A Wizard's Survival Guide to the 20th Century

"That's a water ghost?" Levi whispered.

"That's right, let's approach it carefully."

Field put the shotgun on his back, and the two of them moved slowly toward the reeds.

The two pushed aside the reeds one after another, and they soon heard a rustling sound. Field suddenly held Levi down and made a hissing gesture.

Levi followed the sound and looked over. There was a small ditch washed out by the water. Under the moonlight, a humanoid creature about half the height of a child was squatting there, chewing a dead fish in his mouth.

Not sure if it was an illusion, Levi felt a disgusting smell wafting over him.

Levi made a visual inspection and found that the water ghost was about ten meters away from him. At this distance, he was not sure of a fatal shot.

"Don't make any movement." Field whispered, "This thing is very timid and very fast. You have to kill it quickly, otherwise once it escapes back into the lake, we will have to work overtime."

"What are you going to do?" She looked at Levi.

Levi thought for a moment and realized that melee combat methods were definitely not good at this time. Humanity's ancestors had proven that long-range weapons were the most efficient hunting method.

But the problem is that any fool with a knife will stab forward, but someone who can shoot a prey in the head from ten meters away can be called a good shooter.

To be on the safe side, Levi decided to invite "that one" to appear.

【Susu numbing anesthetic】

[Rating: 3D]

[Materials required: Alchemy matrix*1, mercury*1, a power storage item with sufficient electricity]

[Explanation: The characteristic fragment left by the electric eel (beast type) wizard, negative]

[Any object that touches the anesthetic will continue to pass a current of 0.1~1 amps within 10 seconds]

Levi noticed that the item introduction interface had also changed, but he didn't have time to study it in detail for the time being. He waved his hand, and a round bottle like a grenade appeared in his hand.

[Space materials consumed: Alchemy matrix*1, mercury*1, lead-acid battery*1]

"Use this to control it first." Levi said holding the paralysis drug like a grenade.

"What is this?" Field asked curiously.

"The paralysis agent, or to put it more directly, is a bottle of concentrated plasma."

Levi showed the bottle to Field. From the latter's perspective, it was a glass egg with rough workmanship. There were many impurities in the glass and it was as hazy as frosted glass.

However, the occasional small current in the blue liquid locked inside makes people feel vaguely uneasy. This rough and effective feeling is very much like the green skin technology in Warhammer.

"You're going to hit the water ghost with it?" Field asked.

"Yes, if we get closer, I'm still sure." Levi weighed the current grenade path.

When he was in military training, he was second in the school competition and was proficient in shooting and grenades. Although he was a lot rusty after not practicing for a few years, he was still confident of throwing a grenade at a designated location about ten meters away.

Besides, this is at least easier than killing a water ghost with a bullet. The bullet has to hit the heart or head to kill him, but as long as the paralyzing agent hits, no matter where it hits, it will be numb immediately.

Field nodded and agreed to Levi's plan.

The latter moved slightly and slowly approached the water ghost. As the distance between him and the water ghost shortened, the monster's appearance gradually became clearer.

It was grey-green and slippery, with skin like a frog. As Levi got closer, the fishy smell became more obvious.

The lakeside of Merritt was not quiet, and the sounds of various animals were heard one after another. The water ghost had not noticed Levi at this time, and was still gnawing on the dead fish in his hand. It was squatting on the ground, like a gray-green moss-covered piece of grass. Stones, you may not be able to spot them if you don’t pay attention.

When one person and one monster were ten meters away, Levi stopped. If he got closer, he might be discovered.

He calmed down and took the kneeling position to throw the bomb as he remembered. The muscles in his arms were then mobilized to throw the paralyzing agent out like a sling.

The rough glass bottle cut through the air and hit the water ghost with a parabola. The innocent water ghost who was eating a late-night snack felt the danger approaching, and looked at the direction where the sound of breaking the air came from in confusion, but the next moment, the small glass bottle It hit it right on the head.

The water ghost only felt a cold steel spike pierce its body in an instant, and its brain seemed to be hit hard by a hammer. Before it realized what happened, it fell straight down.

The half-gnawed dead fish fell to the ground.

"Hit!" Levi thought excitedly and stood up from the ground.

Behind him, Field also walked out of the reeds.

"The posture is very standard. Have you ever been a soldier?" she asked curiously.

"I had military training when I was in school in my hometown." Levi chuckled and told the absolute truth, "What should we do next?"

"Of course I'll kill it... What, do you want to raise it?" Field squinted at Levi helplessly.

Has this guy forgotten everything?

Levi smiled sheepishly, took out his gun and decided to execute the water ghost on the spot.

"Wait a minute." Field stopped him and followed up with a small thing.

Levi quickly put away the gun and caught it with both hands. It was a strange-looking pistol. The handle of the gun was tilted backwards and the barrel was extremely long, like a long black pipe.

"HDM silenced pistol, .22 caliber." Field said, "Switch to this and start shooting again. Although it is not powerful enough and is inconvenient during a fight, it can still kill someone with one shot if you get close to it."

"Your Webley is too loud. The gunshot may attract the attention of other water ghosts."

After all, their purpose is to hunt multiple targets, and letting any of them escape would mean trouble.

"Oh, alright."

Levi weighed the new weapon and slowly approached the water ghost.

The latter was still collapsed on the ground at this time, with its pitted face and straight eyes. Levi noticed that it had a big mouth with small but dense teeth.

"Sorry, I'm BOI."

Levi played a trick, smiled and fired, a dull gunshot was heard, the bullet passed through its forehead, leaving a bloody hole.

The water ghost's expression froze on his face, and his body became limp.

The system beep sounded for the first time in a long time.
