It was learned from the conversation that the investigation team of senior arcanist Chris currently works for the Arcane Federation. The entire team, including himself, consists of seven people, each with their own expertise in searching for clues and traces. The remaining six are now working on
Underwater work.
So Xia Duo waited with them. As for Said, the senior arcanist of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce, he was also underwater at this time, collecting aquatic plant samples without affecting the search and preservation of clues by the members of Chris's team.
Just when Xia Duo thought the search would end soon, Timothy's expression suddenly changed, "There's something going on underwater!"
At the same time, Chris also received the report from his subordinates, and his face became solemn. Sha Duo quickly looked at the surrounding water. Due to the obstruction of the water body, he could not tell where the people underwater were without casting spells.
Location, this makes him feel that everything is happening!
At this moment, a figure broke out of the water not far away, looked left and right, and flew towards the ship. This man Xia Duo had met before, it was Said from the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce.
And right behind Said, there is a transparent spherical force field that shines with a strong magical aura. It is almost four or five meters in diameter. It is filled with lake water. In the lake, two murlocs covered with water plants are trying their best.
The ground hit the inner wall of the force field ball.
As soon as Said flew to the ship, he put down the force field ball, not caring that there were other people around. A new spell was quickly completed, and then the aura covered the force field ball. Under this special aura, the force field ball quickly shrank.
, until it becomes a crystal ball as big as a palm.
Said put away the crystal ball, but before he could say anything, the sound of water breaking one after another came from not far away. A total of six people, one or more, all flew out of the water towards the big ship.
Behind them, a giant creature covered with water plants was slowly emerging from the water. No, to be more precise, it was a giant water plant. Its face and body were all made of water plants, and there were also several fishmen hanging on it.
.
These murlocs seem to have symbiotically developed with the aquatic giant, and can even regard the aquatic giant as a water environment, and then shuttle back and forth in the giant's body, sometimes emerging from the body's surface, and sometimes sinking into the body again.
At this time, Miles had finally come out of the cabin, followed by a man who looked like a steward, with a very panic expression. Seeing the giant aquatic plant, Miles trotted to Sha Duo and looked at the front of the bow.
, asked in a low voice:
"Lord Shado, what happened?"
"I didn't know that such a giant aquatic plant suddenly appeared." Xia Duo replied, but his eyes were always fixed on the floating giant aquatic plant.
None of the mages on the boat had ever seen such a situation. Even Xia Duo found it hard to imagine that water plants could form a humanoid creature. Let’s just call it a living thing!
As soon as this giant aquatic plant surfaced, it seemed as if someone had interrupted its sleep. It waved its arms and swam towards the big ship. The further it moved towards the big ship, the more part of its body was exposed out of the water.
Seeing the aquatic giant getting closer and closer, everyone on the boat
"No matter what it is, block it first!" Timothy said proactively, and at the same time he was already preparing to cast a spell.
Seeing this, other people also took action, of course, the main ones who took action were Said and Chris.
Chris's men, as well as Shado and Miles, gave themselves more protective spells. In addition, Shado also sent a message to the "Owen" to tell them to quickly stay away from the giant aquatic plant that had just appeared on the lake.
…
In front of the Mingshui Chamber of Commerce's ship, the giant aquatic plant waved its giant aquatic plant arm, which I don't know whether to call strong or weak, and smashed towards the ship. The next moment, a sloping force field wall blocked the arm of the giant aquatic plant.
The thick arms hit the force field wall and immediately fell into pieces, and moved downwards along the inclined direction of the force field wall. However, while drawing downwards, the scattered water plants began to regroup and formed an assembled line.
arm.
This attack did not work. The aquatic giant ignored it completely and raised his arm again. What awaited him was still a force field wall, which together with the previous one formed an angle-like structure, blocking the hull behind him.
The giant aquatic plant kept knocking on the force field wall outside the tip of the angle. Although it could not be broken through, it still continued as if it had lost its mind.
At this moment, Timothy suddenly said: "It has no mind. The fishman in it is the core of its thinking. Destroying the fishman can make him quiet!"
When Xia Duo heard this, he thought of the intelligent aquatic fish-men who had been killed before. Perhaps it was because of the lack of those fish-men that this aquatic giant became so stupid.
"Palu, come and attack!" Chris ordered his team members to start attacking the fishmen.
After hearing the order, Palu and others took out a wand from the dimensional bag one by one, and then magic missiles flew out one after another. Miles also took out a wand and started attacking.
At this moment, Xia Duo clearly realized the disadvantages of his rapid upgrade. He had accumulated too little. Of course he knew that the wand was similar to a magic scroll, but could be used multiple times.
The biggest advantage is that it is probably faster than using a magic scroll, and is close to the instantaneous casting of spells stored in a magic network, but almost normal people will not store all magic missiles in a magic network.
Therefore, having one or more missile wands can sometimes work wonders.
At this time, everyone is different, and Xia Duo can only watch others attack. As for casting his own spells, the Archmage and the two senior arcanists are not dead yet, so it is not his turn!
Although the murlocs swimming on the aquatic giants look strange, they are actually just ordinary murlocs. As long as they are hit, two magic missiles can break them into two pieces.
However, after two murlocs were killed just now, Archmage Timothy once again reminded, "It's useless to destroy their bodies, it's their heads, which are the core of this aquatic giant's thinking!"
As a result, the target of the magic missile's attack became the constantly moving murloc heads, but Sha Duo was certain that these mages had never had any contact with moving targets.
It's not difficult to hit a target as big as a fish-man, after all, they don't move very fast in the body of the aquatic giant, but it's not that easy to hit the head.
And even if it hits, just a few hits, it will be difficult to destroy the fish-man's brain. The mages soon realized this, and finally stopped being lazy and started casting spells themselves.
The six members of Chris's investigation team cooperated in twos, one restrained and the other attacked. It worked quickly, and the aquatic giant's movements became slower.
Xia Duo and Miles looked at each other and took action. Xia Duo chose restraint. Murlocs have no necks. As long as their bodies are fixed, the movement of their big heads will be very small. The real trouble is the composition.
The water plants on the body of the water plant giant pull the water plants on the fish man's body.
To this end, Shado chose a 4-level restricted spell, which was a 4-level version upgraded from the 2-level [Confinement Sphere]. Moreover, since it was a force field spell, it was also very effective against the pull of external forces.
Xia Duo could see that the people in Chris' team also mainly used force field spells. After all, it was useless to just imprison the fishmen. Their movement was not due to their own abilities, but the combined effect of the water plants on their bodies and the water plants that made up the water plant giants.
the result of.
As for attacks, in the hands of these at least mid-level mages, they have too many choices. Even just a [Fireball] can cook the fish-man's brain, causing it to lose its support for the aquatic giant.
