Chapter 81: The God of the Tribe
Is this the hand bones of a god, or is it just the remains of some giant creature? Poolem and the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers glanced at each other, both seeing deep doubts in each other's eyes.
"It turns out that after death, this god is no different from a human, just an ordinary white skeleton. Don't you want this white bone, old fellow, take it and take it away!" said the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers, teasingly.
"Hmph!" Potlem snorted, still trying to find something unusual about the bone.
"Don't bother, it's nothing special except it's harder. The old man persuaded him.
After a long time, Potleim finally gave up, and he decided that it was just a bigger, harder hand bone.
"In that case, let's return the things to their original owners, do you still have to fight with a beast to eat the bones?" said the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King and left with Lin Qian.
The Great Elder hesitated for a long time, but he still withdrew the people, and even if the pile of unusable bones was really left by God, it was of no value to him.
The giant beast had always thought it was clever to hide behind the mountain, but when it saw that there was no one around the bones, it quickly crawled to it, bit the bones, and ran into the sea.
"Teacher, did you really find nothing?" Lin Qian asked in a low voice.
"No," the old man shook his head, then snickered, "but this thing is certainly not simple, and we must take it." It's much easier to take it from the beast than from the old guy's hand. Do you remember the direction the beast fled?"
"Yes. Lin Qian understood what the old man meant, which meant that he wanted to capture and indulge.
The matter was stopped, and the two sides did not mention the matter again, but discussed a plan to kill the beast. This was planned by Potlem in advance, and he was responsible for tracking the information of the beast, and then he would fight first, and then cast stealth magic on Lin Qian's side, killing him in the shadows at once. In order to prevent the beast from escaping, the elders also made several preparations in order to achieve a success.
"What about Raymond, when is the Great Elder going to release it?" Lin Qian asked unkindly, he was full of confidence now that he had the teacher by his side.
"The dragon clan powerhouse is also a big help in killing fierce beasts, and the old decay is useful, President Lin must not worry. Potlime's tone was not so tough, although he didn't release him immediately, but this kind of reply also reassured Lin Qian a lot.
"As long as that guy doesn't make trouble, you have to take care of him, the old man could have promised the dragon patriarch. The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers added another sentence, I don't know if it's true or not.
"Dragon Clan Patriarch, how is the strength?" "The Great Elder knew that Raymond was already a master of the Dragon Clan, could there be a stronger one?
"The old man has never been afraid of other people in his life, but he is really a little afraid of this dragon patriarch. Even against the old immortal Lipsus, I have never lost so badly. ”
"Oh?" The Great Elder's cloudy eyes opened with some curiosity, he knew the strength of Lipsus, could the Dragon Clan Patriarch be a little stronger than him?
The life on the island is not as good as that on the mainland, the three meals are all seafood, and the first time I eat it, I feel fresh, and when I get to the back, I see the fish like vomiting, just like the complaint when the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers came - I feel that there are fish scales on my body.
Although Potlime still had a grudge against Lin Qian and this group of magicians, he still endured it when he thought of the more important matter of the beasts, and still endured it and entertained him deliciously. He is the emperor of the soil here, and he is the master of any island he goes to, and after some orders, the people under him are also careful.
Three days later, word came from one of the tribe's marginal islands that they had spotted the beast's tracks. The beast is trying to stir up the sea water to hit the houses of the people living in the lower places, and once the people who do not know how to do water are washed back into the sea by the waves, they will become the main meal of the beast.
"Be careful, don't go into the sea, even if you know magic, it's useless in the face of such a beast. Potlaim kindly reminded from the ship.
The old captain had already told Lin Qian this sentence once, and Lin Qian heard it again and felt even more strange in his heart: Could it really be an invincible existence in the sea?
"Can it do water magic?" asked a magician, curious.
"It's more terrifying than that," Potleym sighed, "and it has free control over the sea, so that no creature can escape." "That's how his son died: he sank into the sea and then disappeared.
No wonder the giant beast was always pulled into the water when it fought with it, the strength of the giant beast was much greater than it, but it still couldn't break free. Lin Qian recalled the original scene, only to notice that the giant beast at that time seemed to be dragged into the water by an invisible force.
After sailing at sea for about half a day, there was still some distance from the island where the incident occurred, and Potlaim himself went to drag the beast first. I didn't see a boat, I didn't see a float on the water, I just disappeared suddenly, and then there was a ripple of water on the sea. This made Lin Qian sigh for a while: This old guy will pretend to be invisible before acting, which makes people think that he is very mysterious, but in fact, he is just a trick.
