Chapter 369: If you don't die, you won't die

"What the hell is going on? Why are those Barons Calus suddenly gone?!" Niza muttered as she looked at the surface of the water with only countless remnants of ice remaining.

Although Leitch had already said that he had a way to deal with these insects, it was a real fifth-order creature after all, and it also had incredible magic immunity attributes, but now, those Baron Calus had disappeared so inexplicably?

At this moment, Arthur, who was originally in a coma, suddenly sat up slowly, he looked at the water that had regained calm, and looked like a bamboo in his chest and a lonely master, and said lightly: "It's a piranha, those Baron Calus were eaten by the piranha in the water." ”

"Stupid, even an idiot can deduce this, okay? But you kid is still pretending to be a big head of garlic here!" As soon as Arthur's words were finished, Bill knocked on the door of the head fiercely, and Bill saw Arthur glaring at him in annoyance, and immediately added, "I don't believe you asked about dwarf winter melon!"

Arthur reflexively looked at Lawsky, and sure enough, he saw Lawsky nodding his head and looking like you kid was pretending to be garlic.

Short couldn't help but shake his head at this scene, and at the same time slightly distanced himself from Lawsky, as if he was worried that an idiot would be contagious......

Niza thought for a moment and couldn't help asking, "It's true that those Barons Calus were eaten by piranhas, but Lord Viscount, under normal circumstances, even if those Barons Carrus don't make any resistance and let those piranhas bite, shouldn't they be able to help each other's carapaces?"

"That's because their physics teacher died early. ”

"What?!" Niza was confused.

"You can ignore that sentence just now," Retch chuckled, then raised his voice abruptly, "Arthur, Niza, and all the female guards - listen up, I'm going to teach you a very important lesson now!"

A very important lesson?!

Hearing this, Arthur no longer cared about messing with Bill, and stared at Leitch with his eyes blazing, even his ears as if they were cocked, as if he was worried that he would miss every word that Leitch said next!

As for Bill and the others, they were also quite interested, although they had roughly guessed that what Leitch said next should be largely related to the spellcaster, but at the same time, they were also interested in explaining why those Barons Calus had disappeared inexplicably!

"A spellcaster, whether a mage, a priest, a witcher, or a troubadour, is essentially an exercise of elemental power! In many cases, we tend to use magic to deal direct damage to our enemies, but for now, I want to tell you - magic can also inflict indirect damage on enemies, with the help of the truth!"

"Truth?"

In the world we live in, there are countless truths and laws, such as objects suspended in the air and falling vertically without external interference, water that is heated by a flame and evaporates as water vapor, and a pregnant woman who is actually as likely to give birth to a boy as a girl...... These truths are ubiquitous in our lives, and though they are largely unnoticed by us, they are absolutely true! The method I used to destroy Baron Calus just now was based on one of the laws—the expansion and contraction of heat!"

"At the beginning, the attacks of the female guards on those Baron Calus proved that they have extremely strong magic immunity attributes, and they can be immune to magic damage, but the heat generated by those fire magic will not disappear! As long as those insects are hit by magic, the heat generated by fire magic will more or less enter their bodies and continue to accumulate! When the heat accumulated in the insects' bodies reaches a peak, I unleash a masterful ice magic on them, and those insects will suddenly freeze in extreme heat, and their carapaces will unexpectedly not be able to withstand the thermal expansion and contraction and crack!"

Short, who had fully understood, couldn't help but exclaim: "Baron Calus, whose carapace is cracked, once they are swarmed by a large number of piranhas in the water, they will definitely die!"

Leitch laughed, "Short is right, that's what happened. Of course, because the specific properties of Baron Calus's carapace are not clear, it is difficult to grasp the degree of cracking of the carapace if we can, so the wounds we used with crossbow arrows to make those insects are very important, which can contribute to the appearance of cracks!"

"I see, the eldest brother is really amazing!But it seems that a mage has a lot to know!" said Lawsky, who couldn't help but show a headache and a happy expression.

"Do you think a mage is so easy to do? Just those intricate magic formulas and massive magical knowledge are enough to discourage most people!" As a dragon priest, Arthur is undoubtedly among the spellcasters, although he can't even talk about half a bucket of water at the moment, but this does not affect his superiority in front of Bill!

"It's like you're very powerful, you half a bucket of water that can't even figure out how water conducts electricity!" Bill's fluttering words suddenly made Arthur's sense of superiority stuck in his throat!

In the end, Arthur, who couldn't bear it anymore, glared at Bill and said, "Bill, in the name of a dragon sacrifice, I want to duel with you!"

