Volume 1: Storm Hanhai Chapter 48 Interception
The wind howled and the rain poured down.
The weather during storm season is always so bad that people don't want to go outside.
In the canopy, Aretz was watching the Fish-Man tribe, and they hadn't changed much.
Day after day, the fish-men mechanically repeated their previous actions, toiling to carry some stones.
After killing several fishmen, they all carried the same ore.
It is a volcanic ore from the center of the island, and it contains a faint supernatural power.
Bourcho's power of truth has also been further awakened, although there is no increase in actual power, but the inexplicable knowledge has increased a lot, and the use of spiritual power has also been much stronger.
According to his detection, the energy in this ore can also be mobilized.
Due to the similarity of properties, Knox also began to try to attract the power in it, and after several failures, he was able to use this ore flexibly, but he did not find much use.
"It's kind of weird. ”
Alletse plays with the ore in his hand, as long as it is injected with extraordinary power, the ore can feedback a warm heat, which is also a good way to ward off the cold in cold weather.
Although Alez has the power of water, it is not inconvenient to use this stone, and the power in the mineral is too gentle, but it is more friendly to the power of fire.
Seeing that the fish-men had left the lair one after another, Arezi also slid down from the canopy and hurried back to the cave.
"The Fish-Man has set off!"
Alex rushed in from the rain and shouted to the few people who were ready.
In the past half a month, the group has dealt with many fishmen, and on their way to departure and return, the flames of Knox have burned them to ashes.
The pathetic mutant fish-people don't have too much intelligence, and even if they suffer more than half of the casualties, they still go back and forth mechanically, mining these ores.
"Let's do a big deal today, Lord Viscount, it's not interesting to kill a few fishmen at a time. ”
Knox smiled, with a somewhat unorthodox look.
"It's better to be careful, there are only thirty or so fish-people left, and it will be almost the same for two more days, so there is no need to take risks. ”
The combat power of a single fishman is indeed limited, even Bourcho, and it doesn't take much effort to clean it up.
It's just that compared to a direct collision that can cause casualties, the plan that can be completed in just a few days is better.
"Hey, hey. ”
Knox laughed twice, but he didn't object.
Except for Zelin, who was still unable to leg, he stayed in the cave and watched Goluo Goluo, and the others were ready to touch the path of the fish-man.
The mutant fish-people, a completely demented species, can still maintain their obsession with mining, even day after day, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is definitely not their instinct.
Thinking that they were asked to mine by the Deep Sea Emissary before, and becoming this virtuous character was also done by the Deep Sea Emissary, the mutant fish-man behavior must have been manipulated by the Deep Sea Emissary.
The Abyssal Emissaries are most likely of the same race as the previous Storm Apostles, that is, followers of the Lord of the Plague and the Lord of the Storm.
Since they need these ores so much, it must be of great use to them. Sooner or later, if you want to be an enemy, you naturally have to pay more attention to their unfavorable side.
Torrential rain poured down from the clouds
Turning the ground muddy, turning blood into dirt.
In a not-so-dense woodland, the corpses of the fish-men lay on the ground, most of them with their heads cut off.
"The knife is dull. ”
Cutting off the last head, Knox weighed his machete, complaining a little about the feel of it.
"I don't even have a whetstone, it's inconvenient. ”
For the past fifteen days, in addition to hunting these fishmen, everyone has been exploring the island, hoping to get back to the camp and get something useful. But the result is that the people are no longer on the original island.
That's right, just after the gate to the dome closed, everyone was no longer where they were, and the lava passage through was already under the current island.
As for where the current island is, who knows.
"Captain Knox's knife is a little blunt, but you don't need it, do you? ”
Bourcho crouched to the side and teased Knox, who had also solved a fish-man himself, and was so tired that he was almost lying down.
"Cut, the treasure knife is matched with the hero, no matter how bad it is, I am stronger than you, and the knife naturally has to be a lot sharper. The gap between you and me is like the gap between a wooden knife and a steel blade. ”
Knox responded angrily to Bourcho, anyway, Bourcho's combat effectiveness is not very good, but whenever it comes to fighting, just say so.
"Hey, Captain Knox, you're hurting people again, isn't my inheritance combat power inferior to you. Besides, I'm not useless, right, Viscount. ”
Bourcho began to complain to the viscount, complaining of "atrocities".
"Come on, I don't know what virtues you two have, and I have to say two words every time. ”
I could see this pair of living treasures every day, and Viscount Eric's ears were calloused. Hurry up and let the two of them stop arguing here and find something practical to do.
