"Don't do it casually, when the group of spotted snapping turtles is provoked, it will roll up big waves, and it is easy to destroy the pleated umbrella lotus ......"

"The pleated umbrella lotus is only enough for one person to advance, and among the disciples of the original mentor, Murphy and I are about to reach the edge of advancement, she is very worried about who to use, and later invited to the Plantagenet Kingdom to quell the rebellion, so that Master Murphy accepted the prince as a student......"

"It takes a lot of effort to teach students, and in order to compensate Master Murphy, the mentor decided to give the fruit this time to Master Murphy to use, and I couldn't get angry, so I thought of you and recommended you to the mentor......"

The pleated umbrella lotus only matures once in three years, and if she misses this opportunity, she will have to wait another three years.

Victoria said and suddenly laughed: "I was so stupid at that moment!"

In the end, the pleated umbrella lotus still fell into her hands, not because she accepted a disciple, but because Mage Murphy had advanced to a gray-robed mage half a year ago.

As we get closer to our destination, the water becomes lighter and the red water fades.

"Hey, what's that?"

Victoria pointed ahead and picked up the staff to cast "Eagle Eye" on herself.

The sky was clear and the vision was wide, Ke Mingde followed the prestige, and there was a black dot floating on the water in the distance.

While releasing the Eagle Eye Technique on himself, he was distracted by scanning to observe the situation ahead.

Splitting the heart into two uses is nothing to Ke Mingde today.

A simple wooden building is housed in the water, half submerged and the other half exposed, supported by several pillars nailed into the underwater silt.

The wood soaked in the water is somewhat rotten and covered with algae scallops.

Two humanoids sat in a wooden building, soaked in water from the chest down, and holding spikes more than thirty centimeters long in their hands.

This creature is short in stature, about one meter three, with gray skin, a thick neck, well-developed upper limbs, and a smooth head without hair.

The two eyes are round and very far apart, like the eyes of a rabbit, almost long on the forehead, there is no nose, only two small nostrils, four tendrils above and below the lips, the neck is full of folds, the skin is moist, and the shoulders, back, chest and abdomen grow blue-green scales.

There are four fingers on each of the hands and feet, webbed between the fingers, sharp nails, and naked.

"It's a fish-man! Strange, how can there be a fish-man here?"

Victoria looked at it carefully for a long time and asked with a frown.

Fish-man is a very widely distributed intelligent species, with a wide variety of species, including deep-sea fish-man, shallow sea fish-man, freshwater fisherman, tidal flat fish-man, etc., from swamps to hundreds of meters of deep water, from extremely cold ice to tropical seas, they all have their existence.

There are also fish people in Luoxia Lake, but the number is very small, most of them are tidal flat fish people and shallow water fish people, distributed on the west coast of Luoxia Lake.

The pleated umbrella lotus grows at a great distance from the waters where the fish-people live, and there is a large group of spotted snapping turtles, so it stands to reason that there will be no fish-people living here.

"Let's go quietly, investigate the situation, and don't talk!"

Victoria unleashed her invisibility spell and manipulated the water to head towards the Fishman Sentry.

Ordinary fishmen have no magical talents, and occasionally found fishmen with magical talents will be valued by the entire race, and it is impossible to act as sentinels, so the two of them are not worried about being discovered by the fish-man sentinels in the small wooden building.

The boat approached the wooden building, and under the effect of the spell, there was not a single ripple on the surface of the water, and the two fishmen did not notice it at all.

"It's disgusting!"

Victoria speaks with sound.

I saw two fish-men whining and talking to each other, and from time to time they pulled out shells from the underwater part of the wooden building and threw them into their mouths.

The language of the Fish-Men is the same as that of humans, and it is the "lingua franca" created by the gods, but their structure is very different from that of humans, so it sounds like two languages, and only a mage who has studied the Fish-People deeply can communicate with them.

"Can you understand them?" asked Ke Mingde quietly.

"I've never learned the language of fishmen. Victoria pouted, "What about you?"

"Well, they're saying that black shells are chewier than white ones...... "Kommid pretended to be deep, but was punched by Victoria.

"You're disgusting!"

"What should we do, do we want to continue picking pleated umbrella lilies? It seems that the pleated umbrella lilies are in these fish-people's lair. ”

"What is there to be afraid of, I will protect you. Victoria said confidently.

"These fishmen won't spoil the pleated umbrella lotus, right?" Ke Mingde suddenly remembered something, a little worried, although he was not on the verge of advancement, and he couldn't eat this year's fruits, but he had a printer, and if the treasure was ruined by the fishmen, it would also be a loss to him.

