Chapter 356: The Head Pufferfish
Anti-theft chapter - duplicate chapter, the latest chapter will be updated tomorrow.
The Aratilites cried out in terror.
It wasn't the first time that the adventurers had fought with the black-haired spellcaster, and certainly wouldn't misunderstand his actions as the Alatyrites, Berdwin and Leona were the first to run to the place where the thunderbolt went, the icy waters poured into their boots, Berdwin swung his broadsword and cut off an ugly head, and a burst of fishy smoke immediately filled the water, and the former paladin keenly grabbed the half-submerged human female and put her on his shoulder, "Watch out for their blood." He shouted, "The liquid in their bodies will pollute the sea!" His reminder caused Leona to backhand, not with the blade but with the blade of the sword, to slap a slightly smaller sea ghost woman, and slapped her straight into the sea, while holding the boy who was trying to get up from the sea ghost woman's claws, and the hand holding her was wet and cold, and shivering constantly, the child's face and body were deeply scarred, and the edges of the trouser legs were charred and broken.
The spirit of the other world continued to levitate in mid-air, and the night during the eternal day was also half-bright, and his vision allowed him to see through the gray waters of the eternal night seaβthe sea ghosts were far away from each other, and they were holding the children and women they had looted from the igloo, and the thunder and lightning he threw spread through the sea faster than in the swamp or the air, but with less power, but it needed itβ The abscess-covered and dark-yellow bodies of the sea ghosts were as thin as those of ghouls, only the abdomen was swollen like that of a pregnant woman, and they were always slumped back, and a pair of claws could touch the knees when they hung down, but the petite one of them was as tall as Birdwin, and when they ran, perhaps because they didn't want their prey to die too soon, they ran with the woman and the child, or bit the child in the mouth like the chief, so that the current hit the sea ghost woman first, not the unfortunate victimsγ
Such a thin electric current could only temporarily paralyze the sea ghosts, especially their leader, the strongest and tallest one, who even recovered after a breath - although there still seemed to be a flash of lightning in front of her, she immediately realized that it was not the lightning thrown by the caster, but the twin knives in the elves' palms, "Flash" and "Silver Crown" were as pure and soft as moonlight in the white glimmer, and they trembled slightly in the violent cold sea breeze, eager to drink the blood of the monster - The sea ghost woman hissed angrily, and the child she bit in her mouth fell into the sea, letting out a fragile and lowly cry.
The elves' attention was taken away for a moment, and by this time the leader of the sea ghosts had already pounced, and she had even given up the human woman she had held in her hands, her eyes glowing red in the dim light like crocodiles or jackals, and it was obvious that the flesh of the elves was more coveted than the humansβ She didn't even avoid the elves' twin knives, allowing them to pierce her body, her blood and bodily fluids gushing out of the wounds, only a small part of them falling into the sea, which boiled ominously, and the sea ghost woman let out an abominable laughβ Her flesh not only corroded healthy bodies, but also infected with deadly and swift diseases, and her hands and feet clung to the elf's body, trying to drag him into the sea, where they lived, their restaurant, and their fortress, and no one wanted to take this delicious and sweet piece of meat from her claws.
It was a dagger that pierced her back, no, it didn't affect her movement at all, even without her internal organs, she was still a strong sea ghost, for her, it was just a small thorn, although it was a small thorn that made her extremely painful, she opened her mouth to bite off a piece of flesh belonging to the elf first, but she found that she could not bite anything but the cold sea breeze, she stared at her prey in confusion, and the darkness engulfed her as if it had swept up from the bottom of the sea.
Kerry Ben gently retracted his arm, and the "Silver Crown" and "Starlight" were quickly withdrawn after meeting in the rotten body of the Sea Ghost Woman, and the double knives were not stained with a little dirt, he stood in the sea water, unharmed, and the thief looked at the spellcaster in mid-air, and nodded clearly.
"Looks like I'm doing too much. The thief said, pulling out the dagger, feeling the cold breath coming from the dagger, pressing it into the seawater, as if using the sea water to wash away the gray-green blood from the sea ghost woman's body, but in fact waiting for the dagger to completely absorb the filthy power.
"The help of a companion is never superfluous. Kerry said, putting the Silver Crown and Starlight in the scabbard, "Thank you." β
Glenn might have said something, but the Alatirites had already rushed over, Nanuk and his son were at the front, and it was Nanuk's wife and little daughter, who was still covered in soaked fox skins, who had been plundered by the leader of the sea ghosts, and Nanuk took the child from Leona's hand, and sadly found that she had stopped breathing.
"Let me see. Kerry Ben said that he had heard the child cry before he faced the sea ghost, and he put the child on the sand, and the child's face turned pale, and the elf lowered his head, first pressed his cheek to her lips to feel if she could still breathe, and then moved to her chest, "There is hope." The elf said as he poured the potion into the girl's mouth, and after a dead silence as long as a day and night, the people were pleasantly surprised to hear a difficult and painful cough, and Kerry had lifted her up a little and made her vomit the sea and sand herself. Nanuk's wife staggered over with the help of others, and her smile was as bright as the stars when she saw her daughter come back to life.
"Get out of the way!" the tribal shaman suddenly shouted, shaking his wooden staff, opening several of the people who were holding their children and wives tightly, not allowing them to approach their relatives: "Have you all forgotten?" he shouted fiercely, "The sea ghost woman will bring the plague!
