Chapter 103: Coward
"Damn, I should send these beasts to the Sea Ghost Woman!"
In the rainstorm, when the chief of the fish-turned people led hundreds of fish-like warriors of the tribe, looking at the mist-shrouded volcanic area in front of him, he couldn't help but curse the common curse of the fish-turned human race.
It followed the trail, and all the beast man's footprints in the town were headed towards the volcano.
It is also in a dilemma for a while when it finds this, and it is not okay to be irritable.
It's not that it can't get close to the volcano, it's that it suspects that the black dragon is in the middle of the volcano.
At that time, even if they have a hundred fish-turned human warriors, they will be in vain.
The time and place are favorable, and among the volcanoes, none of the three are superior.
But is it okay to just give up?
The fish-turned chief couldn't help but ask himself, it was a little unwilling, after all, it had suffered such a big loss, and even the sacrificial sea beasts were invited out by it.
If it really wants to go back, it will have to offer a large sacrifice to appease it.
But......
The Fishman Chief looked at the crater in the distance, which was bubbling red and burning in the torrential rain, and his expression was a little uncertain.
But in the end, the sunk cost overwhelmed it, and after it went ashore, it didn't catch a cat and turned into a human, which was really unwilling.
So, it decided to let some fish-man warriors come forward to test the water, explore the way, and see the situation.
Soon, bathed in torrential rain, they were halfway up the crater, surrounded by bare black rocks and a black surface like folds of skin.
There was no hole in sight, the traces of cat-like people had long disappeared from the mountain, and the smell had disappeared in the torrential rain, and they had no clue.
However, the Fishman Chief naturally did not believe that this volcano did not have internal caves, so he surveyed all the Fishman warriors separately.
Sure enough, not long after, under a huge volcanic rock in the southwest, the traces of a cave with the traces of a new volcanic brown mud masonry were found, and the camouflage of the traces was not very clever.
So much so that it is simply buried in a hurry, and it is the same as taking the initiative to let it discover.
However, the Fishman Chief had no choice, and he immediately ordered the warriors to use the trident as a shovel to dig up the volcanic mud at the mouth of the cave.
I didn't want to, but I dug less than a foot before I felt the hot air of the volcano rushing in.
As the mud cover completely collapsed, the originally spacious crater of the volcanic cavern was completely restored.
This only took them less than three minutes.
Looking at the deep downward entrance of the cave, the chief of the fish-turned people did not hesitate, he first sent a team of ten first-order fish-turned people to test.
Let's see if we can find traces of those cat-like people...... Wrong.
As soon as I entered the cave, I had already seen the conspicuous cat's paw prints of the cat-like man.
Needless to say, they've been here.
The fish-man chief looked at the ancient and old mottled marks on the rock wall, and it was obvious that this cave had existed for a long time.
Shouldn't be a trap..... Maybe find those damn cats!
"You guys go in! What's going on! Come out and report! Don't fight!"
The Fishman Chief gave an order to one of the Fishman warriors, this pair is the weakest in their clan, and they are not afraid of loss!
Anyway, it expects them to do something, and only hopes that they can test it for them.
However, before they entered, as a chief and a warlock, it did not forget to use the two-ring spell [Crowd Endurance Environment] on all fish-turned people.
It can protect the patient from extreme cold or heat.
Otherwise, the fish-turned man who lives in the sea all year round will be unable to endure the erosion of flames, which is also the reason why it dares to come to the volcano.
The bodies of those fish-turned people are also wrapped in a magical shield that can block the heat wave.
Although it can't withstand any damage, it can still keep the temperature of the hot air around the fish-turned person within an acceptable range.
As a group of fish-turned warriors entered the search, the chieftain, or warlock, had time to look behind him.
At the foot of the volcano was an octopus sea beast with forty-foot-long sucker tentacles that was boringly breaking through the trees of the surrounding forest.
It's hard to ride a horse~
The Ichthy Chieftain regretted it a little, it was a little carried away by the death of the caster.
Even one of the most important volcanic rings on the island of Rika has been forgotten.
But who wants to stay in it in a normal person!
Although it could not recognize Gordon as a dragon, it was clear that it was inferior to the tyrannical red dragons.
No matter what, it's a big deal, let this octopus sea beast that has reached the fifth order fight that black dragon.
Anyway, no matter who dies, it doesn't lose.
The Fishman Chief thought to himself with some self-defeat.
Actually, it was right.
When the octopus sea beast died, it just got rid of the sacrificial sacrifices, and when the black dragon died, everyone was happy.
However, before that, it is necessary to find out their location in the mountains, so that they can sacrifice the octopus sea beast behind them, otherwise, the sea monster's physical strength will be consumed for too long, and it may not listen to the command and retreat into the sea.
At that time, it could be described as the worst ending for fish-turned people.
