Chapter 30
The little old man had his daughter-in-law cook a big table of food for Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji.
"Hmm, delicious, really delicious!"
"Lu Xiaoji, eat slowly, no one is going to grab it from you!"
Chen Hao didn't expect Lu Xiaoji's eating manners to be so ugly.
This guy was like a starving ghost reincarnated, his chopsticks never stopped.
His mouth was bulging as he swallowed big mouthfuls.
Before long, most of the food on the table had entered his stomach.
"Burp!"
He let out a satisfied burp, looking completely content.
"So comfortable!"
He patted his round, bulging belly.
"If only I could take a bath right now."
Seeing this, the little old man smiled and said: "We have a bathroom upstairs, if you don't mind, you can go up and wash."
"Don't mind, don't mind!"
Saying this, Lu Xiaoji walked upstairs.
At this moment, the little old man's daughter-in-law came out of the kitchen.
"Chicken soup is here!"
"Dad, where is that guest?"
Seeing Lu Xiaoji was gone, the little old man's daughter-in-law couldn't help but ask.
"He went upstairs to take a bath."
"What!"
Hearing this, the little old man's daughter-in-law was startled.
"Oh no!"
She ran upstairs in a hurry.
"Ah!"
A scream came.
Chen Hao immediately put down his chopsticks and also ran toward the second floor.
He saw Lu Xiaoji walking out of the bathroom, his right hand shaking continuously.
"There's... there's electricity!"
Lu Xiaoji said, trembling.
"I... I'm sorry, our water heater is broken and leaks electricity."
"We originally planned to have an electrician come to fix it today."
The little old man's daughter-in-law said apologetically.
"Leaks electricity?"
Chen Hao thought quickly.
Suddenly.
His eyes lit up.
"Got it."
"By the way, do you have any musical instruments like a flute here?"
"No flute, do you want a bamboo flute?"
"This is for our child."
"That works too."
"Then I'll go get it."
The little old man's daughter-in-law ran into the room quickly, took out a white flute, and handed it to Chen Hao.
"Chen Hao, what do you want a flute for?"
"The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
Chen Hao said mysteriously.
The next day.
After dawn, Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji pulled the electrical wires to the side of the pond.
Lu Xiaoji was extremely excited at this moment.
"Chen Hao, you're really awesome! To think of such a method."
"I got shocked yesterday, today let the water ghost feel good too."
While talking, the two arrived at the pond.
"Go!"
Lu Xiaoji threw the electrical wire in his hand into the pond.
Zzzzt!
The entire pond was instantly electrified.
A large number of fish floated up from the bottom of the pond to the surface.
They had been stunned by the electricity.
Before long, the water ghost also appeared.
It endured the pain and crawled from the pond to the shore.
Seeing this, Lu Xiaoji pointed a finger at the water ghost.
The water ghost let out another scream.
The wounds that had originally started to heal split open again.
The little old man watched from the side, feeling his own chrysanthemum tighten.
Pain!
It was really too painful!
That feeling of being forcibly stuffed with something thick.
Seeing the water ghost preparing to enter the pond.
Chen Hao took out the flute and started to play.
Chen Hao used the A-level ability [Hypnotic Melody].
Chen Hao hadn't learned the flute before, but this didn't affect his playing of [Hypnotic Melody].
With the help of the [Hypnotic Melody] ability, as long as Chen Hao played the melody, he could hypnotize the people around him.
"Chen Hao, what the hell are you playing? It's so ugly, it makes me want to pee..."
Before Lu Xiaoji could finish the word "pee", his head spun, and he fell asleep directly.
Chen Hao looked at Lu Xiaoji, then turned his gaze to the water ghost.
At this moment, the water ghost also fell asleep.
Its eyebrows twitched slightly.
It could be seen that Lu Xiaoji's [Chrysanthemum Finger] had caused it huge damage.
Even though it was now in a coma, its eyebrows were still twitching continuously.
Chen Hao took out a rope he had prepared and made a noose.
He threw it fiercely at the water ghost.
It directly looped around the water ghost's neck, and then he pulled with force.
Dragging the water ghost ashore.
To prevent the water ghost from escaping back into the pond again.
