Chapter two hundred and eighty fifth water ghost thieves attack
Soon, Wang Hao made up his mind.
"Are you a water ghost thief? The robbers in the mountain and sea world may have some superpowers."
"The power of illusion is replenished every day... but Qingshi Town cannot be destroyed easily."
"At worst, it's all spent on this battle!"
…
…
Shanhaijie, Qingshi Town.
"Is the bad reputation of the Hub of Disaster and Evil a good thing?"
"As a righteous god, the Great Mother of Sores has turned into a bad thing?"
Li Qingshan was a little surprised, astonished by such an unbelievable thing.
Huang Youcai sighed and said: "The world is hot and cold, evil spirits are raging, and disasters are everywhere, so the reputation of our Qingshi Town has spread these days, attracting many refugees. Those who are willing to live an honest life have come here to farm, and those who are not willing to live a good life have come here.
, became a robber."
"The Water Ghost Pirates only had a dozen people at the beginning, robbing merchants to make a living. But in recent years, their appetite has grown stronger and they have recruited hundreds of people. Although they will not directly compete with the imperial court, the imperial court has no time to control them.
.”
"Especially, the bandit's stronghold is located at the entrance of Hujin. It is covered with reeds and protected by the Water Ghost King. It is very difficult to catch them."
Hujinkou, water ghost bandits, these terms made everyone feel depressed.
Mr. Huang turned around and searched for a long time before he found a wax-yellow government memorandum.
"There is also an arrest warrant for their leader."
【Wanted Order.】
[The crime of beating cattle three times, robbing houses and killing people, unforgivable crimes, Fenghua Mansion will reward you with a hundred taels of silver, and the whole city is wanted.]
There is also an abstract ink painting on it.
"This Niu Sanda is the leader of the Hujin Shuigui Ghost Bandits. After all these years, no one has caught him. Because he has taken refuge in an evil god. We all call that evil god the 'Water Ghost King'."
Speaking of this, Mr. Huang said with a little fear: "The water ghost thieves only operated in Hujinkou at first, robbing merchants coming and going."
"As long as a rich family passes by and is kidnapped by them, they will suffer disaster. The women will be taken back to have babies, while the men will sink directly into the bottom of the water."
"More than ten years ago in Qingshi Town, a caravan suffered a disaster, and the whole family was destroyed. A family of more than ten people was wiped out. It couldn't be more miserable."
"Later, the wealthy people in several towns couldn't hold it any longer, so they jointly paid out money and hired a dozen knights from the world to catch the water ghost thief."
"Jianghu knight? The kind who knows martial arts?" Lu Tianming asked with interest.
"Not only does he know martial arts. The leading knight is proficient in Taoist arts and can spit fire from his mouth!" Huang Youcai gestured with his hands, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"As a result... they were all sunk into the water."
"The 'Water Ghost King' doesn't want any sacrifices. He only likes to drown people in the water. There may be tens of thousands of corpses that have died in Hujinkou over the years."
"The Water Ghost King..." Lu Tianming and Pan Hao looked at each other and recalled the strange "water ghost" recorded on the earth.
According to records, those harmful evil spirits who accidentally died in the water or committed suicide in rivers, lakes and seas and cannot be reincarnated. They secretly wander under the water, seduce or directly pull living people into the water and drown them, becoming their scapegoats.
He can reincarnate himself, and is also known as the "Water Monkey".
Of course, the "Water Ghost King" here may be somewhat different from the legend on earth.
It may have been weak once, but after so many years of operation, it has become a climate that is no longer easy to deal with.
Mr. Huang added: "As time goes by, the water ghost thief has gained a bad reputation, and no one cares about the lake entrance."
"The water ghosts had lost their livelihood and had no choice but to go out and rob. They became popular and began to loot the villages. The women were brought back to give birth to babies, while the men were taken back and drowned directly. Their power became stronger and stronger."
"This time, these bandits may be targeting our Qingshi Town. After all, there are almost no people around, so they can't attack the big city."