After speaking, as if he was afraid that Bill would not agree, Arthur did not forget to provoke: "If you are a gentleman, don't refuse!"

Who knew that Arthur grinned and said: "In the name of your dragon sacrifice, it is my business? And you challenge me with a third-order and a second-order, can you still have a longer face?" so I refuse!"

"Of course, if you're going to wrestle with me, I'd love it!" said Bill, grinning again, his bright teeth flashing a little, and he demonstratively bent his arm towards Arthur.

There is no doubt that in the end, Arthur's provocation against Bill ended in complete defeat......

In any case, the threat posed by the Baron Calus was finally lifted, and it was time to go to the opposite island in the middle of the lake to get the Cryptmen's leader's weapon. Well, as for the leader of the Cryptmen, that thing has already been hung up after completing the activation of a few Barons Calus—it's really the otherworldly version of the 'Seven Wounds Fist'......

As for how everyone is going to get to the island in the middle of the lake on the other side, this is not a problem for Retch with the dragon's wings, but it is difficult for everyone else - you must know that there are countless piranhas swimming in this pool, and they have even gnawed a few Baron Calus!

"By the way, how did the leader of the cryptmen get to the other side every time?" said Lawsky, scratching his ears and cheeks. The rest of the people also had puzzled faces on their faces.

"Could it be that there's actually a secret passage hidden under the water that we don't know about?" Arthur guessed.

"Yes, it seems that Arthur, you kid has become smarter, so that you can guess it! It seems that the difficult task of finding the secret passage under the water is entrusted to you!Don't worry, I will keep the treasure chest under your bed!" Bilton said bewilderedly.

Looking at the malicious smile on Bill's face, Arthur couldn't help but scold "Get out", and at the same time didn't forget to glare at Short viciously - this kid revealed the location of his treasure!

"Alright, let's stop for a moment," Richie glared at Arthur's unreliable fellows, especially Bill, before laughing, "Don't forget, that Cryptman leader is an ice priest!"

While the others were still confused, Niza came to his senses and said, "My lord, you mean to say that you used ice magic to forcibly create a passage!"

"That's right, let's go. ”

As he spoke, Leitch's hands were filled with extreme cold, and the water surface in front of him quickly froze under the action of the cold air, forming a one-meter-wide ice surface in a moment! Then, as Leitch continued to advance, the ice continued to spread towards the island in the middle of the lake, and finally formed an ice bridge across the water.

"This magic is really magical!" Bill sighed from the bottom of his heart, feeling the solid ice under his feet.

"Let me see how strong the ice is!" said Lawski, suddenly excited.

As Lawski's voice fell, looking at his impatient appearance, Short and Bill, who were walking beside him, immediately changed color, and the two of them almost didn't think about it, so they began to run towards the island in the middle of the lake!

As soon as Bill and Short had run three meters, they heard a loud 'bang' behind them, mixed with Lawsky's terrifying shout......

The two stood on the edge of the broken bridge, looking at Lawsky who was splashing in the water, and a sense of intellectual superiority suddenly arose, and his colleague Bill did not forget to sigh from the bottom of his heart: "This is really - if you don't die, you won't die!"

"That Lauski, it doesn't seem like he can swim?" looked at Lausky, who seemed to be about to sink, and Short next to him couldn't help but say.

"Look, he definitely can't swim!" Arthur, who was standing behind the two, was very sure.

"Oh. Then Bill and Short immediately let out an 'oh'.

"Do you think it's the thick skin of the dwarf winter melon, or the sharp teeth of those piranhas?" Bill then asked the two beside him in a serious manner.

"I think this is a question worth exploring! This is a series of propositions related to the physical resistance of the Storm Dwarves, the underwater combat ability of the Storm Dwarves, the life limits of the Storm Dwarves, and so on, and it is indeed a question worth exploring!" Arthur said in a very 'dragon sacrifice style'.

"I think we should discuss how to recover the insurance compensation for Lawsky, it's about the prestige of the Black Wind Territory!" Short next to him said with a 'paladin' look.

"If you don't pick him up, you can go down and go on an underwater adventure with him!" At this time, the three of them heard Leqi in the distance say coldly.

Then, with a 'poof', Arthur had jumped into the water! Much to the astonishment of Bill and Short - what did Arthur want to do? Didn't he see Lawsky's hand on the side!

"Poof-" Half a minute later, Lawsky, who had a swollen stomach and was lying on the ice, spat out a fish—only the thickness of his thumb, and Bill and Short on the side couldn't help but be amazed.

Immediately, Arthur, who had also climbed ashore, said weakly to Bill and the others, "Well, can any of you help me pull out that piranha on my ass?"
