Section 16 Arcane
Under the fox's prediction, Lance successfully dodged the attack of the Fishman Warriors, and continued to use the Spirit Fox sword technique to counterattack.
It's just that his strength is too low, and it seems that he can't do much damage to the strange scales of the Fishman Warrior, and can only use excellent dodge to deal with it.
The sailors all looked surprised, and in their minds, Lance seemed to be the first of them to deal with the Fish-Man Warriors!
With this performance, he can already be regarded as a master of swordsmanship.
Vera held Madir up, her big bright eyes staring at Lance's back. She was a little worried about Lance, because the Fish-Man Warrior was so tall and strong, and Lance was so thin, and the two were completely unequal in size.
If Lance was accidentally hit by the attack of the Fishman Warriors, I am afraid that he would be even more miserable than Madir! After all, the eldest cousin's figure is still very burly, otherwise ordinary people would have fainted long ago if they were attacked by the Fishman Warriors.
Looking at Vera's concerned look, the eldest cousin said a little sourly: "This kid is really cunning, he knows how to dodge, and that fishman is so stupid, he can't catch him." β
Vera pushed Madir angrily and glared, "That fish-man is obviously very powerful, do you want Mr. Lance to fight him like a fool?"
Madir's eyes were dark, and his body and mind were in severe pain, didn't the little cousin's words mean that he was a fool who had just fought hard with the Fishman Warriors?
......
"Can't break through the opponent's defenses!" the fox's voice seemed to become more and more mechanical.
Lance was sweating profusely, and the two had been fighting for a while, but neither could help anyone. The Fish-Man Warriors did not rush to attack very anxiously, but rubbed against Lance one by one.
His eyesight was very vicious, and he didn't have to support it for long.
Turning on Hawkeye and the prediction system is a very large physical drain on Lance. In addition, it has been dodging, and it is also very difficult.
"Aren't you alright?"
Lance said secretly in his heart, he gasped for breath to dodge the attack of the Fishman Warrior, and immediately returned the sword. His physical strength has reached a critical point, and if he supports it for a while, his movements will be deformed, and there will be a hole in his defense.
The Fish-Man Warrior apparently noticed this, and he pressed it back with a sinister smile, not giving Lance any breathing room.
His attacks are getting denser and denser, and the force attached to his weapons is getting stronger!
Lance had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing this scene, the hope that had just been ignited in the hearts of the sailors was extinguished again. Vera didn't know what to do, and helped Madil, anxious.
"Bang dang!"
The steel fork in the Fish-Man Warrior's hand knocked out the sword in Lance's hand, and he was cornered.
The Fish-Man Warrior smiled hideously, "See how you're hiding now?!"
Lance's eyes narrowed, and at this moment, a voice he had been waiting for for a long time finally came:
"Mr. Lance, everything is ready!"
When they looked back, they saw an old sailor on the ship, standing with two young sailors, carrying something black in their hands.
A bad feeling suddenly flashed in the Fish-Man Warrior's heart.
He jerked around to kill Lance, but when he turned around, he saw a dark purple ringβ
And Lance's eerie smile.
There was a sudden silence on the deck, and a ghostly whisper suddenly sounded, as if a ghost dressed in white had drifted between the masts.
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but shudder. The temperature on the deck seemed to have dropped by several degrees all of a sudden.
The dark purple ring flashed with a faint glow, and the Fish-Man Warrior only felt his body begin to go numb.
An unusually long human face suddenly emerged from the Arcane Ring, screaming and pounced on the Fish-Man Warrior!
The terrifying scream seemed to pierce the entire sea, and the deck and mast made a low trembling sound at the same time.
The Fish-Man Warrior took a half-step back, a look of fear in his bulging eyes. It's just that his movements are too slow for that pale face.
The sailors on deck only felt the roots of their teeth begin to tremble, and unspeakable fear rose from the bottom of their hearts.
When they looked at Lance, there was also a sense of awe and fear!
The face screamed and pounced on the Fish-Man Warrior's body, then quickly turned into a cloud of smoke and burrowed through the gap in his scales.
The Fish-Man Warrior's scales began to creak and crunch, and his bulging cheeks trembled.
In the next second, he suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared, everyone could see it clearly, the facial features on the fishman's face began to blur, and in an instant, the fishman's warrior's face became another face!
It was the terrifying face that had come out of Lance's Arcane Ring before!
The Fish-Man Warrior fell to his knees in pain, the steel fork in his hand falling to the side, and he suddenly began to frantically pick at his cheeks with both hands.
