Chapter 941 Water Ghost

"Hush - don't rush to do it, let me treat them!"

Jiang Feng opened the star map and detected the two monsters under the water. Later, he said to Gao Fei and Martin: "They are two water ghosts, close relatives of the water element. As long as they are immersed in water, they will automatically change their body color according to the water quality, which is equivalent to invisibility."

Martin was also there. She couldn't explain some details of "super swimming" clearly, so she told Gao Fei through the star map private chat channel.

"Both water ghosts have 58 HP points and challenge level 3."

Water ghosts have no fixed tendency of good or evil. Their character will change with the environment they live in.

Water ghosts living in clean waters, such as clear springs and lakes, tend to be kind and usually don't actively attack passers-by. Even if they are disturbed, they just drive the other party away.

On the contrary, water ghosts living in sewage will become cruel and violent. If an animal or a passer-by passes by the water, the evil water ghost will suddenly jump out of the water, entangle the prey, drag it into the water, and drown it alive.

Like most elemental creatures, water ghosts do not need to eat, and they hunt creatures purely to satisfy their evil interests.

So, are these two water ghosts entrenched in the water in the mine good or evil?

Looking at this pool of muddy water with a rotten smell, the answer is self-evident.

Water ghosts rarely appear in the material world.

It is unknown whether these two in front of us accidentally entered the mine through the plane rift or were summoned by someone.

In any case, Gao Fei and his party must get rid of these two stumbling blocks in front of them if they want to pass through this waterlogged mine tunnel.

Arrows, guns and most magic are difficult to penetrate the water barrier and effectively kill enemies hiding under the water. However, Jiang Feng's "dry water technique" is not subject to this limitation. It can penetrate the water barrier and cause 5d6 points of dryness (dehydration) damage to an aquatic creature within 120 feet.

At Gao Fei's signal, Jiang Feng cast a spell underwater, causing 19 points of damage to one of the water ghosts. Although it was not fatal, it was enough to anger it and make it float to the surface to try to retaliate.

Martin had already picked up his shotgun and saw a liquid monster that looked like a python but was not a python emerging from the water. He pulled the trigger without thinking!

Bang!

The bullet hit the head of the water ghost, and a stream of water arrows penetrated its body and flew deep into the tunnel.

The water ghost just shook his head, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong.

This monster has a 10/magic damage reduction armor, and Martin's shotgun can hardly cause effective damage to it.

Gao Fei frowned slightly, raised his hand and threw out five magic missiles to prevent the water ghost from rushing to Martin.

At the same time, another water ghost was also startled by the gunshot, and quickly climbed out of the accumulated water, crawling towards the shore like a python.

Martin fired another shot, and found that he could not repel the water ghosts, so he immediately cast the 2nd level magic "Phantom Step", and his body was covered by a ball of silver mist, and he was instantly teleported to 30 feet away, avoiding the siege of the two water ghosts.

As soon as he stood firm, Martin cast a "Giant Transformation" on the hound, letting it go forward to resist the two chasing water ghosts.

Gao Fei was worried that the hound could not withstand the one-on-two battle, so he blessed it with "Bull's Strength", "Bear's Toughness" and "Acceleration".

The hound with full buffs was as tall and strong as a lion, and its attributes were improved to: Strength 29 (Giant Transformation +2, Bull +6), Agility 16, Constitution 22 (Bear +6), Intelligence 2, Perception 16, Charm 10.

With the increase in size and constitution attributes, the hound's health temporarily increased to 92 points, blocking the tunnel, and not losing out in a one-on-two battle.

At this time, Martin also found that the hunting rifle could not deal enough damage to liquid elemental creatures like water ghosts, so he marked one of the water ghosts with the "Hunter's Mark", and the subsequent attacks on it increased the damage by an additional 1d6 points to ensure that it could penetrate the damage-reducing armor.

Gao Fei's two guns were not magic weapons, and elemental creatures were immune to sneak attacks. Shooting them was like scraping, so he simply hid behind the hound and released magic missiles continuously.

Jiang Feng hung upside down on the top of the tunnel, raised his hand and fired a "burning brilliance", piercing one of the water ghosts, causing more damage than Gao Fei and Martin combined, and killed it directly.

The moment the water ghost died, its spirit dissipated, and its liquid body, which lost the restraint of magic, fell to the ground and turned into a pool of ordinary sewage.

Gao Fei released magic missiles for the third time and eliminated another water ghost.

After ending this encounter, the three took a short rest on the spot.

Jiang Feng treated the hound that had worked hard and restored its life.

After the rest, Martin continued to use the "Giant Transformation Technique" on the hound, so that it could wade directly forward, and he sat on the hound's back like riding a horse to cross the flooded area.

On the way, they passed a relatively narrow section, and the enlarged hound could barely pass through. Martin on his back was too plump, and he would be stuck by the rocks or hit his head if he was not careful.

Jiang Feng attached his feet to the stone wall, freed his hands, and cast the "Shrinkage Technique" on Martin, turning the fat man into a small fat man, and successfully passed through the narrow section.

The three of them groped in the dim tunnel for half an hour and finally got out of the flooded section. The ground under their feet became dry and the space gradually became wider.

After walking for another ten minutes, they reached the end of the tunnel.

In front of them was a spacious cave with an elevator that could take miners to the lower level of the mine.

Gao Fei checked the iron chain sling of the elevator. There was a layer of rust on the surface, but it was strong enough, so he called his companions into the cabin.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Feng asked Martin to take the hound and take the elevator with Gao Fei first, while he stayed there alone, just in case.

There is a joystick in the cabin to control the elevator.

Gao Fei pulled the lever hard, and the iron chain rattled, and the cabin slowly descended.

The two people and the dog waited in the cabin for a full five minutes, descended more than a hundred meters deep, and finally reached the bottom of the well.

With a loud bang, the feet shook violently, Gao Fei and Martin almost fell, and hurriedly supported each other.

When the cabin stopped, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Move the lever again, and the cabin creaked and slowly rose under the drive of the pulley set and the wind element.

Not long after, Jiang Feng also took the elevator down, pushed open the cabin door, and remotely controlled the magic light ball to dispel the darkness. He found that the elevator door was facing a horizontally extending mine pit, and he couldn't help but sighed.

There was no way, he had to continue drilling in this dark underground mine pit!

Fortunately, this tunnel is far away from the underground riverbed and is relatively dry.

Not far ahead, Jiang Feng suddenly stopped and turned back to make a warning gesture to his companions.

With his developed perception and the "sentinel" expertise, Jiang Feng was the most alert member of the team and was the first to notice the sour smell spreading from the front.

Listening carefully, a slight friction sound was faintly heard from the depths of the mine, approaching this side.

Gao Fei held the gun with both hands, held his breath, and illuminated it with the "Dancing Light Technique". He found that there was a black substance rolling in front of him, like a large mass of sticky and elastic jelly.

Judging from the appearance characteristics, it seems to be some kind of mud monster, commonly known as "slime".
