Devil Cry stuck the long knife on the deck, and then jumped up, pulling out the short knife in mid-air, like a leaping carp, and jumped into the water with a "poof", splashing and rippling on the water.

In the water, Ghost Cry waved his hands and feet and rushed over.

It was inconvenient to close the knife in the water, so the water spider threw away the knife and pulled out the sharp knife.

The two became entangled and stabbed each other with short knives.

Devil Cry takes the lead, and the water spider stabs first.

Then, the knives of the two collided with each other, and every time Devil Cried, the water spider's knife was accurately intercepted, but the water spider was more watery and never let Ghost Crieve approach. After fighting more than ten times, the water spider spat out bubbles in its mouth and swam to it.

Devil Cry entangled, not letting the water spider swim upstream. As soon as he swam up with the spider, he went to cut off the feet of the water spider.

The water spider was helpless, and fought with the ghost cry five more times, and then his eyes were bloodshot, his muscles were bruised, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blisters, and went upstream again. Then there was a pain in the right leg and he was slashed. He had no choice but to turn around and fight with the ghost cry.

The water spider is a human first, and then a demon, and the identity of the demon further strengthens his physical fitness, and at the same time, it also gives him all kinds of strange abilities. He can use demonic energy to influence the opponent, blinding the opponent in a short period of time, and can also raise fog on the surface of the water, but he still can't get rid of some people's weaknesses, such as drowning.

Unlike Ghost Cry, he was half alive and half dead when he became a demon. After becoming a demon, he is half human and half corpse, although he is still human on the outside, but he is completely different on the inside. He can live like a human being, but he can also think like a corpse, he has some human weaknesses, but he also gets rid of some weaknesses.

And one of those weaknesses to get rid of, is drowning.

In the water, if you are not careful, the ghost cry will still choke on the water, but it will not drown, if you are not afraid of being soaked and swollen, he can stay in the water for as long as he wants.

But there is also a problem, Devil Cry is not a complete corpse demon after all, he can't breathe in the water, he won't die, but he can't lift his strength.

But compared to drowning water spiders, the advantage is not too big.

The water spider began to look in a trance, and he went upstream again, but was dragged down by Ghost Cry. In a trance, he fought with Ghost Cry five times, and then was stabbed four times, and the water continued to flush.

On the boat, Cai Wei looked at the calm water, and tugged at the autumn water sword joints that turned white.

Then, after waiting for a while, she began to show obvious anxiety.

When the water flushed, her heart was pinched.

She felt like she had been waiting for a long, long time, when suddenly the water exploded, and the splashed droplets shook her face. As soon as she stepped back, she felt the hull of the boat shake violently, and Xu Bowen was so frightened that he screamed again.

Cai Wei looked at it, and then realized that Ghost Cry had already boarded the boat. He was carrying a water spider in his hand, but at this moment the water spider had become a corpse.

The vitality of the water spider is extremely tenacious, and in the water, the demonic energy attached to the knife is diluted by the water. Therefore, the water spider was not stabbed to death by the knife of the devil's cry, he was drowned.

Devil Cry took the corpse onto the boat, and in any case, the corpse was worth 15 taels.

Finally, the boat came to shore. The three of them hurried ashore and rushed to the Xujia Baohe Hall, where they made a detour and entered through the back door.

"You rebel!" Xu Shilin rushed up and slapped Xu Bowen to the ground. Mrs. Xu hurriedly rushed out and blocked Xu Shilin.

A woman helped Xu Bowen up, she was Xu Wu, the young lady of the Xu family. Xu Bowen covered his face, tears in his eyes, and a look of grievance. Xu Wu helped Xu Bowen and walked inside, looking very skilled in business.

When Xu Bowen disappeared from view, Xu Shilin snorted coldly, the anger in his heart rested for a while, and he bowed his hand to the ghost cry and Cai Wei: "It's rude, thank you for saving me this time." ”

The ghost cried and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a duty to collect money from people and do things for people." ”

Xu Shilin sighed: "The old man's rebellious son, he can't be a martial artist, alas...... Don't talk about that, ghost brother, the person in your hand ......"

