Qi Wu laughed.

Since we can actually touch it, what's there to be afraid of?

He kicked his legs twice, and like a cannonball, he rushed straight towards the direction where the water ghost had been thrown.

As he got closer, he finally saw what the water ghost looked like.

This is a drowned body; it looks like a woman in her twenties or thirties.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, both modern clothes, not some kind of ancient costume.

It seems that this water ghost was someone who had originally drowned in this river, and it's possible that the red moon transformed into a water ghost?

After all, following the Red Moon, extraordinary events occurred frequently, and it's perfectly logical that people who drowned in the river became water ghosts.

It doesn't matter.

No matter who she was in life, once she meets me, she'll become a ghost.

At this moment, Qi Wu had already swum to her side.

The water ghost, having just been punched and sent flying, was still swaying and spinning in the water before it could regain its footing.

The two black holes faced Qi Wu, and a string of bubbles rose from their mouths, gurgling upwards.

If she had an expression, she'd probably be confused.

After all, he was sent flying with a single punch as soon as he appeared; this doesn't seem like part of the script.

But Qi Wu didn't give her any chance to react; his fist, the size of a sandbag, had already slammed down on her.

"Bang!!!"

One punch landed squarely on the face, smashing the water ghost's face to pieces.

My nose is gone, my cheekbones are broken, my chin is crooked, and my whole face is sunken in.

Just as Qi Wu was about to throw his second punch, he sensed that the surrounding river water had changed.

The river water seemed to come alive, constantly squeezing his body from all sides, as if an invisible giant hand was trying to crush him.

Qi Wu also felt a heavy resistance on his arm, firmly blocking his punch from falling.

He knew what it was.

The water ghost's ability to control water.

She is manipulating the river to restrict herself.

Even if you have the ability to drown, which gives you a boost underwater, that boost is not enough against a river controlled by a water ghost.

The entire river seemed to be working against him.

But the next second, Qi Wu still threw a second punch.

"Bang!!!"

This punch slammed the water ghost's head directly into the silt at the bottom of the river.

The silt exploded, and the riverbed immediately became murky.

A crisp sound came from between the water ghost's head and neck, and it snapped off completely.

The head and neck separated.

Why can Qi Wu still throw punches?

the reason is simple.

Even though the water ghost manipulated the river to block Qi Wu's punch, the resistance was too weak.

For Qi Wu, it was at most like he was punching with a sandbag strapped to his arm.

The punches were a bit slow, but they didn't stop.

Want to stop them? It's simply impossible.

It's like an ant trying to stop an elephant. The ant is indeed trying hard, but the elephant doesn't care at all.

This is the joy of being a number fanatic.

When your stats reach a certain level, all techniques become just fancy tricks.

You do your thing, I'll do mine.

The sheer force of the bricks is that simple and brutal.

Qi Wu withdrew his fist and watched as the headless corpse of the water ghost slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

At the same time, three lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Ability 2: Great Strength (Unlocked)]

[Effect: Doubles strength in water]

[Unlock condition: Defeat an enemy in the water]

Sure enough, it was unlocked by Dali.

Qi Wu could feel a continuous flow of power surging into his body from the surrounding water, with every drop of water giving him a buff.

He tried clenching his fist, and the strength had indeed doubled.

Even though my current strength is far from comparable to the level after unlocking super power, it should not be underestimated.

Qi Wu suppressed his excitement and looked at the unlocking conditions for the next ability.

[Ability 3: Transformation (Not yet unlocked)]

[Effect: Can change appearance]

[Unlock condition: Disguise yourself as someone else, contact their friends, and do not reveal any flaws]

Qi Wu frowned slightly after reading it.

Disguised as someone else?

It's not difficult.

Once you put on a realistic silicone mask, the level of realism is quite high.

The high-end custom-made silicone masks on the market nowadays can even replicate pores, making them almost indistinguishable from real ones to the naked eye.

But you still need to contact the other party's friends so that they don't notice anything amiss.

There is something here.

