Chapter 82: Fierce Fight in the Sea
For the sake of his own people, and for the sake of the phrase "don't be afraid of the children, there is a great elder", Potlem decided to risk his life to save the father and son and save their entire ship.
This kind of behavior seemed to Lin Qian to be no different from a fool. For myself, it is a mistake to think about saving others on the premise that I can't protect myself. For the entire tribe, two ordinary fishermen could not be equated with the Great Elder, not to mention that without him, the fierce beasts might be even more rampant because of this, which would sacrifice more residents. But Lin Qian's disagreement doesn't mean that he can't understand, at that time, it was not unreasonable for Potlime to make this choice because of a momentary emotional burden, at least he didn't die in the end.
Even after falling into the icy waters, Portleme's reaction was extremely quick and correct.
The beast was a few meters beside him at this time, and a single sprint could crash into him, and his physical endurance had reached the point of a porcelain doll that would shatter at the slightest touch, and being hit was basically equivalent to physical destruction.
Not being able to be bumped into anyway was Potlem's first instinct, so he pushed the sea water away from the first moment he was able to cast his magic, avoiding the beast's path.
The greater the mass, the greater the inertia, and this law of inertia of physics still applies to this world. The beast was slow to start, slow to stop, slow to turn, and could only watch as Potlime flashed in front of it to its left.
Potlime never thought that the thing he reminded Lin Qian would now fall on him, he was already in the seawater, and naturally felt the uncontrollable force from all around, which seemed to be squeezing his space, and at the same time, he was constantly challenging his magic control.
Natural magic, using all things in nature as a medium, uses the power of all things in nature for one's own use. Of course, the sea water is also natural, but all of a sudden, the surrounding water becomes more and more uncontrollable, sticky and sticky.
At this time, with the help of the resistance of the sea water and its own control over the sea water, the fierce beast has successfully stopped. All it had to do was hold the Potleime as close as possible so that it couldn't get out of the water. The fins above its eyes emitted waves that spread rapidly through the seawater, thickening and even solidifying everywhere it went.
Without the support of outside forces, Potlime is just an old man with high mental strength, but it has no effect, and this is the biggest flaw of natural magic: once they are isolated from the outside world, they are just ordinary people. Arcane magic is the direct transformation of one's own spiritual power into energy, which has nothing to do with the outside world, similar to "making something out of nothing", so there is no such disadvantage, of course, they do not have the advantages of natural magic to control everything and "kill people with a knife".
Popelem knew very well in his heart that the battle at this time was a battle between him and the beast for control of this sea water. Whoever can take full control of this sea area will be the final victor.
After decades of practice, Potlime's natural magic ability has reached the limit of what this world can achieve, in other words, if it weren't for those three ancient magic books, he would be the strongest in the history of mankind, not one of them. But when it came to the sea, especially in the duel with the beast Einsus, the king of the sea, Potlem gradually felt that his magic was running out of money.
"This is not a creature that should have appeared in this world!" thought to Botlem, this creature was probably a tumor accidentally left behind by the creator god. The beast's control over the sea seems to be similar to that of natural magic, but it is more domineering, as long as it is completely immersed in the sea, it will be its world.
Potlem couldn't die, at least not until he got rid of the beast, it was his only remaining thought, and with that thought arose, a loud bang was created above his head, and it was heard through the sea.
"Old fellow, let you be strong, it's not that the old man will save you!" The Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King turned into three people at this time, surrounded this sea area from the air with a character formation, and carried out a stormy bombardment of arcane energy.
Seawater is seawater after all, and even if the form changes in a thousand ways, it can't resist the bombardment of direct energy, and it will return to its original state in an instant. Potlaim took the opportunity to break free, making a graceful arc in the air and landing on the surface of the sea. As long as it's not in the water, there's a lot to use, and the air is also a usable boost, pushing yourself to glide towards the island.
The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers continued to bombard this sea area, targeting the beast that was gradually emerging from the water, but even he had a trace of doubt: why didn't this beast run away?
The answer was soon revealed, and after the beast was halfway out of the water, two fierce eyes looked at the fleeing Potlem, shooting out two extremely slender red rays.
Thankfully, he had escaped, and felt a chill in his back, and then saw a ray of light shine through his chest, shooting at the nearby island, blasting a stone to pieces. The light quickly pierced through Potleime, piercing his chest and back.
With a pop, Popelem fell into the sea again, not far from the shore, and was soon carried away by the fishermen, father and son, who had come ashore.
