Chapter 0448 Night Watchman

Water monkeys are actually water ghosts.

However, there is another saying in the south that water monkeys are actually a unique aquatic creature. How to say it, it is a zongzi in the water. It is said that the drowned dead child took on the yang energy of the aquatic creature in the water and became a corpse. It is like a black monster with black hair on its body. It looks similar to a monkey. Some people say it is similar to a sloth. In short, it is basically a humanoid monster with black hair all over its body. When it is in the water, it is very powerful. It will drag people into the water, block the seven orifices with silt, and then suck the blood of the dead after killing them. However, this thing is only fierce in the water. Once it is exposed to the sun on the shore, it will become weak in a few minutes. It will die within half a day and will become a mummy within three days!

This saying is somewhat true. First of all, the one who likes to suck blood is the zongzi. Generally, the ghost only sucks the yang energy of the living, not the blood, especially the blood of the dead. Moreover, before the big zongzi has no Taoism, if it is exposed to the sun, it will be finished soon.

But I'm not sure whether this water monkey is a ghost or a corpse, because I've never seen it. But this kind of thing is also very famous among the people, and the legend is widely spread. Generally, people who drown in the water in summer are said to be killed by water monkeys.

Now, when the fat man mentioned this, I immediately became interested and couldn't help asking: "Hey, fat man, you have traveled a lot and have seen a lot. To be honest, have you ever seen a water monkey?"

"Yes, how come I haven't seen it?"

The fat man smiled and said to me: "In fact, that thing is not that mysterious. Folk legends are exaggerated. Frankly speaking, water monkeys are people who drowned in the water. Because the water is heavy with yin energy, the ghosts can't disperse, so they have been harming people in the water to find substitutes. It's not as scary as people say. I guess we really encountered this rare thing this time!"

So that's what happened!

After listening to what the fat man said, I suddenly realized that I finally had an intuitive understanding of the water monkey in folklore.

According to the definition given by the fat man, the thing that pulled me just now is indeed a water monkey, but it is not as hideous and terrifying as described in folklore, with black hair, green face and fangs!

Although it was just a glimpse, I think that the water ghost that almost took my head did not seem to be particularly hideous.

However, at this time, Qingyi and the others were uncertain about their fate. Whether they could subdue the water ghost was still another matter. You must know that water ghosts go wild when they meet water and are extremely fierce underwater. Even if we have sent out four masters to chase them, it is still unknown whether they can be captured. It is indeed a bit too early to say these things now.

Without saying too much, a few of us stayed on the Yin River with the light emitted by the strong light flashlight, and our eyes almost did not blink, trying to capture traces of Qingyi and the others.

Unfortunately, the Yin Qi in this Yin River is strong. Even a strong flashlight can only illuminate about five meters below the horizontal plane. Five meters away, there is no sign of drinking water at all. The white mist is lingering below, just like a white mist holding up a river. Its depth is unpredictable, and what is under the water is also unpredictable!

Time passed by in a minute and a second.

We who were on full alert in the coffin were getting more and more anxious.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, there was finally movement under the water. I saw five black shadows quickly jumping up from the water at a very fast speed!

"Here they come!"

Rosa shouted, and for safety reasons, she directly opened the safety of the submachine gun in her hand. Several of us also held sharp blades and waited.

After a moment, there was a "boom" and the calm river surface suddenly raised several meters of water. The five shadows under the water finally rushed up!

After seeing the situation clearly, I finally put down the knife in my hand, but my heart was hanging in my throat.

Because, Qingyi and the old madman were brought up by Hua Mulan and Chen Yu!

Hua Mulan held Qingyi in one hand and a woman in plain clothes with very long hair in the other hand, while Chen Yu held the old madman in his hand.

After rushing up from the underwater, Hua Mulan and Chen Yu stood steadily in the coffin, and then raised their hands to throw the old madman and Qingyi into the coffin. Only then did I see clearly that Qingyi and the old madman had a faint purple complexion. It was obvious that they were severely corroded by the Yin Qi in the Yin River. It was probably frozen wood, so they showed such a miserable appearance, but they did not suffer any fatal injuries. After falling into the coffin, the two immediately struggled to sit up and began to meditate.

Seeing this scene, I felt relieved. The erosion of Yin Qi is fatal to ordinary people, but it is a piece of cake for masters of their level. As long as they use the Taoist spiritual energy, it will be completely resolved in a short time.