"Knox, you hurry up and deal with these fishmen, set them on fire, and what happened to the province. Yes, you move alone. ”
"As for Bourcho, with so much strength, there will be a little more ore today, usually you don't have much strength, but today you always have it. ”
"Ah, don't, Lord Viscount, my little body. ”
"I didn't hear clearly, how much more do you want?"
"Well, Lord Viscount, I mean my body is completely able to eat for a day today. ”
"Well, that's good, then clean up and leave, and come back tomorrow. ”
A leader is always a leader, and there is always a way to govern you.
Night
The wind and rain were howling, but the cave was brightly lit.
With these ores, Knox is no longer responsible for igniting the fire.
As long as they are infused with supernatural power, these ores will emit the power of fire, which is naturally much easier to use than flint and steel, which cannot be used in humid environments.
"Let's find out tomorrow and get rid of all these fishmen. ”
Viscount Eric said it lightly, like plucking a few turnips.
"Lord Viscount, why do you suddenly plan to annihilate them all at once, and I propose that you still not agree during the day?"
Knox was a little strange, he proposed to deal with all the fish-people during the day and was opposed by the Viscount, so now the Viscount himself decided to do so.
"There are many long nights and dreams, and we have lost too much time here. ”
Eric said in a deep voice: "There are only about twenty of them left, and there is no big problem in intercepting and killing a wave on the road, and it is not a big deal to directly confront them head-on." ”
"Zelin's body is almost recovered, and with one more person, it's not too difficult to solve those fishmen. ”
"The main thing is, after so many days, we haven't found that those fishmen can fuse into stronger monsters. From this point of view, even if they can be integrated, the conditions are very harsh. At least not enough time is not possible. ”
To get rid of the Fishmen, not to mention Knox Even Bourcho was a little excited: "We just need to burn them to ashes as soon as possible, even if they can merge, it won't work at all." ”
"Alright, get ready tonight. Knox, you also try to deal with the blade as much as possible, but don't complain that the knife is dull and you can't kill the fish-man. ”
Seeing that everyone was in favor of solving the scourge of the fishmen, Eric asked them all to prepare for tomorrow's battle, which was sure to be won.
The sky was hazy and overcast
Inky shadows lingered in the distance, faintly rushing towards the island.
"Today, I'm afraid that a storm is coming, which is not a good sign. ”
Arezi looked at the sky and muttered.
"Boy, what are you talking about?"
Knox took a toothpick in his mouth and heard Alex say to himself: "Don't worry about anything here, kill so much, don't you know the combat effectiveness of those ugly things? ”
"yes, those things can't make big waves. ”
Thinking about it carefully, Alets thinks it's right, as far as those fishmen who have been clear about the rules of life and the methods of fighting, it is difficult to do anything.
"When you're ready, it's time to go. ”
"Yes, Lord Viscount!"
As usual, after a while, the unlucky fish-man threw himself into the net.
The first group of ten fish-men lined up and walked into the territory, like a swarm of flies rushing to take their medicine.
"Hah!"
When all the fishmen entered the woodland, Knox could no longer resist the battle spirit and jumped out.
With both hands raised in the air, he slashed violently, and the fish monster that bore the brunt of it was instantly split in half, and a smell of burnt meat filled the air.
Fish-people who have lost their minds are the simplest, but their psychological endurance is much stronger than that of creatures. Even if he was caught off guard and his teammates died miserably, he still didn't have the slightest sense of fear, and ran up screaming.
"And me!"
Viscount Eric was originally an aggressive man, and a knife burst out, like a meat grinder, with a long knife pierced into a fish-man's body.
In an instant, the scarlet flesh and blood, the gray bone and marrow, the brown, yellow, black and red organs were all ground into pieces, and scattered and splashed with the wind on the blade.
It's just that this fish-man's vitality is very tenacious, but he just shattered half of his waist, and he didn't die at once, but supported it with his two front paws, and pounced on Viscount Eric again.
"Bang"
Another invisible whirlwind hit the center of the fish monster's eyebrows, and the whole head exploded like a watermelon, and the juice was sticky and burst everywhere.
On the other hand, Knox can be described as a knife and a fire, a good fish man, under his knife, instantly turned into Turkish barbecue. It's just that the flesh and blood of the fish-man are a little fishy, and even the burning of the fire can't completely eliminate this smell, so it definitely can't be eaten.
There were only eight fish-men in total, and by surprise, they were so stabbed that Knox spent a lot of time cleaning up the battlefield.
"I'm sorry, Knox. But since they are going to be annihilated, it doesn't matter how you leave some debris behind to terrify them. ”
Eric also felt that his moves were a little too violent, and he had to clean up with Knox. But since you want to annihilate the entire fish-man race, this is nothing.
"Let's go first, rest for a while, and then go and take those fishmen to the nest!"
"Yes, Lord Viscount!"
