Chapter 691: A Trip to the Swamp (20)

The face of the fish man is already ugly and hideous, and it is even more difficult to see it now!

Even, his eyes began to bleed and turned reddish.

It seems that there is some terrible curse on him, as soon as he says something about the fish-man, he will attack!

"Click!" His mouth snapped frantically, and more fishy and sticky mucus flowed out of his mouth, and finally, red and black blood flowed out!

"Nope! Yes! Say! The fish-man puffed out his eyes, and finally squeezed out such a sentence, and then, his whole body stiffened.

He's dead.

A few of us looked at each other.

Vincent frowned: "Things, more troublesome than we thought......"

I said, "Then we'll have to find out!" ”

I didn't hesitate any longer, and walked along the path Gillette had just walked.

Soon, we came to the dead trees and reeds where the fish-people were captured, and several fish-people were looking for them.

We rushed straight over, to be exact, four combat classes rushed out, while a few of us from the legal system followed, beware of the fishmen's ranged attacks and escapes.

Speaking of which, it's like a tin Kodomon rushing into a flock.

The fish-man tribe was caught off guard, there were great casualties, the whole tribe was full of panic and panic "quack" screams, the only one who could form a little resistance was the fish-man warriors, but these guys who were stronger than ordinary fish-people couldn't stop our team at all.

The leader who appeared in the end was a special mutant, even as tall as Gillian, half a head taller than Vincent as a human.

The leader was followed by an old fishman with a wooden staff, but he was not shorter than Vincent when he was straight, and this was of course the witch doctor of the fish-man tribe.

Witch doctors are similar to orc wizards and priests, but at best they are of the lowest level.

For the fishmen, with such two "strong men" in charge, the entire tribe will be stable.

Unfortunately, this stability must be broken.

The leader of the Fishmen is a formidable warrior, but a simple backstab from Shadowless Gillette reduced his combat power to zero.

The leader of the fish-people was stabbed in the back of the neck by a black gold dagger, and the connection between his entire body and his head was almost broken, and he collapsed directly on the ground.

The fish-man witch doctor was so clever that when he saw this scene, he quickly shook the wooden staff in his hand.

Then, a large mist began to rise on the ground, obscuring our view.

As soon as I saw that he was about to take the opportunity to escape, I kicked a broken beast bone on the ground.

The beast bones shot into the mist, the old fishman let out a scream of "quack", and the Tyrannosaurus rex directly spewed out a fire, dispelling the mist, revealing the figure of the old fishman rolling on the ground with his legs.

The Fish-Man Tribe, defeated.

As for the fleeing fishmen, they naturally could not escape the long-range pursuit of the eagle people, kobolds, arguers, and Vincent.

After the battle, we interrogated the Fishman Leader and the Fishman Witch Doctor.

This time, I asked about some unexpected gains.

However, the content is unsurprisingly related to underground sewers.

A group of merfolk from the underground waterways help the nearby fishmen spawn more awakened people, the so-called mutant fishmen, and those who become abnormal are expelled to attack other creatures in the swamp.

Normal mutant fishmen will obey them, expand the size of the tribe, and breed more people, and at the same time, the merfolk seem to be trying to keep secrets, so the merfolk have taken voodoo similar to the five rangers, and as long as the secret is leaked during interrogation, they will die violently.

As for whether the mermaid is going to launch a fish-man counterattack on human land, several of us think that it may not be big, but more, we can't analyze it.

At this time, I would have liked to listen to Leo's advice, but unfortunately he couldn't be disturbed.

So, I had to go underwater and have a look.

A few people were a little worried, but they didn't dare to object, but it was a Tyrannosaurus rex, which was not easy to appease.

"Stay here and wait for me to come up!" I said it several times before the Tyrannosaurus rex reluctantly agreed and asked me to prepare a barbecue for it.

With the arrangements in place, I turned into an otter and dived into the water.

The fish-man tribe is on the edge of a lake, the lake water is quite muddy, although I have become an otter, I am also a little uncomfortable, and I searched for a long time before I was caught by the fish-man captive about the "skeleton".

I was surprised to see a skeleton no less in size than Beamon's remains in the dim water.

This skeleton, like the shelf of a tent, stands in the murky waters, and it is quite spectacular.

I almost thought I had seen Beamon's remains.

The skeleton was covered with scattered ribbons of aquatic plants, like an unfinished tent, and I swam into the space under my breastbone, and soon found a hole that I could barely pass through.

If you go through the hole, it will be completely dark.

