Chapter 2169: Storm Ghost (Ⅲ)

After making up his mind, Joan waved Clark, Bayerhoff, and Mishka to suspend the beating of the storm ghost, and stepped back a certain distance to avoid being accidentally injured by the spell he was going to cast next.
"Oiomúré!"
Qiao An chanted a spell, made a spellcasting gesture, and summoned a group of brown mist with a strong sour smell out of thin air, covering the storm ghost.
The 6th level "Acid Fog" is highly corrosive. Every time the storm ghost stays in the fog for 3 seconds, it will suffer 1 energy level of acid corrosion damage.
The "regeneration" physique was suppressed by the acid mist, and the storm ghost realized the threat of death and struggled to crawl out of the mist.
What's more terrible is that the "acid fog technique" also has the characteristics of the 4-level "heavy fog technique" sticky delay. The storm ghost uses all its strength, like trekking in the mud, and finally the upper body escapes the acid mist. The Frost Giant kicked his face and kicked back mercilessly.
Seeing that there is no hope of getting out, the time of death is approaching, and the storm ghost has to cry for mercy.
Bayerhof squeezed his nose close to the acid mist, stuck his pick in it, hooked the storm ghost under his arms, and pulled it out with all his might.
"Ugly ghost! You are an accomplice of that fake witch, aren't you? Tell me honestly if you don't want to die, where did that stinky woman hide!"
The storm ghost raised his face eroded and festered by the acid mist, and the moment he met the dwarf, there was a strong resentment in his eyes.
This resentment is not only directed at the enemy in front of him, but also directed at the "fake witch" among the short population.
"That Katerina is too vicious! Not only did you deceive the mine owner of the White Bear Village... even my ally was taken in by her!"
"Hey! What do you mean by that, isn't that female liar hiding in the mine with you?" Bayerhof asked in surprise.
The storm ghost shook his head and replied weakly: "Originally, we said that we would share the two pounds of magic crystals in the White Bear Village. As a result, the of Katerina...slammed me hard and got the money. Just ran away by herself and never contacted me again... You ask me where she is? I want to know too!"
The storm ghost became more and more angry, clenched her fists excitedly and roared: "The cursed Katerina! It is better to pray that I will not find you, I must get my money back!"
"Your money?" Bayerhof slapped the storm ghost with a pickaxe, and yelled back with a doubled voice: "Ugly ghost! Robber! Despicable thief! You pricked my ears and listened carefully, the fake witch cheated away. It’s not your money—it’s mine! Mine!"
"It's all the same, it's all the same...Anyway, we were all fooled by that woman, we are all big fools!"
The Storm Ghost closed his eyes and looked deeply shocked and discouraged.
Clark scratched his head and said to Qiao An, "Brother, this ugly ghost seems to be telling the truth."
Qiao An nodded lightly, "Defensive Lies" did not find any signs of the Storm Demon protecting Katerina, on the contrary, it even hated the wicked woman who betrayed her allies even more than Bayerhof.
"Brother Bayerhof, the storm ghost really doesn't know where Katerina is. It's useless if you smash his head." Clark persuaded the old friend to calm down.
"Then what should I do, can't I just forget it?" The dwarf was still angry.
"Brother Joan, can you find out Katerina's location by magic?" Clark asked.
"I've tried it a long time ago. That woman is very cunning, with a barrier that blocks'detection' on her body. This is probably a big reliance on which she dares to deceive without worrying about being chased by her enemies." Qiao An sighed.
"The clue is broken, it can't be traced for the time being, that's all." Clark continued to persuade the dwarf, "Although you have lost two pounds of magic crystals, you at least regained the mine, and you have an explanation to the partner. ."
Bayerhoff nodded and smiled mockingly.
"That's right, Brother Clark, taking back the mine is the most important thing, especially considering that the two pounds of magic crystals were originally the expense of hiring someone to take back the mine, so it's not a loss."
Clark touched his nose, the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.
"Brother Bayerhof, according to what you said, those two pounds of magic crystals should have been paid to me and brother Qiao'an, but now they have been taken away by the fake witch. Brother Qiao'an can still dig some blue soldier ore. To make up for the loss, I haven't lost any good, then I should go to the fake witch to collect debts!"
The dwarf laughed loudly: "Brother Clark, you have the point! Starting today, the mission of hunting down fake witches will be officially handed over to you, so please do your best!"
A gunshot interrupted their conversation and laughter.
The frost giant and the dwarf looked back in horror and found that the smoking muzzle in Joan's hand was pointed at the storm ghost, and the storm ghost was surrounded by a large group of pale beetles sucking blood, and screamed in fright.
"Don't be nervous, just draw some blood from you as the research material, there is a high probability that you will not die."
While "comforting" the storm ghost, Qiao An waved his hand to recall the doom beetle swarm, and stored the blood drawn in the reagent bottle.
The storm ghost has already confessed, and now he has been drawn blood by Qiao An, knowing that he is afraid that it is of no use value, lest he will be slaughtered and killed, he raised his head and looked at the dwarf, yelling:
"Mr. Dwarf! You said just now,'If you don't want to die, tell the truth', I'm telling the truth. You can't kill me, otherwise you're lying and your words don't count!"
Bayerhof stroked his beard very tangled. On the one hand, he felt that he should be believed, and on the other hand, he did not want to let this evil monster go.
Surely the Storm Ghost will come back for revenge in the future, when Joan and Clark have already left White Bear Village, how should he protect himself?
Qiao An saw that the dwarf was in a dilemma, so he walked to the storm ghost, made a casting gesture, and shot a gray beam at him.
Storm Ghost's body quickly petrified, and finally his horrified expression was permanently solidified on an icy sculpture.
Qiao An then made a "fossil to mud" and melted the frozen soil under his feet into a mud puddle as deep as 100 feet, and then kicked the petrified storm ghost into it.
The stone statue sank into the quagmire, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Qiao An added a "turning mud to stone" to recondense the quagmire into a solid frozen soil layer that will never melt.
In the foreseeable future, the probability of storm ghosts being re-discovered and de-petrified is almost zero.
In this way, it does not violate the promise not to kill the storm ghost, but also achieves the goal of eliminating evil.
Qiao An feels that his approach can be described as the "best of both worlds", and Bayerhoff evaluates it from another angle.
"Little Brother Qiao An deserves to be a genius mage! The reality of this world's true mother, with high magic power, is that he can do whatever he wants!"
That's right, "High mana means being able to do whatever you want."
The venerable Mr. Bayerhoff will soon have a deeper-even painful comprehension of this sentence.
