in the fog. Because of the cold air from the river water, Wu Xian's feet became numb and he walked unsteadily.
Under such circumstances, Wu Xian had no way of feeling the changes in the river surface with his feet.
He began to hear some noises coming from under his feet, and all these noises were the voice of the same woman.
There were painful groans, mournful prayers, and vicious curses.
The further Wu Xian moved forward, the clearer the sound became. Finally, when the scenery in front of Wu Xian changed, he heard the woman's voice clearly.
"It's so cold here, can you save me?"
"I don't want to stay in the water anymore. I'm right under your feet now. You just need to pull me up and I'll be out."
Wu Xian's mouth twitched.
It turned out that there really was a female ghost swimming on her back under his feet. If his feet hadn't been numb from the cold, he would have probably sensed it through the subtle changes.
But the good news is that this trip to Ghost River is almost reaching its end.
More than ten meters in front of Wu Xian, a wooden octagonal pavilion could be vaguely seen among the light green mist. It seemed as if someone was waving at him in the pavilion, and there was a warm fire behind the person.
Wu Xian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he got there, he wouldn't have to worry about the female ghost under his feet.
But at this moment, the extradition officer suddenly turned around and grinned at Wu Xian, with black liquid flowing from the corners of his mouth.
"Now, it's time for you to pay for your journey!"
Wu Xian stopped.
The toll the extradition officer mentioned was to look down from the river. The text in the corridor had already stated that it was dangerous to look down from the Ghost River, and there was a high possibility that there was a female ghost under Wu Xian's feet.
But Wu Xian hesitated for two seconds and decided to pay the travel expenses.
Although looking down may be dangerous, violating the agreement with the extradited person may lead to greater danger.
He looked down suddenly.
At first glance, I saw a terrifying face!
In the water at Wu Xian's feet, there lay a human face with blue skin and a face swollen with blisters. The face had thick hair, half a meter long, floating in the water like seaweed.
The woman and Wu Xian looked at each other and screamed piercingly:
"Come and save me!"
"Come take my place!"
Two dark arms with black nails broke out of the water, grabbed Wu Xian's pants, and climbed up by holding Wu Xian as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Wu Xian panicked for a moment and looked up at the extradition officer to see if he could give him any advice, but he found that the extradition officer had disappeared without a trace!
Under the pull of the female ghost, the invisible air wall under Wu Xian's feet disappeared, and his body began to sink into the cold water!
"You have to save yourself, you have to save yourself!"
Wu Xian endured the biting cold and swung the bone pickaxe to hit the female ghost in the face.
The toe bone of Mrs. White Bone pierced the ghost girl's face. The ghost girl felt pain and a thick black smelly liquid came out of her face. She had to let go of Wu Xian.
Wu Xian seized the opportunity and swam hurriedly towards the pavilion.
What made Wu Xian feel a little strange was that the water temperature was so low, but he didn't feel cold.
As long as he swam these ten meters, he would have crossed the Ghost River.
But while swimming, Wu Xian clearly saw that in the water emitting a faint green light, there were more than a dozen figures rushing towards him!
The one swimming in the front is a female ghost with a destroyed face, and behind her are water ghosts with grayish skin, swollen bodies, and dark eyes filled with some perverted desire!
And behind these water ghosts, there was a huge human-shaped black shadow, swimming slowly. Just seeing that black shadow, Wu Xian felt his whole body trembling!
This feeling was somewhat similar to the evil creature Wu Xian had seen before.
No, it's stronger than the evil ones I've seen before, like it's on another level!
But as the extraditioner had said before, a wild beast would not deliberately prey on an ant, so Wu Xian did not need to consider how to deal with the huge black shadow.
These water ghosts are very fast, and Wu Xian will definitely be caught up by them before he swims to the pavilion. Looking at those distorted faces approaching quickly, even Wu Xian felt a terrifying depression.
He must save himself!
But how can he save himself?
A bone pickaxe?
Although it is effective, it can only be used against one or two, as there are too many of these water ghosts.
Rely on the defense of the zombie clothes?
But the water ghost didn't need to break Wu Xian's defense, it was enough to drown him in the water.
The soul-catching lock with the electric character attached might hurt Wu Xian himself.
The immortal-grade talisman's flaming acceleration method and the precious magical weapon's Thousands of Miles of Rising Clouds and Smoke were both related to fire, and they simply could not exert their full power in water.
Therefore, in such a hurry, Wu Xian could only think of one way to save himself!
The immortal magic weapon, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!
This Ruyi can be thrown out to hurt people. Its basic power is equivalent to that of a precious spell, but once thrown it is bound to hit, and each hit can weaken the opponent's magic power by 30%!
Although it is a bit of a waste to use it on the water ghost, Wu Xian's life is more important than the immortal magic weapon.
Whoosh!
The white jade Ruyi was thrown out by Wu Xian and fell into a group of more than a dozen water ghosts. A mysterious three-color divine light burst out, and wherever the divine light reached, all the water ghosts were reduced to ashes. The power of just one blow helped Wu Xian break the siege.
In addition to the water ghost, Wu Xian also saw that the black shadow underwater that posed a huge threat to him suddenly shrank in size like a deflated balloon...
