Hoo—

In shock, Wu Liang suddenly felt the large heaps of silt in front of him had not yet settled and seemed to be stirred up again.

That thing is charging at him from behind the silt!

Before Wu Liang could clearly see what it was, a force as fierce as a moving train collided violently with his chest.

Bang—

"I glug damn glug glug you glug glug..." Wu Liang was directly hit and cursed out loud.

But being in the water made it impossible for him to speak normally, and even he could only hear the gurgling sound of water.

The next second, he, like a torpedo, was fiercely thrown out.

Due to the angle being just diagonally upward, Wu Liang was directly hit out of the water, stark naked, flung into the air, and then fell heavily, splashing up a large wave.

Splash—

"Cough cough cough... What the heck is this thing? So exaggerated?" Wu Liang floated on the water, coughing and complaining.

Around him, quite a few fishermen were drawn by the commotion in the middle of the reservoir and looked over.

Luckily, the Mist surrounding him hadn't dissipated, so they could only see the splashing water and couldn't notice someone swimming nude here.

Many fishermen thought there was a big fish in the central location flapping around, making the splash.

They all cast their rods over here.

Wu Liang could only helplessly dodge the fishhooks while swimming toward the place on the shore where he had left his clothes.

Halfway, he casually caught a fish and hung it on one of the fishermen's hooks—after all, the guy was so diligently fishing, couldn't let him go empty-handed.

......

Back on the shore, he casually wiped the water off himself and dressed.

His expression turned serious.

"That thing in the water has to be at least five meters in size! It has a cross-section as thick as my waist! What kind of monster is this?"

After packing up, Wu Liang, with his wet hair, slowly floated up toward the side of the road.

He carefully thought about what he observed when he was hit just now.

It moved swiftly like a torpedo launch, with force fierce enough to directly knock him out of the water, and it seemed to have scales as hard as iron.

Most importantly—it could weaken supernatural powers!

"Ha, this is way too tough, isn't it?" Wu Liang rubbed the white mark on his arm.

This was the mark left when he instinctively punched the opponent on the chest impact, being scraped by its scale-like thing.

But as Wu Liang wiped it off carefully, a drop of blood slid down on the ground.

His skin had actually been cut!

Even though it was almost invisible, the Breaking Blade of Kitchen Knife Ghost was indeed torn open.

But it wasn't because the scales were too exaggeratedly strong.

It's because, when the monster hit Wu Liang, he felt the capabilities of Mist Ghost and Kitchen Knife Ghost were further weakened, which caused him to get a small cut.

"Could it be that the eerie power covering the entire reservoir is emitted by this thing?"

Wu Liang pondered and waved to hail a cab by the roadside.

Based on current information—the closer to the center of the reservoir, the more likely the bottom monster will attack, proving there's definitely something central to the reservoir!

And the closer it got, the more exaggerated the weakening of supernatural powers, even the Fierce Ghost itself would be suppressed.

"Looks like we really need to collaborate with the Official Awakened to investigate what kind of monster this is!" Wu Liang sighed helplessly.

Supernatural powers would be weakened by the monster, but awakened abilities wouldn't!

Especially Sun Zhoushan's powerful awakened ability with damage multipliers.

If they could lure the monster out of the water, Sun Zhoushan with a sniper rifle could definitely pierce that thing with one bullet!

"Please head to Chuanhui District Xingfu District Building A."

After telling the driver the address, Wu Liang looked back to see the guy he helped hook a fish cheerfully pulling back his fishing rod.

He was about to lie down in the backseat to rest but suddenly sat up again!

"Wait! Why didn't I notice this?"

Wu Liang suddenly realized—if the underwater monster has existed for a long time, why have the numerous fishermen surrounding the reservoir never gotten into trouble?

This guy wouldn't really take the fishermen as idle Immortal, every day lazily waiting for them to bait and sneak some food in the water, right?

Even though the fishermen don't go into the water, what about those who fall in or have swimming accidents every year?

If the monster ever touched them, its size and strength would surely leave some marks on the victims, wouldn't it?

But there's none! All victims drowned normally, and when retrieved, their bodies showed no unusual signs, their deaths had nothing to do with the monster!

"Why would I be attacked as soon as I got into the water? Is it because of supernatural powers?" Wu Liang rubbed his forehead and sighed.

The only difference between himself and those guys is that he was using Fierce Ghost Ability while in the water.

It couldn't be because he didn't wear underpants swimming, could it?

Thinking of this, another extremely suitable candidate to test the monster's attack conditions came into Wu Liang's mind—Minister Long!

This guy also carried supernatural powers, and if he were attacked upon entering the water, it would prove the monster only reacts to supernatural powers!

The key point is, Minister Long's Fierce Ghost is strong enough!

Based on previous contact, Wu Liang believes he couldn't possibly be hit and killed by the monster, probably just like himself, able to get ashore unharmed.

"Alright, alright, tomorrow morning let's go to the base and persuade Minister Long to test the water!"

......

The night had fallen.

Busy all day, Wu Liang finally returned home and lay in bed, summoning all his Fierce Ghost Minions to check their current strength.

At Red Robe Level were Nightmare, Oil Paper Umbrella, Kitchen Knife Ghost, and Mist Ghost.

The others were mostly at Fierce Ghost level, just about to reach Red Robe level, with Phone Ghost and Hanged Ghost at the lowest tier.

"Hmm? Wait, did I forget to call back Puppet and the cab?" Wu Liang paused.

[Ghost Compendium] could summon Fierce Ghost Minions to his side from anywhere.

Actually, after switching places with Puppet initially, he could immediately use [Ghost Compendium] to summon Puppet back.

But he'd just landed and been scared by those ladies and clients in the brothel.

Then he forgot to call them back.

Damn, that guy wouldn't get into trouble in Capital City, would he?

Thinking of this, Wu Liang flipped through [Ghost Compendium] to summon Puppet Ghost and the cab back to him.

In the next second, two oddballs appeared simultaneously.

One was folding a stack of cash counting his cab fares; the other was naked, about to drink a glass of red wine.

Wu Liang watched, his face full of black lines.

"You better give me a reasonable explanation."

"Boss, this is really a misunderstanding; I was just soaking and preparing to drink some wine to cultivate my taste," Puppet Ghost said innocently, blinking.

"That's good, I thought you were running around naked with my face." Wu Liang was about to sigh.

But Puppet Ghost suddenly recalled being scolded for half an hour after opening the door for Zodiac Rabbit.

It gently placed the wine glass on the bedside table, trying to smile as much as possible, "Don't be too relieved, your graceful figure was indeed seen clearly, and they said if they see you again, they'll slice you with a knife."

Ha, true warriors dare to face death!

Even knowing that saying it might risk its life, Puppet Ghost didn't hesitate!
