Chapter 8: Sand Crocodile

Although Terrence did not budge, he did not completely destroy the hope in the hearts of the three fish-people.

"Strength, our current strength is far from enough."

"The strength is enough, I naturally allow you to go back to pick up your relatives."

"It's still quiet now, honestly follow me to become stronger!"

Terrence's words were somewhat blunt, and their request was denied.

Zilan, who made the request, had already expected this result in her heart, and she was not too frustrated.

So after saying that, Terrence added.

"The reward of dragon blood, I will make a decision based on your specific performance."

Terrence also gave the fish people some hope.

If you can become a dragonborn fishman, it will be a great help for their future growth, and it is also a great combat power for Terrence.

Because of their race, most of the ordinary fishmen can only stay in the beginner stage, and those with excellent qualifications can reach the intermediate level, while the high-level fishmen are the elite of the elite, and it is difficult to produce a few among the tens of thousands of fishmen.

"In that case, we are willing to be your dependents, Lord Terrence, and please do not care about our previous mistakes and offenses."

Zilan is more talkative than the fish-man black and fat, and a set of words makes it difficult for Terrence to remember if he wants to hold a grudge.

"If you don't fight, you don't know each other!"

"Then let's start the ritual! Hurry up! ”

"Remember, when you are happy, you must volunteer! Don't think too much in your heart, just empty your mind! The purer the better! ”

"Okay."

Zilan and Black Fat naturally agreed.

The ritual of becoming a dependant still has to be done, because he has experience in conducting rituals for Bai Lang, Terrence first explained the precautions.

Then, he successfully swallowed some of the soul fragments of the fish-man Zilan and the black fat to complete the ritual of transforming their dependents.

As for the dragon's blood, it was not given for the time being.

In the Dragon's Legacy, he can't afford to lose too much dragon blood at the young dragon stage! Those few drops that were lost before may have to be made up for a few days before they come back! Therefore, the matter of giving dragon blood will have to wait until he has slept for the second time.

With Palaya convinced and the Trisces subdued, the only thing left for Terrence to do is to run away with everyone.

As for the dragon beast in the cave, he was temporarily wronged to eat the soil, and Terrence would take the time to go back and see it.

"Let's go!"

As Terrence spoke, the Three-Fishman and the Two Dragons began to leave the place with their carts and some tools, heading inland.

Deeper into the interior, the meadows begin to thin out and are replaced by dense wooded areas.

After two days of traveling, Terrence and his gang finally arrived at a lake.

There is a lake in the forest, which is supposed to have been formed by the subsidence of the terrain and the accumulation of rainwater.

Terrence flew into the sky and looked at it, the lake was quite large, it should be a tectonic lake.

It is also a suitable place to stay in the daily need of drinking water, as well as the fish people who need water to keep their bodies moist.

Stopping the cart, the fish people took turns pushing all the way, and now they can finally take a break.

"Lord Terrence, I'll go to the lake and see if there are any fish to catch, everyone is still hungry!"

Although his stomach was not very angry, his keen perception made Terrence think that the lake should have an owner.

Stretching out the dragon's claws, he stopped the white waves who just wanted to go down to the lake.

"Don't go down yet, my gut tells me there's danger down there."

From the moment he stepped onto the edge of the lake, Terrence felt like he was being stared at.

This feeling is extremely bad!

"Indeed, I feel it too."

Although Pallaya's words are suspicious of following the trend, they also increase the convincing power of Terrence's words.

Seeing that the two dragons instinctively sensed that this lake was a little dangerous, Bai Lang naturally did not recklessly.

"So what are we going to eat for this meal......

Palaya's stomach growled as well.

"I took action on my own, and I saw a lot of wild fruits on the road, plus some wild vegetables, rabbits, one-horned wild boars, etc., and I can still get by these days."

With that, Terrence flapped his wings and flew away.

An hour later, Terrence easily grabbed a few hares to give them a little belly pad, and then flew above the lake.

The sense of locking in to the gaze was still there, but there was nothing on the surface of the silent lake except a few pieces of dead wood that floated.

Wait a minute?

That's when Terrence reacted.

The problem should be in these floating dead trees.

Terrence lowered the flight distance a bit, and then stared at the "dead wood", and sure enough, he found suspicion.

It has to be said that their disguise is indeed superb.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be the sand crocodile among the transcendent beasts recorded in the Dragon's Legacy.

Sand crocodiles usually like to sleep in the mud and sand at the bottom of the lake, and usually lie in ambush in the mud and sand on the shore in order to launch a surprise attack on the creatures that come to the shore to drink.

Terrence flew back to the makeshift camp temporarily stationed on the shore and told what he had seen and heard to Palaya and the Trifishes.

"Sand crocodile?"

