Chapter 41: The Fish-Man Tribe
Directly opposite Vane was a rough wicker chair against the wall, which looked like a child sitting, and at this moment, a blue, somewhat blackened fish-man was sitting leisurely on the chair, holding a metal scepter in his right hand and flapping it on his left hand. The silver-white scepter is carved with delicate patterns and patterns, and the top of the metal sphere is set with large green gemstones.
The dark green fish-man ran up and muttered something to the blue-black fish-man.
"Vane, could that fish-man be holding the Prophet's Scepter?" asked Elena.
"I don't know, but I think it's going to be eight or nine. Vane said, staring at the scepter.
The two fish-men were talking louder and louder, and there seemed to be an argument. Then the blue-black fishman screamed, and two fish-man guards with knives at the door walked in, twisted the dark green fish-man's hands behind his back, and pushed him out.
The crowd was wondering as the dark green fishman yelled at them, "Run, Chief, he's going to take all your food!"
Immediately after that, a group of fish-man soldiers with weapons ran in from the entrance of the cave and surrounded several people, and for a while the two sides were tense.
"Fish-people are such untrustworthy bastards. Felder gritted his teeth with a steel broadsword in his hand.
The fish-man patriarch ignored Feld's complaints, and with a wave of its webbed palm, the fish-man soldiers rushed forward with a whining cry. Although these fishmen were short, their movements were swift and powerful, and Felder raised his sword to stab it, but was shaken by the fishmen's slash.
"Don't resist, give them food, there are too many fish people here. Vane said. In fact, there is no need for him to say that they have no ability to resist now, and everyone has been put on their necks with knives and guns. Two fish-man soldiers stepped forward and snatched Simpson's bag, then rummaged through the side.
The group was escorted by a dozen fish-man soldiers to a nearby cave house. The cave was small, with a rudimentary wooden door with locks on the outside, and several people almost bent down to get into it under the threat of a dozen weapons. There was a "click" and the door was locked.
"We've let this lowly creature snatch the package and keep it in this dark, damp cavern!" Felder exclaimed, irritating.
"I have a way to escape, but the Fish-Man Chief's room is heavily guarded, and I'm afraid it's hard to get the package back, so we can wait for the Fish-Man to let their guard down......" Vane told several of them about his plan.
As he spoke, there were several sudden and muffled noises outside, and the entire cavern vibrated slightly, and Vane felt a small clod of dirt fall down his neck into his clothes.
"There's an earthquake? I don't want to die here, my knighthood hasn't taken place yet. Feld said with a little jump.
Outside has become chaotic, with all kinds of voices coming and going.
"Now is our chance......" Before Wayne's words were finished, Simpson had already kicked on the wooden door, probably too hard, and with a "poof" sound, the wooden door flew out of the wall two or three meters away and fell to the ground.
“......”
However, there was a lot of chaos outside, and a large number of fish-men were screaming and running, and from time to time fish-men ran past them in panic, and no one noticed them at all. Vane and the others quickly moved along the wall in the direction of the Fish-Man Chief's cave house.
The fish-man guards who had been standing guard at the doorway were nowhere to be found, and Felder looked over to see that the cave was empty. The bags were unpacked and fell to the ground, the food was piled up separately, and everything else was scattered all over the floor. Everyone hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to leave.
As soon as they walked out of the cave house, the blue-black fish-man was followed by a group of green fish-man soldiers running from the front, led by the fish-man patriarch.
The enemy was very red when they met, but now it was the fish-man patriarch, Vane and the others who just wanted to escape. The Fish-Man Soldier screamed and rushed towards them, and Vane smashed a pre-prepared fireball spell into the face of the Fish-Man who rushed to the front, and it fell to the ground with a scream, and the other Fish-Man froze in place. Several people ran without hesitation. But in just one breath, the fish screamed and chased after them.
The cave ** was still in chaos, and the fish-man soldiers who were chasing behind were slowed down by the panicked fishmen. Simpson rushed to the front, like a rolling boulder, knocking the fishmen in front of him into the air, and Ace and Vane also used magic to block the fishmen soldiers' tracks.
The crowd had already rushed to the entrance of the cave, and they didn't know what was happening, the ground had become pitted, and there were at least twenty or so fish-man corpses lying on the ground. The crowd did not dare to stay, and accelerated back along the route they had come.
The strange sounds of the fishmen kept coming from behind, and after passing through a cavern passage and a few rudimentary spells before, Vane was already out of breath and lightheaded. There was already a sound of water running ahead, and Vane gritted his teeth and ran forward.
Soon the crowd was approaching the previous waters. The bottomless waters looked darker than the surroundings, and with the crocodile that had appeared before, no one dared to get any closer to it.
"I can't run anymore, so I might as well give them something. Felder said as he stuck his sword on the ground and held on to the hilt.
"Are you stupid? We'll starve to death if we can't even get out of here. Elena bent over her knees, panting for air.
The fish-man soldier had arrived in the blink of an eye. At least twenty fish-men surrounded the group with weapons raised, no screams, no other movements, as if waiting for something. After waiting for a while, the blue-black fish-man patriarch followed from behind. Its physical strength was obviously inferior to that of these fish-man soldiers, and after such a period of tossing, it walked tremblingly.
"That...... The thing ran past my feet again. Elena's voice trembled a little, and after a pause, she continued, "It seems to be a round thing." ”
"Hey, when has this been, you're still thinking about that strange mouse. Felder said angrily, raising his sword and staring nervously at the fishmen around him.
The fish-man patriarch walked slowly to a few soldiers, muttering something, and immediately a few fish-man soldiers stepped forward and forcibly took away everyone's weapons and bags, Felder was slashed in the leg because of resistance, the wound was not deep, but it was still bleeding, and Ace hurriedly used magic to stop the bleeding for him.
The Fish-Man Patriarch screamed louder and louder, and seemed to be getting very angry. Afterwards, several merfolk soldiers took out a few brown rattans and forcibly tied everyone's hands and legs.
At this time, several fish-people on the other side of the water made a gap, and the fish-man patriarch walked over the crowd to the gravel ground in front of them, holding the silver scepter with webbed claws, pointing at Vane and the others and shouting loudly.
"They're going to feed us to the crocodiles......" Ace whined and cried quietly. The crowd was silent. After fighting with the fish-man soldiers just now, several people knew that they couldn't compete with them combined, not to mention that they didn't have weapons now.
The fish-man soldiers began to force their group to stride toward the water's edge. Is it really going to die here? This irresistible despair made Vane's whole body cold.
"Ah......h At this time, the fish-man patriarch was swept into the air more than ten meters in the air and was struggling desperately.
