Chapter 179: New Allies (3)
For thousands of years, the footsteps of human beings have been spreading to the four directions of the Eslar Continent, this race without any special talent has relied on its own unity and surprising potential to slowly occupy the richest region in the center of the continent, becoming the veritable master of the entire continent, but the human beings who have achieved such a glorious history have always had two forbidden areas that have not stepped into, one is the blue sky, and the other is the vast ocean.
The vastness of the ocean is not something that humans can imagine who cannot live underwater, and the unfathomable depths of the ocean are filled with many creatures like humans, which have the gills of fish, so they can live freely on the bottom of the sea, they are the Naga people, the rulers of the vast ocean, as early as when humans still existed on land as blood slaves, these Naga tribes, who did not move on their legs by their tail fins, have ruled this sea for I don't know how many years.
A white tiger shark wanders lazily in the depths of the seabed, although it is dimly lit, but the deep-sea fish themselves do not rely on their eyes to see things, so this does not affect the tiger shark, it can "see everything around it clearly". The white tiger shark is a well-deserved overlord of this not too big sea area, whether it is the size or speed or the ferocious attack, there is no other creature in this coral seabed within a radius of hundreds of kilometers can compare with the tiger shark, it is the existence of no natural predators, so that this white tiger shark does not need to run for food, it even has enough time to wander in its own "territory" every day, enjoying a comfortable life.
Seeing the dense schools of fish swimming cautiously around them, the white tiger shark glanced at them with a disdainful look, and then continued to swim away, it considered itself to be of noble birth, far from being comparable to these humble creatures, and the white tiger shark standing at the top of the food chain on the coral seabed did not even think that these ordinary fish were qualified to be its own food, in its opinion, it should hunt a seven-meter-long moray eel, or a sharp-billed fire turtle with a thousand-year lifespan.
A fishy smell silently reached the mouth of the white tiger shark, this is its racial talent, even if it is more than ten kilometers, the tiger shark clan can easily feel the taste of blood, which can make it more convenient for them to forage, usually as long as there is a wound under the attack of the tiger shark, and finally it is not torn apart by the tiger shark with its sharp teeth, or it is exhausted in the long pursuit of its own blood and died, the tiger shark clan has a record of never letting their prey escape.
I don't know out of the instinct of food tracking or the anger of being intruded into their territory by other creatures to feed, the white tiger shark sped up its swimming speed, it followed the blood-smelling help, and soon came to a large dense red coral reef, when it bypassed a large area of red coral, it saw dozens of corpses at a glance, that is the corpse of the most powerful ruler of this sea area, the Naga warrior, this discovery scared a tiger shark, it knows its own strength, if it bullies the lower creatures in this sea area, it is naturally no problem, but in the face of a Naga warrior, at best, it is a passable preyใ
The white tiger shark reacted extremely quickly, it immediately turned around, ready to leave quickly, whether it was the killed Naga warriors or the murderers who killed these Naga, it was not something that its small tiger shark could provoke. Just as the white tiger shark's tail fin swinging vigorously was about to leave, a beam of lightning shot out from the nearby coral pile and hit the tiger shark's body.
The white tiger shark was hit hard, and a wound was torn open by lightning on its body, and blood gushed out desperately, instantly staining the nearby sea water red. Seeing that the white tiger shark was able to escape after receiving a magic blow from himself, the caster threw a trident, the weapon of a dead Naga warrior, and the sharp tip of the weapon pierced the white tiger shark's body without hindrance, pinning the latter firmly to a large pile of coral reefs.
"Damn, my mana is almost exhausted, I can't even kill a tiger shark, and I still have to use weapons. When did I, Ticilis, fall into such a mess? With this voice of self-talk, a female Naga slowly swung her tail fin and swam out of her hiding place, it was none other than Tixilis, a woman of the Naga royal family who was riding the "Everything Grows" to Dragon Island with the elf queen Freya and others.
Before Ryan and the others flew back to Cassano in the adult red dragon, the royal family of the Naga clan was also freed, and Tisiris had planned to quietly pass through the territory of her sister, the most powerful contender for the next Naga Empress, her mother's eldest daughter, Shadurilna, but accidentally revealed her whereabouts, thus attracting the frenzied pursuit of Shadurilna's warriors.
