Chapter 84: Green-scaled Double-Sword Murloc (4000+ chapters to follow). Most of
these creatures have fish heads and human bodies. A long dorsal fin runs through the spine of the back. There are occasional long spikes on the dorsal fin, and the end seems to be exuding a faint blue. The colored light seemed to be highly poisonous.
The weapons held in their hands were mainly harpoons, broadswords, and short spears, and two or three were holding short bows. The equipment seemed to be very crude.
There was only one obviously larger fish-man, holding two swords, and the scales on his body were more eye-catching in color, they were green, and he was taking a nap against the rock wall at this time.
Since Richard had already carefully read the introduction to the underground race in the imprinted crystal before, Richard recognized at a glance that the other party belonged to the fish-men group of the underground race.
Moreover, the only one who needs extra attention seems to be the double-sword green-scaled murloc.
According to the description in the mark crystal, the double-sword green-scaled murloc is most likely an intermediate-level murloc warrior, with combat power approximately equivalent to that of a second-level wizard apprentice, with knight-level physical strength, plus some superficial innate witchcraft and water arrows. Breath, acid splash, lesser hydrotherapy, etc.
After Richard finished his observation and slowly retreated into the passage, he told the four people about the situation ahead: "There is a small group of murlocs on the foreshore ahead. Among them are eight ordinary murloc warriors and one holding a double sword. There is an intermediate fishman warrior, and the double-sword fishman needs to be focused on.
How to fight? If you have any ideas, you can tell me."
Although Richard already had a general idea, as the captain, he still wanted to encourage the team members If they can offer suggestions, they might have some good ideas that will make his eyes shine.
Andrea thought for a moment and said: "If we go directly, we should have no problem defeating them. The problem is, if we want to earn points, we'd better annihilate them all." Richard glanced at the legend
approvingly The illegitimate son of the duke in the story seems to have been influenced by him since he was a child, which is almost exactly the same as his idea.
"Then how can we annihilate the opponent?" Ram asked. His original idea was to kill as many as he could, but he didn't know that his teammates were so ambitious and wanted to annihilate the opponent.
Suddenly, everyone was silent for a while. The problem lies here. If the other party is just a monster and has low intelligence, it is easy to handle. Just lure the other party here deliberately.
For example, let Courtney shoot an arrow deliberately and then run away immediately. Basically, if it is a monster, it will chase her.
But if the other party is obviously an intelligent creature, then the problem arises. One possibility is that the other party may not necessarily come after him.
The second is that the opponent is chasing them, but they may only send two or three fishmen warriors to check the situation.
The third is to chase them all in a swarm.
Obviously, if it's one and two, it's better to launch a sneak attack directly, which may result in more results.
A direct alchemy bomb sneak attack is not a good idea, because Richard has already seen the fish-man eyeballs in the raw materials column in the mark crystal.
Although it is not as good as the more advanced evil-finned fish-man eyeballs and dark fish-man eyeballs, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!
After collecting them, you can also exchange them for points. Although they are not as valuable as high-level fishmen, they can add up to a lot.
Several people discussed for a while.
In the end, it was agreed that Richard, the best in bow and arrow skills, would lure the fishmen.
If the fishmen only send two or three people to check the situation after being attacked, then Richard will continue to be responsible for killing them alone.
This can create an illusion for the fishmen, as if the enemy is just a human wizard apprentice like Richard, and it is very likely that he will lure them all to attack.
Of course, the team also discussed it. As soon as Richard made a surprise attack, everyone on the other side jumped into the underground river and ran away.
In this case, Richard would focus on holding back the double-sword fishman. After all, the double-sword fishman must have the highest points, so the kill has the highest score.
In the last case, it would be best if the opponent rushes over in a swarm.
At this time, Ophelia, who was responsible for cutting off the rear, scattered self-exploding mushrooms on the fish-men's back path, and quickly used the extraordinary magic to cultivate them.
It works wonders when the Murloc is ready to escape.
So, Richard inserted the Bone Summoning Staff into his waist, picked up the Shadow Stalker giant bow on his back, secretly stepped forward, and aimed at the patrolling fishman warrior dozens of meters away.
When the fishman warrior happened to be patrolling back and forth, his back was turned to Richard again.
Richard seized the opportunity and quickly shot an arrow, only to hear a "Whoosh!"
The long steel arrow, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, shot directly into the back of the fishman warrior.
The sound of breaking through the air immediately woke up the rest of the resting fish-men warriors.
The moment they opened their eyes, what they saw was the scene of their patrol companion being penetrated by a steel arrow.
Just hearing a scream from the patrolling fishman, he fell down!
