The crowd turned and looked nervously at the pitch-black opposite. Felder drew his sword and stood in front of the crowd, Simpson standing beside him with a torch.

The strange screams were getting closer and closer, and a group of dwarf creatures surrounded several people, and it was a little funny to walk from side to side. They seem to be a little afraid of fire, and shout loudly about seven or eight meters around.

These creatures are small in stature and appear to be no more than a meter, and their rickety bodies also affect their height. The blue and green skins are patterned with various colors, and even stranger is that they all have a fish-like head.

Vane immediately thought of the fish-man introduced in "Observations of the Wizarding World". The Fish-People are an ancient and primitive race that lives in groups around water sources, has a certain IQ, has weak individual abilities, and often hunts other fish and small exotic beasts in coordination to survive.

The group of fishmen stood there with all sorts of weapons, harpoons, spears, knives, and sticks, shouting in some unknown language.

The crowd was on guard and confronted the fishmen, not knowing what they were up to.

At this moment, a dark green fish-man with black stripes came out of the crowd of fish, and the other fish-people immediately quieted down. It spoke, "Who are you? No human has been here in a long time. "The fish-man actually uses the lingua franca.

Vane softened and said, "We're here in search of something important, a friend who got lost here. ”

"Human, I'm a tribal priest, we can help you find that treasure, but you must give us some food in exchange. The dark green fish-man said.

Eventually, they made a deal with the fishmen, promising to give them some dried fruit and bread – they would not eat cured meat.

"Now that our agreement is in effect, human, we will take you back what you lost. But we need to get out of here as soon as possible, and I suggest you put out that fire, we're not the only ones here. The dark green fish-man looked at Simpson with bulging eyes.

The flames weren't as strong as they had been at the beginning, and Simpson simply stuck the torch upside down into the dirt pile. As it was too dark to move forward, Vane took out some of the spider silk and gave it to everyone. One of the auxiliary effects of spider silk is to provide night vision for a period of time, although it is said, but the actual effect is relatively poor, and it can only be regarded as better than nothing. Soon the crowd could already see the silhouette of an object within a few meters of them, and they left a passage after the fish-man.

After passing through a tortuous cavern passage, the group came to an even more open underground cavern, and in front of them was a lake.

"We're going to have to cross the rock wall ahead from beneath this body of water to reach our tribe. All the waters here are connected, you better move quickly and try not to make a sound, you don't want to see anything in the water. The dark green fish-man said. Then the fish people walked forward and entered the water one by one.

The black water surface doesn't know where it stretches, and it makes people feel a little palpitating when they look at it. Only Vane and Ace couldn't swim, Felder took Vane with him, and Simpson swam slowly forward with Ace.

The fish people swam very fast, and a dozen small figures were already blurred, and they were about to pass under the rock wall. Suddenly, a huge shadow rushed out from beneath the rock face.

The shadow approached quickly, opened its mouth and swallowed the fish-man in front, the poor fish-man didn't seem to be enough to stuff his teeth, and in an instant the blood spread in the lake. The nearby fish-men began to scream wildly, swimming forward at an accelerated pace. With his own speed, Shadow swallowed several more fishmen in an instant.

Vane felt his Felder body pull to a halt abruptly, and several people held their breath on their faces as they gathered together. Seeing that the slaughter in front of him was nearing its end, Vane pointed to it, and everyone thought upward.

"Wayne, what should I do? Felder said in alarm, putting his head out of the water, his face covered in water. Several others also floated up, including the dark green fish-man.

"It's too late to swim back now, I hope this scroll is useful. After Vane finished speaking, he took out a white parchment scroll from his bag, waved his staff with his right hand, and a strong magic fluctuation seemed to form around him, and the scroll disappeared in an instant.

"Vane, is this ......" Ace's fearful voice was full of surprise.

"That's right, don't make a sound. Vane whispered. This is a magic scroll of the invisibility of high-level dark magic groups, and the person who can make this kind of scroll is at least a high-level magician, and the scroll used by Vane is from the hand of a great magician.

A huge shadow in the distance was approaching, and Vane's heart was pounding, he wasn't sure if this group of invisibility techniques would be able to escape the eyes of that huge shadow.

The huge shadow was like a large ship in the water, and as it swam past them, it was like a gust of wind in the water, and Vane felt his body shake involuntarily. As if sensing their presence, the shadows refused to leave, swimming back and forth in the vicinity.

Several people were huddled together, and they didn't even dare to breathe, and their whole bodies floated stiffly in the water. The shadow almost swam close to them, and Vane saw palm-sized scales, sharp teeth, huge soles, and a thick tail that reminded him of a legendary creature, the crocodile.

Just as Ise was about to faint from being frightened, the crocodile left quickly with its tail swinging.

The group remained motionless in the icy water for at least a few minutes, making sure that the crocodile had left, before dragging their tired bodies to the shore across the rock wall. The dark green fish-man seems to have gotten to the point of seeing it, and according to it, it has reached a safer area after passing the waters.

"I really thought I was going to die, I never thought there would be such a big crocodile. Felder said, slumping to the gravel. He seems to have become a little numb from the shock he has received too much recently.

"It should be a crocodile, it is said to be a variant created by the combination of a crocodile and a dragon, of course, there is no evidence for this statement, this strange beast looks more like a crocodile. Vane said. But his heart was full of questions, could this be the demon mentioned in the diary?

After a short rest, everyone set off for the fish-man's tribe. The ancient elf-style buildings seem to blend in with the natural caves here, and traces of architecture can be found in the caves from time to time, and when you enter a "building", you find that you have come to a cave.

After passing through two or three connected caves, the group came to an open natural cave, and this cave ** was faintly shining with some light.

Several fishmen who looked like guards stopped Vane and the others with spears, and after the dark green fishmen muttered a few words to them, the guards let Vane and the others go. The group was led by a dark green fish-man along a somewhat muddy path into the cave.

The cave was noisy and noisy, full of simple shacks made of tree branches, and some lamps made of unknown ones emitted dim light. Numerous "cave houses" have also been dug into the walls of the caves on both sides. All sorts of fish-people walk through it, and it looks like a humble human village.

After bypassing several shacks and being watched by the fish people in turn, the group came to a cave house in the deepest part. The gate was wide open and looked much larger than the other cave houses, and the door frame was made of logs, which were more than a meter high. After the dark green fish-man communicated with the guards at the door, the group followed it inside.

This may be the largest cave house in the fish-man tribe, but Felder and the others still have to bow their heads to enter the door. After entering the cave house, everyone's eyes lit up, of course, it was not how beautiful the cave house was, but that there were two magic energy lamps inside!