"Fortunately, we have predicted the opportunity and finally have some time to prepare." He bowed to the new lady with some respect, "This girl... I don't know what to call her?"
"My surname is Li." Jenny said.
"It turns out to be Miss Li, thank you very much Miss Li." Huang Youcai wondered in his heart, where did so many capable people come from?
It's like it fell from the sky.
In the past half month, more than a hundred refugees have arrived in Qingshi Town. Most of the refugees are good citizens with local household registration.
The Daqian court currently adopts the Baojia system, in which households are organized into units, with a household head; ten households are called Jia, with a chief; ten households are Bao, with a chief.
Qingshi Town will accept all these good people.
After all, there are still many vacant rooms, and some farmland is abandoned and there is no labor force for cultivation. Huang Youcai is eager for someone to come and work for him.
But for refugees without household registration, you need to think about it. They may be robbers who escaped from somewhere...
However, Huang Youcai was surprised to find that the great witch Pan Hao and others seemed unable to obtain their household registration...
Of course, this matter is not important. Qingshizhen fled to death, all the officials ran away, and no one could find the big witch.
But the people brought by the great witch all have great abilities!
Like that girl surnamed Li, who can actually predict things... He couldn't figure out why the transparent stone (crystal ball) could show images even after thinking about it.
Just after burning a stick of incense, the water ghost thieves will come to kill you!
The bell in the town rang, with a "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."
"A water ghost is coming to kill you. Is this news true?"
"My sore mother, how is your recovery going?"
Pan Hao shook his head, "No, now, the power of incense is still too weak. Even if it has strength, it can't be used."
This is another bad news.
Especially the few young people who had just escaped from the disaster had no loyalty to begin with and were thinking of escaping to other places.
Huang Youcai's heart dropped to the bottom. Can Qingshi Town, whose vitality was severely damaged, avoid this disaster?
…
…
While several clan elders in Qingshi Town were looking sad, the people who had just been teleported over were also holding a small meeting.
"This world really can't tolerate us. Disasters come one after another."
"Fortunately, there is a demon god protecting me. Otherwise, I might choke to death even if I take a sip of cold water."
"What's next, how should we deal with it?"
Ms. Jenny's crystal ball reflected the scene of Mo Lake: Qingshi Town was invaded, most of the population was captured, and only a small part escaped.
"I dare not say that the success rate is 100%, but it is 70% to 80%. This is the ending." Jenny sighed, "Of course, the ending has changed a bit now."
"No big deal, follow the instructions in the language and run away!" Lao Lu had already started to pack his luggage and prepare to run away.
"Is this how you became an S-class investigator?" Pan Haoqi asked, "If you run away, what will [Game] do if it gets angry?"
"Before you say victory, say defeat first. This is the basic operation. The enemy's combat strength is unknown. How difficult is it to lead him and he will die here?" Lu Tianming said shamelessly.
In addition to these few people, there is also a small team of five people (visitors), namely Diviner Jenny, Black Guard No. 24, Doctor Fengling, and two special soldiers.
"Okay, okay, let's not argue for now. Let's just ask [Game] for help. It doesn't want to lose this sunk cost, right?"
"Li Qingshan, go up and ask for help."
Li Qingshan gritted his teeth and entered the room.
He looked at everything in the temple curiously. The wooden plaque of "The Mother of Sores" lingered with Dandan's mysterious power, but it was far from [Dark Moon]. As someone who had talked to [Dark Moon], he had no idea about it.
"The sore-bred mother" is not very interesting.
But that stone statue modeled after the lake... look at the charm, the simple atmosphere.
It's just that I can't sense the mysterious power on the stone statue at all.
"Li Qingshan, come up and ask for help!" Lao Lu urged from behind.
Li Qingshan lit three incense sticks stiffly.
This kind of feudal superstitious behavior made him very uncomfortable.
"Pray, you pray!"
Li Qingshan muttered: "Um... we can't defeat the water ghost pirates now. If you can bring in some weapons, we should be able to defeat them."
