Chapter 013: Humanoid Monsters
With his palm left the crystal ball of true knowledge, Yang Jiangong judged that Cicero would return to Loel Cardin within a month.
At the moment, the most important thing on his hand is to personally check the source of the Rapids, because the water of the Rapids River has recently been abnormal, causing many people to get sick.
Two days later. The sound of flowing water in his ears is extremely clear, and Yang Jiangong stands here and sees that he loves you in this deep recess, a small lake has been formed, and in the cracks of the surrounding stones, clean groundwater is almost everywhere.
But what caught his attention was not the deep spring, but the monster that was basking in the sun lying on a clean rock in front of the spring!
Yang Jiangong couldn't tell if it was a toad or something.
All you can see is that its face is long and gilled, and its whole body is covered with dazzling scales like steel sheets.
He is only half the height of a human, but he has a human-like body and limbs. Underneath the armpits, and between the fingers, there is a large amount of membrane attached.
"It doesn't matter if it's a toad or a humanoid monster. Grab it first! ”
Yang Jiangong waved his hand, and the outflanking Silver Dragon Knight began to approach slowly and silently.
When there was a strange noise, the monster had just opened its eyes, and it was greeted by Achilles' fists as big as punching bags.
Several knights rushed up and crackled! A beating!
By the time it was time to drag it in front of Yang Jiangong, this fat monster couldn't even stand up.
"Humble human, let me go. It's the stupidest thing to provoke the fish-man pirates! ”
Yang Jiangong ignored the monster's yelling.
The two Ying Dragons actually turned it over and lay on the ground. Yang Jiangong saw the eye-catching fin on its back.
Seeing the fins, the corners of Achilles' mouth instantly outlined a strange smile, and he smiled at the other silver dragon knights and asked, "You say, this thing doesn't look like a mutated big fish with limbs." ”
"I just don't know what the fish tastes like."
The knight's response. Immediately caused a burst of laughter from the others. "I want its arms." "I want its eyeballs." "I want something for it to pee." "Hahahaha......"
What's more, they have already pulled out their portable knives and immediately want to disembowel this 'big fish'.
I heard all kinds of ill-intentioned laughter all around. And seeing the fierce expression on Achilles' face, the fish monster immediately felt a wave of horror.
It rolled its frightened, egg-sized eyes and kept looking into the crevice in the stone not far away.
Be aware of this.
Not for a while. Achilles was there from the crack in the stone. He took out a fork-like weapon and presented it to Yang Jiangong.
"This ......"
The heaviness of the hand made Yang Jiangong feel surprised. This fork-like weapon, from the blade to the long handle, is made entirely of materials that resemble iron but are not iron.
And the texture of the fork, as well as the degree of hardness, is not weak at all.
Achilles, who was next to him, looked at the fork and then looked at the fish monster carefully. Then he suddenly pulled out his dagger and slashed at the fish monster's bright scales.
This dagger was slashed and slashed. It provoked a spark splash, but the other party's fish scales eventually collapsed only a small piece, and Achilles' dagger had a big gap.
The fish monster was half frightened to death, but its body was unharmed.
It can be seen from the small piece of fish scales that have collapsed, revealing a white, soft belly.
There is no doubt that this fish scale is not something it was born with. Rather, it is a precision armor in the shape of fish scales, which is as light and thin as clothes, and has defensive properties that are not inferior to ordinary armor.
"What are you?" Yang Jiangong asked.
The other party's reply was, "Let me go, or you'll regret it." ”
Answering the question completely, Achilles cast a look to the side, and the fish monster immediately suffered.
Not only had it received a solid punch, but the knight's dagger had been handed between its legs.
"If you don't want to be cut, I'll say whatever I ask you. I didn't ask you, so don't say anything. ”
"Now I ask you, where did you get your weapon, and this fish scale armor?"
Questioned heard. The fish monster replied, "Well, this is the weaponry of our Fish-Man Water Pirates. Obtain it from the Underground Race through bartering trade! ”
"Underground races?"
Yang Jiangong was deeply curious about the words of this water thief.
After some psychic exchanges, the information he got from the fish monster was roughly as follows.