With my night vision, I swam in about a few dozen paces before the water level became shallower.

I stepped out of the water and found that it was a cave similar to the prison mine in Animo.

I turned back to my original form, stepped on the wet stones, and gradually came to a huge cavern.

It is an underground cavern, the top of which is connected to the ground, and the opening is obscured by a series of dead branches, and only sparse light leaks out, but it is barely enough to illuminate.

Actually, it's well-lit.

Because this cave is full of small tents built by fishmen.

This is the gathering point of the underwater part of the fish-man tribe, which is almost twice as large as the above in terms of area, and it is estimated that it can be crammed into more than three times the number in terms of population.

By this time, the fish had run deeper into the cave, and the entire gathering point was empty, except for a few unextinguished fires and torches, which provided ample lighting.

Because it was underground, the smell here was so strong that I couldn't stand it, so I covered my nose and hurried through it.

Even if there are some valuable things here, I have no interest in collecting them......

Further inside, the cave is still a cave, but instead of a complete stone wall, it is a mixture of stone, earth, and plants, and seems to have been built by man.

I was amazed at how quickly the fish-people withdrew.

Supposedly, no matter how strong a few of us adventurers were, it would be impossible for us to come in and wipe them all out after destroying the ground part, and even if there were escaped mermaids who came down to report the news, the merfolk would not escape so fast that there would be no one left when I came in.

Moreover, although the gathering point is also a little chaotic, the Tao has not yet reached the level of a sudden attack.

In other words, the fish-people were not intimidated by us, but evacuated before we came.

I've got to speed it up.

The damp cave got narrower and narrower, and water began to accumulate under your feet.

When the water reached my knees, I simply turned into an otter and dived.

After swimming for a while, I realized that the cave was completely submerged and was stretching with a steep slope.

It seems that there really are quite a few waterways underground.

There are waterways underneath the swamp and may be connected to the sea.

This thing has been, very bad......

I even regretted a little that I let go of the white-eyed fish so early, and even, I just asked Leo to use some interrogation methods to ask what the merfolk were going to do, so it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Speaking of which, it was my negligence, and it can be regarded as Leo's negligence.

We don't think about the problem in depth enough.

Looking back, the fact that "mermaids appear in the swamp" is not normal in itself!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but speed up.

Hurry up to catch up with the escaped fishmen, or even catch the merfolk who have sneaked into the swamp, and find the answer, is the most important thing!

This may be the side quest on the white-eyed fish!

It didn't take long for me to realize that the waterway had come to an end, but there was no road ahead.

As a rough estimate, I've descended the slope to almost the height of a mage's tower, and there are no forks in the way, so I shouldn't have reached a dead end.

That's when I thought of using elemental vision to find my way.

As expected, it was really a dead end, that is, there were other exits halfway along the way, which I ignored.

I had to turn back and use the elemental vision to explore the passage one by one, in order to save the elemental consumption, I could only use it once in a while, and slowly walk back.

I'm in a bit of a hurry.

Without Leo's humanoid radar, it's really inconvenient......

However, I also knew that I couldn't rely too much on him, I had to learn to solve problems independently, and now is a rare opportunity.

If you think about it carefully, I used to feel that I was in the "system" and was constrained everywhere, but now that the opportunity has come, I should actually seize this opportunity and show my skills!

With that in mind, I regained my confidence.

Rationally allocate the time of the elemental vision, not let go of any paragraph, save the mind at the same time, and speed up the search, I feel that I can actually solve all this on my own!

It didn't take long for me to spot something unusual on the way back - in an inconspicuous cave wall, I found a well-hidden fork in the wall!

The fork in the road was blocked by water weeds because the light was so dim that I ignored it.

I brushed aside the weeds and drilled through.

The entrance to this hole is very narrow, so the fish-man can pass through, and I feel a little crowded when I become an otter, and I can't get in at all if I change to the original form of a minotaur.

After two bends through the aquatic weeds, I came to a shoal.

It looked like an underground cavern again, and I turned back to its original form, knee-deep, and beyond that, to the dry rocky ground

The cave was quite spacious, but I always felt that something was wrong because I didn't see any traces of the fish-people walking through it.

I thought it was too dim and took out the magic orb.

It turned out that night vision didn't fool me, there was really no one passing here, and the cave floor was full of sand, although it was a little damp and a little choking, but there was no fishy smell on the fishmen.

It seems that there is more than one fork in the road, and I should go back and continue to search.

Just as I was about to go back, there was a noise at the other end of the cave.

Something is coming!
