Chapter 364: Instant Kill of Water Ghost, Horror Legend
In front of the bounty list, a man wearing a fog mask spoke loudly.
The flesh on the scar-faced butcher’s face twitched slightly, and his eyes became cold, as if he was looking at a corpse.
"Top three on the bounty list? I am very optimistic about you."
Anyone can hear the irony in the words. The butcher was afraid that the other party would only talk the talk but not practice, so he took a step forward. The strong smell of blood hit Yeats.
The atmosphere was solemn, solemn and silent, and others watched the butcher's reaction uneasily and nervously.
‘Blood Beast’ Rondo is the owner of the slaughterhouse. He occasionally does smuggling and gangster work. His main business is of course slaughtering to make a living.
Thousands of tons of sea monsters, in front of his serrated steel knife like a torture instrument, are no different from cattle and sheep.
When a sea animal is killed, it is inevitable that several kilograms of blood will be stained on the body. In addition, Rondo is tall and strong, like a ferocious beast, hence the title.
Although not as good as the top three on the bounty list, ‘Floating Sword’ Gonzalez, ‘Red-haired’ Sophia, and ‘Ruthless’ Blackbeard, they are still among the top ten strong men on the Black Lagoon list.
There is a mixed crowd in front of the bounty list, but most of them are discerning. Everyone is worried that Rondo will be furious because of Leng Touqing's provocation, which will in turn implicate themselves!
However, Rondo’s eyes seemed meaningful. Looking at the misty believer who called himself ‘Loki’ and faced him directly, his waist was still straight, his face softened slightly.
He took a money bag from his waist and weighed it in his hands. The sound of the silver coins clattering was sweet and clear.
"Tonight I will send a few brothers to the water tomb to lookout for you."
The giant man, nearly two meters tall, stared down at Yeats with a low and hoarse voice:
"If you are still alive before dawn tomorrow morning, this bag of sea serpent coins will be yours."
With that said, the butcher threw the bag of money directly to Yeats.
Yeats caught it easily, estimated the amount, and felt something strange in his heart.
There are about fifty sea serpent coins in the purse, which is really a huge sum of money in Black Reef Port. Spending a spring night with a beautiful Isu girl can only cost you five sea serpent coins.
“If you die, this money will be buried with you as if I took it away.”
The butcher glanced sideways and suddenly showed a serious smile with white teeth.
“I hope you won’t disappoint me, Loki.”
He strode away quickly, and several accompanying employees flashed out from the crowd, looking at Yeats with complicated expressions, and then quickly Follow the footsteps of the butcher.
“Damn it, even if you don’t teach that arrogant guy a lesson, you actually give him a reward!”
The helper with the mohawk hair spat on the ground and couldn’t breathe. , complained to the old man next to him:
"Does the boss think he can really kill the water ghost?"
The old man's face was like a dead tree, his eyebrows were drooped, and he said in a low voice:
"Looking at people is like making a bet, buy it and leave, the boss I think he is worth it. Even if he can escape from the water ghost, he is still worth these dozens of sea snake coins. In the worst case, he is just spending money to buy fun..."
At this time, the butcher gave the order. , came from the front.
"You two go to the watery tomb tonight to monitor his movements and urge him to fight the water ghost... If he is really capable, then summon me immediately!"
*
Night.
Black Reef Harbor at night is ten times more dangerous than during the day.
Smuggling, murder, stowaways, and the terrifying sea monsters that only appear at night form the gloomy background of the night in Black Reef Port. The icy cold wind blew the flag, and the sound of the wind was like the scream of a human-faced owl, as a single-masted sailboat sailed slowly into the secluded port.
The captain was suddenly stunned. He looked at the brightly lit shore and rubbed his eyes. He saw about dozens of people holding torches high, gathered around the one-way stone road leading to the water tomb.
"Why don't you go out drinking at night and come here to see water ghosts?" The captain expressed his confusion.
A sinister laugh came from the shore.
“The information is really ill-informed. Today someone revealed the reward for the water ghost in public. Everyone is here to see the show!”
The water ghost is the three major terrors of Black Reef Port. One of the legends is well-known among pirates. People disappear inexplicably every day in Black Reef Port, and the shadow of the water ghost is inevitable behind them.
The water ghosts dormant under the sea surface of the water tomb will stare at pedestrians who are transporting coffins or passing by the cemetery by chance. They will appear at incredibly fast speeds and drag them to the bottom of the sea to drown them.
Its existence was accidentally discovered by 'Flowing Water Sword' Gonzales and made public to the world. However, even Gonzales could only repel it but could not cure it. The name of the water ghost became even more frightening.
Watching executions is an indispensable part of the fun in Black Reef Port, and today someone took the initiative to find a water ghost to seek death.
In front of the Minato Cemetery, on the quiet alley, a crowd of people holding torches gathered, discussing and waiting for the rightful owner to appear.
The cold wind was howling and the sails were hunting. The young Mohawk man rubbed his arms and cursed:
"I said, the one named Loki is not afraid and dare not Are you coming?”
"It's possible that his original intention was to trick us." The old man acted very calmly. "I have met many mist believers. The reason why they act in a high-profile manner is to create a scam. It is very possible that we have all been tricked."
The old man's voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears, causing the place to fall into a strange silence.
Everyone looked strange, and only then did they react.