Ghost Cry casually threw the corpse of the water spider to the ground: "Yun Mengze thief water spider, worth 15 taels." ”

When Xu Shilin heard this, he thought for a while and said: "This old man has heard about it, it is better for the ghost brother to hand over the body to the old man, this person has been doing evil in Yunmengze for many years, and the bounty is definitely more than this, the old man will definitely get ten times the bounty for the ghost brother." ”

The ghost cried and shook his head: "Although the bounty of the Heavenly Master's Mansion is small, they have a lot of good things in stock, and the first time they can exchange the bounty for those treasures, it is a rare opportunity." ”

"In that case...... Xu Shilin pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if there is no corpse, I can still ask for some bounty, the old man will fight for more for the ghost brother, and I hope I don't shirk." ”

Xu Shilin wanted to help, and the ghost cried no longer shirked, and arched his hand: "Okay! ”

"Call me uncle. Xu Shilin said with a smile.

"By the way, I'm afraid this mission will disturb for a few more days. ”

"What's not to bother. Xu Shilin waved his hand and said, "I'll ask the ghost brother for the next few days." ”

The Xu family arranged for Ghost Cry and Cai Wei to go to a side courtyard, and some bamboo was planted in the side courtyard, which looked very quiet. I'm also satisfied with the environment here. As for the big black horse, it was at home, and when he was hungry, he would find something to eat, and the meat would hang on the beams of the house, and it could pick it off by itself.

The day was quite peaceful, but there were more ill-intentioned people around. Gradually, it came to night. The door of the Bohol Hall was closed, and a servant came, asking Ghost Cry and Cai Wei to go to the hall.

In the hall, Xu Shilin set up a table to entertain the guests, and this time the people who came, not only the ghost cried, but also a Nangong woman with a face that was always as cold as ice, the taciturn old iron and three strangers.

The old lady Xu Xian did not attend, some time ago, his body and bones were not bad, but he was seriously ill recently, and he is still in bed. Xu Bowen was not here, he was locked up in a small black room by Xu Shilin, and he couldn't come out for a while.

During the banquet, Xu Shilin stood up and toasted: "During this time, please leave it to everyone." ”

After the banquet, everyone left the room, and the servants cleaned up the mess. In the first half of the night, Ghost Cry and Nangong Woman kept vigil, and the two of them patrolled separately, and then sat down on the roof of the main hall.

But it was really boring to sit dry, so the ghost cried and took out the peanuts and asked Nangong Woman: "Nangong girl, do you want it?"

Nangong Nuxia's face was frosty, she was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't have the surname Nangong." ”

The ghost cried with a confused face, and Nangong Nuxia explained: "My surname is Zhao, and I am from Nangong. ”

Nangong is a gang formed by a woman in Jiangnan. Later, because the palace master was disbanded because of his marriage, and this woman surnamed Zhao was one of the most famous people in Nangong, so even if Nangong was dissolved, she was still called Nangong Woman.

The ghost cry was a little embarrassed, looking at the cold face of this Nangong woman, he felt that the weather was a little cold. He digressed the subject: "Actually, if you smile, it will be beautiful." ”

"I know. Nangong Nuxia was as cold as ice, she paused for a moment, and waited until the atmosphere was colder before she said slowly: "But I made a mistake in my practice, and I couldn't make other expressions." ”

The ghost cry was even more embarrassing, and he seemed to have accidentally stabbed this Nangong woman in the heart again. The smile on his face couldn't be maintained, so he had to hand over the bag of peanuts in his hand: "Eat peanuts." ”

Nangong Nuxia was not polite, picked up a peanut and stuffed one into her mouth, and bit it "click". Looking at her cold face, the ghost felt that she was really not suitable for eating peanuts, and she was a bit broken.

"Is there any wine?" asked Nangong Woman.

Ghost Cry handed her the flask, and the ghost said, "I have wine, do you have a story?"

Nangong Nuxia looked at him deeply, took a sip of wine, and said, "You want to know my story?"

Ghost Cry hesitated for a moment and nodded, he was really a little curious about this Nangong woman who had a few faces.
