Chapter 140: The Swamp Fishman Who Attacked Fiercely (Part II)
"Click!" When the first sound of ice shattering sounded in Chen Kai's ears, he did not stop the movement in his hand, but used the giant sword in his hand as an ice crusher more quickly. Dig open the ice one by one, and then let the part of the ice that freezes the wheels of the carriage break away from the entire large block of ice.
Chen Kai is not the only one who is operating on the entire ice line, others are also trying to peel off this ice block that is at least five or six meters wide and nearly twenty meters long from the entire ice layer, because this ice block will be an important carrier for Chen Kai and them to leave the swamp.
There is no doubt that the intact ice surface that can float on the water is definitely safer and stronger than the wooden planks attached to the side of the carriage, and for Chen Kai and the others, the only problem with this whole ice layer is the speed at which the ice melts. Although Chen Kai and the others still had some low-level scrolls of freezing spells in their hands, this kind of scroll might be able to freeze a small piece of water, but there was absolutely no way to maintain the continuous freezing of the huge ice layer. If a few elven mages were still able to cast spells at the moment, then Chen Kai and the others would not need to be so depressed, because they only needed to concentrate and strengthen the frost power in the spell scrolls that Chen Kai and the others had stored to make ice, and it was enough to release the spells that maintained the ice surface.
But even so, such a huge ice surface is enough to hold firm on the surface of the water for at least two hours, and two hours, as long as Chen Kai and them are fast enough, they may be able to get out of the sight of the fishmen. Of course, this qiē is all in the case of Shun lì, if not, maybe two hours later, when the ice melts, Chen Kai and they will continue to fall into the swamp lake to swim.
"Come on! I don't want to stay here and feed the fish! Chen Kai held a remnant of the wooden plank in his hand and vigorously pulled the swampy lake water around him, although paddling with a wooden plank was a drop in the bucket for increasing the speed of the ice surface. However, it is always possible to slightly reduce the body consumption of the two wyverns, and adding that force during the acceleration process will undoubtedly make the speed of the entire ice surface a little more reminded, and the speed increase will be obvious after repeated continuation.
"Got it! Chief! Fei Yun replied weakly, in fact, how much he wished for a propeller or a motor now, but unfortunately this qiē was impossible. The only thing he could rely on was his own hand, grabbing the plank and slowly brushing the edge of the ice across the swamp below.
"Shhh It's cold! There is no doubt that the person who said this sentence was wearing an extremely bloated and sitting on the ice, as a native of the black dwarf, Armand did not mean that he had never seen ice, but he definitely had no experience of lying on the ice. Even if the bag on his body is already the same as a bear. But Armand still felt a chill spread from under his ass to his body, but he didn't dare to stomp his feet hard. Because he was afraid that if he stomped his feet too hard, he would crush the ice, and then he fell into the water with a thud. You must know that Armand, or most of the dwarves, are basically landlubbers, and the only result of falling into the water is to sink with a clatter.
Although Armand was sure that he would be scooped up quickly even if he fell into the water, he definitely didn't want to drink a few sips of filthy swamp water, let alone lie wet on the ice, which would kill people. Of course, not all of them were waving planks and acting as oarsmen, at least a few were holding weapons on guard. After all, they didn't know if there were any fish-people who would sneak up on them, and if there was no doubt that the paddling people were definitely the most dangerous.
In fact, what Chen Kai was most worried about was that those fish people were now swimming under the water, and then when the plank fell into the water, he instantly grabbed the plank and dragged the person into the water by the way. Before that, of course, they had to overcome the physical damage of the icy water, and the closer they got to the ice, the cooler the water became. Such a large block of ice, although it is absolutely impossible to reduce the temperature of the surrounding water much during the movement. However, when the water passes through the front and then flows out from the rear, there are always small pieces of crushed ice mixed in. This shows how low the temperature of the water body under the ice surface is after a certain distance of cooling.
Although the surrounding lake water quickly reheats up the cold or even icy water, the water temperature in this area can be quite low for a short period of time. So for a short time, the fish-men could only watch from a distance, without the slightest idea of rushing up and pulling the plank-wielding man into the water. Because there were less than a dozen of them left, these fishmen would never dare to rush up to their deaths again until the large army did not come to their aid. There was no doubt that the freezing storm unleashed by the elven mages had terrified the fishmen to the bone, and the swamp lake was like a bathtub for them to play in. In this wasteland swamp, these fish-people have never been bullied in the swamp, even in the mud swamp, they can easily swim through, but now they are frozen into ice lumps in the most familiar water.
Hundreds of fishmen attacked, but they were frozen into seventy or eighty ice sculptures under a single blow. Only the outermost two dozen or so fish escaped. In this case, coupled with the fact that the captain of the fish-man team led by the team was all gloriously turned into ice mounds, the remaining fish-men naturally did not dare to continue to attack, so they could only send people to swim back to call for reinforcements.
