Mono watched as the Water Ghost submerged... then, bubbles rising from underwater began to spread and approach them relentlessly.
"Damn it..."
He just cursed under his breath and, without time for further thought, began to exert his strength...
Invisible ripples emanated from the water...
The small boat, which had been moving slowly and silently, began to speed forward...
Like a warship, the sound of waves breaking across the water's surface immediately rang out...
But the churning bubbles behind them weren't shaken off; on the contrary, they followed closely, not slowing down in the slightest...
The Water Ghost's movement speed underwater was quite startling...
Just as he was thinking that, rows of bubbles suddenly rose ahead as well...
"As expected, there are others..."
Mono's expression was not very good; he had hoped his guess was unnecessary, but clearly, the heavens were once again standing against him...
Beneath these wide waters, there were far more Water Ghosts wandering and searching than expected...
Just as he was thinking, a sharp warning sign suddenly rose in his heart...
Without time to hesitate, Mono hurriedly used his Ability to abruptly change direction again, charging toward the other side at a ninety-degree angle...
And the next moment after the wooden board left...
"Splash!" At the original position, a massive hand suddenly reached out.
The palm was a greenish-black color, and its sharp claws still glinted with a crimson cold light in the gloom. The withered hand was jointed section by section, like a giant iron pincer.
It looked like the hand of a Yaksha demon from hell, clutching ferociously in an attempt to seize any prey passing before it...
When the greenish-black palm burst out of the water and clenched tight, it even produced a dull explosive sound.
Mono glanced at it silently, then withdrew his gaze, continuing to watch the surrounding water surface closely...
If the wooden board they were on was caught by a Water Ghost, judging by the force that hand had just exerted, it would definitely capsize. He couldn't afford not to be careful...
However, as the loud commotion spread far and wide, the originally calm water surface became increasingly lively...
Bubbles began to pop up everywhere—front, back, left, and right—their path was being surrounded...
The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them...
Finally, at a certain moment...
Bang~
Ahead, water suddenly splashed everywhere, and a huge head abruptly emerged from the water...
Just like the Water Ghost hiding behind the sofa earlier, it had a bloodless face, bright red lips, huge white eyeballs, a large pointed nose like a clown's, pale greenish skin, and ghastly white teeth.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing this massive head suddenly leap out of the water, they would certainly be scared half to death by its man-eating appearance.
Mono cursed again. Did this Water Ghost want to block their path? But it wanted to stop him?
How could that be possible?
Mono had no intention of changing direction; he just turned and shouted to Six, who was still standing aside:
"Little Six, quick! Bricks! Throw them! Smash it as hard as you can! Kill it!"
Mono's impression of these posturing Water Ghosts was at an all-time low. It was one thing to be so ugly, but it was another to come out and scare people. Since they had already become Water Ghosts, couldn't they just stay at the bottom of the water and live out the rest of their afterlives in peace?
The Water Ghost that had popped up to block the way watched the incoming wooden board. When its eyes fell on the two small figures on top, a cruel and ferocious light flickered in its eyes...
This wasn't the first time it had hunted such target prey...
When the prey was grabbed by them, dragged, unable to flap about, only able to struggle until death, they would feel an inexplicable excitement...
This was the only interesting thing in their boring underwater ghostly lives...
But just as it was waiting for the wooden board "boat" to slide over...
"Whoosh!"
A black object, however, arrived first, flying straight toward its forehead exposed...
above the water's surface...
"Bang!"
The immense force even created a sonic boom in the air...
Six was very obedient to Mono now, and she was also very well-behaved. Since he said to smash it as hard as possible, she definitely used all her strength.
In other aspects, Six might have some shortcomings, but when it came to strength, she could absolutely crush 99.9% of the Little Person...
With one strike, the effect was immediate.
The Water Ghost's eyes rolled back from the impact, and then with a gurgle of bubbles, its head tilted as it sank into the water, its fate unknown...
"Little Six, beautiful job..." Mono's appreciative voice came... Who would have thought how much energy was hidden within such a small body? He had been optimistic about Six from the very beginning...
And in most cases, Little Six...
had always been very reliable...
Little Six had originally been somewhat nervous because of these monsters suddenly appearing in the water,
but hearing Mono's praise, a bit of lightheartedness rose in her heart...
...
She knew she shouldn't feel this way given the current situation, but she couldn't help it...
After all, it was praise from Mono...
After leaving the city, he had rarely complimented her...
This made her feel jubilant...
When someone is happy, it naturally means someone else is going to be unlucky...
"Plop!"
Another huge head suddenly poked out of the water...
This time, there was no need for Mono to remind her. Encouraged, Six let out a "whoosh" and threw the Brick in her arms with great force once again.
The sound of a sonic boom cut through the long dark shadow...
"Bang!"
An unlucky water ghost was hit in the head again and sank to the bottom of the water...
