Chapter 6 Decoy

The hearty dinner was delivered quickly, and the fragrance was so good. Su Ming tasted it and tasted very good.

He picked up the baked muffins, broke them apart bit by bit, then threw them into the soup of beef stewed with potatoes, pressed down with a fork, so that the muffins could suck up the soup, and then swallowed them in one bite. Su Ming, who had been on the way all day, closed his eyes with pleasure.

Soon the sumptuous dinner in front of him was wiped out by Su Ming. After eating and drinking, Su Ming leaned against the bar with beer, quietly listening to the bragging of the merchants and mercenaries, trying to find some useful information from it.

"I heard that the fight started again in the north."

"Isn't this normal? I'll come once every few years!"

"This time it's different. It is said that the kingdoms of North Wind have united!"

...

Su Ming sat in front of the bar, drinking beer while listening to the conversation in the pub. At this moment, a messy sound suddenly came from the door, and then a middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and obese body walked in surrounded by a group of people.

Seeing the fat middle-aged man, the owner of the tavern immediately put down his cup and trotted all the way to meet him. His tall body was very funny at this moment, and he looked flattering.

"Master, why are you here in person? Just give me some instructions if you have anything." The middle-aged man said with a flattering face.

"Is there a witch hunter here?" The fat mayor asked directly without saying nonsense.

"Demon Hunter? I don't know. Don't worry, I'll let someone drive him out!" Hearing the mayor's words, the tavern owner immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Idiot, did I tell you to drive it away? Idiot!" the mayor cursed, "Go and find him quickly and invite him!"

"Yes, yes, yes..." After being scolded, the tavern owner quickly responded.

"Master, the witch hunter is there!" At this moment, a guard suddenly pointed to Su Ming's direction and said.

Su Ming noticed the first time these people came in. When he saw the soldier pointing at him, he was sure that these people were coming to him.

He looked up at the few people, but Su Ming didn't say anything, his expression was cold. He could hear clearly the words of the tavern owner just now. If nothing unexpected happens, the people in front of him must have been in trouble.

The witch hunter is not a saint, nor a hero. Their relationship with ordinary people is not very good. Don’t want them to take action without a bounty.

After seeing Su Ming, the mayor immediately walked over and said, "Dear Lord of the Devil Hunter, we need your help!"

"What mission?" Su Ming said expressionlessly.

"Some water ghosts appeared in the river near our town. We want to ask you to clean them up!" The mayor did not care about Su Ming's attitude and continued: "Of course we are willing to pay a reward!"

"How much?" Sulun asked. He was disguising himself as a witch hunter, and now it seemed that his disguise was pretty good.

"Ten gold coins for a water ghost!" said the mayor.

"Okay, I'll take it!" Su Ming nodded. The water ghost is actually not a powerful creature. In fact, this creature is very weak on land. Even a farmer can kill it. However, once it falls into the water, the power of the water ghost will increase greatly, and the water ghosts often appear in groups of three or five.

In this world, water ghosts are monsters transformed by drowning humans. And as the number of drowning people increases, their strength will continue to increase. If they continue to grow, they will eventually become a monster called giant water ghost.

"Where did the water ghosts appear? When did you find them?" Sulun asked.

"Bain, please answer him." The mayor said to the soldier next to him.

"Yes, Lord Mayor!" the soldier said respectfully.

Soon Sulun obtained a lot of information about water ghosts from them. According to them, it was only discovered that the water ghosts were discovered today because someone found that the clerk's nephew drowned. It is said that it was a prostitute who reported the case. As for why the clerk's nephew was with the prostitute and what they did to the woods by the river, they did not say it.

Su Ming can only say that it is so exciting and really good at playing.

After confirming that there was no more information, Su Ming then prepared to set off, and the soldier followed Su Ming to lead the way.

The two went to the riverside together. At this time, the sky was completely dimmed. The woods outside the town were dark. The shadowy trunks were like demons' claws in the night, which made people frightened. The soldiers who followed Su Ming were already trembling all over.

"Sir, do we still have to continue walking forward?" the soldier beside him said hesitantly.

"Why, are you scared?" Su Lun glanced at him and said.

"Sir, I am just an ordinary person, I can't deal with those monsters!" the soldier said tremblingly.

Su Lun smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the water ghost is not that scary. As long as you don't get close to the water, there's nothing wrong."

"The water ghost is just a little more powerful in the water. Once you get ashore, you can easily destroy them!" Su Lun said as he drew out his long sword.

"Okay, don't worry, you follow me."

The soldiers were as if they were amnesty, and couldn't wait to hide behind Sulun, and then followed Sulun toward the river.

Then the moonlight, the two of them quickly arrived at the riverside. There was some white mist floating on the river surface under the moonlight, which looked very calm and seemed to be nothing unusual. However, in Su Lun's eyes, there was a cold breath around it, and a gray mist extended from the riverside to the river water. This was the undead aura unique to the undead creatures.

The surrounding air was surrounded by a faint odor, mixed with a fishy smell.

"Okay, don't get close to you here! Leave the rest to me." Su Lun suddenly stopped and rushed to the soldiers behind him, "The water ghost's territory is ahead. As long as you don't get close, there will be no danger!"

"Yeah!" The soldier nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, for fear that Su Ming would lead him to move forward.

"The torch is left for you, be careful." Su Ming handed the torch to the soldiers, and then continued to walk towards the river alone.

Su Ming walked forward for more than ten steps, then disappeared sideways among the lush reeds by the river. The soldier felt a flash in front of him, and Su Lun disappeared, and his heart became nervous in an instant.
