Chapter 197: Hunt and Kill
In the anxious waiting, time kept passing.
No matter how anxious your heart is, the change of things will not be transferred by will.
The ship gradually sank.
This is an extremely realistic thing, and it is so naked in front of the eyes of many apprentices present.
They looked at each other with some silence.
It's not that no one is nervous, in fact, each of them is in a solemn mood.
It's just that as wizards, they have the ability to control their emotions, so despite their nervousness, no one shouts and shows the slightest ugliness.
As wizards, they were still thinking rationally at the moment, and clearly understood that yelling at this time was useless, on the contrary, it would attract the attention of those sea tribes outside, adding a little more danger to themselves.
For what they were going to do in front of them, they had already thought about it in their hearts.
"The puppets on the ship are ready, as long as we give us the order, they will take the initiative to jump down and create opportunities for us......."
"Also, everyone has memorized the map of the nearby islands, right?"
On the ship, the apprentice in charge of the operation of the ship spoke, and his face looked a little complicated at this time.
He was originally an apprentice in charge of steering the ship, and he was usually in charge of handling the ship, traveling to and from various continents.
But now it seems that if there are no accidents, perhaps his journey will end here.
Those who sail on the sea will eventually die in the sea.
But for this, everyone present was mentally prepared.
The preparations are ready.
On the deck, a black-robed puppet picked up a knife and slashed a few times at his body.
A scarlet stream of black blood flowed from them, dripping onto the deck, and then continuing downwards, dripping into the sea, staining the vicinity crimson.
It seemed that attracted by this bloody aura, the surrounding sea tribes seemed to be more chaotic, and they were inexplicably a little restless.
These black-robed puppets are all boatmen on the ship.
If a ship wants to sail, it needs all kinds of things, and the wizards who stay behind and control them are the most basic.
In addition to these, there are also sailors who are required to take care of a number of other things.
These puppets are this character.
They are refined by ordinary people through the special techniques of wizards, although after special treatment, their minds are close to nothing, but they are still alive, and they also have a subtle mana aura on their bodies, which still has a certain attraction to those sea tribes.
When the ship is completely silent, many of the apprentices present will disperse in the direction agreed in advance.
At that time, these sea tribes below will definitely catch up.
At that time, through these puppets under his hands, he may be able to distract these sea tribes and reduce their power to chase them.
Either way, it's an attempt.
Anyway, without their orders, these puppets would just stay in the ship, and then they would also be buried in the mouths of these sea tribes.
Instead of wasting it in vain, it is better to use the waste and let them play some residual value.
Anyway, that's the way it is.
Time kept passing, and in the outside world, patches of sea water were playing with white waves, and under the deep sea water, vague figures kept flashing under it, like a fierce beast, opening its huge mouth, to devour them one by one.
The water was rushing by, and the ship was sinking until it was about to be completely submerged.
"Almost. β
On the entire ship, the highest-ranking black-robed apprentice felt it for a moment, and then said with a solemn face and issued an order.
As he spoke, the apprentices present also had solemn faces and began to prepare.
Everyone knows that next, a race of life and death is about to begin.
This time, the loser is stuck in the abyss, without the slightest exception.
However, they are mentally prepared for this.
With the black-robed apprentice's order, several apprentices stood there, muttering softly, as if casting some kind of spell.
Chen Heng raised his head, faced the sea breeze, and looked ahead.
On the deck, the puppets that stood up gradually changed, and the aura of that mana became more and more intense.
As a result, their presence was greatly increased, even surpassing that of many of the apprentices present.
Below, it seemed that a strong mana aura was felt, and under the dual stimulation of mana and bloody qi, those sea clans began to riot and became more and more irritable.
From time to time, a sea tribe emerges from the sea, revealing its hideous head.
At this time, Chen Heng had the extra effort to observe the appearance of these sea clans.
Normally, ordinary sea tribes are the same as the royal families in the sea tribes, and the lower half of their bodies are fishtails.
It's just that their upper bodies are not like this, and they all look very hideous, without the appearance of people at all.
According to the records of some sources, there is a criterion for judging the royal bloodline in the Sea Clan.
With a few exceptions, the more human-like the upper body of most sea tribes, the thicker their bloodline and the higher their level.
For example, the previous sea tribe sacrifice, except that the lower body is still a fish tail and there are still some fish scales on the face, there is basically no difference from a human.
However, ordinary sea clans are undoubtedly terrifying, especially for ordinary mortals, they can be regarded as hideous.
They all look like scary creatures, the kind that can eat people.
Of course, in fact, they do like to eat people, especially people with strong vitality and mana.
These apprentices in bed, for example, are their favorite rations.
Ahead, the movements of the black-robed apprentice continued.
After activating the mana aura on the puppets to the maximum, he directly ordered to throw these puppets out.
With a loud sound, more than a dozen puppets were thrown in at the same time.
