Chapter Ninety-Three: The Fish-Man's Egg
Jinxi Manor is still a little far from the shore. To be precise, it was built on a small island not far from the shore. I don't know what the reason is, but suddenly a group of fishmen appeared and occupied Jinxi Manor.
Before entering the water, Eric applied the underwater breathing potion to his cheeks, which caused a subtle change in the cheeks: several cracks opened on them, making Eric's cheeks look like fish gills.
Experiencing the effects of underwater breathing potions for the first time, Eric felt that the diving device in his previous life was simply weak. However, he still missed one point: he didn't prepare diving goggles!
Whenever Eric moves a little more in the water, the nearby fishmen will look towards him. This forced Eric to slow down his dive.
The dark, cold waters caused Eric to spend a lot of time searching for the hiding place of the Fish-Man's eggs after arriving at the Golden Creek Manor, while he had to keep his eyes open all the time underwater, which quickly caused discomfort to Eric's eyes.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to find the sewer entrance of Jinxi Manor, only to see that the iron fence at the entrance had already been destroyed, and from time to time there were fishmen shuttling back and forth in it, and Eric could only move forward by clinging to the sewer wall.
The walls of the sewers were covered with slippery slime, some of which was floating in the water, almost sticking to Eric's eyes several times.
Sensing that the time for the underwater breathing potion to take effect was almost up, Eric sped up his pace. Soon, Eric's head surfaced.
Eric checked the surrounding area and stood up from the water when he saw that there were no fishmen. Then, follow the route signs in memory and weave through the sewers.
"Whoa!", a fish-man warrior ran towards Eric, the fish-man warrior was holding a hand axe made of rock, don't look at it as it was made of rock, but compared to human iron weapons, it was not much different, and even stronger than iron weapons.
Despite being invisible, the water streaks under his feet when he walked were clearly visible, so the vigilant fish-man warrior immediately ran towards this side.
Eric stopped, he wanted to wait for the Fishman Warrior to leave on his own after he didn't find anything, but Nacheng thought that the Fishman Warrior was a bit stupid, and kept running all the way, looking like he was about to crash into him.
"Poof!", the Fishman Warrior suddenly fell forward, and Eric sideways dodged the Fishman Warrior who was rushing at him. The Fish-Man Warrior, who had fallen to the ground, stood up, looked behind him in bewilderment, and left.
"Whew!" Eric said in a dark voice, but it was a good thing that he had just used the "High Mage Hand" and tripped under the feet of the fish-man warrior, otherwise he might have been exposed.
Exposure in this place is not a good result, and the fish-man's unique sonic distress method can quickly attract a large group of companions, and Eric will be caught in an endless battle.
Along the way, Eric finally approaches the hatchery of the Fish-Man's eggs, but the number of Fish-People grows.
Eric, who had been prepared for this, cast a "hallucination technique", and when an illusory sound sounded, all the fish-man warriors who were guarding outside the hatchery flocked to the source of the sound.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Eric quickly trotted into the hatchery. As soon as he entered, Eric saw that the castle hall of the Golden Creek Manor was covered with seaweed, and the seaweed was covered with fish-man eggs of various colors.
Although the fish-people are mostly active in the water, they need a dry place to hatch the fish-people's eggs, so the fish-people in the sea basically live in places with underwater caves.
The eggs of these fish-people come in white, reddish, blue, and even black. What Eric needs to steal is the blue Fishman Egg, which is one of the very few species.
The last line of defense is the Fish-Man Wizard, these Fish-Man are clearly different from the other Fish-Man in appearance, the other Fish-Man scales are a pale yellow color, while the Fish-Man Wizard is all blue without exception.
They walk back and forth in the hatchery chamber with a staff made of coral in their hands. Coral staffs are actually more valuable than fish-man eggs, they are all high-quality alchemical materials.
This time, when Eric cast the "illusion spell", the fish-man wizards only glanced at the source of the sound, or directly sent a "cold arrow" to hit it, but they stayed in place and continued to walk back and forth.
Counting the number of fish-man wizards, fortunately it was not very many, only ten.
This time it can only be hard-hitting, but before the collision, Eric first arranged the "Ghoul Rune Enchantment" at the door, looking at the materials that continue to be consumed, Eric felt a pain in his flesh.
After arranging the barrier, Eric slowly made his way to a fish-man wizard in the outermost part of the world, and when the fish-man wizard and his companions were the furthest away, Eric used "sleep magic" to put the fish-man wizard to sleep.
Then, Eric quickly dragged the sleeping Fishman Wizard into a corner, and before the other Fishman Wizards could react, he pulled out his dagger and stabbed it into the fish-man wizard's eye socket and stirred it a few times.
Looking at the other party's body, which was gradually losing its vitality, Eric reached out the back of his hand and made a flipping motion. Then, the corpse of the fish-man wizard stood up.
