Chapter 47: The Patrol

"Attention, in groups of three ahead, be careful to hide. "Deep at the bottom of the sea, a huge reef was exposed from the ground, and the five members of the adventure group hid behind the reef and poked their heads out, cautiously poking their heads out to observe the patrol of three in front of them.

After separating from Lanna and Badia, after several hours of trekking under the sea, the party has entered the Devil's Sea, and as Doris said before, they have encountered the controlled Sea Clan in the Devil's Sea several times in a row. However, Doris's statement is also obviously wrong, these controlled sea tribes do not act like normal people, they are obviously more sluggish, and unless they see a few people in the party or hear a sound, even if they are shone in the face by the light, they will not have any aggressive reaction, if they are on their backs, even if they touch their bodies, as long as they are not detected when they look back, they will not have any suspicions, and they just continue the previous patrol in a daze.

"I'm afraid it's because they've been controlled for too long, and it's probably because they're in the body's self-protection, and their consciousness is in a closed state, and they should recover when they leave this sea. A few people hid in the hollow behind the reef, whispering to each other with the smallest wave of water. Catherine whispered, "Why don't we try to knock down these Sea Clans and transport them out to see if they recover?"

"It's a bit far. Lina shook her head and said: "And although the strength of these patrols is not high, at least they are also of the gold rank, and it is easy to knock down, but it may not be so easy to control for a few hours." ”

"If I can knock them out, I can freeze them. Vivien said: "But it's hard to say whether you can survive after the thaw, and it's likely that she will freeze to death." ”

"Forget it, it's too easy to risk your life. Catherine hesitated for a long time, but still vetoed herself: "Although the Sea Clan is very sensible and does not put forward the request to ensure the safety of the lives of the people under control as much as possible, but after all, it is a group of innocent people, if possible, it is better not to endanger their lives." However, this is only on the basis of not affecting our own safety, if there is a situation that may cause danger to our lives, we no longer need to consider the issue of mercy, everything is based on our own safety. ”

"It's reassuring to have this sentence. Freya tore open her waterproof backpack and took out a crystal gun that was nearly a meter long, her crystal gun was very special, the inner diameter of the barrel was as thick as a fist, and the muzzle of the black hole was filled with vague magic fluctuations from time to time. Freya opened the breech of the crystal energy gun, adjusted it slightly on the magic circle, nodded with satisfaction, and tried to aim a few times in front of her eyes: "How do we act now?

"Although they have tried it before, they will not wake up after the knockdown and will not notice the abnormality, but during the knockdown process, they will sound an alarm, and if there are other patrols nearby, I am afraid that they will attract more attacks from the controlled. "So I suggest that we try to avoid these patrols and stun them as quickly as we can," said Pannis. ”

"It takes a very accurate judgment of how far away they are so that they don't see it. Catherine said, "But how did these sea tribes find their enemies at the bottom of the sea, where there was no light at all?"

"I don't know. Pannis shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be visual, it's not tactile sensing, it's not hearing." Perhaps only by unraveling the final mystery and finding out why they were under control can we figure it out. However, it is easy to judge their distance from the enemy, and the three patrols in front of you are the best props. It's still on the periphery, and the patrols around it are very sparse, and judging from the changes in the current, there are no other patrols around, so they are just used for experiments. You are lying in ambush here, and I will test them, and then you will attack them when I lure them over. Remember, I've probably tried so many times, so don't come forward until I bring them in, even if they attack me. ”

"Okay, there you go. Catherine waved her hand, "We'll be fine with the light." ”

"That's fine. Pannis moved and said, "I'll take the Tears of Light with me too, and hopefully they won't react to the Tears of Light in any way." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Pannis's legs flicked, his body jumped straight upward, and he floated fifty meters in the blink of an eye with the buoyancy of the sea, and quietly swam towards the patrol from the sea above his head. The three-man patrol was unaware of the approaching Pannis, and continued to walk back and forth along a fixed route without any changes. The three sea tribes belong to different races, one has a row of longitudinal dorsal fins on its back, and the tips of its dorsal fins are abnormally sharp, as if they can be hurt if they are touched lightly. On each side of the second arm was a shield-like shell, which was very thick and shone with a blade-like cold light at the edges, making it look like two weapons that were offensive and defensive. The last one looked like a human, but there were fist-sized holes in his chest and abdomen, as if he had been punched through them, and he had a bulging sarcoma on his back that looked like a hump, and the sarcoma also had a black hole. The three sea tribes walked around on the ground of the sea floor with expressionless faces, no matter how long they walked, they did not look tired.

