Until all the half-fish people at the scene fled, Wayne could no longer maintain the tense state of his whole body, and was a little paralyzed and half-knelt on the ground, and the body under the armor also sent a signal of pain.

The fighting style of exchanging injuries for life just now, although the lethality was amazing and the efficiency was extremely high, allowing him to avoid the siege of the half-fish man, but it also made him have more than a dozen bruises and abrasions on his body, and the high-intensity battle of just ten minutes almost consumed most of his physical strength.

Wayne half-knelt on the ground, gasping softly, and it took about five minutes for his body to recover a little under the effect of the swallow potion.

He stood up and walked to the altar of the Blood Pool deep in the cavern, passing by the corpse of the special half-fishman, without forgetting to put the strange staff forged from unknown metal into the storage bag.

In the pool of blood, those strange-looking octopuses were still rolling in the blood, and the six hostages sat in the pool of blood, leaning on the stakes, still not regaining consciousness.

Wayne stepped forward to check their pulses and snorts, faint but still alive.

However, when observing their faces, Wayne was a little shocked to find that many tiny octopus tentacles had grown out of the hostages' chins at some point.

Although it has not grown to twenty or thirty centimeters like that particular half-fish man, both the bones and flesh seem to have changed permanently because of this strange ritual.

This kind of weird thing made Wayne very worried, and he couldn't help but think of the plot of a horror movie such as the arrival of an evil god and the search for a physical body.

Perhaps, like an alien, there are already children of evil gods, conceived in the bodies of these hostages, waiting for the time to come out of their bodies.

He reached out and pulled the smallest little Earth Spirit Fitz out of the pool of blood, rolling his eyelids, his pupils dilated and unconscious.

He put the little guy into the cold water in the puddle next to him, and let the cold liquid cover his body, but unfortunately there was still no sign of awakening.

Seeing this scene, Wayne was also a little distressed, although the half-fish people in the cave may have fled, but if they want to leave this cave, they must pass through the hundreds of meters long underwater passage.

Wayne himself was able to pass through there with the help of the Human-Faced Demon Bird Amulet, but it would be a fool's dream to pass through with a few people who were unconscious and completely unable to move.

And none of these hostages are dead, and it doesn't seem appropriate to leave them here to fend for themselves.

Wayne had no choice but to look for other exits in the cave, but unfortunately after looking for half an hour, he didn't find the exit, but found a lot of pearl coral and other belongings as trophies to make up for the loss of his alchemy bombs.

And the hostages are still unable to wake up, which makes Wayne quite entangled.

Just when he didn't know how to act and was in a dilemma, accompanied by three small footsteps, a familiar voice suddenly came into his ears:

"Wayne, are you alright?"

"I've come to you with my father and mother."

Hearing the sound, Wayne turned his head to see three small earth spirits of different heights, dressed in simple fur clothes, purple skin, walking in his direction.

The little guy was a little anxious as he followed behind the two obviously older spirits, looking around with an uneasy expression.

After seeing Wayne, his eyes lit up immediately, and he wanted to run over with some excitement, but was pulled by another woman's little earth spirit.

After seeing Lala, Wayne smiled and nodded at her, then glanced at the other two older spirits.

Although in terms of appearance, the little earth spirits look similar, but the two little earth spirits who stand in front of Lala have a kind of elder-like calmness.

The male little earth spirit was obviously not young, not only had he reached about one meter two in height, but even his chin had grown a black and white beard.

He held a staff in his hand that was made of the bones of some unknown animal, and when he saw Wayne looking over, he nodded to Wayne quite politely and replied:

"Mr. Wayne, thank you for taking care of my daughter, Lala, and for the adventures you took to save my son, Fitz."

"My name is Cruze, and I'm the father of Lara and Fitz."

"I've heard that demon hunters must be paid for carrying out their commissions, and after this incident, I will definitely pay you a reward that satisfies you."

After saying this, he glanced back at his wife and daughter with anxious expressions, then looked at Wayne again, paused for a second, and asked:

"It depends, you've defeated the Half-Fish Priest here, I wonder how my child Fitz is doing now?"

Wayne nodded at Cruze, stretched out his hand and pointed to the blood pool altar behind him, and said truthfully:

"Mr. Cruz, I don't know the specifics."