…
[Foreigner, you feel that you are about to die again, so you are humble and seek help from the great demon god to get some simple weapons. 】
"What kind of weapon, you tell me!"
…
Got a reaction?
There seems to be no response.
There was no other way, so Li Qingshan had no choice but to do the next best thing and want to talk to the "Big Mother of Sores".
"Are you willing to solve this disaster?"
"My... my... Qingshi Town... do you want to eat it? Xianghua?" Mother Sores looked like she was not very smart, thinking about eating all day long, which made her feel helpless.
"The Mother of Sores' foundation here is not deep, and it cannot lend us too much power." Pan Hao sighed, "We have to sacrifice fish and shrimp regularly so that it can condense into an avatar and join the battle. Even now
It's not enough to just improvise."
"Everyone, please stop arguing and listen to me." Dr. Jin stroked his glasses, "Since Ms. Jenny has issued a warning, it is very likely that we, together with some militiamen, will not be able to defeat the robbers."
"Things like black dog blood are ineffective against robbers. What's more, there are no officers and soldiers to help this time. It's not reliable to have a sore mother."
"But [the game] seems to have responded just now, right?"
"I'm not sure if it responded."
On the 24th, Dr. Jin said: "Maybe we didn't make a specific request, so it didn't respond."
"As long as we bring in some modern weapons of mass destruction and a few bandits, what does it matter?"
"Isn't it said that technological products are prone to failure?" Li Qingshan asked, "We can only use the human body to transport some gadgets and strange objects. Is there anything that can destroy the enemy on a large scale? Chemical weapons or biological and chemical weapons?"
Dr. Jin laughed mysteriously: "Yes, of course there is...the incendiary bomb made of Roshan grease is the latest developed project! The burning temperature is enough to melt steel!"
"Try again and let it send some Roshan grease incendiary bombs!"
…
…
As the elders of Qingshi Town continued to discuss and summarize information, Huang Youcai's face became increasingly gloomy.
It’s really like one wave after another.
Because according to the known information, the so-called "water ghost thieves" are not just a group of bandits, they also control unknown monsters in the water!
Ordinary militiamen are simply not enough to fight.
One of them, a sturdy middle-aged man, said with fear on his face: "A few years ago, I saw water ghost thieves looting a caravan from a distance! They drove a kind of monster with long arms and legs, which was invulnerable and huge in number. Even if
Ordinary Taoists are no match for those monsters. In just a few minutes, all these people were captured, and a few were eaten alive. The scene was really shocking..."
"Either we run away!"
Huang Youcai bared his teeth and said, "Where can we escape? Fenghua City is a hundred miles away. It would take two or three days to escape. If we run away now, we will be overtaken sooner or later. We have horses!"
"Mr. Huang, we just killed the evil god half a month ago, and there are not many militiamen left in the town. They just wanted to rob our Qingshi Town when they saw that their troops were empty."
"Women still have a chance to survive, but all men will be sunk to the bottom of the water."
Several elderly people with a little prestige also turned blue.
Their physical strength and footwork are not as good as those of young people, so they cannot escape even if they want to.
What's more, if you escape and become a refugee, you will still be hungry and you won't be able to live for more than a few years.
The atmosphere became increasingly desperate.
Seeing that the righteous god has returned, Qingshi Town is getting better, and there are capable people to guide the direction.
Suddenly, I fell into hell again.
Not willing, not willing!
A few of the timid ones had their clothes soaked with sweat all over their bodies.
"You can't run! If you run away, there will be nothing left!" Huang Youcai squeezed out a few words from his throat, "No big deal, we have to fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!
"
At this moment, even the wrong route is better than no route at all.
At this moment, the "Great Witch" Pan Hao hurried over and was slightly startled when he saw Mr. Huang already boosting his morale.
He sighed in his heart that even among the local aborigines, there are capable people.
"Everyone, listen to what I have to say."
He took out a bright red bead, which was wrapped in a yellow-orange liquid: "Everyone, I have an object, which is the grease collected from the body of the evil god. If you light this object, a violent fire will erupt."
