Chapter 186 Harvest
Author: Arion's Dolphins
With great speed, the fleet collected the bodies of its own soldiers, briefly treated the wounded, and then headed towards the archipelago.
The area of the five small islands is not large, and the sea view is also very good. You can see a camp in the distance.
[Sahuagin are aquatic creatures, so they don’t seem to need to rely on land to survive. Why do they still set up camp above the sea level? 】
"It shows that they stored a lot of things in the camp, and these things cannot be stored in the water for a long time, so they need to camp on the shore."
Birds for reconnaissance were released, and two small boats were launched from the warship. There were also lizard warriors patrolling underwater. The latter two did not find any traces nearby, while the former discovered an abnormal situation near the camp.
Tang Zhao and the commander hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to move forward, not wanting to fail at this moment.
——
The warship took the lead, followed by dozens of lizard warriors just in case. The remaining large forces were led by the commander to guard against enemies that might appear at any time.
Land is the home field suitable for Tang Zhao to perform. On land, he does not need to be restrained and can fully display his abilities.
Xinzi poked his head out, and Tang Zhao sniffed the air carefully. There was an indescribable fishy smell. There was no doubt that this was the camp established by the Sahuagin people, but besides that, there were other smells.
[It’s very complicated and difficult to distinguish, but I’m sure that part of it smells like the Berserker Demon]
He was very familiar with this smell now. He had been digging into the sewers for so long just to find the general location of these demons and get more information about them.
【Go or stay?】
As soon as he had the intention to retreat, Tang Zhao forced him to suppress it. The other party was obviously hiding and waiting for the opportunity to attack. He had never taken action against the crazy fighting demons in the sewer before, mainly because he wanted to understand the situation first, and he could not
Feel free to strike grass and scare the snake.
Now that the battle has begun, it is too late to say anything. We should work together to cause greater damage to the opponent and obtain more information through the battle.
With a flick of his tail, Tang Zhao took a deep breath and told his men to be careful. Then he took the lead and walked slowly towards the camp established by the sahuagin.
It is said to be a camp, but it is actually a cave. Some observation towers and fences are simply arranged around the cave. The craftsmanship is poor by human standards, and it is only barely functional. It will inevitably appear fragile in the wind and rain.
At this time, three sahuagin nobles appeared at the entrance of the cave, followed by many ordinary sahuagins. They were slowly forming a formation in front of the cave. They were menacing and the attackers were not malicious.
Tang Zhao noticed that the leading sahuagin had not changed, it was still the same sahuagin that he was fighting with, which made him secretly relieved - the world of sahuagin is based on strength, and the more bloody the fight, the better.
The more the fighting murloc becomes the boss, the extra sahuagin aristocrat is not the leader, but only a substitute responsible for looking after the house. Its combat effectiveness is definitely limited, and it is no better than his comrades.
[Please note, there should be enemies lurking nearby. Just protect yourself and don't die, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Red Scale and the others. ]
After saying these words, Tang Zhao accelerated and crashed into the enemy. He was much faster on land, and the sahuagin were also much slower than before.
The nobles only had time to dodge. Tang Zhao's claws popped out and embedded themselves in the sand under their feet. He stopped suddenly in front of the murlocs. Then he swung his tail violently and swung a semicircle in the air. He shot out a large number of thorns.
This is not in the sea. There is no resistance from the water, and the rate of fire is so fast that it is difficult to react.
Two sahuagin nobles were directly hit, hitting their arms and abdomen respectively. In order to maintain high mobility underwater, the sahuagin armors are very suitable for the job. They are mainly light and durable, with poor defense. These two armors
The thorns all inflicted piercing damage, even digging deeply into the ground behind them.
One of them reacted quickly and cut off his own arm with a knife. They all knew that Tang Zhao's thorns were poisonous, so they simply cut off his arm to avoid being killed by the poison.
The remaining sahuagin was not so lucky. Tang Zhao could tell that his expression was very bad.
The eyes of the three nobles were darting around, and Tang Zhao also knew that the other party was waiting for the demon to take action, so he wasted no time and launched another charge.
