Chapter 37: The Fish-Man's Conspiracy

One tail whipped the three powerful demonic beasts to the point that they couldn't be seen, which seemed like a trivial thing for the water dragon. It didn't even glance in the direction where the monsters were being rolled, and its eyes fell on the crusading army's camp.

It spat out its reptilian tongue, swept it twice in the air, and then retracted, as if to show its laid-back movement with this movement.

"This guy...... What do you want to do?"

"Is it defying us?"

"It's okay to be contemptible, get out of here!"

"yes, there's no prey here for you to fill your belly with, let's go!"

In the face of this terrifying big guy, even the bravest knights, the most fanatical priests, and the most money-hungry adventurers all beat drums in their hearts, and even many orc warriors who are called "muscular and brainy" are muttering in whispers, saying nothing more than "you can't see me" and the like.

No way, if those Warcraft belonged to the "difficult" level of strong enemies, then the water dragon skipped the difficulty of "expert", "hell" and other difficulties, and directly reached the "unchallengeable" level.

If you want to deal with it, the entire crusading army will fight half of it, maybe it won't be enough!

If you go back five or six hours, back to last night, when everyone was in the right state, maybe you can try to try it. Now the whole crusading army is exhausted, tired and hungry, and if it is not for the presence of a strong enemy, they must be strong and energetic, and many people may even lie on the ground and fall asleep.

Challenging the water dragon in this state?

It must be a problem with the head!

However, if you don't fight, the crusading army doesn't count if you say it, and the water dragon says it doesn't count......

So now, in addition to preparing for battle, everyone can only pray silently, praying that the water dragon is just passing by, finding something strange, and coming to see what is going on, and there is no intention of plowing the court and sweeping the holes and completely annihilating them.

Though...... It's a bit unlikely.

At the same time, on the shore of Wolf's Den Lake, a group of fishmen are holding a ceremony.

In the center of a round, somewhat messy magic array, at least a dozen demonic beasts had been killed, and the corpses were piled up into a small mountain. The mermaid priest, who was so old that he had wrinkles on his scales, held a wand inlaid with the skull of a previous high priest, and circled around the magic circle, singing strange songs as he went around.

Its songs have no fixed rhythm or lyrics, and are full of freewheeling messiness, but have an unsettling overall rhythm. It's like a bunch of goblins screaming all over the place - and with all sorts of weapons, blocking your doorstep. It's like a swarm of flies, big and small, buzzing around you, sometimes emitting an S and sometimes a B in the air.

Around the magic circle, hundreds of fish-man priests and shamans formed in a circle, holding bone wands and singing prayer songs.

Their voices are much more neat, apparently with clear lyrics and scores, and although they are incomplete and sound like a cat — no, a group of cats scratching ground glass with their paws, but at least it's just unpleasant, not inexplicable.

Well, it only makes people want to kill them all, or simply poke their ears deafening.

With the ritual of the fish people, the sky above the magic circle gradually appeared near the camp of the crusading army. When he saw the water dragon lying lazily next to the camp, with no intention of attacking, the Fishman Priestess let out a scream of rage.

It took a great deal of money to lure the water dragon to the camp of the land creatures. Of course, it's not for this guy to come here, but to annihilate the terrestrial creatures that run to the Wolf's Den Lake every few years - it's better to kill them cleanly, leaving not even a single piece of skin, a piece of flesh or a single hair!

However, the water dragon is a powerful dragon species after all, and even if it is polluted by the mind, it still retains a high level of sanity, and it has no intention of fighting with the crusading army at all.

Of course, there are fools in the dragon species, but most of them are smart people. For example, the panda's mount, Qinglong, actually knows how to deceive and lure the enemy, and in terms of the art of war, it is likely to surpass many officers.

The water dragon is also smart, and it clearly senses that there are many powerful creatures in the crusade camp. Maybe one or two is not enough to threaten itself, but if there are more of them, it may pose a great threat to it.

Although it doesn't think it's going to lose, why risk it if it can't take the risk?

As the overlord at the top of the food chain in the Wolf's Den Lake, the water dragon has never had to take risks.

Seeing that the water dragon did not intend to attack, and the crusading army did not dare to act rashly, the Fishman Priest became more and more impatient and angry.

As the overlord of this area, the water dragon is the enemy they will have to challenge sooner or later. And the terrestrial creatures that come to toss and turn on a regular basis cause them a huge problem. Now it's hard to get the two together, and they don't even fight, how can this work!

After thinking about it for a moment, the fishman priestess gritted his teeth and pulled out a golden-red scale.

These scales are not a specialty of Wolf's Den Lake, but come from far, far away. The high priest bought it through some secret channels and at great expense.

It belonged to a water dragon—not the mixed subspecies of Wolf's Den Lake, but a real dragon. As long as you use this thing as bait, you don't have to worry about the water dragon not doing anything!

It threw the scale into the magic circle, and as the scarlet light rose, the scale gradually disappeared, and then appeared in front of the crusading army's position, among the corpses of the monster.

If the mages of the crusading army were in good shape and could maintain the barrier, this would definitely not be a hidden thing from them. But now that they were exhausted, they no longer had the ability to monitor the situation around the camp, and the Fishman Priestess's spell system was completely different from what they were used to, so they missed this scene.

After all, there is an extra scale in the mountain of demonic beast corpses, what is there to pay attention to?

But the water dragon noticed it at first, and its eyes widened suddenly, staring at the scales.

The scales of the true dragon have a huge attraction for the subspecies of dragon. As long as it is devoured, absorbed, and analyzed by its power, it may be able to find a further path and purify its bloodline as soon as possible and evolve into a true dragon.

For the water dragon, which is already the overlord of Wolf's Den Lake, this is almost its only goal in life.

So when this scale appeared, the strings of reason in its brain, which had been polluted by chaotic magic and evil sacrifices, immediately broke off, let out a low roar, and rushed towards the camp of the crusaders without hesitation.

The crusaders didn't know that it was coming for the scales that no one had noticed, and when they saw it rushing towards it, they didn't even think about it, and immediately used backup means.

Several disposable bed crossbows that have never been used since they were built were cut off from the rope that held the steel plate of the machine spring, and the huge force generated by the bending of the steel plate was suddenly converted into the kinetic energy of the huge arrow, so that the arrow heavier than an ordinary person made a violent sound of breaking the air and went towards the water dragon ****.

In the face of such an attack, the water dragon showed incredible agility, its somewhat bloated body unbelievably twisted as it ran, and even dodged most of the huge crossbow arrows, only one of which was too high to dodge after all, and hit the chest.

The scales, which were stronger than steel, could not resist the huge crossbow bolts shot by the bed crossbow, and they were pierced in one fell swoop, and more than two-thirds of the crossbow bolts, which were about one and a half meters long, shot into the body of the water dragon, and blood immediately gushed out.

The water dragon let out an angry roar, and a pair of eyes that were still a little squinted suddenly widened, and crazy killing intent permeated from its body.

Shaken by its breath, the magic array by the wolf's den lake collapsed violently, and the fish-man priests and shamans surrounding the magic array spurted blood one by one, and the high priest also spat blood from his mouth and crumbled.

But they all smirked.

Despite the huge cost, it was all worth it. Their plans have been a success!