"Let me be with my wife," Nanuk said, "and I'm sick with the disease." He hunched his back, which was full of festering wounds, but he pressed his sons sternly, not allowing them to come near him: "The rest, those who have not been touched by the sea ghost, leave hereβfar away, until we can not see the smoke and dust that we have fired...... Quick, before the plague exterminates the tribe!"
He stood up so that the scars and abscesses on his body could be clearly seen, and the Alatirit, who was still immersed in joy, fell silent, and when they fell asleep, they would take off all their clothes and burrow into the fur-sewn sleeping bags to share their body temperature with their lovers or children, so that most of them were naked/naked when they were attacked by the sea ghost womanβ Without the shaman's reminder, the injured person may not have noticed that their wounds were not only unusually swollen, but also began to fester, emitting an unbearable stench.
Almost all the women and children who had been plundered by the sea ghost were spared, and Nanuk's wife looked down at her little daughter in her arms, trembling to find that her wound was not only not festering, but not even bleeding and swollen, nor smelling the stench of filth.
She looked at the elves, the elven rangers were looking at Perrant, and the druids were similarly grim-faced, there were as many as twenty people who had been hurt by the sea ghosts, and their potions were simply not enough.
"Is there no other way?" asked the otherworldly spirit, and Glenn, who was following him, looked at the men and gave a slight snort.
- This is the Sea of Eternal Night, and the lich says before the elf can answer that he was not suddenly summoned by Ilmot, but that if he doesn't say anything, something more terrible will surely befall him - one Tyre is enough.
- How so?
- There may be something we need in the Sea of Eternal Night, the former undead quickly said that the Sea of Eternal Night and the Far North are places of fear for the living, but for the undead, it is like a small garden full of surprises.
"Speartail pufferfish. Perrante said.
- Looks like we're on the same page, said the lich.
- What's that?
- The Alatirites, also known as "Stone Mill" and "Moon", can grow to a very large size, with a flat body and almost no tail, but there is a type of fish with a tail like the tip of a spear, which is even rarer, but it can no longer be said to be a fish, only a magical creature, because its blood and mucous membranes have the effect of healing other creatures, sometimes sea lions will hover around them, and even the wounds torn by sharks can heal in a few days.
- Can they heal the wounds left by the sea ghost woman?
- It doesn't matter, the lich sneered, but it can be a cover for usβthe deadliest thing is not the wound, but the plague, and our blood is the medicine that never gets better.
- uh...... I didn't......
- Oh, do you want to swear to me? This is not the first thing that comes to your mind? Below the bottomless abyss, do you know what kind of monsters are full of positive energy in their bodies? Pure positive energy is not created for the physical mortals of the main material plane, their bodies are only constantly catalyzed by that bright and brilliant power, so that they bulge and burst, and turn into stardust- Or you can explain that your significant other half of your bloodline is an activator (a combination of pure positive energy) inherited from the positive energy plane, or a positive energy monster, or a constructor?
ββ...... I'll be cautious.
After a moment of silence, the former undead let out a sneer - well, he said, whatever you want.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Why don't you leave?" Nanuk said, "Shaman, you're not hurt. β
"My apprentice can already become a real shaman, and I'm old. The shaman said, "The only people who are most vulnerable to the plague are the elderly, and perhaps the poisonous gas of the sea ghost woman has been blown into my throat by the wind, and maybe in ten days, or twenty days, I will rot and emit poisonous gases that will destroy our tribe." And," he added, "I stay here, maybe I can heal you?"
Nanuk smiled reluctantly, no one knew the mystery better than him. The shamans of the Alatirit people had been able to heal their tribesmen with herbs and shells for decades, and some of the priests of the evil gods said that their god, the god of the Far North, had fallen, and the elves and priests of some good gods told them that Urutiru had simply fallen asleep, but in any case, it was an indisputable fact that Urutiru was no longer able to protect them.
Nanuk subconsciously stepped back when he saw the elves coming towards them, but then he thought that the children of nature were not afraid of most of the plagues, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes, especially when he saw the little daughter in his wife's arms, although the little daughter was healed, she still did not leave with the unharmed people, because she was too young.
"I beg your pardon. Nanuk said, "My friend, the agreement between us cannot continueβto the west, I remember that another tribe of the Alatirites is about five days and nights away, and they are smaller in number than we are, but as long as they are not attacked by the sea ghosts, they should be able to build a great ship that you want." β
Perrante didn't say anything, just reached out and touched Nanuk's forehead, he was already starting to heat up.
"Do you know where red algae is found near here?"
"Is it to cool down and get rid of toxins?" said the shaman, "it's located in the north-southwest, only twenty miles from here." β
"We'll be back soon," Perrante said, "don't give up." β
Some of the Aratilites who were still able to move helped the elves carry the injured who had fallen into a fever and coma to the igloo, which emptied most of the clutter according to the elves' request, and distributed the diluted eaux-de-vie and healing potions to ensure that their injuries did not worsen. The baleen whale incarnated by the druid quickly found the red algae and pulled a large piece back to the tribe, the shaman and Berdwin, GΓΌlen mashed the red algae together and smeared it on the lips and wounds of the wounded, Nanuk's little daughter was brought back to their igloo by Leona, anyway, the little girl was life-free, but the fright and torture she had received before might not be able to endure even an adult, the black-haired spellcaster sprinkled rose petals on her forehead, and she quickly fell into a smooth and dreamless sleep.