This made the other murlocs jump up immediately, yelling "Gujiguji." They looked around for the enemy.
Soon, they discovered and locked on Richard, who deliberately exposed himself. They looked at the giant bow in Richard's hand, and they knew that it was the hateful human in front of them who sneaked up on them and shot his companion.
Richard also listened carefully to the other party's language for a while, but he guessed that it was fish-man language, and he didn't understand a word anyway.
The fish-man with two swords he was focusing on had already woken up. He was holding two swords and staring closely at Richard. He kept shouting something at the other fish-men.
After a while, the double-sword fishman waved his hand, and the three fishmen rushed towards Richard.
Richard smiled when he saw it. Just like the second situation he judged before, he only sent three ordinary fishmen, so he dared to come and chase him.
At this time, according to the plan, he was responsible for killing these murloc warriors, so as to further stimulate the murlocs and allow all the other party to attack.
So, as Richard activated his multiple shots, three steel arrows were like black lightning, directed at the three ordinary fish-men warriors who were charging towards them.
As a result, only one fish-man warrior managed to avoid Richard's steel arrow, and the remaining two were directly hit in the vital point by Richard and killed with one arrow!
At this time, the green-scaled double-sword fish man couldn't sit still anymore, jumped to his feet angrily, and screamed a lot.
He led the remaining fish-men warriors and rushed over.
When Richard saw it, he was secretly happy. He was not afraid of you charging, but afraid of you escaping!
He immediately fought and retreated, and deliberately did not shoot at his vitals, choosing instead to shoot at the fishman warrior's thigh.
After a while, he pretended to be defeated and fled into the passage.
But the green-scaled double-sword fishman, without doubting his presence, thought that Richard was really outmatched, so he took the remaining four fishman warriors and rushed into the trap that Richard and the five men had laid in advance.
Immediately, they were greeted by four-person crossbow attacks from Andrea, Ophelia, Ram and Courtney. In an instant, they were caught off guard and fled away. Ordinary murloc warriors were hit by arrows one after another, but the green-scaled double-knife murloc wielded two knives in one hand as densely as a net, and was not even injured at all.
At this time, the green-scaled double-sword fishman also saw that the situation was not right, and immediately turned around and ran away without caring about his men!
Unfortunately, it was too late. There were already many red umbrella mushrooms on the way back.
"Bang bang bang" As the mushroom exploded, the green-scaled fish man staggered for an instant, but to everyone's surprise, the poisonous gas seemed to have limited effect on the fish man, and the opponent still rushed towards the underground river quickly.
Apparently he was trying to escape by jumping into the underground river.
At this time, Andrea and Ram, who were closest to the double-blade murlocs, were anxious. After all, if the intermediate murloc warriors escaped, just killing some ordinary murloc warriors would be like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
Therefore, the two people immediately sprang out and began to chase the double-sword fishman.
When Richard looked back, he was also worried that the fish man with two swords would run away, so he immediately stood still and began to use the Slowing Technique from a distance.
When the double-sword fish man was only ten meters away from the underground river, a black light suddenly appeared above its head and quickly integrated into its body. All of a sudden, its speed slowed down.
It was Richard's slowness technique that took effect!
After this delay, the green-scaled double-sword fish man was chased by Andrea and Ram.
As soon as the double-sword fishman saw it, he immediately turned around and slashed twice, swinging towards Andrea.
"Ding Ding", both swords were successfully caught by Andrea's steel shield. Ram saw that he had a chance to sneak attack the fishman with two swords, so he launched an attack from the side and behind the fishman.
The tactics cannot be faulted! But the double-sword fishman didn't even look back. He just slashed backwards, and Ram was sent flying several meters away. His elbow showed an unnatural twist and was already dislocated.
Only then did Ram realize how terrifying the fish-man's reaction and attack power were. He couldn't resist a casual blow!
At this time, Richard also caught up and used another weakness technique on the double-sword fish man.
This put the fish-man with two swords who had been fighting back and forth with Andrea suddenly at a disadvantage. Coupled with the poisonous influence of the explosive mushroom, Andrea was hit twice with the sword, and it seemed that he was about to lose.
Suddenly, the green-scaled double-sword fish man spit out water arrows and shot Andrea directly in the face.
Fortunately, Andrea reacted quickly and raised her shield to block it, but the water arrow was a murloc's innate witchcraft and was extremely powerful. Not only did it make a deep dent in the shield, but it also knocked Andrea several meters away.
Just when the double-sword fish man saw a good opportunity to escape.
Unexpectedly, the way was blocked by a black figure!