Following pre-set orders, they struggled wildly in the water, trying to rush out.
Blood flowers bloom one by one.
The moment the puppet fell into the sea, many sea tribes that had been waiting below for a long time pounced on it, and a pair of hideous giants bit it directly.
Then, blood flowers bloomed from the sea and spread.
"Let's go!"
Looking at this scene, the black-robed apprentice did not hesitate at all, and directly shouted loudly, and then jumped forward and rushed directly in a certain direction.
Before jumping down, he deliberately glanced in the direction where Chen Heng was.
Chen Heng naturally understood what he meant, so he also jumped down.
As for the other apprentices, they also did not hesitate and jumped one after another.
Blood flowers are blooming.
Not all of the apprentices are proficient swimmers.
Those apprentices who were not proficient in water and did not master the corresponding spells themselves were the first to fall into blood mold at this moment.
One by one, the sea tribe bit directly on them, biting a large hole in their bodies.
In the water, they struggled and roared, but to no avail.
If it is on the deck, these apprentices can still fight with many apprentices, but if they are in the sea water, their strength cannot be exerted at all, and they are powerless to resist in the face of the sea tribes gnawing around them.
All around, listening to the miserable shouts behind them, the other apprentices did not have the slightest intention of turning back to rescue, but rushed forward one by one, trying to swim forward.
To put it bluntly, if you can choose for yourself, these people can't wait to become a fish at this moment, and just swim away, so as not to face the murderous sea clan behind.
People continue to lose their lives and are caught up by the sea tribe, but there are also a small number of people who have barely shaken off some of the sea tribes and are trying to rush forward.
"Shake off the ....... for the time being"
Following the black-robed apprentice's side, Chen Heng struggled forward while sensing the situation behind him.
In the spiritual induction, there is a huge amount of malice behind him, which may approach at any time.
Judging from the information obtained by the induction, the speed of this group of sea tribes was very fast, and in just a short period of time, they crossed a long distance and chased directly behind them.
But the strange thing is that despite their speed, they never thought to rush up, but only maintained a speed that was neither fast nor slow, and fell far behind them.
"This group of sea tribes...... Waiting for our strength to run out......"
Traveling forward with difficulty, feeling the situation of the group of sea clans behind him, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's heart.
Obviously, for these two third-level apprentices, the Sea Clan also knew that it was difficult to deal with.
If he rushed over at this moment, he would inevitably face the explosion of the two third-level apprentices before they died.
Even if you can gnaw it down at that time, the loss will be not small.
Therefore, this group of sea clans chose to fall far behind them, waiting for the power in their bodies to be exhausted, and it would be much easier to attack again when the time came.
This creates a special kind of wrestling.
Chen Heng and the others must arrive on the island before their strength is exhausted, otherwise they will be devoured by the group of sea clans behind them.
This competition is durability.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
I have to say that although it was a matter of strategy, the countermeasures in front of the Sea Clan did make the two of them breathe.
If this group of sea clans was not afraid of casualties and rushed forward directly regardless of it, then the outbreak of Chen Heng and the two before they died could indeed kill many sea clans and make the other party suffer heavy losses, but they would also inevitably die, and no accidents would happen.
And if the other party chooses so, it gives them a chance, although it is slim, but there is still hope.
In terms of the consumption of strength, Chen Heng is still a little confident.
This time, although he did not bring out all his family wealth, he also brought a lot of things.
The magic weapon that Chari handed him had been worn by him all along.
In addition, some demonic items made by himself, as well as a large number of mana crystals, he still has a lot of these things.
When it really comes to the critical moment, you can completely absorb the power contained in the mana crystallization to replenish yourself.
In terms of consumption, Chen Heng is not afraid at all.
I just don't know how other people are.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but turn around and look ahead.
There, the black-robed wizard was still desperately rushing forward.
He also has a lot of demonic items on his body, after all, he is a third-level apprentice, and his family background can't be too bad.
In addition to that, his water nature is also very good, and his movements are fast at the moment.
Because of their physical strength, their speed completely surpassed that of the other apprentices, and they were moving forward rapidly.
Time flies slowly.
As time passes, their power is rapidly being consumed.
Behind them, the group of sea tribes were still the same as before, not far away, not close, just hanging there, as if they were waiting for them to completely lose the power to resist.
However, Chen Heng could feel that at this moment, in their mental fluctuations, some impatient mood fluctuations had emerged.
It seems that at this time, these sea tribes are finally about to be unable to hold back, and they are about to really do it.
"How much longer?"
Thinking of this, Chen Heng looked at the black-robed apprentice in front of him and asked.
"It's coming soon!"
The black-robed apprentice's slightly wheezing voice sounded heavy with exhaustion.
In fact, not only him, but even Chen Heng also felt tired at the moment.