Although the fish-man swims fast, it can take a few minutes to travel a distance of several kilometers and back and forth. In addition, it took a quarter of an hour to gather people, even if it was the fastest, before they could appear behind Chen Kai and them. It's just that at this time, Chen Kai and the others have been in place for a long distance, and the ice cubes are used as boats, which makes Chen Kai move much faster, plus the reason why the plank paddles accelerates. In less than a quarter of an hour, the group moved at least a distance of almost three kilometers. So when those fishmen chased after Chen Kai behind their butts. Another few minutes passed.
Originally, Chen Kai and his team were located in the central area of the entire wasteland swamp, that is, a relatively low-lying place, so as soon as the water came, it was an ocean. But when they gradually left the center of the swamp. The water depth began to slowly decrease. The two-headed flying dragon was no longer playful after being educated, and flew in a straight line almost according to physiological instinct, so it avoided the embarrassment of Chen Kai and them detouring in the swamp. After these journeys, Chen Kai and the others were now very close to the edge of the swamp, and the water under the ice was getting shallower and shallower, and by the time the fishmen appeared behind them, the water surface had become less than a meter.
This situation actually didn't change much for Chen Kai and them, because even if the water depth was only one meter, they could only stay on the ice, but for the fishmen chasing behind, the shallow water meant that they had a higher chance of being discovered. When they approached a few hundred meters behind Chen Kai and the others, the thorns towering above the water surface under the shallow water surface were simply the most obvious signs.
So Fei Yun, who was originally paddling the plank hard, dropped the plank and directly put the heavy crossbow on the ice, and then pulled the trigger, and three trained armor-piercing crossbow arrows shot out in an instant, directly hitting a fishman who jumped out of the water in a positive view and threw a spear. The sharp crossbow bolt pierced the fishman's skull. Knocked the gelatinous brain out of the other person's head.
There is no doubt that the fish-man troops that chased up this time are definitely a large army, and when the number of three or four hundred fish-men emerged from the water, Chen Kai's breathing felt rapid. The only good news was that these fishmen didn't directly approach and throw powerful tridents, otherwise Chen Kai would have had to jump into the swampy lake. Chen Kai estimated that the reason why these fishmen didn't get close was probably still considering the power of the freezing storm, but they didn't know that Chen Kai didn't have the ability to release the same spell again. Several elven mages were now lying in the carriage, and the only elven caster was Evelyn, who was shivering and sneezing with a quilt.
Although this elf girl is full of magic, she can really have few spells to master, and Chen Kai expressed his helplessness about this. If this elf girl is a little more powerful, maybe it will be a pretty good powerful ranged spell unit. It's a pity that the best spells she has mastered are only spawned by natural plants, and it is far better to be a gardener than a mage, and the long-range attack method is a pity that the power is pitiful. There's no doubt that the elf girl is definitely a pacifist. Of course, it was actually because her father, Ilian, didn't teach her many attack spells at all, so as not to get his daughter into trouble for herself.
It's just that the result of this practice is that Evelyn's most powerful long-range attack method is now the poor natural ray, which is less powerful, and after hitting the target, it will cause moss or other plants to grow on the opponent's face. It seems that the effect of mischief is far better than the killing effect, and the elf girl wrapped in a quilt can't even release this natural ray at the moment. Because at the moment, she spends much more time sneezing and runny nose than she spends casting spells, and several times she has been forced to block spells because of sneezing, and she almost backfires herself. Therefore, Chen Kai had no hope for this elf girl, and could only rely on his own strength to repel the attacks of those fishmen.
For the dwarves, the shallow swampy lake water has allowed their declining hit rate to begin to recover significantly, and it can be said that the dwarves' confidence has begun to completely recover as the water becomes shallower. The only problem is that the fishmen are a little farther away, and the dwarves can only use the old dwarven muskets to hit their targets. This musket is far less powerful than the muskets that the black dwarves have modified themselves, and most importantly, this musket is not a monolithic bullet but an ordinary lead bullet.
Powered by crystal gunpowder, lead bullets can fly farther. But the accuracy is just as bad as death. Therefore, at a distance of 100 meters, the dwarves can only shoot with platoon guns, thus increasing the hit rate. It's just that the lethality of lead bullets is really limited, and even if it hits the target, it will only cause less than a thousand losses to the opponent, unless it directly hits the eyeball. Otherwise, the damage is really low.
So don't look at the dwarves shooting hotly, and at the same time, a little blood will appear from time to time in the water area that is hit, but so far the situation is only in a situation where there is only blood but no corpses are floating. However, Fei Yun relied on the terrifying power of the heavy crossbow to shoot at least five fishmen to death in the water.
It's a pity that there are still a lot of fish-people now. Even Chen Kai saw the appearance of those fish-man spellcasters lurking in the water. Although he didn't know what the fish-men were doing with their sticks, the water elements that slowly gathered around him explained the identity of these fish-men with sticks.
"Watch out for spell attacks!" Almost as soon as Chen Kai's reminder was finished, a stream of water full of water elemental aura rushed towards the ice. The rushing water was filled with a terrible impact. It doesn't seem to hurt much, but if you get hit and spit blood, it's the lightest.