Chen Hao dragged it a bit further away from the pond.
The water ghost was dragged ashore.
Dragged all the way.
The pain from the friction between its body and the ground made it wake up.
It began to struggle violently, attempting to break free from Chen Hao's rope.
But once ashore, it became a weakling with no strength at all.
Wanting to break free was almost impossible.
"Phoenix Roar!"
Chen Hao directly used his ultimate move.
"Chirp!"
A fiery red phoenix appeared out of thin air.
It opened its big mouth.
Whoosh!
A scorching flame sprayed out, directly enveloping the water ghost.
The water ghost let out painful wails as it was burned.
The flames faded.
Looking at the water ghost, which was burned pitch black and screaming continuously.
Chen Hao formed his right hand into a blade and swung it fiercely.
Flame Gale Cut!
Whoosh!
The sharp fire blade broke through the air.
Snap!
It directly cut off the water ghost's head.
Rolling!
The water ghost's head rolled a distance on the ground like a ball.
Hiss hiss hiss!
A large amount of blood gushed out from the cut on its neck.
"Hmm? What the hell? Is it raining?"
Lu Xiaoji woke up from his sleep.
He subconsciously wiped his face.
"Holy crap, it's blood!"
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
His luck was a bit bad, and he accidentally swallowed some.
"No, I need to go wash up."
"Whoosh!"
A rope flew over and looped around Lu Xiaoji.
"Chen Hao, what are you doing?"
"Lu Xiaoji, do you want to die!"
"There's still electricity in that pond."
"Oh, oh, oh!"
Lu Xiaoji finally realized.
Chen Hao condensed a fireball in each hand and threw them at the water ghost's body and head.
Boom!
The fireballs landed on the water ghost, setting its corpse on fire.
Before long, the water ghost was burned to ashes.
"Ding dong!"
"Congratulations to the host, corpse collection successful!"
"Obtained S-level ability - [Water Ghost Power]!"
Chen Hao: Hmm???
"System, what's the situation? Why does killing a water ghost also count?"
"Water ghosts are formed by the resentment of people who drowned; they gather in the corpse and harm anyone who approaches the pond."
Hearing this, Chen Hao suddenly realized.
He looked at the ability he had just obtained.
[Water Ghost Power], S-level ability: Can only be used in water, can be immune to water-attribute attacks, and when in water, strength will be greatly increased, approximately by five times.
"In the water, I can increase my strength by five times!!!"
"The only pity is that this thing has a drawback."
"It can only be used in water."
"If I go and get an ability that allows underwater breathing later, wouldn't I directly transform into the Pirate King?"
"Damn, this water is so dirty, how am I supposed to wash?"
Just as Chen Hao was thinking, Lu Xiaoji's cursing voice came from not far away.
Lu Xiaoji pulled the electrical wire out of the pond, preparing to wash his face.
As a result, the pond was full of the water ghost's blood.
Seeing this, Chen Hao said: "If you can't wash, then don't wash."
"How can that be? If I don't wash, won't my handsome face be ruined?"
"Why not go to my house to wash."
The little old man's house had tap water.
But he rarely used it, usually using the water from this pond.
Because tap water costs money.
Now the water in the pond was polluted, and it would take some time to purify it.
So for these days, the villagers could only use tap water.
Chen Hao and the others followed the little old man to his house.
After Lu Xiaoji washed his face, he brushed his hair back.
"Ah, washing my face feels much more comfortable."
"My handsome face is back."
Lu Xiaoji said very conceitedly.
"Alright, stop showing off, the mission is done, let's go back."
"Okay."
Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji prepared to leave.
Just as they reached the door, they found the villagers gathered at the entrance.
"What is this?"
"We heard you helped us solve the water ghost, so we came specifically to thank you."
"These are eggs laid by our old hen, if you don't mind, take them back to eat."
"Don't mind, don't mind, what I like to eat most is farm eggs."
Before Chen Hao could say anything, Lu Xiaoji directly accepted the farm eggs.
"I have loofah here!"
"I have sweet potatoes here!"
"I have..."
A while later.
Chen Hao and Lu Xiaoji were sitting on a tricycle.
The cart was filled to the brim with things.