Bloody scales were torn from his neck, followed by his nose, ears, and other features.
"Hey...... Hey hey ......"
The fish-man warrior actually smiled lowly, but his face was already unrecognizable, and that weird smile made people's hearts rise a little chill.
For a moment, everyone trembled with fright and remained motionless, only to watch as the Fish-Man Warriors fell into a frenzied situation.
The others were frightened, but Lance was not, and he immediately stepped forward and shouted to the sailors, "Get on board, do as I said!"
The old sailor woke up from a dream, beckoned to some of his companions, and threw his things out of the way.
The dense three-layer fishing net suddenly enveloped the crazy fish-man warrior in it.
Lance shouted, "Hurry up, hang him up, he may come to his senses at any time!"
A few sailors just lifted their spirits, no matter how terrifying Lance was, after all, it was also their side. And the Fish-Man Warriors are their enemies.
With the concerted efforts of everyone, the Fishman Warrior was caught in a fishing net and hoisted high. His weapons were also put away.
Seeing the Fish-Man Warrior hanging in mid-air and going berserk, Lance finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's finally done. β
While thinking about this, he couldn't help but glance at the arcane ring in his hand, and he was impressed by the performance of the fish-man warrior just now.
"I can't imagine this arcane, so terrifying. "This is the first time Lance has used this [Crazy Mind] arcane, and he didn't expect that the Fish-Man Warriors would not even have the power to resist under the arcane attack.
That's why he cautiously instructed the old sailors to prepare fishing nets for emergencies, but as soon as the spell of Lu Dao was shot, the fish-man warriors fell directly into madness.
The power of the spell is too powerful. Lance couldn't help but sigh.
It was at this time that he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the people around him were very different.
There was gratitude, awe, and happiness in that gaze......
More than that, but fear.
They seem to be looking at a monster.
Lance sighed inwardly, and at this time he suddenly understood why wizards usually did not live with mortals. Because they are two completely different creatures from mortals, the former fears the latter with the power they control, and the former finds the former bored by their ignorance and ignorance.
"Pack up, those fishmen shouldn't catch up, we must get to Winterhaven as soon as possible. Lance said lightly:
"By the way, that guy's belt, I want it. β
With that, he gestured to the Fish-Man Warrior, then turned and walked back to his cabin.
......
Under the silent candlelight, Lance gently lowered the black belt in his hand.
It took him more than two hours to identify the role and efficacy of the belt with his knowledge and ability.
"This is a Tier 0 demonic item, a notch lower than the Arcane Ring. Lance silently tucked away his belt, the inscription on it was written in a language he didn't recognize, making it impossible for him to use the demonized item for the time being. According to Lance's speculation, this is supposed to be a sea language.
The fish-man warrior didn't know where he got this item, but he probably thought it looked good, so he hung it on his waist. He probably didn't even know that this was a demonic item.
According to Lance's identification, this is a [Swift Wind Belt], which demonizes a 0-order spell Swift Wind. When activated with inscriptions and spells, the user's agility can be increased for a short period of time. Speaking of which, in low-level battles, it is still very practical.
"It's a pity that there are not many books in the teacher's collection that are related to the Hai language. With some regret, Lance put the belt in the space of the Arcane Ring.
Without the activation inscription and mantra of the Enchanted Item, it is impossible to use the Enchanted Item. For example, the arcane ring in Lance's hand clearly depicts the inscriptions and spells used in ancient Analects, so Lance can use that arcane when facing the Fish-Man Warriors.
It's just that to Lance's heart, after using the Frenzy Mind once, the brilliance on the Arcane Ring has obviously dimmed.
According to the fox's estimates, the lifespan of the Arcane Ring has been reduced by about a third. In other words, if he doesn't use this ring to cultivate, he can use the arcane attached to it up to two times.
Fortunately, this battle Lance harvested not only an unusable demonic item, but also a [Mutated Gill]. The mutated gills were found from a red-cheeked fishman who had died on the deck, and Lance naturally unceremoniously took his trophy.
This is only found on fishmen, and is one of the main ingredients for making underwater breathing potions, and according to Amman, even wizards on Rainbow Island pay a premium for it.
The value of a mutated gills exceeds that of an ordinary Tier 0 demonized item.
......
Six days later, the Queen Lisa sailed safely into Winterhaven.
Lance declined Vera's invitation and disembarked alone. He didn't stay too long in the bustling city, but rented a carriage and drove non-stop to the Whispering Forest in the north.
