Chapter 385: Chapter 285 Water Ghost Pirate Attack_2

"Water Ghost Pirates are at the door, is this news true?"

"How is the ’Pustule Great Mother’ recovering?"

Pan Hao shook his head, "No use, right now, the Power of Incense is still too weak. Even if it has the strength, it can’t exert it."

This was yet another piece of bad news.

Especially for some young people who had just fled, who had little loyalty and were already thinking of escaping somewhere else.

Huang Youcai felt his heart sink to the bottom, could the gravely weakened Qingshi Town survive this ordeal?

...

...

While the elders of Qingshi Town looked worried, the newly arrived group was also holding a small meeting.

"The world really can’t accommodate us, disaster after disaster."

"Lucky for us, a Demon God protects us; otherwise, even drinking cold water might choke us."

"What should we do next?"

In Mistress Jenny’s crystal ball, a blurry image was reflected: Qingshi Town being breached, most of the population captured, with only a few escaping.

"I can’t guarantee a 100% success rate, but there’s a seventy to eighty percent chance this will be the outcome," Jenny sighed. "Of course, the situation has changed somewhat now."

"If worst comes to worst, we’ll just run, following the instructions of the language!" Old Lu was already packing his bags, ready to flee.

"You, an S-grade Investigator, got promoted like this?" Pan Hao wondered. "What if you run and the ’Game’ gets angry?"

"Better to admit defeat before victory, that’s basic strategy. The enemy’s strength is unknown; are you suggesting we wait to die here?" Lu Tianming shamelessly said.

Apart from them, there was also a team of five (Guest)—Divination Master Jenny, Black-clothed Guard number 24, Doctor Feng Ling, and two Special Soldiers.

"All right, all right, stop arguing. Let’s simply ask the ’Game’ for help. It wouldn’t want to lose its sunk cost, right?"

"Li Qingshan, go ask for help."

Li Qingshan, with great reluctance, entered the room.

Curious, he looked around the temple. The wooden plaque of ’Pustule Great Mother’ was surrounded by a faint mysterious power, but it was far inferior to "Dark Moon." As someone who had spoken with "Dark Moon," he wasn’t very interested in "Pustule Great Mother."

But that blurred stone statue... Looking at its charm, that ancient aura.

However, he couldn’t feel any mysterious power from the stone statue.

"Li Qingshan, go on. Ask for help!" Old Lu urged from behind.

Li Qingshan somewhat stiffly lit three incense sticks.

He was uncomfortable with these feudal superstitious actions.

"Pray, come on, pray!"

Li Qingshan mumbled, "Uh... we can’t defeat the Water Ghost Pirates right now, if you could provide some weapons, we might be able to win."

...

[Outsider, you think you’re about to die again, so you, a humble soul, seek help from the great Demon God, wanting some simple weapons.]

"What weapons, do speak up!"

...

Was there a reaction?

Or not?

With no other options, Li Qingshan had to resort to trying to converse with ’Pustule Great Mother.’

"Are you willing to resolve this disaster?"

"My... my... Qingshi Town... do you eat it? Incense flowers?" The Pustule Great Mother seemed not very bright, fixated on eating all day, which was frustrating.

"Pustule Great Mother doesn’t have deep roots here, so it can’t lend us much power either," Pan Hao sighed. "We have to regularly sacrifice fish and shrimp for it to consolidate an avatar and join the fight. Even if we start worshipping at the last minute, it’s not enough."

"Everyone quiet down, let me say something," Doctor Jin adjusted his glasses. "Since Mistress Jenny has issued a warning, our small number of people plus some militia really might not be able to defeat the robbers."

"Things like Black Dog Blood are useless against robbers, and moreover, this time we don’t have the help of the officials. Pustule Great Mother isn’t reliable either."

"But it seems like the ’Game’ might have responded, right?"

"I’m not sure if it really responded."

Number 24, Doctor Jin said, "Perhaps because we haven’t made a specific request, so it did not respond."

"If only some modern large-scale weapons were brought in, what would some mere robbers amount to?"

"Aren’t technological products prone to failure?" Li Qingshan asked. "We can only use human transport to bring in a few small Strange Objects. What can massively damage the enemies? Chemical weapons or biological weapons?"

Doctor Jin smiled mysterously, "There is, of course... Incendiary Bombs made from Meat Mountain Grease, a newly developed project! The burning temperature is enough to melt steel!"

"Try again, let’s get it to send some Meat Mountain Grease Incendiary Bombs!"

...

...

As the elders of Qingshi Town continued their discussion and information pooled, Huang Youcai’s expression grew even darker.

One trouble had hardly subsided when another arose.

According to the intelligence they had, the so-called "Water Ghost Pirates" weren’t just a band of robbers, they also controlled unknown creatures of the water!!

Ordinary militia were simply not enough.

One robust middle-aged man, his face filled with fear, said, "Years ago, I saw from afar the Water Ghost Pirates raiding a merchant convoy! They were driving creatures with long arms and legs, impervious to knives and spears, in large numbers, even ordinary Taoist priests were no match for these creatures. Within just a few minutes, the whole group was captured, and some were even eaten alive, the scene was truly horrifying..."
