Chapter 46 Water Ghost
"Fortunately, there was time to catch up." Joan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and concentrated on remote-controlling the "Hand of the High Mage" to push away the will-o'-the-wisp and prevent it from approaching Dick.
"Joan, well done!" The old dwarf cast an appreciative glance at the young mage, and then shouted orders: "Little guys, listen carefully to me! Will-o'-the-wisps are incorporeal undead and cannot be destroyed by non-magical weapons." You are injured, Roger, stop wasting bullets, quickly drag your elder brother to a safe place, and Tom don't move forward, your hammer is useless against will-o'-the-wisps, let me deal with the damned undead!"
The old dwarf threw the war hammer with all his strength, and the magic flying hammer circled and danced like a silver wheel across the dark night sky. It hit the will-o'-the-wisp with a thunderous roar, shaking the trees in the forest. Countless wronged souls were annihilated under the hammer, and the faint phosphorus fire became dim and shrunk in size.
Flint raised his hand to call back the warhammer, and threw it again in pursuit of victory. The second hammer also hit the will-o'-the-wisp, but passed through as if hitting a cloud of air, failing to cause real damage to the will-o'-the-wisp.
The old dwarf frowned, and had to admit a grim reality: Even magic weapons might not be able to cause tangible damage to incorporeal undead every time. Fortunately, Joan was still maintaining the "Hand of the High Mage", and slapped away the will-o'-the-wisp that was trying to pounce on Flint.
The incorporeal quality of the will-o'-the-wisp can penetrate physical obstacles such as walls, dodge most weapons and magic attacks, but cannot pass through the invisible "force field" barrier, and the "Hand of the High Mage" has the "force field" Attribute spells, so Joan can be sure to hit it every time he takes a shot.
The upper limit of the strength that the "Hand of the Higher Mage" can carry is only a mere 40 pounds. This level of blow cannot eliminate the will-o'-the-wisp, but fortunately it is enough to restrain it. When Flint Anvil roared for the third time and threw the magic hammer, the will-o'-the-wisp finally ushered in its doom, and was crushed on the spot by the heavy flying hammer.
boom!
At the last moment before the destruction, the will-o’-the-wisp exploded suddenly, and the high-concentration negative energy dissipated. The vegetation within a 10-foot radius all withered and withered, as if they had been drained of water. The roar of the explosion echoed in the forest for a long time.
Seeing the destruction caused by the will-o'-the-wisp's self-explosion, everyone was terrified and thankful that they hadn't approached the monster, otherwise they might have been dragged to be buried with it at this time.
After confirming that the will-o'-the-wisps had been completely destroyed, Joann finished casting spells and focused, and turned back to Candy who was taking care of the wounded: "How is Dick?"
"Already awakened, but still very weak."
The sequelae left by the electric shock made Dick's limbs numb, and he barely managed to stand up, but he was unable to pick up his own weapon.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too careless. Not only did I not help, but it also became a burden to everyone." Dick's eyes glistened with tears.
"Don't be sad, you'll get better soon."
Kandy took out a handful of olives from his pocket, and softly chanted the magic prayer, and the natural power was infused into the olives, making these small berries green and emitting a faint fragrance. After casting the spell, Conti handed the blessed fruits to Dick, beckoning him to eat them.
Dick didn't like the bitter taste of green olives very much, but faced with Conti's encouraging eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stuffed the olives into his mouth, and ate four of them in one go. Thank you gratefully to the druid girl.
Seeing that Dick recovered, everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the sound of splashing water suddenly came from the lake opposite the woods, mixed with piercing strange screams, moving quickly from far to near.
Two small figures rushed over, they were Nick and Jing, with anxiety and fear on their faces.
"Be careful everyone! A large group of water ghosts are rushing over!"
"The will-o'-the-wisp must have alarmed the water ghosts lurking in the lake and launched an attack before we were ready," Dick said bitterly.
"Boy, can you swing an ax yet?" Flint asked, patting Dick on the shoulder.
"Of course no problem!" Dick puffed out his chest, impatient to wash away the humiliation he had just suffered through a fierce fight.
"That's good, we have to organize a formation to resist the siege before the water ghost arrives."
After all, the old dwarf had seen strong winds and waves, looked around at the young people around him, and calmly lined up his troops.
"Joan, Conti, and Roger backed up, and if you can climb a tree, climb it for me—you don't have armor and shields, and you can't stop the sharp minions of the water ghost! Dick and Tom come to me and show you Weapons and shields, help me form a shield wall against the enemy, so that our mages, druids and gunners can calmly snipe the stinking ghouls!"
Jamie growled eagerly, seeming displeased at Mr. Commander's neglect of it.
"By the way, there is also Jamie, our brave beagle." The old dwarf smiled and patted the half-blood winter wolf's head, "You just stay under the tree, in case the water ghost breaks through our defense line and tries to Whoever climbs a tree and attacks us, you tear it off—chop off its legs like you would a bone."
Jamie barked twice happily, as if to say "Promise to complete the task."
"Uncle dwarf, don't forget me and Jerry! What can I do for you?"
At the critical juncture, the courage shown by Nick and his brother is admirable, but Flint thinks that these two goblins had better not fight the water ghost head-on, so he entrusts everyone's mounts to the siblings to take care of them so as not to be caught by the water ghost. Wounded by ghosts.
Sissy and Jerry gladly took the order, leading the panicked horses into the jungle.
Joan, Roger, and Conti each climbed up a big tree and found a more comfortable position to shelter in order to free up their hands to cast spells or shoot sniper shots. Conti noticed that the light in the forest was dim, so he blessed a 0-ring "Light Art" on a branch. The moment the fingertip touched the branch, the light shaped by the magic power lit up. The small ball of light hangs on the branch, like an orange lantern, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and the warm radiance makes the companions who are waiting in battle feel at ease.
Jamie was the first to smell the rancid smell in the night wind, and growled in disgust. The branches in the bushes on the opposite side swayed, and a group of vicious monsters rushed out screaming.
Most of these abominable undead creatures are transformed from the corpses of the drowned. Although they still retain their human form, they have mutated long and sharp teeth and claws. In the depths of his eye sockets glowed pale soul fire, revealing naked greed and cruelty.
These gluttonous undead creatures are aquatic ghouls commonly known as "water ghosts"!
