Chapter 104: The Power of the Ancient Dark Murlocs
Yes, if conditions permit, who wouldn’t want to continue the clearing mission and earn more points.
Moreover, with this third-level wizard apprentice from his own school present, the person behind Jenna, even if he was somewhat suspicious of her in a short period of time, would still be cautious and would not take action against her without definite evidence.
Therefore, it is also a good thing for the safety of the three of us to cooperate with this third-level wizard apprentice from our own school.
This third-level wizard apprentice from his own school was looking for the main purpose of their cooperation. Richard also saw clearly that the other party did not want to consume too much of his mental energy on those fish-men warriors below the intermediate level.
After all, in terms of cost performance, killing thirty ordinary fishmen warriors is far less profitable than killing one high-level fishman warrior.
Immediately, the three of them exchanged glances with Richard, and immediately agreed to the invitation to cooperate with their third-level wizard apprentices.
But before the few people could move forward, a violent energy fluctuation came from not far ahead.
"No, you're a step too late. I'll take the first step!" The third-level wizard apprentice from his own school seemed to have thought of something. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly cast a zero-level witchcraft related to the wind element.
I saw several light cyan air currents visible to the naked eye swirling around his calf in an instant, and his body swayed, like an arrow, shooting straight ahead.
Richard and the other three looked startled, and followed closely behind them, immediately rushing towards the direction where the energy wave was coming from.
After a while, an underground river shoal covering an area of about a hundred square meters appeared in front of several people. Two large groups of people were confronting each other on the shoal.
On one side were several third-level wizard apprentices and more than twenty first- and second-level wizard apprentices, one of whom was a purple-haired boy. On the opposite side was a large group of fishmen, numbering nearly a hundred, engaged in a confrontation.
The energy fluctuation just now should be some kind of tentative confrontation.
Among this large group of murlocs, they are obviously led by an elderly murloc wearing tattered robes and holding a fish bone staff. There are several other high-level murloc warriors and a group of intermediate murloc warriors. They are like stars over the moon. Keep it in the center.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the elderly fishmen have a high degree of evolution. In addition to the fish head and dorsal fin, the webs on the palms and soles of the feet have been molted, and are not much different from ordinary human palms. The fish scales on the body are also extremely fine, almost You can't tell it's fish scales.
The expression on his face is also more human-like, with wrinkles and beard clearly visible.
Sharp-eyed Richard also discovered that directly behind the large group of murlocs, there seemed to be a depression in the rock wall of the shoal, covering an area of about thirty to forty square meters, with several braziers lit in the corners.
In the center of the brazier, there seems to be a circular magic circle about four meters in diameter. Within the magic circle, there are more than ten witchcraft runes with intricately intertwined patterns. The texture of each pattern is obviously glowing red, indicating that the magic circle is working. Continuous operation.
But what surprised Richard the most was that this seemed to be a sacrificial array, because in the center of the array were placed the corpses of at least seven or eight human wizard apprentices.
Each corpse had a wound on a specific part of the body, such as the inner thigh, armpit, carotid artery, etc. Richard looked at the cut location, which was basically the aorta. He thought the purpose of these wounds was to use To speed up the bleeding.
But the next second, Richard's pupils shrank and he clenched his fists!
It turned out that Richard, a master of archery, had extraordinary eyesight and could see the face-up corpses and the patterns on the chests of the gray wizard robes they wore. There are bone sticks, devil flowers, and plague bugs, and the number of the above symbols on each pattern exceeds two. Richard even saw a pattern with three symbols.
This means that several third-level wizard apprentices and many second-level wizard apprentices from the three major colleges have died at the hands of the fishmen in front of them.
Instantly, Richard had a bad premonition in his heart!
However, the strange thing is that the mysterious statue in his arms does not seem to be pointing in the direction of the large group of murlocs in front of him. They are in the direction of twelve o'clock, but the statue is pointing in the direction of nine o'clock.
But as for that direction, Richard took a closer look and found that it was the other side of the underground river. It was all thick rock walls and nothing else.
Richard was suddenly a little confused!
"It seems that everyone has almost arrived. You young people should be the elite among the human wizard apprentices. I wonder if the human wizards will be heartbroken if you are eliminated!" The old fishman opened his mouth and said All the wizard apprentices at the scene were shocked.
Because the other party actually spoke Akkadian, a wizarding language widely circulated in modern times.
At this time, the faces of many wizard apprentices at the scene turned ugly. It seemed that the old fishman in front of him, who could speak Akkadian, might be much more difficult to deal with than expected.
Immediately afterwards, a sinister and evil smile appeared on the wrinkled face of the old fishman: "Now that the food is all here, the dinner can begin!" "Old guy, you want to kill us, you're
dreaming Let’s do it!” A third-level wizard apprentice from Gurus Academy, also speaking in Akkadian, retorted disdainfully. Judging from the mental fluctuations of the old fishman, although it is very powerful, it is definitely not the official wizard level, that is, The strength of a top level three wizard apprentice.
But at the scene, there were no less than five third-level wizard apprentices from the three major undead wizard academies. He didn't believe that so many people together couldn't deal with one old fishman.
Suddenly, the old fishman recited some kind of ancient spell in Akkadian. Richard vaguely understood it, and the translation was: "Great fishman lord, please accept the sacrifice of the blind fishman group, and give the humble Please help the servants!"
"No! Interrupt it! The other party is offering sacrifices!" Obviously, Richard could understand it. It was easier for the third-level wizard apprentice on the scene to understand, and he shouted to stop it in an instant. .
Unfortunately, before the witchcraft of many wizard apprentices could be released, the sacrificial circle suddenly emitted a burst of dazzling red light, and a terrifying murloc over three meters tall and holding a big knife suddenly appeared on top of the circle. .
The giant swordfish man's body was filled with black energy. There were long spikes all around the huge fish head, and the dorsal fin behind him was even bigger. Suddenly, it roared towards the sky, and in the next second, a shock wave visible to the naked eye appeared in a circle. The ring spreads out in all directions.
The third-level wizard apprentices in the venue instantly began to light up colorful protective shields.
As for the second-level wizard apprentices, they were basically blasted to the point of vomiting blood and flying backwards. The only few who used their trump cards, such as transforming into werewolves, barely blocked the opening show of this terrifying fishman.
The only second-level wizard apprentice with a calm expression was the purple-haired boy, but his face was extremely ugly at the moment. Like several third-level wizard apprentices, he said almost at the same time: "Ancient dark fish-man!" (This chapter
