The words were divided into two parts, Isengard was actually quite calm.
After receiving Yin En's reminder and decisively looking for reinforcements, Isengard did not expect that Yin En simply wanted him to leave so that he could exchange some secret information with Patrick.
After he returned to the team, he immediately discussed with Master Gosei how to deal with his uncle.
A second-level strongman, even if he cannot use the breeding equipment, is still a threat to everyone. But if this team really wants to block it, it is not impossible to block it, so there is no need to panic too much.
After all, even if Master Gosei's strength is now declining, he still has some backup methods, and the team has alchemy artillery, so guarding the narrow area is not a problem.
On the contrary, after the pirates finished fighting bugs and apes, they had to deal with their former bosses. The daily routine changed a bit too fast... but they were also used to situations where their bosses defaulted on their debts or wanted to get rid of their black gloves.
Not bad anymore.
After that, the two gathered their team and sent scouts to observe the situation ahead.
Isengard did not choose to stay in the mural passage, but chose a narrow branch that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up positions and alchemical artillery in preparation for his uncle's next attack.
Compared with Isengard's uneasiness, Master Gosei has full confidence in Yin En. He does not think that Yin En can defeat Patrick, but he also does not think that Patrick can do anything to Yin En. The fight between the two sides will definitely last for a while.
Time, and if Yin En wants to leave, Patrick will definitely not be able to keep him.
As an older generation person who had witnessed the battle of the First Knight, Master Goser had such confidence in Hilliard's disciples.
However, the information sent back by the scouts left everyone waiting at a loss.
They did see traces of the battle, but they also found traces of a giant monster passing by in the sacrificial place... The two people who were fighting before seemed to be taken away by the giant monster.
Maybe it's not taking him away, but actively changing the battlefield.
In any case, they lost the chance to track Yin En and Patrick.
In order to prepare for the possible impact of huge monsters, Isengard had to lead the entire team to a cave with two entrances, one large and one small, for repairs.
The rock formation of this cave is very hard, and there is an underground lake in the center. It looks wide, but it is actually very shallow. If the giant monster wants to enter from the big cave entrance and attack here, it will be severely restrained, and the group of people
You can evacuate through the small hole.
However, after waiting for a long time, they did not wait for any possible attack.
There are many pure white blind fish with no eyes in the underground lake. The texture is quite hard. When caught, there is a small layer of enamel calcium armor on the body surface, which looks like a fish-shaped jade pendant.
After identification by Master Gosei, he determined that this blind fish should be very closely related to the "stone-armored fish" that is more common in the South China Sea, and the enamel scales on its surface are very similar to the iron-bone swordfish.
resemblance.
Because everyone was hungry for a long time, after confirming that the blind fish were non-toxic, they immediately started to light a fire and process the blind fish. The number of blind fish was much larger than expected, and it was more than enough to provide a meal for the entire team.
After peeling off the rock armor, the meat of the blind fish is very chewy. After being grilled and bitten into it, it has a springy texture. Although it has no taste, after chewing for a long time, it has a very obvious sweetness.
Everyone had a good meal, but Isengard was still not used to eating this kind of 'real food', so he still took a bottle of stamina potion.
"Without Yin En, it would be difficult for us to find a way to the outside world."
On one side of the temporary camp, the blond boy was talking to his teacher. His expression was a little urgent: "And no matter how strong Yin En is, he can't really defeat uncle. We have to find him as soon as possible. Only by working together can we defeat him."
Uncle’s chance!”
His speculation was not wrong. Even Yin En himself would not deny that Patrick was indeed not an easy opponent to defeat.
"I'm still a little impatient, Ethan."
Master Gosei stroked his beard and mused: "Yin En clearly has a purpose for coming to this ruins, and he doesn't want us to know about this purpose... In other words, he doesn't want us who are beyond his control.
People know it.”
"Son, I know you are worried about Yin En's safety, but have you ever thought that it would be even more dangerous for him to be with us and have to take care of the safety of such a large group of people?"
Raising his head, the old man patted the ignorant boy on the head and said with a smile: "According to my guess... Yin En can find us at any time if he wants to. But not vice versa."
"He is such a person who likes to take the initiative into his own hands. If you really want to help the other person, you don't have to make any excuses that are beneficial to the team. Just ensure your own safety."
Master Gosei's confidence in Yin En comes from Hilliard.
He believed that Hilliard must know the situation of the Nanhai Ruins Group, so he also believed that Yin En knew about it. This could also explain why Yin En chose the right path along the way.