Chen Heng himself was not only a third-level apprentice, but also a knight, and he could feel such a clear sense of exhaustion, let alone him.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had demonic items on his body and barely recovered some of his energy, I'm afraid he would have fallen down at this moment.
According to him, they were very close to their destination at the moment, and it would take another hour at most to arrive.
In this regard, Chen Heng nodded, and then turned to look behind.
Behind them, those sea tribes became more and more impatient, seeing that they were already a little uncontrollable, and they were about to make a move.
Chen Heng already had a premonition.
Before they are truly out of danger, they may face a real challenge.
And this challenge should be soon.
This thought flashed through his mind, and he followed the black-robed apprentice forward, trying to rush forward.
As the black-robed apprentice said, the islands ahead gradually appeared.
It's a very small island, not very large, but there is vegetation on it, and it looks pretty good.
As long as they landed on this island, there was not much that these sea tribes could do with them.
They will also be able to avoid this danger and gain safety.
But by this time, those sea tribes had also endured to the limit.
One after another, the Sea Clan rushed forward and let out a roar.
Looking at this appearance, it's finally time to go head-to-head.
In this regard, Chen Heng was not surprised at all, and waved his hand directly.
A violent outburst of spiritual deterrence, and all the surrounding sea clans were hit, and they fell directly into a state of stupor.
Behind him, the Sea Clan, who had been frantically moving forward and trying to hunt down Chen Heng and the others, was suddenly missing.
Soon, though, more sea tribes rushed out.
The number of these sea clans was dense, and it was impossible to count them at a glance, thinking that they were going to directly submerge Chen Heng and the others.
After these low-level sea clans, the figure of the previous sea clan sacrifice loomed, accompanied by a powerful mana aura, and he looked like he was about to make a move at any time.
"Damn it!"
Feeling the situation in front of him, Chen Heng's face turned pale, and he turned to look at the black-robed apprentice: "What should I do next?"
"Let's rush together!"
The black-robed apprentice gritted his teeth and spoke.
On his body, the aura of mana faintly appeared, as if he was casting some powerful spell.
"Help me buy some time!"
He snarled, his face full of hideousness.
"Good. β
Chen Heng didn't care about saying anything, he nodded directly under the siege of many sea clans, and tried his best to parry those sea clans.
He's very strong, but it's hard to play in this environment.
It didn't take long for his body to be covered in color, and crimson blood flowed out.
And the blood flowing out of these third-level apprentices, which was perceived by those sea tribes, seemed to make them even more excited, and rushed towards Chen Heng as if they were crazy.
"Are you alright?"
In a group of sea clans, Chen Heng barely parried, and through the shock of spiritual power, he let out an angry roar.
"Alright. β
Behind him, the voice of the black-robed apprentice continued, but at this moment, it seemed extraordinarily calm, even with some indifference.
A powerful rush came, accompanied by the surge of spell particles, and just like that, a spell was formed, and it rushed forward.
Under Chen Heng's incredulous gaze, this spell directly hit him, and then pushed him forward hard.
He went straight into the arms of a group of sea tribes and struggled among the sea tribes.
Attracted by Chen Heng, the footsteps of those sea clans stopped one after another, and the sea clans who originally pursued the black-robed apprentices became scarce.
Feeling this scene, the black-robed apprentice's face was indifferent.
"Don't blame me......."
He tried to rush forward, while manipulating himself with mental power to maintain his balance: "If you want to blame, blame you for being too young and naΓ―ve......"
The thought crossed his mind, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Behind him, Chen Heng's miserable screams kept coming, but they did not leave the slightest trace on him.
The wizarding world is like this, cold and ruthless, and using each other is the norm.
Things like this in front of him didn't seem to him to be worth mentioning.
Next, he tried to rush forward, wanting to take advantage of the fact that the sea clan was entangled, and get ashore as soon as possible, so as to avoid further twists and turns.
As he moved, the land ahead of him became closer and clearer.
Seeing that, he would be able to escape the pursuit of the sea tribe and regain his life.
Feeling this, he couldn't help but feel a touch of joy in his heart.
But at the same time, a feeling that something was wrong was rapidly rising.
In his mind, his mental power vibrated wildly, and an extremely dangerous feeling arose, as if to remind him of something.
"That's not right!"
Soon, he realized that something was wrong and came to his senses completely.
In front of him, scenes clearly appeared in front of him.
At this moment, he is indeed trying to move forward, but he doesn't know when, but the direction is completely offset.
In front of him, there was not an island at all, but a group of bloodthirsty sea tribes.
He unexpectedly shifted his direction and took the initiative to rush towards the group of sea tribes.
"How is that possible!"
Suddenly, he was stunned, and a coolness appeared in his heart: "My spirit ......"
It was only then that he realized what had just happened.
At that moment, just when he wanted to make a move, his spirit was so confused that he directly shifted his direction and took the initiative to rush towards this group of sea clans.