"The mentor has arranged a magic circle on the pleated umbrella lotus, and they can't detect it, and they can only pick it up with a key. ”

She held up a white stone and shook it in front of Ke Mingde, this stone emitted a faint wave of magical power, which was the key to unlocking the magic circle.

The two mages didn't pay any attention to these slimy creatures, and their dwarf-like stature and no ability to cast spells could make the noble mage pay attention?

The boat continued on its way, passing two more sentry posts, unaware of the fish-man.

"Why are there so many fish-men here?"

Ke Mingde's face was as usual, but he paid attention to it in his heart.

Through scanning, he has found nearly a thousand fishmen, according to the books, the social structure of the fishmen is simple, the productivity is low, usually dozens of them are a group, more than a hundred fishmen, it is already a large group, and the number of fishmen here is more than a thousand, which is completely unreasonable.

This generation of aquatic products is not enough to support the consumption of thousands of fishmen, unless there are spellcasters in this group of fishmen.

The caster of the Fishman is different from the human mage, and is able to cast spells directly from the magic of chaos, without the help of a staff, and is more like a magical beast.

As long as there are spellcasters, they can create large amounts of food through spells, and it is not surprising to have such a large race.

These spellcasters are called fish-man sacrifices, and they all rely on talent awakening, so the spell inheritance is intermittent, most of them will only have talent spells, and only a few fish-man tribes have a systematic magic inheritance.

These tribes, without exception, are extremely strong tribes.

In addition, Ke Mingde found that according to His Royal Highness Dila, there is a large group of spotted snapping turtles living here, but now none of them have been found, obviously expelled or killed by the fishmen, although these snapping turtles are not strong, they are also mid-level magical beasts, and they are by no means ordinary fishmen can drive away.

Perhaps the snapping turtle he killed on Blackstone Island was driven away from here.

"Victoria, there are a lot of fish-people here, there may be fish-man sacrifices, and the spotted snapping turtles here are gone. ”

Ke Mingde reminded quietly.

Victoria frowned slightly, she also discovered the abnormality of this fish-man tribe, and she was a little hesitant in her heart.

She is now stuck at the threshold of the advanced gray robe, she has no clue, she doesn't know how long she will have to wait by cultivating, as long as she gets the pleated umbrella lotus, she can immediately become a gray robe mage.

"We take off the lilies and go, we won't disturb them. ”

The fishmen have a brutal temperament and are cruel to the biological means that invade their territory, otherwise they would have entered openly as mages.

Victoria finally made up her mind and unleashed a stealth spell on the ship, masking the fluctuations of her magic and heading into the depths of the Fish-Man Tribe.

Ke Mingde's vigilance mentioned the maximum, and he turned on the scan at all times, with his current level of mental power, it was not a problem to persist for five or six hours, but in order to retain enough mental power to cast spells, he could not use the scan indefinitely.

Fish-people can both live and move away from water, and usually have half of their bodies immersed in water.

The building is very rudimentary, with intermittent walls and barely a roof to shield it from the sun.

Young and sturdy fishmen are keen to fight, and there are male fishmen and female fishmen mating everywhere, regardless of the occasion, and the water surface is polluted and stenched.

Red algae that can be found throughout the Luoxia Sea are extinct here, and these things have very high requirements for water quality.

Victoria disgusted, these fishmen have no fixed mates, no ethics, nothing but brawls and copulation.

"Damn it!"

Victoria cursed quietly.

There were lotus leaves floating on the surface of the water in front of him, each of which was the size of a double bed, but they were torn apart by the fish-man, and it was almost impossible to find the complete lotus leaves.

"Is this the pleated umbrella lotus?"

Ke Mingde asked.

Victoria nodded and pulled out the "key".

The white stones glow faintly, one bright and one dark, like breathing.

"This is it!" Victoria sensed the key and found her destination.

There was nothing in the empty waters, and there was not a trace of magic fluctuations.

His Royal Highness Dila is highly skilled, and the magic circle arranged is still working well after three years.

Ke Mingde looked around, the two fishmen were in the shadow of the lotus leaves**, and they didn't notice any movement here.

Victoria poured magic into the key, and a white flower began to emerge.

The straight emerald green stalks, the big white lotus flowers hang down, really like a small umbrella.

"Oops!"

Victoria exclaimed.

At the circle, a strong wave of magic power emanated.