Not only did the cat-man not retaliate in the end, but it also set up a large amount of sacrifice to the sea beast.
That's not pretty.
It was also when the fish-turned human sacrifice was anxiously waiting for news outside.
The ten-person fish-man warriors inside were also terrified to walk through the volcanic passages of the surrounding walls, looking for traces of cat-transformed people.
The passage is not as direct as imagined, except for the straight section at the beginning, and the back is a regular passage that presents a right angle.
So much so that they feel like they've walked enough to get to the center of the crater, but the truth is still on the periphery of the volcano.
"Boss~ Otherwise, let's go back!"
"I always felt something was wrong!"
One of them, who was thinner than the others, said to the leader of the squad in front.
"No, coward, the chief told us to find those damned cats!
The captain of the fish-turned man flatly refused, and now the chief can be angry, and there is no good fruit to eat when he returns.
"But it's said that there is a dragon ...... inside."
The fish-turned man knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he could only tell the truth, and retreated with a little cringe.
"What! Who do you listen to?"
The captain of the fish-turned man frowned slightly, it didn't know that there were dragons.
It is only known that the reason the chief summoned them was because the cat-like people dared to kill the spellcaster, and now they are here for revenge.
"I was standing beside the chief and listening to him all the way, but I didn't dare to tell anyone...... Captain, let's go back, if we go any further, we may really die......"
Captain Fishman's voice heard the coward speak like this, and he hesitated a little, at this moment.
There was a faint sound from the corner ahead, some commotion, but small.
The captain of the fish-turned man hurriedly stepped forward with his webbed feet, leaned forward to take a look, and a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.
"Found them!"
Inside, on a platform not far from the corner, there are piles of cat-like people, which are exactly what they are looking for!
They were leaning against a platform away from the lava lake, snorting and sticking out their tongues.
Obviously, they didn't have a caster, and some of them were a little hot, and it seemed that they couldn't last long.
"Now we can go back, we can tell the chief!
"That's it, we're done, coward, happy?"
The captain of the fish-turned man said happily to his subordinates behind him, and by the way, he teased the cowardly fish-turned warrior who was in a hurry to go back just now.
But as soon as it finished saying this, it saw that the happy looks of its imaginary teammates did not appear, including the coward.
They all looked behind it with fear and sluggishness, around the corner.
Especially the coward, whose fish-like sharp teeth chattered up and down.
The trident with a broken fork in his hand could not be held, and it landed on the volcanic rock with a clanging crunch.
At this time, the captain of the fish-turned man quickly turned his head and saw the corner.
A monster with dark golden pupils was lying upright around the corner, poking its head out to look at them, like white fangs standing out in a dark hole.
However, in its vertical pupils, there seems to be disappointment~.
Why disappointment?
But the Captain of the Fishman didn't have the heart to think about it anymore.
It's all over the head.
True...... Is there a dragon? and run! Inform the Chief!
But ideas never come as fast as actual actions!
Just as the captain of the fish-turned man was about to shout out of here, the black dragon had already swooped down on him with a sharp grip.
The smell of sulfur on its body was so strong that it wanted to sneeze.
It hurriedly blocked it with its own weapon, but the dragon was agile enough to make a left turn to block the trident stab.
Then he came towards him with his other paw with great skill, like a seasoned two-knife pirate at sea.
This time, it's inevitable.
The pain of the sharp blade cutting through the chest followed, and the only thing it felt was that its flexible body began to become heavy due to the sharp pain.
It staggered a few steps, lost its balance and fell to the ground!
Feel the heat coming from beneath you, and the fishy liquid.
Is it going to die?
Noise and roar came from behind it, and the black dragon was undoubtedly in pursuit of its teammates.
However, it seems that the escape of teammates is useless.
In its peripheral vision just now, it saw the way the monster moved.
It can actually walk sideways, just like those human crabs, and is completely unaffected by the slowdown of the right-angle turn cave.
However, there seems to be a fish-like person accompanying it here, a coward who saw the black dragon and was directly paralyzed on the ground, unable to run.
The captain of the fish-turned man looked at the coward who was lying on his stomach and couldn't run, trembling.
It wanted to say something, but it didn't.
However, with the final depression of consciousness, the coma caused by excessive blood loss.
Let it still say the last words to the coward before he lost consciousness.
"Coward!
......
It wasn't long before the sulphurous owner returned to the place, its vertical pupils scanning the unconscious Ichthy Captain and the trembling Ichthy Warrior.
When he wanted to make a move, a timid voice came from under his paws.
"Great True Dragon Lord, I want to live!
It froze, withdrew its claws, looked at the warrior, who was obviously thinner than the other fish-turned warriors, and said with interest.
"And at what cost?"
"I can help you!
The voice of the coward is in the volcanic rock passage, loud and loud~