The water pirates are notorious for their livelihood by plundering cargo ships on the river and the seafood of the sea, as well as trading with some land races.
In layman's terms, the pirates are a gang similar to pirates. Even more vile than the average pirate, because they are humanoids that live in the ocean, can pass through rivers and even underground rivers unimpeded, and if provoked by them, they can cause unexpected trouble.
Fish-people can't stay on land for long, but they're ugly creatures with a narrow mind, and they have a lot of ways to retaliate, such as poisoning human water!
Given this information, Achilles was puzzled. "Since you are water thieves, why did you end up alone at the end of the river?"
The fish monster rolled its eyes and didn't answer, but it didn't expect that it had been betrayed by its expression.
That's a race that is good at mining and striking iron. And just below the mountains here, there is an underground world where a mysterious race lives that is more skilled than the dwarven forge.
As for this fish monster, why did it appear here alone? Probably because of the deep spring behind it, which is connected to an underground river.
After soaking in the underground river for more than two months, it didn't see the sun, so much so that it wanted to come out and take a breath of fresh air, but it didn't expect to be caught.
Leak these secrets, and this fish monster will be faced. Punishment for being skinned by water thieves.
It was precisely because of this thought that the fish monster did not dare to continue answering Cicero's question.
"Rest assured, your companion will not be punished for divulging secrets. Because, I didn't think I'd let you go back! ”
Yang Jiangong directly said what the fish monster was thinking. Then his face turned cold, and he ordered to the left and right, "Take it back to Lol Cardin." ”
………………
Back to Lol Cardin.
Considering that the king would not allow the fish monster's life to be accidental, a few of the guarded Radiant soldiers took matters into their own hands, pouring a large amount of cold water into the trench, and throwing a few long worms such as earthworms down. It's like a big fish to raise!
When Yang Jiangong came to the water prison, he looked at the fish monster soaked in the water, the two slightly bulging black fish eyes. It seems to contain infinite grievances.
At this time, the plug on the fish monster's mouth was removed, and it was not seen to continue to make a piercing and strange sound.
It can be seen that in the hands of these soldiers in charge of guarding, they should suffer. It didn't pull down at all.
saw Yang Jiangong present in person. The fish monster immediately rose from the trench, leaving only half of its body soaked in the puddle.
It opened its big mouth and wanted to say something, but when it saw the fierce-looking soldier next to it, it quickly closed the big mouth again.
Then he stayed there and didn't dare to say a word, only showing two pitiful innocent eyes.
It seems that this thing has been rectified quite lightly.
Fortunately, that is exactly the effect that Yang Jiangong expected.
"Open the cell and let it out!"
I watched the guards open the water prison. And let it out, and a look of surprise immediately rose on the face of the fish monster.
It writhed its fat body. rushed to Yang Jiangong's side, like a stray dog that suddenly found its owner.
The fish monster's behavior did not seem to be unexpected, but it startled the soldiers on the side.
King Lolcadin, the Radiant Emperor, is there anything that can be approached if he wants to?
Even if this thing is not a threat to our king, what if it is accidentally bitten by it?
In the next moment, if Yang Jiangong hadn't hurriedly shouted to stop it, the fish monster would have been chopped up at the first time.
"From now on, it's not a captive, it's ...... Our guests. ”
As long as this stupid fish monster can understand.
Sure enough, the fish monster listened to Yang Jiangong's words, and was moved as if he had met its savior, and his mind remembered the suffering it had suffered in the past two days, and tears and snot fell down one by one.
It stands to reason that as a well-known leader of water thieves, he shouldn't have been like this.
He didn't know until Cicero had inquired about it. "It turns out that the sister of this cargo married the head of the pirate group and made a position as a small boss by virtue of nepotism."
"Dare to love it, it's the brother-in-law of the pirate leader."
Originally, Yang Jiangong was just thinking about taking out the passage to the mysterious underground kingdom from its mouth.
But knowing this important information, he wants to go further!
"Dear Mr. Danny Octavos!"
The name of the fish monster is just different, probably longer than its name!
This is the only feeling Yang Jiangong has when he says this.
But to the ears of the fish monster, this sentence is not an ordinary use, it is quite useful.