What really interests me is the woman that Hua Mulan brought up. The Yin Qi on her body is thick, and it is obvious that she is not a good person, and she is not a living person. When I saw her long hair, I knew that the thing that almost strangled my head was the one in front of me.

For a moment, I couldn't help but circle around this dirty thing that was obviously injured and had no room for resistance, and I was looking at her carefully.

Although I could only see a side cheek, I could basically get a glimpse of the whole picture.

This water ghost was wet all over, with very long hair. When she was lying on the ground, the ends of her hair even drooped to her hips. She was wearing a plain dress and white cloth shoes with a very classical color. She looked like a girl of 18 or 19 years old, with a very thin face. In short, her appearance should be considered as a girl from a small family, but her ears were very big, which made me think of the big-eared Tutu in the cartoon.

It was just such a pair of abrupt big ears that made this water ghost look a little cute!

Just like... the girl next door.

A, cute water ghost?

I shook my head, forcibly eliminated the messy thoughts in my mind, and then cast my eyes on Hua Mulan to ask about the specific situation.

"No fierce battle."

Hua Mulan sighed softly: "Its Taoism is not very high, but it is very strong and flexible in the water, so it fooled all of us. In fact, if it is a face-to-face duel, it may not be able to withstand your sword! Qingyi and the old madman were almost taken down by it because they could not catch up with it for a long time, and finally they could not withstand the erosion of the Yin Qi. Fortunately, Chen Yu and I are not Yang people, and we are not afraid of the erosion of the Yin Qi. That's why we got rid of her and dragged Qingyi and the old madman away."

After saying this, Hua Mulan hesitated for a moment and added: "We have observed almost all the conditions in the river and found no danger. In the end, this little ghost has become the overlord here. Now that we have dealt with her, we should not encounter any accidents for the time being."

It's good that there will be no accidents!

After hearing this, I breathed a sigh of relief. I stared at this water ghost lying on the ground for a while. I didn't find that it was no different from other evil spirits. I couldn't help but whispered to Hua Mulan: "Why don't you kill it with a knife!"

"That would be a pity."

Hua Mulan shook her head and said: "This thing is very intelligent. Although its cultivation is average, it always has a posture of defending this place to the death. I guess it is very likely related to the corpse-raising land. Moreover, when it came up again, it kept yelling at us. Unfortunately, we couldn't understand the language it spoke, so I thought about catching it back to show you!"

Will yell?

In other words, this dirty thing has mastered the ability to speak?

Then, maybe we can really talk to it. Ants still steal to survive, not to mention these smart dirty things. As long as they are given a way to survive, integrity and morality are nothing to them. If we can get some information about the corpse-raising land from this water ghost, it will be a hundred benefits without any harm!

Thinking of this, I used the sword of Baipi Knife to pick up the chin of this water ghost and let it raise its head. Previously, my neck was entangled by the hair of this thing, and my head was almost cut off. It was so thrilling. Now I still feel a little numb when I see this thing. I can only use Baipi Knife to pick up her chin, so that there is a little distance between me and her... Maybe it is safer!

Probably affected by the evil spirit on the Baipi Knife, in short, when I put the Baipi Knife on the chin of this water ghost, this water ghost will immediately tremble uncontrollably, obviously afraid of such a fierce weapon as the Baipi Knife. However, no matter how I coerced, it was almost a waste of words, and she never raised her head to look at me from beginning to end!

In the end, I was a little anxious. I frowned and thought about it for a while, and then I knew where the problem was-this water ghost couldn't understand what I was saying!

Since she appeared in the ruins of Atlantis, it means that she must be related to the Atlantis Kingdom 10,000 years ago. Why don't I try speaking ancient Greek?

Thinking of this, I immediately ran to communicate with the water ghost in ancient Greek and asked her why she appeared here! ?

"Because I have been guarding the gate here for nearly 10,000 years, and I am also one of the night watchmen of the sleeping place of the great Atlantis monarch!"

Finally, the water ghost spoke, suddenly raised his head, and looked at me with a crazy look full of hatred and malice in his eyes, and said angrily: "All those who disturb my king's sleep are my enemies. Although I am not your opponent, you will not have a good end in the end! Because my king has awakened, a great warrior has been born, and he will lead the Atlantis Kingdom to glory again! And you will become his blood sacrifice after awakening!"