For more than ten days of tracking, this Naga royal woman who had hardly traveled alone was miserable, and today at the bottom of this red coral sea was the most dangerous encounter for Ticilis, she had to face more than 20 Naga warriors who were biting her tightly, these were all the guards under her royal sister Shadurilna, and her combat effectiveness was naturally good. After using all her strength, Titilis managed to kill all the Naga warriors she was tracking, but she also used up all her mana, and in the final blow, she had to use a throwing method that she had never looked down upon as a mage, but only killed a white tiger shark that rushed in.
"The food, it was good. Tixilis looked at the white tiger shark that was still bleeding out, and muttered, "Her throne must be hundreds of kilometers away from here, well, I have to speed up my pace." โ
Tisilis said as she walked over to the dead tiger shark's corpse, where she used a dagger decorated with ornate jewels to cut open the tiger shark's flesh and eat it raw. After eating a few large pieces of fresh meat, Tixilis felt that her mana had recovered a little, she thought about it, and cut a few more large pieces of fresh meat from the tiger shark carcass, stuffed it into her storage pocket, and then swam towards the densest southern part of the coral seabed.
Less than 30 minutes after Ticilis left, a large group of Naga warriors found the battlefield, led by a Naga warrior who, after carefully examining the environment, took a gem found by his subordinates and swam quickly to the throne on the back of a huge abyssal otter turtle, and respectfully said, "Master, my men have caught up with her here, and this gem fell from her personal dagger." It's a pity to let her run away, but I'm sure she's running out of strength, and I can assure you that by this time tomorrow, oh no, before midnight today, I'll be able to put its body in front of you. โ
The Naga woman on the throne is somewhat similar to Tisiris in appearance, but her appearance is more noble, which also invisibly indicates the identity of this Naga woman, she is the royal sister of Ticilis, the ** teacher of the Naga clan, Shadurilna. Due to the different living environment and humans, the magicians of the Naga tribe are not good at fire magic, even if Ticilis, who was born with the power equivalent to the power of a high-level human magician, its fire magic is barely up to the requirements of cooking food, the Naga people live at the bottom of the sea, so they are better at water and electricity magic, and they also have a deep knowledge of illusions, spells, summoning, and prophecy magic, and the enchantment process has its own uniqueness.
After receiving the purple jewel from the captain of the guard, Shadurellna began to carefully identify it, and after a long while, she nodded and said, "That's right, it's this demon pupil, and I can feel the power contained in it." Well, I remember it was her mother's gift to her as a coming-of-age gift, and it was her last gift before she got her fief, which was excavated from the deep-sea mines by her mother at the cost of 3,000 people, and more than 800 people died under the attack of the two-horned sludge worms. โ
"And this dead tiger shark, its body has been torn off large pieces of flesh, and the blood has not completely coagulated until now, indicating that she has not gone far. And now that she's got to the point where she has to get food from the outside world, her whereabouts can no longer be kept secret. The captain of the guard said with some excitement.
"Hmph, don't be complacent just yet, Ticylis is very cunning, and it may not be a trap she has laid. Sadurilna said this calmly, and then she rose from her throne and slowly swam to the tiger shark's corpse, and after several inspections, Shadurilna suddenly reached out and gouged out its eyes from the tiger shark's corpse.
The captain of the guard seemed to have guessed his master's thoughts, and immediately swam away, leaving a large area around Shadurilna, who dragged the tiger shark's eye with the palm of one hand, brought it to his chest, and then recited a large number of magic spells in a deep voice, and when the last incantation was read, a blinding light wrapped the tiger shark's eyes, and then the sea in front of Shadurielna receded silently, and a large vacuum appeared, and a familiar figure appeared in the very center of the area, and it was Ticialis, who had just leftใ
The perspective of this image is very strange, it seems to replay what the dead tiger shark saw in the last period of its life, and under the magic of Shadurilna, Ticilis kills the tiger shark, and the whole process of eating and leaving is clearly recreated.
"Hehe, I'm sure we'll see you again soon, my sister. Sadurellena ate the tiger shark eyeball that she used to cast the spell, and then rubbed a finger against her lips, as if she was a little unsatisfied, and she didn't need to give any more orders, the captain of Shadurella's guard had already given her the order, and the whole Naga team marched again, and the direction in which Tisyris had fled.