Palaya, who likes to sleep in her free time, obviously hasn't read too much about the contents of her dragon legacy.

"Take a look at the Dragon's Legacy for yourself, there is specific information in the Bestiary."

Terrence "pointed" to Palaya, and then began to discuss with the Three Fishes.

It's a pity that the fish people don't have a good opinion.

Because sand crocodiles do not live in the sea, they have little contact with fish, and they have heard of such inland water beasts at most.

"Since you feel like you're being watched, Lord Terrence, it means they must have spotted us."

Zilan, who has the most experience, expressed his opinion first.

"That's right."

Terrence nodded, and was right.

"In the sea, we fishmen encounter some ferocious sea beasts, and we usually lure them out first before attacking them."

Zilan's words seemed to give Terrence some feelings and inspiration.

"Draw it out? So how can you lure the sand crocodile out? ”

"Although the sand crocodile is just an extraordinary beast, and its intelligence is definitely not as good as ours, it is also more difficult to lure it ashore."

Bai Lang's words still pointed out the crux of the problem quite directly.

"And what are we going to do if it does?"

The fish-man black fat skipped this process and thought directly about the result.

"This is easy to do, as long as it comes ashore, we can dig a trap and wait for it!"

Terrence is also experienced, and he is an old yin when he uses traps...... Ah no, it's a favorite of veteran players.

......

While the three fish and one dragon were discussing countermeasures, Terrence left the shore.

A spearhead of the fishman with a sharp harpoon in his hand was the first to step ashore, and behind him dozens of fishmen surfaced one after another.

The situation on the shore made them not know what was going on here for a while!

The nests of the seabirds and the shrubs planted for the seabirds are gone, and even the grass and trees are gone, and the soil on the ground has many traces of ploughing, presumably uprooted.

The environment was so badly damaged that the fish people didn't find any valid clues at all.

"It's not like you've been attacked by a wild beast."

An old fish-man went ashore with his back on his back, and after analyzing it along the way, he couldn't figure out the reason.

"Go back, no more searching."

After the old fish-man gave the order, the fish-man who was about to go to the forest turned around and returned to the sea, and then followed the old fish-man back to the fish-man clan.

PS: Introduction to Fishman

Fish-people are amphibious oviparous humanoids that breathe as easily underwater as they do on land, they can walk and run, but swim faster and more comfortably.

Fish-people do not like to stay on land, mainly because the air is too dry and they can walk clumsily and slowly, but they still establish small villages on the shores and shores of each continent.

For most humans and dwarves, the Fishmen are primitive half-fishmen, sometimes exchanging shells and seafood for other items such as metal, wood, spices, etc., but they fight with rudimentary weapons.

Only a few fish-folk will enter other settlements, and they will usually only trade or fight. Fish-people prefer to live on empty shores where no one wants to live, because then they are free and uninhibited.

While fish-people can breathe air, they can't leave the water for too long, their skin is covered in scales like a fish and they need a moist environment to keep them soft and supple. If you don't soak in water every day, the fish people will dry out and crack, causing severe pain. That's why their villages are close to the shore, and each fish-man spends a certain amount of time underwater every day, just to survive rather than to have fun.

Fishman Appearance:

If you like fish, the fish-people are good-looking creatures, they stand as tall as human males, although they carry their backs when they leave the water, they are also about as tall as young people, with long legs and arms, and their skin is golden when damp.

Most of the fish are silver or copper, while the fishmen are colorful, some with red or blue or even green bands on their heads, others with gold or silver patterns on a cyan or complexion background, and some with stripes and spots. Some colors are simple, but they shine in the sun. Most of the time, they are covered with a layer of mucus on their skin in the water, so their color is relatively dull.

For some special reason, the fish-people will clean themselves so that you can see them in their full color.

In addition to their scales, they have fins on their heads, all the way to their backs, and they also have fins on their wrists and ankles. The fish-people's fingers and toes are slender and reticulated. Their eyes bulge outwards like large tea trays, and their eyelids have two even. Fishmen have small snouts with ears that look like grooves on either side of their heads, but their lips are thick and their teeth are small and pointed, and gills are clearly visible next to their necks.

Fishman Strength:

The strength of ordinary fishmen is similar to that of a farmer with an iron fork, while the elite fishman can reach the level of a beginner human warrior.

Elite Fishmen are generally known as Fish-Man Tide Callers, Fish-Man Assassins, Fish-Man Tide Hunters, Fish-Man Sea Beast Divisions, Fish-Man Knights, and so on.

The overall strength of the fish people is biased, the beginner fish people are the main force of the fish people, a small number of middle-level fish people will become the tribal leaders and mainstays of the fish people, and the high-level fish people are even rarer, only a large tribe of tens of thousands of fish people can be born and even lead the tribe, and the legendary fish people are almost the objects of respect of every fish people.