It turned out that when Richard saw something was wrong, he immediately ordered the skeleton soldiers to charge forward and block the double-sword fishman's retreat!
The fishman with two swords saw that the chance of escape that he had managed to get was gone again. His expression was quite angry, and he used Blade Storm on Richard's skeleton.
I saw the fish man with two swords spinning rapidly like a tornado, holding two knives in his hands, with the blades pointing outwards, beating Richard's skeleton warriors back steadily!
For a moment, the double-sword fishman got closer to the underground river, and he could escape with only a few meters away!
But in the next second, a big black palm with a diameter of more than two meters struck down, burying half of the fish-man with two swords into the ground, making him dizzy for a moment.
Then a steel arrow quickly penetrated the double-sword fish man's forehead, killing him instantly!
Fortunately, I finally didn’t let this guy run away!
However, this mid-level fishman warrior is so difficult to deal with and keeps using small tricks. It seems that the underground race's combat power needs to be re-evaluated, Richard thought to himself.
At this time, Richard felt that a black energy seemed to be absorbed by his skeleton soldiers, and then a message was fed back from the skeleton soldiers, that is, it felt that it had become stronger again, and seemed to have touched some kind of limit.
Richard immediately realized that the black energy should be the death energy when a living being dies.
The skeleton soldier he summoned was originally at the peak of the skeleton soldier level. Now, after absorbing the death energy of the green-scaled double-sword fishman when he died, Richard had a hunch that his skeleton soldier, May evolve into Skeleton Warrior at any time.
By then, the combat power of this skeleton soldier will be greatly increased. Originally, it was only equivalent to a top quasi-knight. However, after being promoted to a skeleton warrior, the combat power will be at least equivalent to that of a formal knight.
Moreover, Richard's Skeleton Warrior, holding a sword and shield, is a skeleton guardian at the Skeleton Warrior level, and is especially good at defense.
Therefore, in terms of defensive ability alone, even compared with Andrea, there is a huge gap.
However, this was not over yet. While commanding the skeleton soldiers to gather the fish-man corpses together, Richard took out the soul-eating spider eggs from his arms and placed them among the fish-men corpses.
So, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Richard recalled the spirit summoning technique. After learning it once, he put it aside and never used it again.
After chanting the curse for several seconds, suddenly, almost transparent human figures appeared on the corpses of seven or eight fishmen.
The Soul-Eating Demon Spider's eggs, which have not been eaten since the last time they devoured the soul of the Man-Faced Demon Spider, may be hungry this time, so they absorbed the transparent figures into the white eggs one by one like jelly in an instant. .
The way everyone looked at Richard changed instantly!
Richard felt something was wrong, and when he looked at the eyes of the people around him, he immediately understood. So, he introduced the situation of the Soul-Eating Demon Spider Eggs from beginning to end, and then dispelled everyone's doubts.
After all, killing the opponent is just to earn points, but he doesn't even spare his soul. How deep is this hatred!
Even dark wizards, except for a few who are wanted across the continent, rarely do this.
Later, Richard recorded the results of the battle with the mark crystal. The intermediate fish-man warrior was worth 30 points, and the ordinary fish-man warrior was only worth 5 points, totaling 70 points.
In addition, I also harvested alchemy materials, including 1 pair of intermediate fish-man eyeballs (can be exchanged for 10 points), and 8 pairs of ordinary fish-man eyeballs (can be exchanged for 2 points), for a total of 26 points.
In this way, the two items combined together earned a total of 96 points.
Richard took a look and saw that this point was still divided into four points. It was so far away from the red shock mixture -
a seven or eight meter long basilisk was quietly lurking in the dark cave. It had already made a sudden attack. Swallowed four or five delicious humans.
It began to drool at the thought of what it felt like to be human.
The meat of humans on the surface is smooth and juicy. It is a delicacy that has never been tasted before. Well, it is much tenderer than the meat of cave people, and it is also more delicious than the smelly fish people.
If Richard were here, he would be able to tell at a glance that this petrified lizard looks like a large crocodile, but its skin is not like the smooth armor of a crocodile, but rather prismatic and thick armor with spikes. It looks like it not only has outstanding defensive power, but also seems to have the effect of sharp spikes causing damage.
The short and thick limbs are like small stone pillars with intricate muscles. Although the limbs are short, one look at them shows that the explosive power is amazing.
The basilisk's slender and forked tongue is like the tongue of the Komodo dragon, constantly extending in and out, sensing the smell of food in the surrounding air. The tongue is both a taste organ and an olfactory organ. It can sensitively distinguish the surrounding temperature, humidity, smell and other information.
Huh! It seems that not far ahead, there is the smell of humans on the surface.