That is definitely not just luck... it should be the information left by the late emperor and the first knight.
And the purpose that the other party doesn't want them to know may be the mission passed down by Yin En.
Of course, this is not the case, but the results are surprisingly appropriate.
At this moment, there was a noise from the surrounding team.
"Wait, everyone, get up! Look at these fish!"
When the prospectors and pirates heard the warning from the vigilante ahead, they all finished their repairs and nervously looked in the direction of the warning, only to see an incredible scene.
In the underground lake that originally had a large number of white blind fish, a group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared. Densely packed black strange fish surged along the river. Their momentum was so huge that it was like an army.
This kind of strange fish has a long protrusion on its head, which seems to be a metal spear. Facing the intruder, the white blind fish immediately began to form a formation to hedge against this group of black strange fish.
Even though these white blind fish didn't create any turmoil when they were caught before, after all, both the prospectors and pirates are veterans who have lived in the sea all year round. They have caught fish several times more ferocious than them, so they naturally have no fear.
But when faced with other species of the same kind, these white blind fish are unexpectedly strong. When forming a fish formation, the enamel carapace of the fish even lights up with dots of white fluorescence, making their scales even harder.
The black horned fish did not give in. After they formed a fish formation, the metal horns on their heads also shone with the halo of source matter.
For a moment, the black and white fish formations lit up with fluorescence at the same time, making the small underground lake in the dark cave seem to turn into a brilliant Milky Way, with countless stars flowing around.
And in this breathtaking scene, two large schools of fish started fighting as if no one was watching.
Including Master Isengard and Gosei, everyone held their breath and watched this unimaginable scene. Two fish schools that could form formations, allowing the group to temporarily use the source of energy in their bodies, collided with each other. Sometimes they were black horns. The fish penetrated the scales of the white blind fish, and sometimes the white blind fish broke the scales of the black horned fish.
Blood overflowed the lake, and the pale yellow fish blood filled the originally clear underground lake, giving off a strong iron smell.
But at this moment, sharp-eyed people discovered that the fighting fish were transforming.
Among the fish, some of the strong and large fish began to gradually turn into a grayish-white color intersecting with black and white after eating each other's flesh, and the original carapace also began to gradually fall off, revealing the strange flesh and blood emitting dots of fluorescence at the bottom.
This kind of big fish is protected in the center by the fish array, and when they finish their transformation, the seemingly crystal clear, fluorescent flesh and blood has completely hardened, turning into a silvery big fish with a metal coating that exudes silver light. The entire body seems to be made of some high-quality alloy, and both its hardness and strength are greatly increased.
No matter whether it is black or white, what they finally transform into is exactly the same, a huge metal fish with a single silver horn.
"This is a kind of magical beast!"
A certain elf pirate exclaimed: "Although not all of them are Warcraft, this big silver fish King Fish is definitely a Warcraft that can reach the first level. It looks a lot like a silver-scaled marlin, but it is more powerful. It's primitive and much larger than the average silver-scaled marlin..."
"Is this a labyrinth species?" Isengard also felt very magical. He had already seen that the black and white fish schools are essentially a kind of differentiation of fish. Each has different abilities, but they are not complete. They only have each other. Only by eating each other's flesh and blood can the originally dormant bloodlines of both parties be awakened, eventually transforming into the silver-scaled marlin they saw.
Perhaps, the silver-scaled marlin is the descendant of this big silver fish, but over a long period of time, there was a branch mutation, which can awaken the bloodline without devouring each other's flesh and blood. However, such bloodline has not completed the transformation process, so the body shape has also changed. It will be smaller than this big fish with silver scales.
The black and white fish array has become much sparse. Under the confrontation between the large silver fish transformed from both sides, the black fish group reluctantly retreated. They did not capture this underground lake, and could only continue to let the white fish occupy this place. A prime breeding ground.
"Competition in nature is so cruel."
The blond boy originally wanted to sigh like this, but he was actually a little depressed in his heart, because the scene of cannibalism reminded him of the internal battle between his family and the imperial nobles... But soon, this depressing thought was dispelled .
Because a familiar voice sounded at the entrance of the cave.
"Eh? Silver-scaled fish? There's actually food delivered to your door."
The voice sounded quite surprised, and said with a smile: "Shark, go and eat, these fish are a great supplement to you."
"After eating these fish, your injuries will not only recover, but it will also be of great help to you in advancing to the second level in the future."
After he finished speaking, there was a very exciting sound of "Oh!", and a huge shadow with the same silvery light all over its body came quickly from the river!