"Boy, do you know why he wants to be invisible?" Seeing Lin Qian's expression, the Ten Thousand Soldiers Phantom King probably guessed his thoughts.
"Are you afraid that people will see his routine?" Lin Qian believed that the old guy would not show off for no reason, unless there was a real reason for him to do so.
"Half right. The Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers said with a smile.
"That's ...... Afraid that others will see his ugliness?" Lin Qian simply guessed.
"You kid guessed quite accurately!" the old man was happy, and whispered in Lin Qian's ear, "He is actually urging the things around him to push himself away, do you think about being pushed by a bunch of things behind, how strange it looks to be pushed?"
What a strange old man, Lin Qian smiled and shook his head, as if he hadn't seen him walk much, except for the competition in the magic trial ground that day.
The old man also admired the old guy very much: "He was also forced to be helpless." His body could no longer support it, and he relied on his soul to support it. Although he had never been exposed to those three ancient magics, he had found another way and had almost reached the realm of Lipsus's soul protector. ”
At this time, Potlem urged the water to send himself forward, while sensing any changes that might occur around him, this place has reached the vicinity of the place where the beast was found, and any situation is very dangerous. But Potlime always had to move on the surface of the water, unable to perceive the sea in the depths, and he did not notice a pair of terrifying eyes looking at him from the depths of the sea, and quickly swam towards him.
Neither fast nor slow, he was soon targeted by the beast, and with his perception, he also spotted the beast behind him at this time, forcing him to speed up and move towards the island in front of him. His speed never went to the highest, but hung on the appetite of the beast, allowing the beast to hover between catching up and not being able to catch up.
You can already see the outline of the island in front, as long as you get to the island, you can deal with him, and then the Phantom King of Ten Thousand Soldiers will kill him.
Suddenly, Potlem's speed dropped suddenly, for he saw a fishing boat parked in the sea not far ahead, with a fisherman leading his children fishing, and they were pulling their nets upwards to harvest large fish that could not be lifted in a net.
This is his own people, a people who respect themselves like elders, and they are facing the threat of fierce beasts at this time. Their faces were filled with joy as they pulled up their nets, which might keep them out to sea for a week, or a hearty meal for the family for days to come.
Potlime struggled internally, and in the end, he decided that he couldn't give up on them, even though it would put himself in danger.
The fisherman and his son were struggling to pull the net upwards when they suddenly felt a release of their hands, and the net went straight into the boat. In the midst of their doubts, a gray-haired old man in a green robe and on crutches stood at the bow of their boat. 、
"Great Elder!" the child had never seen it, but the adult did, so he hurriedly saluted excitedly.
"Sit down!" Potolem had to hurry at this time, "The beast is behind!"
The fisherman was startled, and quickly picked up the oar to row.
"I'll let you sit down!" the Grand Elder ordered, and the ship sailed towards the island at breakneck speed.
The beast's perception is also extremely strong, especially in the seawater, and now that Potlaim is on the boat and is not invisible, the beast sees all this in his eyes and follows the ship to speed up.
"Ah, there's something behind!" exclaimed the child, looking at some of the fins peeking out of the water behind him.
"Don't be afraid of the children, there is a great elder here. "The fisherman was also afraid, but thinking that the leaders of the tribe were here, what could not be solved?
For the inhabitants of Nanyang, the Great Elder is a god, an existence that can solve all problems.
Hearing this, Portlem strengthened his determination to save the two men, but the three of them, plus a boat and a shipload full of cargo, slowed down the overall speed, and it seemed that the fins behind him were catching up. The Great Elder knew that if he continued like this, he would only be caught up by the fierce beasts, and he would not be able to reach the island anyway. It seems that there is no way, I can only fight once!
"Hold on!" Potlime seemed to have made up his mind, and suddenly disappeared from the bow of the ship, and the whole ship rushed like an arrow to the island ahead.
"Great Elder!" cried the fisherman with all his might. He was shocked to find a streak of water rippling towards the beast behind him, it was the tribal leader he respected and admired the most, Potlem.
The icy sea water flooded the knees, the waist and abdomen, the chest, and the top of the head...... Until the whole person was completely submerged, and then the cries of the fisherman on the boat, and the screams of the child, could no longer be heard......
