Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 414: Avoiding Water Beads

Liu Xing frowned, unexpectedly at this time, Hu Li suddenly disappeared.

Before learning that Zhang Jingxu and others were attacked by water ghosts, Liu Xing thought that Hu Li should also know about this matter, and logically speaking, Hu Li would also go to help out.

But now, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel a little strange, after all, it's almost the next time point, Hu Li should stay at her home, unless. . .

Liu Xing thought of a possibility that Hu Li might have gone to see Luliu.

"Forget it, let's put aside the matter about Hu Li for now. It's meaningless to talk about it now, and we don't dare to directly blame Hu Li now, so let's talk about the receipt of this time to kill the water ghost." Wan Chongshan said suddenly.

Liu Xing nodded subconsciously, and asked: "That's right, Shi Chuanling, you should have gained a lot from this trip, after all, according to those games, when killing the mountain monster and the pig-headed butcher, they all dropped some good things."

Shi Chuanling nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, although Zhang Jingxu was unfortunately killed this time, we got a lot of good things. First of all, Wang Ping'an built three animal traps for us, and at our request, Wang Ping'an built them with the requirement of being able to catch wild boars. So as long as Gu Envoy Chaxi stepped on the trap, unless a strong man broke his leg, Gu Envoy Chaxi would not be able to get out of the trap."

"Then Wang Ping'an thought we were going to hunt in the mountains, so he sold us some cold weapons, such as iron knives and spears. These were the secondary weapons used by the hunters in Panlong Town to hunt in the mountains. After all, no matter whether they used shotguns or bows and arrows, if they missed a single shot when hunting prey like wild boars and wolves, generally speaking, there would be no chance for a second long-range attack, so they could only use melee weapons."

"Hearing what Wang An'an said, we also felt quite reasonable, and at that time we also thought that no matter whether we were dealing with the Gu envoy Chaxi, the water ghost, or the last Graki, we would definitely have to fight in close quarters, so we bought the four iron knives that Wang An'an kept at home. After all, for those of us who have not received professional training, the iron knives should be regarded as the most handy weapon, because the attack range and lethality are good, unlike the spears and bows that require a lot of practice to be able to deal damage well."

"It is precisely because we bought the iron knife recommended by Wang An'an that we have the opportunity to kill the water ghost. After all, if there is no iron knife, we can say that we have no power to resist, because we will never be able to fight the water ghost. We must know that the skin of the water ghost is very tough. Many of our attacks have not cut its skin. If we replaced it with fists, we might not be able to break the water ghost's skin at all. The ghost lost too much blood and lost its combat effectiveness, otherwise we might have to explain everything there."

"After killing the water ghost, although Zhang Jingxu's condition was a bit bad, we did not forget to take the body of the water ghost with us, and the identity of the water ghost was exactly what Xiao Mochen said, the Glaaki believer. We took a small bag he was carrying with him, and after getting no response from Hu Li, we threw the body of the water ghost downstairs at Hu Li's house, and then came back directly. Find out?"

Liu Xing raised his brows, shook his head and said, "Let's wait for Zhang Jingxu's resurrection to open that small bag. After all, Zhang Jingxu bought it with his life, and Zhang Jingxu will be resurrected in four or five hours."

"I agree." Wan Zhongshan and Li Dian also nodded.

At this moment, there were some noises from downstairs.

Liu Xing and the others frowned, because Hu Cang was also upstairs now.

"We haven't dealt with the big hole on the shutter door yet, so could some kind of thief come to the door?" Liu Xing said looking at Hu Cang.

Hu Cang shook his head, and said: "Although there are indeed thieves in Panlong Town, but for some reason, during the duration of the heavy rain, no other residents of Panlong Town will go out except me, so the downstairs should not be thieves."

At this time, the person downstairs began to go upstairs.

Liu Xing thought for a while and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then the person downstairs should be Hu Li, after all, she has a reason to come to us right now."

Ten seconds later, the person who came to the third floor was indeed Hu Li.

"Sorry, I'm late." Hu Li said with some embarrassment: "Just now I went to Sister Luliu to talk about the matter of Graki's sudden trip to the Galaxy. Sister Luliu also agreed with my point of view. Graki will probably attack us after three time points, so Sister Luliu hopes that we can kill the water ghost and Gu envoy Chaxi at the next time point, so that we can enter Panlong Lake as soon as possible to deal with a Graki who has not fully recovered."

"Because Sister Luliu is in a special place, I didn't notice the conflict between you and the water ghost at the first time. When I came back from Sister Luliu, I found that you had already killed the water ghost, but Zhang Jingxu should have died at the hands of the water ghost. After all, I can no longer feel Zhang Jingxu's breath. By the way, in order to express my apology, I decided to give you the most important material on the water ghost—the water-avoiding beads, and I have already processed the water-avoiding beads."

While talking, Hu Li took out a crystal clear bead the size of a pigeon egg from her pocket.

Now that Hu Li had already admitted her mistake, Liu Xing and the others couldn't say anything more, they could only focus on the water-repelling beads in Hu Li's mouth.

Because he was sitting outside, Liu Xing took the water-proof beads that Hu Li took out without hesitation.

Water-repelling beads. In some special cases, water ghosts can condense water-repelling beads in their bodies. The user only needs to hold the water-repelling beads, and can move freely in waters within a depth of ten meters without any equipment. However, it will consume 2d2 points of MP per minute.

Liu Xing frowned, and passed the water-proof bead to Ishikawa Linghou who was next to him and said, "Uh, Miss Hu Li, since this bead is called the water-proof bead, the effect of this bead should be to allow people to move freely in the water, right?"

