Chapter 388 Encountering a Water Ghost

"Hey, it looks like we succeeded again!" Chu Tian patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I told you, our luck has always been pretty good."

Zhang Meng also laughed: "Of course, with us here, any problem can be solved!"

"I hope your optimism will continue." Ye Li interrupted, with a hint of worry in her tone, "I don't know what more difficult challenges are waiting for us ahead."

As soon as the voice fell, a wide lake appeared in front of them, with a thin layer of mist covering the lake. The lake water looked clear, but it exuded an inexplicable chill.

"It seems that we have to cross this lake." Qin Feng stood by the lake, looking at the other side not far away. A small island could be vaguely seen across the lake, where there seemed to be an ancient altar.

Chu Tian looked at the lake and raised his eyebrows: "This lake looks quite peaceful, but it's such a big place, maybe there are some bad things hidden underneath."

Zhang Meng scratched his head: "Yeah, after all, haven't we encountered enough troubles along the way?"

"Everyone be careful," Qin Feng said cautiously, "It doesn't look that simple."

After discussing it, they decided to use a small boat to cross the lake. They found a small boat that looked quite old and covered with moss, which obviously had not been used for a long time.

"This ship looks a bit suspicious." Ye Li flicked the board with her fingers and felt the ship shaking a little.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Meng said as he jumped onto the boat. The boat shook violently with his movements. "We have no choice but to use it to cross the lake."

Qin Feng also boarded the boat and placed the gem on the bow. Chu Tian and Ye Li also jumped on the boat one after another. The boat was just big enough for four people to sit on, and everyone carefully maintained their balance.

"Okay, let's go!" Chu Tian gently paddled the boat, and the boat began to move slowly towards the center of the lake.

The lake was unusually calm, with only the sound of their oars and the occasional chirping of birds. As they moved deeper into the center of the lake, the fog on the lake became thicker and their vision became blurred.

"This place is getting weirder and weirder." Ye Li frowned. Her frost fox stood vigilantly at the bow, sniffing the air.

Suddenly, the lake water began to fluctuate slightly, as if something was moving underwater.

"Everyone be careful!" Qin Feng became more alert and held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly in his hand.

At this moment, the lake water suddenly exploded, and a huge water ghost suddenly jumped out of the water, its body wet, its skin was bluish-gray, its eyes were empty, and a low roar came from its mouth.

"Water ghost!" Chu Tian shouted, and the storm wolf soul ring flashed instantly. He waved his hand and sent out a gust of wind blade heading straight for the water ghost.

The water ghost was extremely fast. It turned in the air, nimbly dodged the wind blade, and then pounced on Qin Feng. Qin Feng quickly dodged sideways and stabbed the water ghost with a sword, with blue electric light flashing on the sword.

"Everyone be careful, this water ghost is not simple!" Ye Li shouted, and her frost fox released a cold air, trying to freeze the water ghost's movements.

However, the water ghost rolled nimbly in the air to avoid the cold air, and then dived into the lake, and the lake surface became calm again.

"It's hiding!" Zhang Meng looked around nervously, "What should we do now?"

"Don't panic!" Qin Feng said calmly, "It must still be nearby, ready to attack us again."

Sure enough, after a few seconds, the water ghost rushed out from the water again, this time with a huge bone spear in its hand, and stabbed directly at Zhang Meng.

"Ouch!" Zhang Meng yelled, and quickly blocked the bone spear with the giant axe in his hand. The two collided with a loud noise, and the ship shook violently, almost throwing them all into the water.

Chu Tian saw that the time had come, and quickly used the Storm Wolf's Thunder Claw to strike the water ghost, and the lightning instantly hit the water ghost's body. The water ghost let out a scream, and his figure instantly dissipated in the air.

"It's gone?" Ye Li asked doubtfully.

Qin Feng shook his head: "No, it's not that simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surface of the lake began to ripple again, and the figure of the water ghost was looming in the lake, as if there were countless shadows swimming underwater.

"Everyone be careful, there is more than one water ghost in this lake!" Qin Feng warned loudly.

At this moment, countless water ghosts suddenly emerged from the lake, each holding a bone spear and rushing towards the boat ferociously.

"Oh no, we are surrounded!" Chu Tian shouted.

"Let me try!" Zhang Meng shouted, and his Giant Rock Bear soul ring flashed out. The Giant Rock Bear roared, swung his giant palm and smashed it hard into the lake, causing huge waves and beating several water ghosts into pieces.

But there were too many water ghosts. They killed one batch after another. Ye Li and Chu Tian resisted while protecting Qin Feng at the bow. The Dragon Shadow Sword in Qin Feng's hand emitted a shining light. He knew that he had to find a way to completely get rid of these water ghosts.

"Everyone protect me, I have an idea!" Qin Feng suddenly had an idea and shouted loudly.

Ye Li nodded and used the cold air of the Frost Fox to build an ice wall, temporarily blocking the attack of the water ghost. Chu Tian and Zhang Meng also fought hard to buy time for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and gathered all the power of the Dragon Shadow Sword on the tip of the sword. He knew that these water ghosts were not real entities, but the embodiment of a certain power in the lake. He had to find the source of that power.

As the sword light intensified, Qin Feng suddenly thrust the sword into the lake. Instantly, a strong electric current was transmitted from the tip of the sword to the bottom of the lake, and the lake surface was immediately covered by the electric current. All the water ghosts turned into foam under the action of the electric current, and the lake surface returned to calm again.

"I did it!" Chu Tian shouted excitedly.

Zhang Meng also laughed loudly and said, "Qin Feng, well done!"

Qin Feng took back the Dragon Shadow Sword and said, panting, "These water ghosts should be summoned by some kind of power. It seems that we still need to cross the lake as soon as possible to see the altar on the other side."

They continued to row, and the boat slowly approached the other side of the lake. When they finally got close to the other side, they found an old man standing on the shore, with silver hair and deep eyes.

"Young men, I am amazed by your courage," the old man said with a smile, "but do you know what you are looking for?"

Qin Feng looked at the old man, puzzled, but still asked politely: "Excuse me, who are you? Why are you waiting for us here?"

The old man smiled but did not answer. He just turned around slowly and walked towards the altar. "You will know. Follow me."

Qin Feng and his companions looked at each other. Although they were full of doubts, they knew that the old man in front of them seemed to know some important information about their trip. So they decided to follow the old man and walk towards the ancient altar.