"No, these accused sea tribes are all moving in the sea in human form. Catherine whispered, "According to normal people's thinking, their ocean form must be more advantageous in the deep sea, but they don't use it, and they want to use the most inconvenient land form, which is a very strange phenomenon." ”

"I didn't ask Priestess Doris if she switched to human form when she was controlled. Vivien said: "However, generally speaking, it is unlikely that the sea tribes will use the land form frequently at the bottom of the sea, and we have seen seventeen or eighteen controlled sea tribes along the way, all of which are in the land form, and it obviously doesn't make sense to explain it by using the reason that they just switched to the land form when they were controlled." ”

"Yes, that's true. Lina nodded and said, "I read that it is recorded in the book that even if it is a sea tribe, it is very expensive to use the land form to move in the deep sea, and it is not easier than ours." But now that they have been using this form, can it be assumed that these controlled sea tribes can only use this form?

"I think it's possible. Freya pulled out a small crystal disc out of nowhere, and the crystal disc was showing the ripples of the water in the vicinity through different colors. After looking at it for a while, Freya raised her head from the crystal plate and said, "Make sure that there are no other sea clans nearby, we can attack a little slower for a while, don't completely knock them down at once, give them some opportunities to attack, so that we can observe whether they will switch back to the ocean form in battle." ”

"It's a good idea. Lina said, "However, the one holding the shell must be the first to be knocked down, and he must not be given a chance to switch forms." Miranda told me that this sea tribe's marine form is the most defensive in the deep sea, and it would be very troublesome to let him change his form. ”

"What about the other two?" asked Catherine, "are there any characteristics?"

"The one with the dorsal fin is a small sea aquarium with a reminder of the ocean morphology of less than three meters, characterized by high speeds. His oceanic form is serpentine, and when fighting, it will clump together, spinning at high speed like a disc, and the fastest individual will turn so that it is impossible to see at all, like the circular saw that Freya released earlier. Lina paused for a while, as if listening to someone else's conversation, and then continued: "The other one with several holes in his body is the Water Gun Clan, about five meters long, characterized by a high degree of compression of seawater in the body, and then sprayed out from the three embarrasses on the back, which is very powerful, no less than the crystal energy explosion bomb of three thousand terres, and can even easily explode rocks." ”

"It's not easy to deal with. Catherine said with some hesitation: "Either one is very troublesome." ”

"Well, the Sea Clan basically has nothing to deal with. Lina said, "Miranda said, especially the Deep Sea Clan, you must be careful when dealing with it. ”

"Well, let's target the one with the Water Gun Clan. Catherine chose her target: "With the shields that everyone has advanced now, a few crystal energy bombs can still be blocked." ”

"Well, Miranda and I agree the same way. Lina nodded, "The other two are either not too fast or too hard, and they are very troublesome to deal with." However, I don't think it's very likely that they will switch to the ocean form, so let's try it later. ”

"I saw Pannis. Vivien, who had been using Eagle Eye to bless her vision, suddenly adjusted the crystal lamp behind Catherine, moved the pillar of light and said, "See? ”

"Well, I see, it's just that the light is a little insufficient. Catherine said, "I can't see clearly. ”

"I can't help it, I've adjusted it to the maximum brightness. Freya said regretfully: "Eighty meters is already the limit." ”

"It's okay, you can make do with it. Catherine waved her hand: "Well, he's already in front of the patrol, the distance is ...... Hmm, fifty meters, the enemy did not react, it seems that fifty meters is already beyond their range. ”

As Catherine had said, Pannis had gone around fifty meters in front of the patrol from above, but the patrol in Catherine's pillar of light acted as if they hadn't seen him. Pannis didn't move, but stood still and waited, just in the same position as the patrol was advancing. The three-person patrol remained on land, walking slowly along the ocean floor on two legs, approaching the immobile Pannith meter by meter. (To be continued.) )
