Regarding Gao Chao, what can Lufeng say? He smiled and shook his head, "Alright, everyone stop arguing. The mystery of Songshan Strange Events will soon be revealed. The culprit behind the Water Ghosts causing trouble is Yanshi Mai Youren. Let's first complete Su Fei's mission and draw him out."
Qin Shou pondered for a moment and suggested, "Boss, one of Su Fei's three missions involves a big boss, which is tough. How about we tackle Ma Han's mission first?"
"Whatever, let's go to Su Di first. It's just five Water Ghost Scouts; it won't take long. Go go!" Lufeng casually replied.
Along the way, Lufeng spoke little, while Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing chatted non-stop. Gao Chao and the others became eavesdroppers, naturally infatuated with the two goddess-level beauties, as if they could gain unexpected rewards from them.
Throughout the mission, Murong Xiaoxiao maintained a supportive role. The inherent advantage of women is that they are protected, but when everyone needs 'healing,' Murong Xiaoxiao might not be so carefree.
Tiger Run Village is surrounded by small hills with only one exit. Lufeng and the others emerged from between the hills and crossed a small grove before quickly arriving at Su Di.
At a glance, countless Water Ghosts wielding cleavers wandered around, their blades sharp and glinting ominously—definitely not ordinary foes.
The Water Ghosts were much shorter than Lufeng and his companions, resembling little dwarfs as they hunched over with cleavers in hand, swinging them wildly without awareness.
The Water Ghosts were bald, barefoot, and wore only shorts. Upon seeing Lufeng and the others, they immediately began to slash wildly.
Gao Chao shouted angrily, "Damn it! This is a bunch of crazy idiots! They say barefoot people aren't afraid of those in shoes. Boss, unless we go barefoot to fight them, we have no advantage!"
"Just Sister Ni!" Lufeng laughed and scolded back, fully aware that Gao Chao was joking.
Seeing the Water Ghosts recklessly attacking people, Lufeng genuinely feared for Murong Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiaojing's safety. If they got injured and disfigured, it would only be restored by the System the next day unless treated with special medicine—an unbearable situation for a whole day.
Given the aggressive stance of the Water Ghosts, Lufeng and his companions quickly retreated to the rocky area to distance themselves from the Water Ghosts' wrath.
After being scared off by the Water Ghosts, Qin Shou felt lingering fear: "They say those who are strong fear those who are ruthless; those who are ruthless fear those who are reckless. These Water Ghosts embody both—they're not only ruthless but also reckless. It seems that no matter how strong we are, it's futile."
"Exactly! Who would argue otherwise? I've heard of people wielding kitchen knives, but this is my first time seeing someone with a cleaver. This cleaver is even more formidable than a kitchen knife; it could probably fell a tree with one swing," Gao Chao chimed in.
Listening to their nonsensical chatter, Wang Xiaojing finally erupted in frustration and shouted, "You two shut up!"
Gao Chao and Qin Shou quickly covered their ears, trembling with fear, silently shouting in their hearts: This is even more lethal.
When faced with the problem, these hostages had no idea how to solve it and were joking with each other. Lufeng could only remain speechless, thinking about a strategy.
After a long while, Lufeng, feeling confident, smiled and said, "It's just five Water Ghosts, right? We'll take them out and leave."
"How do we kill them?" Qin Shou asked.
Lufeng paced back and forth, analyzing, "First, we need to eliminate our inner fear; otherwise, we won't be able to perform normally. Second, we must stay calm and correctly analyze the attacks of these Water Ghosts. Finally, we need to be bold. In summary, we must charge forward fearlessly! We should uphold Mao Zedong's thoughts, *** theory, and the party's three major policies..."
"Stop!" Wang Xiaojing quickly interrupted. "What nonsense is this? If you can't even handle five Water Ghosts, do you deserve to be called men? Hurry up; you have five minutes."
Lufeng smiled faintly; that was exactly what he wanted to hear from Wang Xiaojing.
Sure enough, after hearing Wang Xiaojing's words, Gao Chao was energized as if injected with adrenaline: "Boss, it's just five Water Ghosts with pig-killing knives. My long sword is much better than theirs; let's go all out!"
"Right, let's go all out! What are we afraid of?" Qin Shou quickly echoed.
Qiu Han slightly shook his head: "Not afraid but still cautious; let's go!"
After saying that, Qiu Han directly became invisible and sneaked toward the Water Ghosts. In the midst of the five Water Ghosts, he shouted loudly: "Eagle Strike in the Sky!"
With Qiu Han's intent and the added effect of blue ice attack, countless ice spikes shot toward the Water Ghosts.
"-1200"
"-1305"
...
All five targets hit, the ice blocks fell onto the Water Ghosts, taking away a small portion of their health. As the skill effect ended, the ice blocks disappeared into the air.
With a successful strike, five Water Ghosts' aggro was drawn. Qiu Han quickly ran over to Gao Chao, shouting as he ran, "Group!"
With Water Ghosts in front and Wang Xiaojing watching from behind, Gao Chao found himself in a dilemma. It was impossible to gain without effort, so he could only push Qin Shou, saying, "Let's go together!"
"Vajra Demon-Subduing Circle!" Qin Shou demonstrated with action. The Shaolin area attack caused the five Water Ghosts to lose another small portion of their health.
"-800"
"-705"
...
Poor Qin Shou dealt low damage; it was evident that Shaolin had high health but low attack power and defense.
"I can't take it! This Shaolin is really too weak; the attack is way too low!" Qin Shou complained.
Meanwhile, Gao Chao hesitated as he watched the Water Ghosts wielding their butcher knives, unsure whether to engage.
Wang Xiaojing quickly scolded him, "Gao Chao, do you even deserve to play Ming Jiao? Ming Jiao is a man of fire; you look more like a woman, scared stiff by a butcher knife!"
Gao Chao gritted his teeth, "Don't force me to act! I've been afraid of butcher knives since I was little! One cut and I'm done for!"
"Such a coward! With that attitude, you shouldn't be playing Ming Jiao; you'd be better off as a healer so you can avoid the battlefield like Xiaoxiao," Wang Xiaojing mocked.
Seeing Gao Chao's state, Lufeng quickly kicked him, saying, "Get over there; the Water Ghosts are about to counterattack."
"Ah!" Gao Chao stumbled forward towards the Water Ghosts and in a moment of panic shouted, "Blood Battle in All Directions!"
Ming Jiao launched a group attack, and Gao Chao was possessed by the skill effect. He swung his large knife, cutting down towards the water ghosts with flames.
“-1500”
“-1651”
……
“Damn, that’s double my attack! Ming Jiao’s physical damage is indeed impressive! Truly the top sect for physical attackers,” Qin Shou said with his mouth agape, feeling frustrated.
After three group attack skills, the water ghosts were in a state of low health and began their counterattack. Gao Chao and the others quickly defended with their knives, but they still took some damage from the chaotic attacks of the water ghosts, losing a bit of health.
Gao Chao was furious and stopped holding back. Together with Qin Shou and Qiu Han, they unleashed another round of single-target skills, swiftly eliminating two water ghosts.
Seeing the right moment, Lufeng made his move. He shifted his feet and activated his self-created skill—【Phantom Form】. His movement and critical hit rate significantly increased as he wielded his small fan, wiping out the remaining three low-health water ghosts.
“Cool!” Watching Lufeng’s graceful movements, Wang Xiaojing was somewhat mesmerized.
As soon as the water ghosts were defeated, they respawned shortly after, leading to another chaotic flurry of attacks.
Lufeng quickly shouted, “Retreat!”
