Demon Hunter: I have a red gourd

Chapter 3 The murderer was a water ghost, what does it have to do with me?
The rumor that the turtle-shaped stone can restrain witchers, making them lose all their strength and become at the mercy of others has spread far and wide in the wizarding world.

Its authenticity is probably on par with the fact that garlic can restrain high-level vampires and that water nymphs particularly favor hardworking farmers and shoemakers.

In fact, garlic does not cause any harm to higher vampires. It’s just that some higher vampires don’t like the taste of garlic and will not suck the blood of people who have eaten garlic, just like some humans don’t eat coriander.

The water fairies would not look upon the hard-working farmer shoemaker differently. They were like Pokémon of a special gender that could only give birth to female offspring.

In order to reproduce, they can only look for male creatures of other races, including humans, which is why many beautiful legends of love between the two races were born.

However, they only like handsome males who meet their aesthetic standards, and of course they don't care about their status or morals.

Likewise, the Turtle-Shaped Stone has no effect on Witchers other than making them laugh.

It seems that I have to take action today. Looking at the group of aggressive and approaching people, Ivan reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword behind him.

"Do you know why witchers carry two swords?" Ivan smiled, without a trace of panic in his heart.

Just as he was about to draw his steel sword to fight, a new idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

Why not take this opportunity to test out your newly acquired abilities?

So, when Huangmao led everyone to surround Ivan, a slight sound was heard, and then a white mist suddenly appeared and suddenly enveloped his body.

When the smoke cleared, Ivan was gone, replaced by a terrifying monster.

The monster looked very human, emitting a foul odor. Its skin was a bluish-green color, oozing mucus and mud. Its eyes, swollen from being submerged in water for too long, were an unnatural white, hollow and lifeless, a terrifying sight.

The "weapons" in the hands of the crowd suddenly froze. They were so frightened by the strange scene before them that they dared not move.

The air was filled with an invisible sense of oppression. For a moment, everyone's breathing became extremely heavy.

Just as this dead silence enveloped the surroundings, someone suddenly shouted heartbreakingly: "Monster!"

This cry seemed to have triggered some kind of signal, and fear erupted in an instant. Everyone lost the courage to attack and fled in panic.

Some people even dropped their "weapons" and ran away like crazy, praying in their hearts that the monster would go find their companions instead of themselves.

The yellow-haired leader staggered, his face turned pale, and he made a hoarse murmur in his throat, but could not utter a word.

At this time, the water ghost in the center turned its purple face towards him, and a strange human-like smile appeared on its face.

Huangmao's heart seemed to be gripped, his body trembled involuntarily, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Ivan stretched his neck and moved, transforming into a water ghost.

The monster's speed far exceeds that of humans, and the water ghost's sharp claws mean that he no longer needs to use any weapons.

Each leap was accompanied by a shrill scream. Those fleeing had no time to react before their throats were torn apart by the water ghost's sharp claws.

Occasionally, someone regained their sanity and swung their hoes and pitchforks vigorously in an attempt to launch a counterattack, only to find that their attacks were easily blocked by a layer of pale yellow circular light curtain. Then, they collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up again.

The killing happened quickly.

Soon, all the people who had just tried to attack Ivan were lying on the ground, sleeping peacefully.

It's really ridiculous. When facing the witcher, they dared to pick up the farm tools in their hands as weapons, but when they saw the monsters being slaughtered like chickens and ducks by the witcher, they were so scared that they couldn't even hold the farm tools in their hands.

White smoke rose, the duration of the water ghost incarnation ended, and Ivan's figure reappeared.

After checking his body and finding nothing unusual, Ivan finally felt relieved. After testing, it turned out that the ability of this incarnation was simply outrageous.

When transforming, the equipment on the body not only does not fall off, but is stored in a different space. After transforming, you can perfectly inherit the various abilities of the monster and even release the magic seal of the demon hunter!

This is really too absurd. The Quen Seal and the Water Ghost, two things with completely different styles, appeared together strangely.

Ivan drew his steel sword and walked towards the yellow-haired man, the only one still alive in the field.

The man who was just showing off his power was now lying on the ground with his face buried in the soil. His body was shaking constantly, as if the horrible monster would disappear as long as he couldn't see it.

Ivan kicked him and turned him over to face him.

"You...you are really a monster!" Seeing Ivan's face, the yellow-haired man stuttered.

Then, he seemed to have figured something out, and with strength coming from nowhere, he suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Master, please spare my life! All of this was instructed by the elders and has nothing to do with me!"

"Please let me go, I will never tell your secret to anyone!"

"I'm really curious." Ivan put the steel sword against his neck. "I've killed so many water ghosts and helped you expand your fishing grounds. Your life should be better now."

"But why are you trying to take back even this small reward? Are you really that greedy?"

"What do you mean by expanding the fishing grounds? I don't know." The yellow-haired man raised his head, his eyes revealing clear stupidity.

"I only know that since you came, each of us has had more work to do, whether it's mending fishing nets or making fishing gear. Every day is more tiring than before, and we haven't gained any benefits at all!"

"I see." Ivan understood. So all the benefits were taken away by the old elder, right?
"Then let me tell you the truth." Ivan moved the sword away.

"I killed the water ghosts that occupied the fishing grounds, giving you a larger fishing ground and more fish every day. That's why the elders asked you to make more fishing gear."

"Originally, each of you should have received more gold coins and lived a better life. However, your elders chose to pocket all the profits. In other words, there is something wrong with your village's distribution system."

The yellow-haired man stared at Ivan with his eyes wide open, apparently understanding the root of the problem after his explanation.

"Master, thank you. Now I understand everything! In that case, please let me go and go find the elder. He is your real enemy!"

"I'm glad you understand." Ivan patted the yellow-haired man's shoulder, as if to comfort him.

"But I'm explaining this to you not to make you let go of your resentment towards me, nor to seek your forgiveness."

He turned around suddenly, and the steel sword swung a bright semicircle in the air!

"It's simply so that you can die with a clear mind."

Blood rises into the sky!

Ivan looked up at the house where the elders lived.

"Don't worry, I will help you get revenge. You are not alone on the road to the underworld."

"But please don't let yourself become haunted by resentment and turn into a demon. If that happens, I'll have to kill you again."
