Mono didn't know if the water ghosts felt pain, but looking at Six, who was gleefully throwing bricks at the heads of the water ghosts one by one, Mono felt somewhat... gratified...
What if it's dangerous?
Sometimes, just seeing someone by your side working hard for you brings a strange sense of peace and satisfaction.
Six was as reliable as ever.
However,
"Little Six, watch out!"
Mono suddenly noticed a ripple underwater to the side.
As soon as he spoke, in the next moment, a water ghost popped its head up from nearby on the side, stretching out its claws to grab at Six's little feet...
When Little Six heard Mono's words, she had already raised her guard. Seeing this, she retreated and dodged.
The water ghost's sneak attack did not succeed.
It was relentless; one hand had already reached onto the wooden board...
Seeing this, the glee on Little Six's face faded, a trace of coldness flashing in her dark eyes, along with a hint of panic...
If this wooden board were overturned by the water ghost, they would fall into the water.
They were currently in the middle of the water, surrounded by water ghosts. If they fell in, they would be dead for sure...
Thinking of this, almost subconsciously, she leaped up, then tightly gripped the brick with her small hand and smashed it toward the ghostly hand resting on the edge of the board.
Thus, Mono watched with his own eyes...
"Bang!"
The hard brick streaked across like a dark shadow, making a violent impact directly with the hand on the board. Mono even heard the sound of a bone breaking, very crisp...
"Ah—"
A very strange scream came at the same time, sounding like that bloated fat woman in "Tom and Jerry" seeing a mouse scurry into her pant leg—a heart-wrenching and indescribably desperate sound...
Although it didn't sound human, the emotion could still be felt... it was very painful...
The hand that had just been on the board was already being pulled back tremblingly...
Watching the water ghost clutching its hand with a distorted, pain-filled expression before gradually sinking into the water,
Mono opened his mouth, then glanced at Six, who was slowly standing up straight while clutching the brick,
and couldn't help but slowly close his mouth...
Hmm... it seems these water ghosts do indeed still retain a sense of pain...
However, their companion's failure didn't make the other water ghosts give up the chase...
"Mono... no more stones..."
Little Six smashed another water ghost's head away, reached out to feel around, and found there were no more usable bricks in her arms...
Her small face immediately became tense...
Hearing this, Mono also felt things were not looking good...
The distance to the opposite shore was still quite far. Without stones to hinder them, given the speed of these water ghosts underwater, they would surely be caught.
Just as he was thinking, in the next moment, a water ghost suddenly leaped out of the water
...like a fish leaping over a dragon gate, pouncing toward them with unstoppable momentum...
Looking at the huge pouncing shadow, Little Six's small face was solemn. She clenched her small hands into fists and crouched slightly, her whole body entering a state of gathering power...
She knew her strength might not be a match for these underwater monsters... but... she couldn't let them overturn the "boat," because if it overturned, they would die, and she didn't want that...
Strange: she wouldn't have had such thoughts before...
But now, such a thought had gradually emerged...
For what reason?
She didn't know...
The water ghost seemed infuriated by the attitude shown by the small yellow figure blocking its path. Its large white pupils, flickering with a fierce light, revealed a trace of cruelty, and then its massive palm reached out to grab Six.
Oh... asking for flowers...
Little Six focused her attention and held her breath...
The pressure from the water ghost in front of her was no less than that of other monsters... However, just as she prepared everything to block the pouncing monster, a change occurred.
Only to see the originally hideous face of the water ghost suddenly reveal a look of terror, as if it had seen something of immense fear.
"Ah—"
A strange cry, even more miserable than the one its companion had just made, emitted from its throat, which sounded as raspy as if it were being ground by sand or filled with it.
It hurriedly withdrew its hand, clutched its head, and thrashed about, retreating constantly... Little Six's tense body froze in place...
What happened?
While she was wondering...
"idiot: stop looking, help me watch the surroundings, we need to rush to that platform over there..." Mono's voice came...
The reason that water ghost had run away clutching its head was, of course, his doing.
He had never planned to let the girl Six fight the water ghosts. Although Six's performance had always been impressive, he still didn't want it.
Besides, he had sworn that only he could bully Six, only he could touch her. How could anything else lay a hand on her?
However, [Hatred] (Select a designated target, causing a 1% to 1000% fear effect based on the relative strength of both parties) indeed had an effect on the water ghost that exceeded his expectations.
It seems that while these water ghosts have decent physical bodies, their willpower isn't very strong...
