Chapter 68 Investigative Mission
Originally, Levi had already prepared the funds to buy a mount for Hua Meisi, but since she had other arrangements and wanted to wait for Xiaobai to grow up, Levi saved the money, so he went directly to the barracks to recruit four second-order archers, plus two second-order halberders, to further enrich his strength.
He had already noticed a slight deviation in his previous thoughts, he just wanted to save enough money as soon as possible, and then complete the task of Huames, but if he used the money to strengthen his strength first, he could also harvest more loot, and he had already tasted the benefits of personnel growth, if he didn't have those new subordinates joining him yesterday, he would definitely not be able to deal with that raging shark man.
In fact, Levi originally wanted to go to the tavern to recruit, because compared to the soldiers in the barracks, the troops in the tavern are more abundant, and the intelligence level is slightly higher. But he went in and walked around, but he didn't find any suitable candidates, and he had no choice but to settle for the next best.

Garrisoned, when they stay in place, their attack speed and accuracy are slightly increased.
(Although gunpowder weapons have long been spread around the world, archers are still an important part of most city and village guards.) )
In terms of attributes alone, archers and crossbowmen are almost the same, but their skills are different, archers are missing an armor-piercing skill, but when they stay in place, they will increase their attack speed and hit rate, but the specific effect depends on the performance in actual combat.
After saying hello to the mysterious wanderer who had been standing at the entrance of the village early, Levi led his subordinates straight to the refresh point of the White River Fishmen, and he had a clear goal this time.
According to the information of the Holy Maiden, there was absolutely no such thing as a shark man in the White River, and the only possibility was that they migrated from other places.
Considering that it was almost impossible for a creature like a shark-man to move on land, Levi set his sights on a river far wider than the White River: the Grismeri River, which straddled several dukedoms of the Bretonnian Kingdom and was directly connected to the southern ocean of the Knights' Kingdom, was also the main river of the White River.
In the process of advancing, Levi and others continued to encounter the attacks of the White River fish, but now Levi's strength has reached the level of crushing them, often a volley of the archers is enough to kill an enemy, and when they finally rush up, they have to face the Huames and others who are waiting for the battle, and then they are solved like chopping melons and vegetables, the whole process is incredible, so that Levi feels very happy, and it is really not in vain to spend these recruitment money.
After solving another group of White River Fishmen, while the hunter John was busy collecting the loot, Levi suddenly noticed that the river not far away had a very obvious abnormality: at first it was just a small whirlpool that appeared out of thin air, but soon it quickly expanded into a flowing water whirlpool with a diameter of more than three meters, the dark blue whirlpool and the clear water formed a fairly obvious contrast, and this whirlpool seemed to be constantly emitting a faint light.
It was the first time Levi had encountered such a situation: "What's going on? He looked around, only to find that all his men were at a loss, apparently as unaware as he was.
After visually inspecting the distance between the flowing whirlpool and the river bank, Levi decided to take a little risk, after all, it was only a dozen meters away, and as long as he was careful, he would be able to rush back quickly.
After thinking about it for a moment, Levi took out a rather ugly ring with a fish's head from his space bag - the low-level fishman ring.
"Boost your dive time by 3 minutes, and even if something happens, it's enough for me to run back." This was the trophy he had from the first encounter with these fish-men, and he had gotten a few later, and Levi had planned to scrape together a few more and then take the time to sell them together, but he didn't expect it to come in handy here now.
After taking the low-level Fishman Ring, Levi issued the latest order to his troops: "The ranged troops are all ready, alert for the enemy that may appear, and everyone else is on the shore and ready to support me at any time." I'll leave it to you for the time being. ”
Although Varmez has not yet become an official hero, Levi has given her all the halberds, and so far, the other party has performed well.
Hearing this, Hua Meisi nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, Levi!" ”
After nodding again, Levi stepped in, and the slightly cold river instantly submerged most of his body, Levi took two more steps, and the river finally submerged his entire body. But between his mouth and nose, a transparent cover about ten centimeters in diameter appeared out of thin air, giving Levi a considerable amount of air to save him from suffocation.
Levi felt a little satisfied, although the appearance was indeed ugly, but the practicality of this ring was still good, maybe he could keep a few more.
But soon Levi muttered in his heart: Why can't even elite troops equip something like a ring? If they could, they wouldn't need to go out in person, the only thing that could equip such a thing was Huameisi, and he was a little reluctant to let her go down the river, after all, she was just a little girl, hey...
Before Levi could finish complaining, he noticed that the river had fluctuated quite significantly, and a few meters away, the pale blue water split very abruptly, and moved straight towards him...
"Bang!" With a muffled sound, Levi's body immediately involuntarily leaned back, and at the same time, a white number floated on his head, he was attacked, it was an enemy!
Levi hurriedly retreated, but the pale blue enemy in the river did not let Levi go, and with the sound of rushing water, it, no, should it be them.
Several creatures with roughly human appearances on their upper bodies, barely able to distinguish two arms and a head, and their lower bodies connected to the river, fluttered in the river and continued to chase Levi.
Levi continued to retreat, until he was completely out of the river and stood beside his men, and then he calmed down a little, which had really taken him by surprise.
But after seeing the faces of these enemies clearly, Levi settled down a little, although it was the first time he encountered this kind of enemy in this game, but in other games, Levi had seen this kind of enemy, and their level was generally not much higher, and the damage value he had just received also confirmed Levi's conjecture.
