Chapter 143: Water Ghosts (4)

Splash! Splash!

While Huo Yingsu and the others were facing the crisis of dying because of these water ghosts, Han Yichen’s condition was not much better.

To be honest, Han Yichen’s strong Yang’s energy made these water ghosts tried to avoid him as much as possible. Because they knew that they were not his match and didn’t dare to provoke him directly.

But how could Han Yichen follow through their wishes?

Splash!

He directly channeled the Yang energy into the paddle that he used and smacked it towards the nearest water ghosts.

"Ahhhhh!"

What followed was a shrill scream as the water ghosts fell into the water once more, not getting up in the slightest bit or possibly blend into the water around it.

But this wouldn’t do.

Even if Han Yichen managed to defeat one water ghosts, there were countless other water ghosts coming out to confront them.

This made Han Yichen speechless.

Does the Live Stream Horror Survival Game really not want them to complete the task?

It felt as if they were being sent to their death instead of being asked to ’play’ and complete the mission...

Even though the Live Stream Horror Survival Game indeed had high death rate, but logically speaking, there should be a way out for them to survive. Because their goal when participating in this game was for the sake of survival.

They might be tortured on their way of completing their tasks, but amidst their suffering, they should be able to come out as the winner!

Splash!

Han Yichen looked at the water ghosts that came towards him and he looked at the banyan tree that Duan Wang mentioned.

They were near.

Is it because they were near the source of the ancient coins that these water ghosts become crazy and started attacking them like this?

He looked at the water.

Should he go down?

"Duan Wang, you and your best friend dived into the water when looking for the ancient coins, right?" Yu Zhihao noticed Han Yichen’s gaze and quickly shouted while kicking Duan Wang in front of him.

Duan Wang, whose head had just hit the boat, almost vomited blood because of the kick. He wanted to yell and scream but when he raised his head, a water ghosts passed by and he nearly fainted in shock.

Splash!

Ye Lin, who was nearby, directly threw one of the ’wooden board’ in his hand towards the water ghosts, preventing it from reaching Yu Zhihao and Duan Wang.

"Thanks!"

"It’s nothing, but you should stay further away! There are too many damn water ghosts here!" Ye Lin yelled in annoyance.

Since his path was that of balance, he had to ensure that the Yin and Yang energy in his body remained stable.

The problem is...

These water ghosts emitted terrifying Yin energy when they attacked them and Ye Lin had to channel the Yang energy into his ’weapon’ from time to time in order to connect his attack with the water ghosts.

In normal situation, Ye Lin would be fine as long as he didn’t use too much of the Yang energy.

Otherwise, he would fall into weakness because of the imbalance of the Yin and Yang’s energy in his body.

Even now...

Ye Lin felt his body turned cold and he knew that he wouldn’t be able to last fighting for long.

Han Yichen better solved this damn Live Stream Horror Survival Game’s dungeon puzzle game or whatever the name as soon as possible.

"Answer me!" Yu Zhihao kicked Duan Wang once again, pulling him back from his shock from having the water ghosts near him and then got kicked away.

"Yes, yes, yes! I and Fang Jian dived into the water and looked for those coins. But we didn’t manage to find more than a few pieces. After that, I managed to go out on my own but I can’t find Fang Jian!" Duan Wang screamed loudly.

"Are you not spouting nonsense again?" Yu Zhihao arched his eyebrows.

"Ahhh! Noo, let me goo," Duan Wang was crying water buckets as he rolled around on the small boat.

The poor boat truly endured too much.

From the onslaught of the water ghosts from outside to the turmoil of Duan Wang inside the boat, it was almost overturned several times.

Huo Yingsu, who felt a bit dizzy, smacked Duan Wang with the wooden board on her hand.

She can’t hit the water ghosts, but can’t she hit humans?

Hmph!

Bang!

"Oucchhh!" Duan Wang saw Huo Yingsu’s terrifying glare and he chickened out.

"Tell us what happened before!" Huo Yingsu sneered and a knife appeared on her hand. "Otherwise, I don’t mind using your blood as sacrifice for these water ghosts."

She was already approaching her patience limit.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game would never make things easy for them, and Huo Yingsu was already mentally prepared.

But she didn’t want to stay in this chaos any longer.

So they better figured out how to solve this damn puzzle dungeon game as soon as possible.

Duan Wang trembled and he quickly shouted, "I don’t know! I don’t know! There’s a sudden storm when I got back to my boat and then the water suddenly raised. The boat was overturned to the shore and I can’t find Fang Jian anymore. Some villagers tried to help and look for him, but none of the villagers ever return."

None of the villagers ever returned?

Hearing this sentence, they all looked at the water ghosts nearby.

"..Is it possible that these water ghosts are the villagers who fell into the water?" Huo Yingsu asked with a hint of doubt on her voice.

She knew that the Live Stream Horror Survival Game would not designate Duan Wang as the important NPC without any reasons. And the only thing that she could think of right now was these water ghosts.

What if...

What if there were not so many water ghosts in the beginning but only a few of them?

And after the villagers died, their number increased exponentially.