The sahuagin nobles stepped back a few meters, and a large number of ordinary sahuagin warriors came forward. They were preparing to consume another wave of physical strength. The lizardmen behind Tang Zhao clenched their weapons and formed a simple square formation.
Methodically, they rushed towards the sahuagin and started a new round of close combat.
Completely opposite to the situation in the water, the sahuagin, who were more numerous, were completely at a disadvantage from the beginning.
The training that the sahuagin have received is either for water combat or for one-on-one weapon fighting, while the lizardmen have undergone complete battle formation training. They may not be considered top-notch, but they are definitely well-trained.
.
In addition, lizardmen are much taller than murlocs, and their strength and defense capabilities are superior to murlocs. These advantages cannot be shown in the water, but it is different on the ground. The home and away games are reversed, and the murlocs are the weaker side.
.
All in all, ordinary murlocs had a hard time protecting themselves, but Tang Zhao still wanted the murloc nobles to solve the problem themselves. Just now they failed to win the five-on-one home game in Haili, and it was even more impossible now.
Lifting his forelimbs to block the weapons of the fish-man nobles, Tang Zhao used a little force to knock several people down, and then added a round of tail stabs.
It was already the end of the battle, and after a few minutes of fighting, the fish-man nobles were defeated and killed one by one by Tang Zhao, unable to escape.
The sahuagin in front of them were pirates at best. They did not have the terrifying discipline and willpower of the hobgoblins. Once the leader died, the remaining murloc warriors scattered one after another. Some were killed on the way, and more successfully escaped.
Enter the sea water and dive to the bottom without missing a trace.
Tang Zhao did not relax his vigilance at all and kept observing the surrounding environment. It was not until the commander sent someone to check the situation that he relaxed slightly and entered the cave.
I thought the cave environment would be complicated, but in reality, it turned out to be very simple.
A straight passage is a little wider at the end. What is stored inside is not gold and silver treasures, but some living creatures.
The lower body is like a fish, the upper body is like a human being, the skin is occasionally dotted with some cyan or blue scales, and there is a small fin extending from the elbow. This creature is famous both on earth and here - mermaid.
They were all tied with iron chains, and one end of the iron chain was nailed directly into the wall beside them. They were obviously in a state of imprisonment. The fish and the mermaid have similar names, and they are actually somewhat related by blood, but the relationship between the two has always been the same.
Not very good, similar to hobgoblins and elves, life and death is not an excessive adjective.
[I need to know your identities so that I can decide my attitude towards you, maybe we can]
The mouths of the mermaids were all blocked. Tang Zhao first used spiritual energy to communicate with the other party and took the initiative to establish a spiritual link with them. The mermaids did not resist and accepted directly.
【The wall behind us! There is a devil behind the wall!!!】
【demon!!】
【There is a devil!!】
Before he finished speaking, several different voices entered his mind, which stopped Tang Zhao's actions, and then he continued to move forward as usual.
Seeing this, the mermaids struggled even more fiercely, and even slapped the ground with their tails, hoping to remind Tang Zhao, but he still turned a deaf ear.
Slowly approaching the mermaids, Tang Zhao opened his mouth slightly, exposing his sharp fangs. When he got close enough, he aimed at the wall and sprayed out a large amount of venom. Before the venom had even completely landed on the ground, he kicked his feet.
The ground rushed out like a gust of wind and hit the wall straight.
The wall was actually just an illusion. He walked right through it, and behind it was a five-meter-tall Mad War Demon. Smoke was rising from its body. It had been thoroughly poured by Tang Zhao's venom. This venom was corrosive.
It is so strong that it can even corrode most of the steel, let alone flesh and blood.
The mad war demon reacted very quickly. He originally wanted to attack Tang Zhao secretly, but now the two sides were fighting each other directly, with their claws directly embedded in each other's bodies. The winner could not be determined in a short time, but Tang Zhao had the upper hand in terms of strength and defense.
Some advantages, after all, he is much bigger.
The lizard men behind them wanted to help, but the situation was very chaotic. Instead of having any practical effect, they would be injured accidentally. They could only throw javelins from a distance, but the javelins were as good as toothpicks to these two monsters.
One was able to pierce the skin, and the other was directly bounced away. In short, their efforts were in vain and they could only watch and worry.
