Chapter 3: First Hunt

The four of them get down and tie the boat and start to step into the forest, they fired up a torch and starts to go deeper until they reached the swamp

Yi Xiang asked: "Is this saltwater swamp that man-sized clam pearl located in?

Uncle Eh replied: "Yes, the clam itself is not living in the ocean but in this swamp, that is why we need your dad weapon instead of diving equipment"

Uncle Bi suddenly cut: "Quiet, the water ghoul is nearby, it means man-sized clam is also nearby"

Hah Hah Hah Hah, this sound is getting closer and closer, it is the sounds of water ghoul

Uncle Eh replied: "To arms!"

Uncle Eh equip his swords and shield, Uncle Bi unsheathe his Greatsword from his back, and Uncle is now pointing his Crossbow into where the sounds come from

The group of water ghoul appear, they resemble a zombie with dark blue skin, and they have better agility than a zombie, the group of water ghoul consists of 13 water ghoul and charging into four of them

(You can imagine the water ghoul similar to "Drowners" from "The Witcher" game from PS4)

"Eh protect me" Uncle Sih said while shooting the arrow from the crossbow without injecting his soul energy into one of the water ghoul body

BOOOAAM!

One of water ghoul flew into another water ghoul behind it and both of them crushed into the tree, the tree is quite big and it was impacted by the two water ghouls and water ghoul blue blood burst from the head after impact

"Such strong impacts without the soul force, what a great weapon, take this!!" Uncle Bi said while swinging the sword from left to right into the water ghouls in front

Three of the water ghoul upper-body left their bottom part of the body after the sharpness part of the sword touch them they were cut in two

After the first swing, another six of the water ghouls charging in into Uncle Bi, but Uncle Bi is very calm and shouts "Sea Snail Swing!" He swings it from right to the left where this time it is Sea Snail Shell that will be touching the Water Ghoul

The Sea Snail shell that is at the tip of the sword is very tough and when it touches into sea ghoul body, it is a really skull-crashing moment

Crakkkk!

6 of the Sea Ghouls body are sent flying and cannot move as they are permanently disabled because their body has no bone connected remain inside their body

Seeing this opportunity, Yi Xiang run towards the six of the disabled Sea Ghouls and pierce his Iron Long spear into the head of disabled Sea Ghouls on the ground

Chesh Chesh Chesh!

Each of the piercing bursting our the blood from the head of a water ghoul

After Yi Xiang has killed 6 disabled Sea Ghoul, Uncle Eh and Uncle Sih have already killed the remaining water ghouls

After confirming all of the sea ghouls death, Uncle Bi said: "Its done, our weapon is too strong, what a blacksmith, 50 pieces of golds are very cheap for this kind of weapon"

Uncle Eh replied: "Shall we continue moving?"

"Wait a minute, I want to collect all of the Water Ghoul corpses, and can Uncles wait for me a bit?" Yi Xiang replied

Oh sure, just what is the use of the corpse of water ghoul use for you? Is that your father know how to make something from it?" Uncle Eh replied

Yi Xiang replied while collecting the 13 corpses of Sea Ghoul into his spatial rings: "My father does not know but maybe I know how I can make it useful later at home"

After finish collecting the 13 corpses, they continued to go deeper into the swamp until they stop their steps and their face looked amazed

Uncle Eh shocked and said: "This is…."

Uncle Bi said "Man-sized clam….. And there are 5 of them in one place"

Uncle Sih said "What is going on? Is there a Kappa Ghoul over here?"

Yi Xiang replied: "Kappa Ghoul from the MythBook? Is Uncle telling me the creature that has a fierce nature of Ghoul and defensive ability of a Kappa?"

Uncle Sih said: "Yes, originally Man-sized clam is his treasure, whenever we hunt man-sized clam, we are stealing his treasure, but usually there is only one man-sized clam everytime we go hunting, if there is 5 of them here means we are at his Den!"

Hakkk Hakkk Hakkk!

Suddenly after the sound, there is a figure running from the west side of them

The figure is like a fierce Ghoul with razor claw on its hands and its back has a turtle shell, it resembles a Kappa from the Mythbook!

Uncle Bi shouts out loud: "Boss battle formation!! Quick!"

The Ghoul Kappa suddenly makes a jump and leap with its sharp claws pointing into their group

Uncle Eh raises his shield and he injected his soul energy into his shield and his shield goes head to head with the Ghould Kappa

Clang!!!

The Ghoul Kappa body was pushed and flew over 3 meters and quickly get up into a battle stance

Just when it is about to get up into its battle stance, an arrow flew and hit into his body

The Ghoul Kappa body flew another 6 meters

And Uncle Sih quickly reloaded his crossbow

"Any idea how to finish him off?" Uncle Bi asked

"We should pierce him in the head, Bi you should disable him first so we can land him a finishing blow" Uncle Sih said

When Uncle Bi nods, the Kappa Ghoul get up and make a quick jump

"Same attack pattern, I can handle this" Uncle Eh said and raising his shield and injecting the soul energy again

Just when the Kappa Ghoul is about to hit with the Iron Turtle Shield, all the head, claws, legs went inside the Kappa shell

Clang!!

The Kappa Ghoul this time was not pushed by the effect of the Iron Turtle, this is normal because Iron Turtle is Iron ranked beast while this Kappa Ghoul is a late stage of Steel ranked. One whole big tier, the Iron Turtle shield should be praised because its toughness thanks to the Iron Turtle plate forged within it

"What!? It is a late stage of Steel ranked beast!" Uncle Eh said

Just when he is about to panic, head, hands, legs of the Kappa suddenly emerged from the Kappa Ghoul, the Kappa Ghoul turned around using his razor claw to attack Uncle Eh

"Watch Out!" Uncle Bi said in a hurry