"We can pretend to be sheep and surrender, and then lure these bandits over to initiate self-destruction... With this strategy, we can catch all the water ghost thieves! When it comes to a real crisis, we will not sit idly by and wait until the wounds are revealed!"
"Is this... can this be done?" Huang Youcai glanced at the red beads and looked at Li Qingshan solemnly, "Does this strong man have a family to take care of? Your wife and daughter, I will support them!"
Li Qingshan shook his head: "No worries, no worries, all alone, die without regrets!"
"A strong man is righteous!"
"A strong man is righteous!"
These local squires were simply astonished that there were actually people who died in good health in the world.
Maybe it was Pan Hao's self-confidence that infected these squires; maybe the name of the Sore Mother played a role; or maybe Li Qingshan played a role, and they never wanted to leave their hometown.
Li Qingshan said quickly: "Everyone, it is not appropriate to inform the residents of the town about this plan! I suspect that someone has been instigated to rebel. If more people know about it, it will be a bad thing."
"I understand." Mr. Huang nodded.
All in all, the people of Qingshi Town took action.
They moved as quickly as possible, armed with pitchforks, hoes, spears and other equipment, and gathered at the gate of the town, setting up obstacles such as horses.
"It would be better if we gave us a little more time to get more spears." Lao Lu climbed up the city wall and said with emotion, "The people here are really rich in martial arts. They are just too poor, and they don't even have enough weapons."
…
Just as people were gathering noisily, a black shadow passed across the sky.
"No, that's an eagle with a human face!" a sharp-eyed militiaman shouted loudly.
"Eagle with a human face?"
"It's a monster that specializes in eating people!"
Each one is about two meters long, with wings spread up to 4 meters. Giant birds with black feathers soar from the sky. Their sharp barbed claws can crush a human head with one claw.
The expressions of all the residents of Qingshi Town changed slightly.
This is a kind of bird raised by "water ghost thieves" and specially used for reconnaissance and fighting. At first glance, there are 12 of them.
Not far away, dust was rolling, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and more than a hundred bandits were driving hundreds of strange zombie-like creatures, rushing towards them.
Pan Hao shouted: "The water ghost is here!"
"All militiamen gather! Women and children hide back home!"
"Ready to fight!"
…
…
[Most of the preparations are completed, the water ghost pirates are coming! (*triggered event)]
【Photo】【Photo】
"Aren't the bandits here too strong? They even breed weird ones!" Wang Hao admired the photos of the so-called "human-faced eagles" with relish.
Huh? He's a two-dimensional restaurant waiter from another world. He seems to be a character in some anime. He has a human head and two feet with eagle talons. This is too weird and not interesting at all.
"It's really full of bad taste. Only some perverts would like it..."
As for the blue water ghost, it is really ugly, even if it is beautified, it is a bit off-putting.
[Facing the menacing water ghost thief, are you prepared? 】
[1. Do you think I have the advantage, so what if I just tie A? 】
[2. Stand on the city wall and throw incendiary bombs made of Roshan grease to let them know the power of technology! 】
[3. Let them see the beautiful girls from the earth and the blue star, using the art of seduction, and then find ways to promote the "light of the right path". 】
In order to deal with this crisis, Wang Hao spent 2.5 points of vain power to deliver 3 kilograms of "Roshan Grease Bomb", a weapon of mass destruction.
That was a full 2.5 points of false power! Only 3 kilograms were teleported!
There is no way, the price of technological products is so expensive.
Fortunately, I signed a long-term contract with [Void Moon], which is equivalent to purchasing a permanent monthly card. There will be a replenishment of 1 point every day, so it is not too distressing.
However, facing this choice, Wang Hao fell into deep thought.
The first two options can clarify the specific strategies.
"The first one is not good. Once I feel that I have the advantage, I will definitely overturn. We can't stand this poisonous milk!"
"The second option is also difficult to annihilate all the enemies. If you see the incendiary bombs and can't afford to offend them, why can't you run away?"