The only good news for Chen Kai and the others was that there were only a dozen fish-man spellcasters, and the shallow swampy lake water made these fish-man spellcasters completely exposed to the water when they were spellcasters. So while they were pouring spells, the dwarves began to pour ammunition at them with their rifles. Although the continuous row of guns was not able to kill the fish-man mages, the dwarves who attacked with spells effectively closed the mouths of the fish-man spellcasters with bubbles in their mouths. The only bad news was that a few dwarves didn't store many paper-shell bullets at all, and the platoon guns slowly thinned out after less than three minutes, and finally completely muted fire.
In that time, the dwarves fired at least one hundred and twenty buckshots, but unfortunately they did very little damage, not even a single crispy fish-man spellcaster. The fish people were cut open by bullets. But the problem is that none of the fish-man warriors died because of this, and after a period of testing, these fish-men found that Chen Kai did not seem to have the ability to release spells, so a small group of fish-men began to be sent out to gradually get closer to the ice.
Although it was said to be a small team, looking at the gradually splashing water and the towering thorns, Chen Kai roughly estimated the number and found that it was at least five fingers close to the fish-man. Definitely not five, of course, but a number multiplied by ten. It doesn't seem to be a huge number, the Jedi is relative to the entire fish-man army, and for Chen Kai and the others, even if there are only fifty fish, it is a force that makes Chen Kai frown. Chen Kai's biggest concern was that these fishmen used extremely savage methods, that is, throwing attacks with tridents from a distance.
Fortunately, these fishmen were very cooperative, and they did not use the throwing that made Chen Kai feel scared from a distance of 100 meters, but slowly approached within 100 meters. These fishmen didn't worry about the dwarves' muskets, because the dwarves' muskets didn't do much damage to them at all, but they didn't notice that all the dwarves had changed their weapons at the moment. Originally, all the old muskets were stuffed into the space bag by them. Then in his hand were the new muskets made by these dwarven musketeers themselves, that is, the dwarven muskets with high power and short range.
Although the range of these muskets is a bit problematic, when these fishmen get closer, there is no doubt that they are within the range of these powerful muskets. If they were still hiding in the water, the dwarves might be on the spot, but most of the fishmen were charging with their waking heads, and they were easy targets to aim at. So with a burst of fierce gunfire, the fishmen who were originally charging fell seven or eight in an instant.
It's just that the dense gunfire did not stop these fish-men, but made them more ferocious. The fishmen began to disperse their charges with an extremely eerie vortex sound, and the weapons in their hands began to wave. There is no doubt that the weapons in the hands of these fishmen are definitely not the disposal items that Chen Kai and the others sold, because Chen Kai has inspected those tridents, which are definitely of excellent quality, at least green quality or even blue quality weapons.
A swamp fish-man kingdom capable of equipping hundreds of warriors with sophisticated weapons. Chen Kai didn't think he would take a fancy to his garbage. Similarly, although these fishmen did not hold a trident in their hands, the long knives that emitted cold light were also high-quality.
"These guys should be made into grilled fish!" Chen Kai's eyes flashed with anger, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything about the fish-man who roared and rushed over. There is no doubt that these fish people are cannon fodder, although they look very strong, but the ultimate purpose of their rush up is to test Chen Kai and whether they still have that terrible spell in their hands. If so, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice these fishmen. If not, then congratulations, the next step is a more intensive charge. Because even if these cannon fodder fish people are garbage, they can definitely rush to Chen Kai and them to tremble. Even if Chen Kai was going to leave the spell and use it on the fishman behind, it would be impossible for him to envelop himself in the scope of the spell.
The problem was that Chen Kai no longer had the spell scroll in his hand. If there were, it would have been smashed on the door of these fish-men's brains a long time ago. Of course, although there was no spell scroll, he still waved his hand to signal He Liwen and Bai Shasha to prepare. As the fish-men approached the ice floe, a layer of black grease wafted on the surface of the water around them. When these fish-people approached like crazy. He Liwen's fingers pointed directly, and then a large cobweb directly covered these fish people. Of course, the effect of the cobweb technique in the water is definitely a discount of I don't know how much, but I only need to buy some time for Bai Shasha, and He Liwen's purpose is to do it.
When the raging flames rolled in, the fishmen finally understood what the black water floating around them was, it was oil and fire oil. There is no doubt that Bai Shasha has completed what Chen Kai hoped for, turning all these fish people into grilled fish, although it is only outside the scorch, and most of the fish people are still alive when the scorching flames disappear, but everyone knows that these fish people will not last long. You must know that although the temperature generated by the flame shock wave released by Bai Shasha cannot be compared with the dragon breath of the two flying dragons, it is also a scorching flame of several hundred degrees, directly heating the temperature of the surrounding water to the point of boiling, not to mention, it also vaporized the nearby ice layer by nearly three or four centimeters.
