[Attack power: 250]

For a moment, Xavier thought he was dazzled when he saw this number, but considering that the system was directly presented in his mind, whether he was dazzled or not did not seem to affect his ability to distinguish the numbers, so it was obvious that his attack power

Indeed, it went from one to two hundred and five.

Just when he was confused, two reminder sounds came from the system again, which instantly restored Xavier's thoughts to calmness.

[Congratulations to the host for getting the prop, a steel sword! 】

[Current host swordsmanship level: Apprentice Swordsman (0/100)]

It seems that the increase in attack power is purely because he obtained Barry's steel sword and has nothing to do with his own strength.

As for the rank of trainee swordsman, Xavier is not surprised. In his previous life, he was a stay-at-home guy who never went out after getting off work. He had never done any exercise at all, let alone practiced swordsmanship.

To face the monster with such strength, it seems that there is no other way except the speed of light. At this moment, he even regrets a little, why should he accept such a task?

Sure enough, the system is not so kind!

No matter what, this was all his own evil, and there was no chance of regret in this world. Xavier could only follow the footsteps of the old man Barry with anxious thoughts, and went to the river to try to rescue his wife.

Cassidy.

Along this road, many villagers fled. Barry tried to stop one of them and asked him about the whereabouts of his wife.

But in a time of panic, how many people will pay attention to the whereabouts of others? After all, no one can protect themselves. So Barry asked several people, and the answers he got were "don't know", or even ignored them at all.

He ran away on his own.

However, Huangtian paid off, and the old man finally asked a young man in the village where Cassidy was.

"I saw her and some girls from the village going to the west side of the river to wash clothes, and I didn't know anything about it after that!"

After saying that, he quickly pulled up his legs and ran away in the opposite direction of where Xavier and the two were traveling, not even willing to say another word.

It was obvious that he was afraid of something coming, but Xavier didn't need to guess, because not long after he left, a monster appeared in front of his face.

That's the water ghost.

The water ghost is slightly smaller in size, about 1.5 meters tall than a human being. It is blue in color and has skin like a drowned person. It has the characteristics of a fish, but it walks on two legs.

In his previous life, Xavier often saw them in movies or games, but he didn't expect that he would receive a grand welcome from them in the first battle after traveling through time.

I don't have sword oil or silver sword... He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Xavier could feel the old man next to him trembling. He was so frightened by the sharp teeth and sharp dorsal fins of the water ghost that his fear spread through sound waves.

However, he did not flinch because of this. Perhaps his love for his wife gave him courage. He held the steel sword sideways in his hand and made a standard blocking action.

However, the water ghost didn't seem to be interested in him. The ghost screamed and pounced on Xavier without fear of death. It intuitively told it that he was the real threat!

"careful!"

In Barry's eyes, the water ghost swung its claws at Xavier at an extremely fast speed. However, Xavier did not have much fear and stepped back slightly, successfully dodging the water ghost's attack.

After Round 1, it was naturally Round 2. One person and one monster turned this battle into a turn-based battle. Xavier clenched the steel sword that Barry handed him, as if he had muscle memory, and his upper body shook slightly.

The sword blade drew a beautiful arc, and the water ghost's head fell off.

Obviously, this is not the swordsmanship Xavier should master.

In the battle just now, it was as if there was a soul controlling him, making him perform some actions that felt like he had been practicing for a long time.

"Could it be that this is the battle memory I inherited from time travel?"

Xavier didn't know exactly what was going on. He only knew that the various battle memories of the original owner were existing in his mind in the form of fragments. Unless he was in battle, he could not display them at all.

This experience was mysterious, elusive, and yet instinctive, even suppressing the fear he should have had.

So is this a good thing or a bad thing? Xavier is not sure, but he has seen the dawn of success for this mission.

As long as he uses this power again, it will be no problem to deal with several water ghosts!

As for Barry next to him, before he had time to react, he saw Xavier neatly defeating the terrifying monster, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

He rescued this young man from the river with his own hands! Who would have thought that a person he rescued at random would have such excellent swordsmanship? This is a plot that can only appear in a drama or a story book!

"Oh my God! Are you a knight, Xavier?"

"I'm just an ordinary person with interests." Faced with the old man's exaggerated praise, Xavier shook his head slightly, and then continued, "Let's not talk about it for now. The top priority now is to rescue Grandma Cassidy."

He was not too intoxicated by what he had just felt. After all, he knew very well that someone might be in danger because of him.

Then he saw the old man Barry nodded slightly and started running wildly with him again.

The destination is very clear, which is the west side of the river. This is what the villager just told them, but it is obviously not easy to find a few people in such a large place, and Xavier cannot press V to summon Icarus.

Fortunately, he has a smart teammate. As the saying goes, the older you get, the hotter you get. The old man Barry found the footprints of Cassidy and others through his presbyopic eyes.

"See this texture? Only Cassidy would wear shoes like this!"

Following the pile of footprints, the two came to the door of a small house. Xavier kicked it open, and what they saw were several laundry girls and the old man's wife, Cassidy.

It turned out that after they saw the water ghosts invading, they hid here without making a sound, waiting for subsequent reinforcements. Fortunately, the stupid water ghosts did not find any trace of them.

I don’t know if it’s fate, but among the laundry girls there is a person that Xavier doesn’t want to see. She is the sturdy girl Lysa, who was initially very fond of Xavier because of the system.

When she saw Xavier, she seemed very excited and ran over to give her dear brother a hug of love, but Xavier had to duck to avoid him.

Facing that resentful look, Xavier smiled awkwardly and chose to ignore it, then asked everyone to follow his footsteps and leave the place as soon as possible.

The reason why he did not stay here to wait for rescue was because Xavier was afraid that the blood stains on his knife would attract the water ghosts. He himself was not afraid, but he was afraid that several female family members would be harmed as a result.

So he felt that the best way at the moment was to leave this place as soon as possible and escape before the water ghosts discovered them! But would this task really be that simple? Will the system let them go so easily?

Xavier didn't know, but no matter what, he didn't think it was a good thing to sit here and wait for death.

What's more, the success at the beginning undoubtedly added a lot to his self-confidence. As long as the number of enemies is not too many, I believe that with the swordsmanship he inherited, he will definitely be able to do it with ease.
