Verse 68: The Temple of the Sea is here
The beard dives silently into the water.
It's a secret mission, and before setting off, Ayosu makes sure no one is watching him.
Still, he pretended to cast an underwater breathing spell on himself, even though he didn't really need to breathe.
The water is colder, and the more you dive, the less visibility you get.
The fish-man village that Cangsu needs to explore this time is located in the depths of the sea, a long distance.
Dive, keep diving.
After reaching a certain depth, the beard shakes the robe. The next moment, several ghosts emerged from the wide cuffs of his robes.
Ignoring the water, the ghost wanders rapidly, bringing the water even cooler wherever it goes.
Ghosts are distributed around the beard, forming a thin cordon and defensive line.
The sea is not safe, and no one knows what kind of ferocious sea beasts lurk.
Cangsu didn't really expect much protection from these ghosts, after all, these ghosts were just ordinary ghosts.
What he really relied on was himself.
Of course, as a black iron level mage, even if it is a necromancer, his cultivation is indeed low.
What really gave him confidence was the luxurious equipment he was wearing - silver-level magic books, magic robes, magic staffs, and magic scrolls that were abundant in number and variety.
Among them, there are many scrolls that are instantaneous.
Every distance he dives, Greybeard casts a reconnaissance spell to check his surroundings.
In the sea at this depth, it is dark, and you can only rely on spells to detect and adjust the direction.
When a normal person is in such a dark and secluded environment, he is bound to be afraid and nervous. But there was no beard at all.
This is the most satisfying thing about his cultivation of necromancy - he can always remain calm, or rather indifferent.
After performing the sixth spell to resist the water pressure, a light quietly appeared in front of Cangsu's eyes.
He kept approaching, and the light gradually expanded in his vision, continuously.
It is a coral grove that emits a faint glow on the dark ocean floor.
There is a village in the coral thicket, and the fish-people are clearly active in the village.
As a scholar, Cangsu also has a certain understanding of fishmen, and he knows that there are several types of fishmen according to the environment they inhabit. The main thing is the shallow fish-people. And the fish-people who live here are obviously deep-sea fish-people.
The old scholar cautiously approached the fish-man village, and at this time, he no longer used his previous detection spell.
He must mask spell fluctuations.
Once close to the ideal distance, Greybeard manipulated the ghost to infiltrate the village.
He cast a spell again, connecting his gaze with the ghost, and what the ghost saw was reflected in his mind.
As a result, five or six pictures were "seen" by Cang Xu at the same time.
This kind of vision is very unfriendly to beginners, and it is easy to get mentally exhausted, vomiting at the lightest, and traumatizing at worst.
Cangsu has been practicing countless times.
The bloodline limited his qualifications, and the lack of qualifications prevented him from using his energy and time to improve his life level, and could only use it to practice spells.
Greybeard began to observe the fish-people "up close".
The main body of the fish-man is a fish, but it has two arms and legs. Fishmen generally do not have necks, and the huge head of the fish is directly connected to the body of the fish.
Compared to fish, their tails are degenerate, but their fins are still there, standing proudly on their backs and extending to their tails.
Their scales are colorful, but they are mainly blue, green, and yellow.
Fish people work in the village, and small fish people frolic around.
The village is not large, and the houses are made of local materials, or more accurately, rooms are dug out of the glowing coral bushes.
It is clear that the level of development of the fish-man civilization is very low.
You can see it from the tools they use β stone hammers, harpoons made from fish bones, fishing nets woven from seaweed, etc.
Iron is hard to come by.
Cangsu used five or six ghosts to check the front and bottom of the village, only to find three iron tools.
And the surface of these irons has a heavy rust.
On top of that, there's a magic device, the fish-man's totem pole.
The totem pole is located in the center of the village, and it is very dilapidated, so to speak, close to the point of destruction.
Seeing this scene, Cangsu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
The totem pole is in disrepair, indicating that there are no fish-man shamans living here.
There are no mages among the fishmen, and there are no records of fish-man mages in history, but the fishmen have shamans.
A ghost burrows into the village chief's house and discovers the strongest fish-man in the village.
This is an old fishman, and looking at the knife on his body, you can guess that he is a fighter.
The old fish-man was obviously very old, slow-moving, and exuded the smell of black iron.
The ghost penetrated into the house, and the old fish-man was unaware, still doing his own thingβhe was drinking medicine.
Seeing him drink the medicine, the pupils of the cangsu lurking outside the village shrank.
The old fish-man drank magic potions.
According to the situation of this village, it is impossible to produce such a high-quality product.
"This is just the outermost part of the sea eye. β
"There is more than just this fishing village in this vicinity. β
"There should be larger fishing villages and even towns around the inner perimeter of the sea eye. There is a high probability that there is a fish-man shaman. β
"But ...... produce this magic potion"
Abarsu fell into deep thought.
The medicine that the old fishman drank was not the barbarian herb that Zidi had configured in Mystery Island. The potion contains magic power, and it is a qualified magic potion.
