Chapter 47

The first time Joan saw the water ghost, he thought of the horror legends about ghouls recorded in the book. It is said that the world's first ghoul was transformed by a flesh-eating tyrant, and when he died, the villain's insatiable thirst for living flesh and blood brought it back to the afterlife.

Ghouls' lean and stooped figures are deceptive. In fact, they are not only agile, but also stronger than before. Their sharp claws can easily tear the belly of their prey and pull out the victim's intestines. What is more terrifying than brute force is the virus carried by ghouls. If the body is not strong enough, the moment they are scratched or bitten by a ghoul, they will be paralyzed and unable to move. Even if they escape by chance, they will inevitably suffer from the disease afterwards.

It was precisely because of the inaccessibility of the ghouls covered in viruses that Flint prevented Joan, Roger, and Conti, who lacked heavy armor and shield protection, from confronting the ghouls head-on. Tom and Dick who stayed by his side were both He is a warrior in armor and holding a shield, but he is not afraid of the poisonous minions of the ghouls.

The old dwarf stood in the center holding a kite shield, and Tom and Dick stood shoulder to shoulder on the left and right sides. Three strong warriors in full armor raised their shields high to form a steel barrier, blocking the water ghosts rushing in the front row, and then swung their weapons to hit them head-on. The war hammer and battle ax are both heavy weapons. If the skinny water ghost hits it, the bone will be shattered and blood will splatter everywhere.

At the same time that the dwarf nephew and the Tyndall brothers were resisting the siege of the water ghost, the three people hiding in the tree were not idle.

Roger frequently shot and sniped, and the lightning from the shotgun shone in the night. Whenever the gunshot sounded, a ghoul would be torn apart by the buckshot.

Kandy cast a spell to summon a ball of "blazing magic ball", and the remote-controlled fireball rolled back and forth in the most densely populated area of ​​water ghosts, causing the water ghosts to scream and flee in a hurry.

Joan focused on the "hand of the high mage", holding the dagger tightly with an invisible magic hand, and stabbing the water ghost from a distance of a hundred feet, making it impossible for the opponent to fight back. Just as he was concentrating on casting spells, Jamie's roar suddenly came from below him.

Joan looked down, and Flint really guessed that a ghoul, which was smaller and more cunning than ordinary water ghosts, quietly walked around Flint, Dick and Tom under the cover of bushes. The line of defense, climbed under the big tree where he lived. This cunning ghost was about to climb up to attack, Jamie smelled the stench from it, rushed over to bite it by the throat, and knocked it to the ground.

The ghoul wrestled with Jamie, rolling back and forth in the grass. Joan wanted to help Jamie but was worried about accidentally hurting it. When he was hesitating, countless creeping vines suddenly appeared on the grass under his feet, entangled Jamie and the ghoul. At the same time, there was a gunshot from the opposite tree, and the ghoul's head exploded.

Joan gave Roger a thumbs up, admiring his shooting skills, while Roger patted the shotgun with a smile, saying that it was only this sharp weapon that could kill the sneaking ghoul in time. Conti canceled the "entanglement technique", and the wildly dancing vines on the grass quickly retracted to the ground. Jamie regained his freedom, guarding under the Joan tree and sniffing around vigilantly, guarding against other ghouls sneaking up to attack.

Six people and one dog cooperated tacitly, and the battle lasted less than half an hour to wipe out the water ghosts. The three of Joan came down from the tree, and used Jamie's keen sense of smell to hunt down the water ghosts that had fled into the bushes.

After all the water ghosts were wiped out, Kandy blew his whistle to call Nick and his brother. Sissy and Jerry led their horses back to the battlefield, their faces turned pale with fright when they saw the scene of bloody mess everywhere. But when they learned that all the water ghosts occupying the Unfrozen Lake had been wiped out, they immediately showed joyful smiles.

At this time, there was a gust of wind blowing from the opposite side of the lake shore, and the wind was mixed with a disgusting fishy-sweet smell.

"Hey! Do you smell a strange smell? It smells really disgusting." Roger asked his companion beside him while covering his nose.

Jamie sniffed in the direction of the night wind, and suddenly barked sharply.

Joan understood Jamie's habits, saw it so nervous, and immediately realized that the situation was not good, and quickly reminded his companions to take up weapons, as enemies more dangerous than water ghosts were about to appear.

Roger and Candy climbed back up the tree quickly, and Dick and Flint, Tom and his nephew also held their weapons tightly, and kept their eyes on the direction from which the smell came.

There was a crackling sound of branches breaking in the forest. A tall and thin figure moved quickly in the forest shrouded in darkness. While running, his body swayed from side to side, like a drunk who might fall at any time, but he was able to maintain his balance in a weird way. In a blink of an eye, he rushed out of the bushes and appeared in front of Joan and the others.

This monster is hunchbacked, resembling a human but not a human, with a huge hooked nose protruding from its flat face, nine feet tall from head to toe, with a pair of thick long arms and huge claws that are out of proportion to its thin body, running When the upper body leaned forward, a pair of sharp claws dragged on the ground, looking like a green-skinned giant ape. Except for the messy, waterweed-like curly hair on the top of the head, there is no other hair on the monster's body. The gray-green skin is covered with rough particles and lumps, as if covered with a thick layer of moss. It just ran around naked in the forest. , let out breathtaking screams from the mouth, echoing each other one after another.

Seeing this strange monster, Joan immediately thought of a legendary monster, and quickly warned his companions: "Be careful, it's a troll!"

The troll's thin body and slender limbs made it look a bit fragile, but it actually possessed amazing speed and strength. It rushed to Tom in an instant, swung its long arms, and its claws tore through the air and roared through the wind.

The young dwarf's face paled slightly, and he mustered up the courage to hold his shield high. The troll's sharp claws hit the shield, and there was a dull roar. Cracks appeared in the large steel-cast shield. The stocky Tom fell backwards while holding the shield, rolling on the grass in embarrassment. The strong impact was transmitted through the shield, and Tom's arms were so numb that he almost lost consciousness.

The troll's cloudy eyes were full of murderous intent, and he quickly crawled towards Tom, stretching out his long arms and trying to grab the dwarf's throat. A dart came in just in time and caught the troll in the face, sinking deep into its left eye socket, forcing it to put off its pursuit of Tom.

Joan remotely controlled the "Hand of the High Mage" and threw the dart. He didn't even care to check whether it hit or not. He immediately manipulated the magic hand to grab Tom's ankle and drag him backwards, keeping him as far away from the threat of the troll as possible.

There was a flash of lightning in the forest, and then there was the buzz of a gun being fired. A hole the size of a bowl exploded in the troll's abdomen, and thick green blood gushed out. The monster took a dart from Joan and a shot from Roger successively, but there was no expression of pain on his face. He raised his hand and grabbed the dart deep in his eye socket, and pulled it out forcefully, and the dart attached to the dart tip Throwing the bloody eyeballs into his big mouth, he swallowed them without chewing.