"Damn, it hurt people in front of me!" The Phantom King didn't expect it to attack from a distance with its eyes, and after a moment of surprise, it immediately turned into six people, and used the Arcane Hexagram position to use the same move he had used to defeat Potlime.
The light and darkness finally formed a terrifying thundercloud full of lightning, and this pressure alone made the fierce beast give up the idea of direct confrontation. And the locking nature of the thundercloud determines that the beast must withstand these ten lightning bolts, if nothing else, it must at least open its skin and flesh and even its head.
"Electricity!" the six Ten Thousand Soldier Phantom Kings shouted at the same time.
The first lightning bolt slashed down and slashed directly at the beast, and the beast then sank into the water—and it disappeared completely under the spirit lock of the Phantasm King!
There was no doubt that the first lightning bolt must have struck it, because the old man had clearly seen its scales bloom at a very fast speed, but when it entered the sea, it suddenly cut off contact with everything in the world, causing this invincible thundercloud to lose its purpose.
"Teacher, we're set up!" Lin Qian was taken over by a magician using wind magic, and his speed was much slower than that of the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King.
"Hurry up and close the encirclement, the beast wants to escape, and this time it can't be allowed to succeed. He was already badly wounded, and it was difficult for him to use that power again. The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers hurriedly ordered, when he came, he had already asked Lin Qian to arrange an encirclement and use an enchantment to enclose this sea area to death.
"Yes!" Lin Qian returned to continue to convey the order, at this time he didn't pay any attention, a black shadow in the sea under his feet slowly swam along his course.
Reaching the edge of the enchantment, Lin Qian passed the order down. This is a kind of net-type enchantment, which can only block entry and exit in one direction, and it is good to use it to "fish" in the sea, and it is wishful thinking to completely stop the beast, but at least you can judge the location of the beast and do some blocking.
"There's a situation!" the magician who arranged the enchantment sent a message, "Look over there!"
"Is it? Why is it here?" Lin Qian followed his gaze to the sea, and sure enough, he found the stupid giant beast, still holding the hand bone in its mouth, and was swimming towards Lin Qian's side quickly with a resentful face.
"This direction?" Lin Qian seemed to think of something, and subconsciously glanced at his feet. It didn't matter if it looked at it, Lin Qian's little heart was about to scare out, two red eyes as big as a millstone stared at him motionlessly, and two red lights suddenly shot out from the two pupils, shooting at Lin Qian and another magician in the air respectively.
"Let's go!" Lin Qian only said one word before he felt that the soles of his feet were pierced by something, and then his body started a free fall movement uncontrollably and fell into the seawater, but unfortunately the splash was not pressed well, and the pop sound was slightly deafening.
However, it was precisely because of this deafening sound that Lin Qian, who was almost unconscious, immediately woke up. Lin Qian, a native of the north, couldn't swim since he was a child, and he fluttered like a landlubber while kicking his feet around, trying to use the reaction force of the water to lift himself up.
He knew that he would only be a feast for the beast when he reached the sea, and the struggle at this point was almost useless, but he still couldn't give up. Like a mouse caught by a cat, although there is little hope of escaping the cat, if it does not move, it will only make the prey lose the interest in playing with it prematurely and eat it directly.
At this time, Lin Qian basically lost the ability to think, but he still thought of one thing for the first time: what was the situation of his fellow magician? The wind magician was flying with Lin Qian, and he was also shot by the red light emitted by the eyes of the fierce beast - this distance could not be effectively dodged, why didn't he hear the popping sound of him falling into the water, and the sound of his struggle in the water?
There were all kinds of signs that the magician hadn't fallen into the water yet, and he should have stopped in the air, ready to rescue Lin Qian. Lin Qian, who was about to sink into the water, subconsciously stretched his hand out of the water, waiting for a miracle to come. When the sea water flooded his eyes, Lin Qian closed them, and then touched something in his palm.
"This must be the magician who saved me!" Lin Qian clung to the only hope, and then he felt a huge force coming from his hand, and he fished himself out of the sea.
It was another graceful arc, and Lin Qian's hand that grabbed the thing was also thrown away by this force, and then he didn't fall back into the sea as Lin Qian thought, but he felt a pain in his arm below, and he hit the physical thing.
"This is?" Lin Qian opened his eyes and saw that his fellow magician was lying next to him, and he was actually on the back of that stupid giant beast!
"It saved me?"