To make this elixir, a certain level of alchemy is required, as well as supporting pharmaceutical facilities, such as crucibles and so on.
"If the fish-people can produce this potion themselves, it means that there are large cities within the sea eye. It's not just the fish people who live inside, it's likely that there are other intelligent races. For example, mermaids, and Naga. β
Fishmen don't have magicians, they're shamans at best. But the mermaids, the Naga races, especially the mermaids, are rich in mages.
The Righteous Pirates are able to deal with the Fish-Man Village, but if there is an undersea city, it is certainly not an opponent.
In fact, it's a bit difficult to deal with fish-man villages. After all, the Terrans can't breathe underwater, and the young gang is relatively lacking in weapons for underwater warfare.
Greybeard's conjecture made him cancel his plan to storm the village.
On his own, he can wipe out the entire Fish-Man Village. The old fishman of the black iron level is likely to be plotted by him and will be taken away first.
Cangsu decided to secretly catch some fishmen for torture and try to hide them from others.
He lurks outside the village, using ghosts to detect.
After a long time, the mana in his body was not enough.
Although he doesn't need an underwater breathing spell, he needs a spell to resist the pressure of the sea.
Cangsu calmly drank a bottle of light blue potion and quickly replenished his mana.
He waited patiently and finally waited for the opportunity.
A group of fishmen swam out of the village.
This group is clearly hunters.
As soon as the hunting fishmen left the village some distance, Crowwhiskers used their ghosts to lure the nearby sharks.
The fishmen and the sharks fought each other, and soon they separated and fled in confusion.
Cangsu chose the captain of the hunt, and when he saw that he was alone and there was no one around, he quickly struck.
Necromancy β Bone Spear.
A spear made of white bone suddenly condensed and shot out in the sea.
The Captain of the Fish-Man sensed that the spell was not moving and had already dodged, but Ayosu had fully anticipated his position, so the bone spear shot at the Fish-Man and stabbed him directly under the armpit.
The entire bone spear was strung on the fish-man's body.
The captain of the fish-man hunt was hit hard, screamed, and threw his harpoon with all his might.
The harpoon shot the whiskers with precision.
Cangsu didn't have time to use defensive magic at all, he only used his mental robes.
The silver robe suddenly shimmered, forming an invisible stance that sent the harpoon flying upward.
Several ghosts roared and pounced on the Fish-Man Captain.
The Captain of the Fishman clenched his fists with both hands and struck the ghosts, but the damage was minimal.
He only has a bronze level, and his fighting spirit can't be released yet, so it's hard to kill ghosts.
The ghost interferes with the fish-man, and Aybeard takes the opportunity to successfully cast another spell.
Necromancy - Bone Prison!
The bone spear that originally pierced the fish-man's body quickly grew many branches on the surface of the white bones as if they were sprouting.
The branches bind the fish-man's body and limbs, then clinging together to form a tight cage of bones.
If this scene is seen by insiders, they may exclaim.
Because Cangsu used the technique of spell combos.
This is not something that the average magician can master.
It can be seen that Cang Xu's combat attainments are also good. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have almost disposed of the elemental body on the Justice in the naval battle of the Gold and Silver Brothers.
Cangsu successfully captured the fishman alive.
The fish-man was trapped in the bone prison and couldn't move, and when he saw Cangsu appear, he immediately opened his mouth and let out an angry voice: "garll, walgaaaa, mwgama, aaaaa......"
The fish-people have their own language, and Cangsu is not a linguist, so he can't understand a word.
But aaaa after Captain Fishman...... , Cang must understand the meaning.
It was all the screams of the fish-men.
Cang Xu stepped on the empty bone prison, and several white bone spikes that grew on the bone prison continued to extend, piercing the fish scales of the fish man, and deeply penetrating into his flesh and blood, bringing severe pain.
The Captain of the Fishmen was tortured for a short time, with no intention of surrendering.
Fearing that the other fishmen would come after him, he immediately used means to extract his soul.
The old scholar was lucky, he managed to make a ghost from a fish-man soul.
He continued to ask about the ghosts.
The fish-man ghost still speaks the fish-man language, but this time, the beard "understands".
Because of the spiritual link, he directly understood the meaning of the ghost, so he succeeded in obtaining information.
This information surprised and delighted him.
He hurriedly sneaked back to the Justice and reported to the Dragonman Boy.
"Within and outside of the eye of the sea, there are a large number of fish-man villages, towns, and even cities. β
"Every once in a while, a spring of water spews from the center of the sea eye, and the sea spring rises into the sky. At this time, there are often divine envoys who descend from the sky and come to the fish-man settlement to preach. β
"And ten days ago, a group of people entered the Fish-Man's sphere of influence from overseas. These people wore hooded robes and looked down on their faces, but they were personally guided by the fish-man shaman. It was the village they had first arrived in, and they had left some potions as a token of goodwill. β
"I think the temple of the Blue God should be hidden in this sea eye!"
Abarsu spoke his judgment to the dragon boy.