"Resurrected Zombies", this is just a zero-ring magic, but Eric only learned it after practicing the Advanced Meditation Method. The magic of "resurrecting zombies" is one of Cusack's collections.
Fish-man wizards who turn into zombies will attack any creature without any enemy, including Eric, the maker. So Eric stayed away from the zombie as soon as possible.
The zombie did not attack the other fish-man wizards at the first time, but sent out a "cold arrow" to shoot at the fish-man's egg, which was beyond Eric's expectation, he did not expect that the fish-man's egg was also a creature in the eyes of the zombie.
There was chaos in the hatchery room immediately, and the zombies had a limited time to exist, so Eric took the time to take two blue fish-man eggs and put them in his backpack, and immediately hid.
Luckily, the Fish-Man Egg is only the size of a coconut and fits easily into a backpack. The fish-man wizard who turned into a zombie was directly overturned by several other fish-man wizards before the time limit was reached.
An "ice arrow" flew towards Eric, who was still spotted.
After picking up the fish-man egg, Eric was ready to be discovered, after all, no matter how much he disguised it, the aura of the fish-man egg would be perceived by the fish-man wizard.
"Goo-hoo, goo-woo!" The fish-man warriors guarding outside the hatchery all rushed in, but they were all paralyzed by the "Ghoul Rune Barrier" on the ground for a moment.
The Fishman Warrior, who had been held behind, threw his axe at Eric. Instead of wasting time dodging, Eric jumped directly above the paralyzed Fishman warrior with the Wind Shield.
All the hand axes were stopped by the "Wind Shield", and Eric thought that it was good that there were no knights among the Fish-Man warriors, but when the "Ice Arrow" hit the "Wind Shield", Eric felt a little unable to support it.
"I've got, and the 'Wind Shield' is really biased towards protecting against physical attacks. Eric grumbled.
Letting the intruders steal the fish-man eggs right under their noses enraged, and more and more fish-men appeared in the castle halls.
It was impossible to leave the way he came, so Eric ran out of the hall, and as soon as he left the hall, he was greeted with an electric ball.
Eric, who rolled to the side in time, was still numb from the range attack of the electric orb, and then his movements stiffened for a moment. At the same moment, a merfolk warrior, who was noticeably taller and stronger than the other fishmen, slashed at Eric with a giant axe.
Eric, whose body had become stiff, immediately cast the "Wind Shield" to block the attack, but the "Wind Shield" was violently shaken.
Eric knew that his opponent's strength was at least that of a knight, so he moved two steps to dodge the second attack of the giant fish-man warrior and pressed his palm against him.
Immediately, the axe in the hand of the giant fish-man warrior seemed to have become much heavier, and not only did he no longer hold the axe, but he was also dragged out of balance. Eric has just used the "Chill Touch", a magic ring that can temporarily reduce the strength of enemies.
Now Eric understands better why wizards need to exercise their skills, there are many kinds of magic that need to be used in close quarters, if you are not agile enough, I am afraid that you will be killed alive by the enemy before you can use magic.
At the same time, Eric grabbed the body of the giant fish-man warrior with one hand, blocked it in front of him, and took a few ice arrows and electric balls for himself. Before the fish-men could form a siege, Eric rushed out of his pursuers.
Eric, who had run some distance, glanced back at the castle of Golden Creek Manor and felt that there was something in the castle. But now he doesn't have time to be curious.
Dodging several large nets in a row, Eric came to a wall and re-performed "silencer" and "stealth", but he was not sure to run away from the fish-man hunter's eyes.
The net woven by the fish-man hunter is very tough, plus the strength is enough, the accuracy is good, and the number is huge, if he goes on a rampage in the Golden Creek Manor, it will be a matter of time before he is caught in the net.
Although the aura of the fish-man's egg can be sensed by the fish-man wizard, other fish-people do not have this ability.
During his escape, Eric constantly changes directions, which gives the low-IQ Fishman Warrior and Fishman Hunter no time to react to change the direction of pursuit.
If these fish-people have a high IQ and can stand still like humans, I'm afraid the coast will be full of fish-people.
Soon after, Eric came to the beach, and instead of jumping into the water, he threw a fragment of a fish-man egg into the distance, which he picked up as he left the hatchery.
After throwing it, Eric scurried into the water without looking back, and this time he did not choose to swim back from the sea. Just kidding, comparing the swimming speed with the fishman, isn't this looking for death?
Eric took out a bottle of "Water Walking Elixir" and poured it down, then jumped out of the sea and ran towards the shore.
Eric, who had taken the "Water Walking Potion", felt the thrill of walking on the waves, and behind him appeared a dense group of fishmen, and the sea level was full of waves.
The occasional fish-man warrior who appeared in front of Eric was slashed by him with a single sword.
"Whoa!" a giant fish-man wizard rose from the sea in front of Eric, its eyes mocking.