"When I arrived here, a total of six hostages, including your son Fitz, were tied up in the Blood Pool Altar."

"They are performing evil rituals."

"I've killed the half-fishmen here, but I don't know anything about them, and I can't wake up your son."

"Anyway, it's best to get these people out of the cave first, this is the territory of the half-fishmen, and if you stay here too long, you might be attacked by the half-fishmen."

Hearing this, Cruz looked in the direction Wayne was pointing, his expression also returned to anxiety, he nodded at Wayne, did not say anything more, and immediately took his wife and Lala, and trotted towards the location of the pool of blood.

To Wayne's surprise, this male little Earth Spirit Cruze was actually quite a powerful spellcaster.

Although he was unable to save his son Fitz and the others, he was able to solve the difficulties that Wayne had previously been unable to take them from the water through magic spells, using levitation and underwater breathing.

However, after all, there were still too many people who needed to be rescued, and Wayne kept them safe all the way, and it took more than an hour to escort the Little Earth Spirit family and the five hostages who had not yet awakened to the location of the Fisherman King.

For this reason, he also had to drag his tired body and fight with a group of wild wolves.

On the way, Lara told him that while the little one was waiting outside the cave, her parents noticed something was wrong when they came home, and hurried from the house to find her, and the next scene happened.

When he reached the boat, the fisherman king was still sitting on the rock, with the corpses of several water spirits lying beside him.

He saw such a large group of people coming, and turned his head to look at his small boat again, and before he could say anything.

Angela's mother, Angela, who had been taking care of her son in the procession, suddenly walked to the shore, took out a green leaf from her clothes, and put it in her mouth to blow a melody.

Dozens of seconds later, a huge sea turtle with a body length of seven or eight meters suddenly crawled out of the bottom of the lake.

After seeing the giant turtle, Lara clapped her hands excitedly and said to Wayne:

"This is my mother's friend, Uncle Mandu, and I didn't expect him to come to Lake Vegema."

After the giant turtle climbed ashore, he talked to Angela in a language of unknown race, and then he prostrated himself and let Lala's father, Cruze, transfer all six people, including Fitz, to his back.

After doing all this, Cruze looked back at Wayne, casting spells for so long in a row, making the little earth spirit mage have a tired look on his face, he nodded at the witcher, and asked:

"Mr. Wayne, I must bring my child home as soon as possible and use the power of the Goddess Altar to help him ease the curse."

"As for the other five, I have no power to rescue them, so I can only temporarily transport them back to the vicinity of the swamp village and return them to the hands of humans."

"Is that okay?"

Wayne also nodded helplessly about this way of dealing with it, no one knows how to solve the ritual of the evil gods, and it is already merciful enough to be able to save them from the lair of the half-fishmen.

As for the fate of these people in the future, whether they can wake up and survive can only depend on their own luck.

And when they were discussing their countermeasures and preparing to leave Black Tern Island, the fisherman king, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Mr. Wayne, Lala, and the cursed Fitz."

"The goddess invites you and wants me to take you to her."

Wayne was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that the legendary goddess of the lake would invite him to meet tonight, and Cruz, who was still full of sadness, heard that the goddess wanted to see his daughter and son, and his face immediately showed an expression of excitement and joy, and said:

"Great, if the goddess is willing to bestow favors, my son Fiz will be safe and sound."

Seeing that Wayne didn't immediately agree, the little earth spirit mage Cruz thought that he was scrupling about something, or didn't know who the goddess of the lake was, so he opened his mouth to persuade him:

"Mr. Wayne, the Lady of the Lake is a good and great god who has sheltered the lake for thousands of years."

"It is precisely because of the protection of the goddess that this lake has not become a lair for the followers of the evil god Dagang."

"You destroyed the ritual of the evil god Dagang today and defeated his followers, and the goddess will definitely reward you for this."

Wayne was not afraid that the goddess of the lake would have any conspiracy against him, but he was just thinking about the goddess's intentions, and when he saw that the fisherman king was still looking at him with inquiring eyes, he nodded and agreed to the invitation.

This is a kind and upright god, and he will not suffer when he sees it.