It's easy to pretend, but hard to fool someone you know.

People who know each other too well can easily give themselves away with a habitual little gesture, a catchphrase, or even the way they walk.

and……

Qi Wu looked down at his bare upper body.

He was 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his muscles were clearly defined, as if they had been carved with a knife.

That figure is absolutely perfect.

But if you use it to impersonate someone else, that's the biggest flaw.

Unless the person being impersonated is also a fit hunk, the deception will be immediately obvious.

However, Qi Wu suddenly had an idea.

The condition is that the flaws should not be noticed.

What if the other party's friends are already unlikely to notice the flaws?

For example, getting drunk.

Drink to the point where you can't even stand up straight and everyone is double-eyed.

If you run up to him and say you're his brother, he'll most likely hug you tightly around the neck and treat you like a long-lost brother.

For example, being so tired that you can't keep your eyes open.

After staying up all night for several nights, your eyes are practically glued shut. If you pretend to be someone else, he probably won't even recognize you.

Qi Wu thought this approach was feasible.

And this doesn't require any silicone mask at all. Just find a night when your roommate is drunk, pretend to be another roommate, and the other person will most likely not be able to tell the difference.

That's reasonable, very reasonable.

Qi Wu was pondering how to unlock his abilities when he suddenly noticed that rescuers were approaching.

They had clearly noticed the commotion.

After all, those two punches were quite loud; it would be hard not to notice them.

Qi Wu glanced at the headless corpse of the water ghost and suddenly thought of a question.

Why didn't I get any equipment drops this time?

Last time I killed the pig-headed man, he dropped a pig-head mask.

This time, after killing the water ghost, nothing was dropped?

Why?

Qi Wu thought for a moment.

Could it be because the pig-headed man is a monster and the water ghost is a vengeful spirit?

Monsters drop equipment, but vengeful spirits don't?

But why do water ghosts have corpses?

Shouldn't it be a zombie?

Moreover, the water ghost's body did not disappear after it died; it remained in the same spot.

This is very different from pig-headed people.

Qi Wu didn't understand, but it didn't matter.

Put aside what you can't figure out for now. Anyway, the water ghost's corpse is still there. Even if it didn't drop any equipment, the corpse is definitely not ordinary.

Qi Wu dug the water ghost's head out of the mud.

The head was deformed, but still relatively intact.

He carried the head in one hand and the body in the other, swimming towards the shore.

The scene was somewhat gruesome: a grown man was in the river, holding a head and embracing a corpse.

If someone filmed it and posted it online, it would definitely become a viral video.

Less than two minutes later, Qi Wu swam to the shore, right where he had just entered the water.

Zhao Peng and Liu Yang were still waiting on the shore.

The two were stunned when they saw Qi Wu emerge from the water, holding something in his arms.

Zhao Peng looked on in disbelief: "Brother Wu... what are you holding?"

Qi Wu threw the water ghost's head and corpse onto the shore.

The body hit the ground with a dull thud, its head rolled twice, and then stopped face up, its empty eye sockets staring at the sky.

"Water ghost."

Zhao Peng glanced at the deformed head, and his expression instantly changed.

Holy crap!!!

He took three steps back, nearly tripping and falling.

"You twisted the water ghost's head off?!"

Qi Wu shook the water off his hair and said calmly, "Yeah, I wrung it out."

Zhao Peng: "..."

Liu Yang: "..."

Zhao Peng was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Liu Yang squatted down, examined the water ghost's corpse, and asked curiously, "Is this thing useful?"

Qi Wu shook his head: "I don't know, but bringing it back is definitely the right thing to do."

"Moreover, when I killed the monster this time, it didn't drop any equipment; it only left behind a corpse."

Liu Yang speculated, "The pig-headed man drops equipment, but the water ghost doesn't, maybe because they're not the same type of monster?"

Qi Wu nodded: "That's what I think too."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a voice came from behind him.

"Water ghosts are vengeful spirits, and the pig-headed man you mentioned is just a ghost story."