“Oops, you’re not really fooled, are you?”
“Let me tell you, how dare he say that he wants to kill the water ghost!”
"Damn the Mist Believer! Damn Loki!"
The crowd was excited. They realized that everyone was angry at being let go, and they were ready to find Loki and cut him into pieces.
At this time, from the end of the dim road, a tall figure wearing a silver-plated mask and an elegant gait walked slowly.
In front of the noisy cemetery, it fell into silence again. Everyone looked at Yeats with different expressions, some were suspicious, some were relieved, or some were waiting for a good show.
“Hey, so many people are greeting me.”
Under the mask, hearty laughter came out.
“It seems that I need to show you my skills today!”
The young Mohawk man held back his internal injuries and cursed the Mist believers in his heart. Thinking that you have been deceived, but in fact you have not been deceived, is this not a kind of deception!
“Do you want to go to the water tomb with me?”
Yeats raised his chin and said angrily:
"Get out of the way!"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally stood aside consciously, revealing a road leading to the Hong Kong Cemetery. Dark path.
“The water ghost is lurking under the water in the tomb area.” The old man raised his turbid eyes and said hoarsely, “You can’t make a sound in the tomb area. Once there are footsteps, it will follow the vibration to find you... "
Before he finished speaking, the old man's eyes widened, and he saw the man take out... a gong from his arms!
Bang!
The man beat the gong and swaggered into the tomb area, shouting:
"Is there anyone there? If there is someone, just scream!"
Everyone was stunned. Looking at the man's back, they immediately looked at each other.
“I thought he had prepared some special means... just to provoke the water ghost?”
"It seems that he is really not afraid of death!"
"Gonzalez can't kill the water ghost, but he can? Then he is more powerful than Gonzalez!"
port There are countless buoys floating on the cemetery in the district, and barrels and coffins containing dead bodies are hung below the buoys. The bodies of the poor are gathered together and tied to old anchors.
Ghastly and terrifying, this is the intuitive impression that everyone in Black Reef Port has on the water tomb. Only the buryers who are highly respected and familiar with the various taboos of the water tomb have the courage to step into the cemetery and shoulder the responsibility of the tomb. The important task of returning the body to the sea.
The corpse buryers under the butcher looked at Yeats who had trampled all the taboos, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"Stay away... lest you be dragged into the water by the water ghost!"
Cang Dang!
Yeats is still banging the gong.
The high-pitched and loud music was interspersed with the discordant sound of water flowing.
Yeats raised his eyebrows and looked out.
I saw a ghost floating on the water where the coffin was floating. It looked like a human figure standing on the water, but without legs. It exuded the smell of sea water and blood. A pair of deep eyes, glowing with blue light, stared at Yeats.
"Sink to the bottom of the sea...I will go home on your behalf..."
The monstrous shadows change unpredictably on the water, and the evil spirit rises into the sky, attracting the pirates waiting eagerly outside the tomb area Their faces were ugly.
“I can’t see anything clearly!”
“With him attracting firepower, we can get closer without any problem!”
"Better say goodbye, water ghosts are no joke!"
At this time, a burly figure came over, and the scar-faced butcher stepped into the water tomb without saying a word.
After half a day of investigation, ‘Blood Beast’ Londo has learned the identity of ‘Loki’.
Recently, a group of mist believers have poured into Black Reef Port, claiming that the dissipation of the mist is a miracle sent by the goddess of the mist, in an attempt to preach.
Preaching will definitely affect the interests of the local powerful people, and the same is true for Londo at the slaughterhouse. He immediately realized that this man named Loki could not be bribed by him, and his attitude towards him suddenly dropped. to freezing point.
Want to establish your authority through water ghosts? Could it be that they are cooperating with the Mist believers and using illusions to create momentum?
Londo sneered and quickly stepped into the tomb area. I will expose your trick in person!
The people behind seemed to have found the backbone, and followed Rondo into the tomb area.
The night was dark and the wind was howling. The water ghost floating on the sea saw the people holding torches high, and his eyes became colder.
"Drag you...all into the water!"
Rondo frowned and let out a sigh in his heart. Could it be that my inference was wrong?
This is not an illusion, but a real water ghost!
In an instant.
Yeats struck like lightning.
The jet black spear was suddenly thrown and penetrated the water ghost's chest!
This sudden change shocked everyone present.
The water ghost lowered his head and looked at the big hole left in his chest, with a hint of human shock on his face.
Making a prompt decision, the water ghost immediately dived into the water and tried to escape!
The corners of the scar-faced butcher’s mouth twitched, as if he had seen a ghost.
Poseidon is above, what do I see?
After only one round of meeting, the water ghost had already fled in a hurry!
The spear fell back into his hand, Yeats' figure flashed, followed the fleeing water ghost, and shot him from behind again!
The body of the water ghost became thinner, with a trace of relief and nostalgia on his face. He looked at Yeats and stretched out his hand tremblingly, like a drowning man trying to grab the rope of the boat.
"Go home..."
The water ghost disappeared into ashes.
In the darkness of the night, a broken parchment fell into Yeats' palm unnoticed.
Yeats's eyes lit up.
I can already see the Midnight, waving at me!
The Scar-faced Butcher swallowed hard.
No... kill him now? !
How come this man looks more like a horror legend than a water ghost!