Compared with the frog-headed Mad War Demon, Tang Zhao has a huge advantage - a big mouth, a long neck, and a mouthful of good teeth.
The head of the mad warrior must not have been two meters tall. Tang Zhao opened his upper and lower jaws, biting the opponent's head tightly, and then exerted force on his masseter muscles. After a while of creepy sounds, the mad warrior completely stopped moving.
.
His head was crushed directly, and he must have died on the spot.
Tang Zhao pushed the other person away, then quickly shook his head to throw out all the red and white things that entered his mouth. He didn't mind eating his own head, but it definitely couldn't be the head of a demon. They all grew up from the bottomless abyss.
Yes, God knows whether Tang Zhao will become genetically mutated or mentally abnormal after eating it. It’s not worth eating this thing for some evolutionary progress. The shark weighs at least ten tons, which is enough for him to eat for a long time. There is no need to sacrifice his body.
Take risks.
The elf druid stepped forward to apply medicine and stitches to him, while the lizardmen untied the shackles of the mermaids. However, after the shackles were lifted, they did not show any expressions of survival, but were wary and confused.
[You should have a leader, right? I hope to have a good talk with him and explain some necessary things clearly to avoid any misunderstandings between us. I guarantee your safety, this is a major prerequisite.]
A female mermaid said at this time: "Who sent you?"
Tang Zhao did not speak in a hurry, but took a good look at the mermaids in front of him.
Because there is no water in this cave, the mermaids now look embarrassed and haggard, but the mermaid who spoke is still very different from other mermaids.
It is worth mentioning that this was the first time Tang Zhao saw a creature with black hair and black eyes (although it was still white-skinned) in another world. According to human standards, the mermaid in front of him could fully deserve the praise of "Sinking Fish and Falling Wild Goose", even if it is not the same as the mermaid.
The beauty among the elves is no less beautiful. Like the dryads, the mermaids have their own charm skills. No creature with this talent is ugly.
One thing that concerned him very much was that this mermaid had a special temperament, which was somewhat similar to Julia's. It could be called nobility, or it could be called the temperament of a lady. In short, it seemed that her identity was not simple.
[The Church of Helm asked me for help to clean up the murloc pirates near Yintao City. The sahuagin stronghold we found is here.]
"I see," her tone was obviously a little disappointed, "my name is Nymph. You can consider me the leader of these mermaids. If you have anything, just tell me directly."
[Two aspects, the first is about those sahuagin people, but there is no rush for this right now. There is plenty of time on the ship to talk about it, and I am not the only one who needs to know. The second is about you. Your settlement is far away from here.
Is it close?】
Hearing this, Nying Fu's eyes dimmed a little: "We don't often come near Yintao City and are not familiar with the terrain here. It's about fifteen days' journey from my home, which is quite far."
[Well, there are only seven or eight of you anyway. I can provide you with supplies, treatment and temporary shelter. In return, you can provide me with your knowledge during this period, especially about the sahuagin and the demon. This way
how?
Let me remind you again that I will not interfere with your choices, but there are still sahuagin people outside. They seem to want to do something big to humans. It is best not to try to go back by yourself recently, it is too dangerous.]
There is no doubt that it implies some threat, but it still contains a lot of concern. It is not easy to survive from those creatures.
Nymph's eyes were quite helpless: "I don't seem to have the right to choose now. I can only follow you cold-blooded people."
The condition of all the mermaids was not very good. The accompanying druid fed them potions and used some healing magic to temporarily stabilize their condition.
Originally, they wanted to swim back with the boat, but they felt weak after entering the water, and they had to be transported back to Yintao City on the boat.
They were quite open-minded and didn't have any vigilance. After all, Tang Zhao had saved them, otherwise they would still be tied up now.
The warships are all warriors of the Church of Heim. Before they retired, their resistance to beauty was almost as high as that of Tang Zhao, almost equal to that of Tang Monk. There was no need to worry about messing up the position for a few mermaids.
After explaining the situation to the commander, the surprised expression on the other person's face didn't look like he was faking it. It was obvious that he didn't expect that mermaids and demons could be involved.
Tang Zhao then asked Nying Fu to describe what he had observed from the sahuagin people during this period of time.