However, the taste of the whip is still fresh in my memory, and the fish monster does not dare to get carried away. "Oh, Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, or if you have any questions, you can ask me directly."
The modesty of the fish monster, as well as the taming, made Yang Jiangong stunned. "It seems that after this incident, the two guards must be rewarded heavily."
"Promote them to warden. Well, that's it! ”
Yang Jiangong didn't bother to go around in circles anymore, but just as he was about to ask a question, there was a thunderous sound from the belly of the fish monster.
If this voice was quieter, Yang Jiangong could still pretend not to hear it, but the problem was that it was like blowing a rallying trumpet, and even a sentinel a hundred steps away could hear it.
There is no way, the scene still needs to be placed.
Let's put the conversation aside, then let's eat first.
When you are full, if you still don't get on the road, you can simply peel and dry it to make dried fish!
Yang Jiangong took special care of it and made a set of hearty lunches that Mr. Danny likes to eat.
This stumped the kitchen staff, and His Majesty's personal instructions were no small felt. But what can a big fish like to eat?
A plate of long insects, a plate of beetles, a plate of insects that even Yang Jiangong couldn't recognize what kind of insects, and when the attendant brought these three big dishes to the fish monster, its ugly face was as uncomfortable as eating.
You don't have to be a fish-like creature, you like to eat fish. At least half of it is humanoid, not. According to the meaning of the fish monster, Yang Jiangong asked people to change the table for lunch.
"Well, raw meat, beans, and vegetables."
It would have been a table of raw stuff.
But when I got to the fish monster, the feeling changed.
It stared at a table of delicacies that appeared out of thin air, its mouth wide open, and it wanted to say something but couldn't. It looks like it's stunned, and it's like it's frightened.
"Isn't it enough?"
Seeing the stunned performance of the fish monster, Yang Jiangong waved his hand, and the food on the table was added to the extra layer.
"You, are you really a god?"
Suddenly hearing such a question, Yang Jiangong felt angry and funny. If he hadn't used this thing, he would have wanted to chop it up.
"Yes, sort of. I can give eternal life to anyone. ”
Saying such big words, even Yang Jiangong himself felt red. At the same time, he thought of not being able to give Xiaorou eternal life, which made him faintly heartbroken.
"What else can you do?"
Intrigued by what he heard from the guard, the two big eyes of the fish monster began to sparkle.
"There's not much I can do, but I can see what a lot of people can't see and help him get what he wants."
"What is your greatest wish, Mr. Danny Octavos?" Hearing Yang Jiangong's words, the fish monster immediately became interested.
Stop, this thing is to be able to climb to the position of the deputy head of the thief group, and then you can marry Miss 'Camel Isolt'.
Oh, Isolt the camel, the fish monster with that name must be uglier than a pig!
No matter what thoughts he had in his heart, Yang Jiangong behaved calmly and calmly, walked over, and gently patted the fish monster on the shoulder.
Compared with Yang Jiangong's calmness and calmness, as soon as he heard the name of 'Miss Camel', the fish monster was not calm at all.
I saw that it threw away the food in its hand that it hadn't had time to put into its mouth, stared at Yang Jiangong with its eyes, and instantly touched his trouser leg and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?" As long as I can marry Isolt the camel, I am willing to do whatever you tell me to do! ”
This product is really not an ordinary cheap, at least there is no fish grid. However, it happened to be in Yang Jiangong's arms.
Dig a hole and jump in, who can blame it? It's no wonder that its lifelong pursuit is the 'Miss Camel'.
"As long as you do what I say, I will surely let you marry that beautiful camel Miss Isolt."
At the corners of Yang Jiangong's mouth, a trace of evil smile was outlined.
For a whole afternoon, Yang Jiangong had a secret conversation with the fish monster in the wooden house, and as for the content of their secret agent, others did not know.
"Officer of the Guard!"
Hearing Yang Jiangong's call, the king's bodyguard immediately pushed the door in.
"Return this Mr. Danny's equipment, and you will personally escort Mr. Danny back to where it came!"
On the other hand, the fish monster had a satisfied expression on his face, and when he went out, he deliberately glanced at the guard officer, and then walked out triumphantly. (To be continued......)