Hu Li nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, the effect of this water-avoiding bead is to allow the holder to move freely in water at a certain depth. If I remember correctly, as long as the water is within ten meters, the water-avoiding bead will take effect. However, there is a certain price to be paid for using the water-avoiding bead. For monsters like us or those Taoist monks who have cultivated among you humans, the price to pay is your own mana, but for Mr. Meteor and ordinary people who have not been trained, the price is your spiritual power." , so ordinary people like Mister Meteor, it is best not to use water-repelling beads for a long time, so as not to have a nervous breakdown and drown in the water."

Liu Xing thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Miss Hu Li, there is only one water-proof bead, and the five of us can't be separated. How about Miss Hu Li, how about giving us a few more water-proof beads?"

Hu Li knew that Liu Xing was joking, but still couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Hehe, Mr. Meteor, you really know how to joke. Do you know how precious this water-repellent bead is? You must know that not all water ghosts condense water-repellent beads in their bodies, because the concept of water ghosts is relatively general, and can be roughly divided into two types. They don't condense water-repellent beads, because their bodies have evolved similar organs to fish."

"The other type of water ghost is the water ghost that humans turn into. If a human has great resentment when they die in the water, then the human is likely to become a water ghost. Of course, some more vicious spells can directly turn a human into a water ghost. However, even if they become a water ghost, their body is still similar to that of a human. Except that their skin has become pale and smooth, and its flexibility is higher than that of processed cowhide, and only the eyes protrude."

At this time, Wan Zhongshan nodded and said, "That's right, the water ghost looks exactly like what you said, Miss Hu Li, it looks like the corpse of a drowned person."

Hu Li chuckled and continued: "If a human becomes a water ghost, they will condense the basis of water-repelling beads in their bodies, a colorless and transparent gel-like substance. This gel substance can allow water ghosts to move freely in the water. However, for ordinary people, this gel substance is useless. To me, it is only a useful material. There may be only one water ghost in a hundred that can condense water-repelling beads. So I can only say that you are very lucky to get this water-repelling bead."

"So that's it. Thank you, Ms. Hu Li, for your guidance. Then we will accept this water-proof bead without hesitation." Liu Xing said with a smile.

Hu Li looked at her watch and said, "It's okay. After all, you killed this water ghost entirely by yourself. I just disemboweled you and took out this water-repellent bead, and I was able to decompose a lot of useful materials from that water ghost's corpse. Well, I'll take a step ahead now and try to finish decomposing that water ghost's body before the next time comes. By the way, do you want a protective suit made of water ghost skin? You must know that water ghost skin is very defensive." Oh."

Everyone's complexion changed and they shook their heads quickly.

After all, as Hu Li said, water ghosts are human beings, so in the eyes of Liu Xing and others, there is no difference between water ghost skin and human skin. . .

Seeing this situation, Hu Li said with some disdain: "Hehe, I knew that you humans are some pious guys. The protective clothing you asked me to make were all made of animal leather such as pig skin and wolf skin. As a result, you are now unwilling to wear the skin of the water ghost that comes from the same source as yours. And you can kill the water ghost, tsk tsk tsk."

Hu Li went downstairs while talking.

Liu Xing and the others looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a while, Wan Zhongshan played with the water-repelling beads in his hand, and said, "Speaking of how to distribute the water-repelling beads, we're going to deal with Glaaki later, I'm afraid we need to go into the water."

Liu Xing nodded. Although Glaaki can also act on land, as a "sea slug", Glaaki definitely prefers to stay in the water.

After all, Glaaki's title is "Dweller of the Lake", not "Dweller of the Mountain".

So, if there's going to be a fight with Glaaki's clone after this, a water battle is definitely inevitable.

But at this time, Liu Xing suddenly had an idea in his mind, that is to use this water-avoiding bead to find the black dragon in the Panlong River.

Because the black cat demon has already said that the black dragon should still exist in the current Panlong Town, but like the situation of the black cat demon, the current black dragon should be in a special state, or restricted, so Liu Xing thinks that the black dragon is probably sealed at the bottom of the Panlong River.

And now that the water ghost is dead, there is basically no danger in the Panlong River, so he can take the water-avoiding beads to look for the black dragon in the Panlong River.

Ever since, Liu Xing expressed his own thoughts. Of course, Liu Xing concealed the part of the black cat demon.

As Liu Xing's "little brother", Shi Chuanling naturally agreed at the first time, and Wan Zhongshan and Li Dian also chose to nod in agreement after thinking for a while.

Therefore, the water-avoiding beads temporarily came to Liu Xing's hands.

Because they had almost finished talking, Liu Xing and the others started bragging about the mountains together, and before they knew it, the time had come to 11:59 in the middle of the night.

Liu Xing looked at the phone, stood up and said, "Why don't we go and take a look at Zhang Jingxu's body now, and see how he came back to life?"

Everyone nodded in agreement, so they put Zhang Jingxu's "corpse" on the table again.

As Liu Xing's twelve o'clock alarm clock sounded, the sound of rain outside the window stopped instantly, and the bright moonlight also shone in through the window.

Then, the terrible wounds on Zhang Jingxu's body healed completely in an instant, not even a scar was left, and Zhang Jingxu's originally pale face gradually turned rosy.

Then, Zhang Jingxu's chest began to rise and fall, and his limbs began to twitch slightly.

After another minute, Zhang Jingxu finally opened his eyes, but when he saw Liu Xing and others surrounding him, he was so scared that he jumped off the table.
