Chapter 557: Mage Leads the Charge
Chapter 550 – Mage Leads the Charge
“Don’t enter the city, let’s go around.” In Owen’s perspective, Fortune Bay was the focus of being washed by the power of the Ancient Gods, it was almost like a cesspool that would erupt at any time, even if he had a brain problem he didn’t dare to go in and dribble this dung water, so he intended to avoid the front.
Now that obtaining the bounty was a secondary purpose, Owen intended to see what the ancient god was up to and what kind of power it possessed, because he didn’t dare to guarantee that the main world where the main body was located would not have sealed such a thing.
In case there was, then the main body would need to consider the issue of void migration, because even if he was open, he wouldn’t want to fight an opponent who could turn any place into a septic tank.
Winning or losing a fight was a matter of being covered in shit, and that was willing.
The three of them took a short detour to the sides of Fortune Bay, and Owen realized that there were quite a few smart people, there were already quite a few adventurers here fighting fishers, and why risk going to Fortune Bay when the bounty could be claimed in Sea Breeze Town anyway.
However, the environment here is a bit weird, because the sea mist that permeates from the sea not only carries a strong fishy odor, but also has a curse effect, so you must use the bubble head spell, otherwise you will soon be contaminated.
Even this only reduces the speed of the contamination, so the adventurers will regularly seek out priests to do a bit of purification, so as to avoid the mutation of their bodies as the curse deepens.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Owen kind of regretted coming here, he wasn’t sure if resurrecting from the dead could remove the curse, if not, he was afraid that he would have to practice his trumpet.
Without waiting for Owen to change his mind, three adventurers came over, the other adventurers who had only just found out shook their heads sadly, but still obeyed the rules and didn’t come over.
“You guys are new here, right, it just so happens that a few of our teammates have left, would you like to join our squad, we are very experienced when it comes to dealing with fishmen.” As the captain was a warlock, because of their special bloodline, they had better resistance to curses, so it was rare for them to take the position of captain.
“Okay.” Owen didn’t refuse, because they really needed a few veterans to lead the way, and the warlock captain with a bit of social bull attribute was undoubtedly a good choice.
Seeing Owen nodding his head in agreement without much hesitation, Lorion was very satisfied with his charisma, not seeing that he had succeeded in recruiting in a single moment, and thus enthusiastically began to introduce his two teammates.
The left is a dwarf called Hammer, this name is very popular among the dwarves, it is similar to the effect of standing at the entrance of the village and shouting a dog’s egg, it is a warhammer dwarf, able to skillfully use a heavy two-handed warhammer, sniffing at Owen’s trio nodded, it seems that although it is silent, it is unexpectedly reliable.
The other is a half-elf archer, called Kelly, but Owen felt that the other party’s bloodline is a bit strange, because her skin color is a light red, and her body is too voluptuous, and her temperament also carries a few winks, and just met him and sent him two winks.
Which is a proper elf, without a bit of chimera bloodline he was not convinced.
Owen also introduced the three of them, a shield defender who can withstand damage, a cat-eared assassin with flexible hands, and a one-ring mage, this configuration is already quite good, really capable who still be an adventurer.
“We just got a priest to perform a purification and are in pretty good shape, you guys are also new here without the curse, so let’s go a little deeper and see if we can find a tribe of these fishmen.” After getting to know each other, Lorion spoke in a cheerful tone, not thinking at all about whether just a few of them going deeper would encounter any dangers.
Ironhammer kept the silence of a dwarf and said nothing, and Kylie looked to have Lorion as her leader and didn’t have much of an opinion, so the decision was in Owen’s hands. “Yes, I’m interested in the Fishman tribe as well.” Owen nodded without refusing, after all, the fishmen were not related to the sealed ancient gods anyhow, so it was natural to find out what was going on.
After reaching a consensus, the group bypassed the place where the fishmen were fighting with the adventurers and started to go deeper towards the back, on the way the talkative Lorion was imparting some experience.
“Fishmen are amphibious creatures, but land is not friendly to them, their webbed feet are easily injured, in addition to being far away from water sources, the hot sun and dryness will also cause them to die a painful death.”
“But right now the climate here is perfect for them, the cursed sea breeze from the ocean brings a thick vapor that creates a thick mist on the beaches, always moisturizing the fishmen’s scaly skin and making the mucus production more even, so the fishmen are in better shape and harder to fight.” Lorion spread his hands and said somewhat helplessly.
“In addition the fishman’s scale armor is not considered strong, but the mucus on the surface can easily make the sharp edge slip, even if the axe and hammer’s effect is only average, the effect with a club is better, at the same time the fishman’s vitality is very tenacious, striking the head is more likely to be fatal.” Lorion showed the staff in his hand, the five foot long staff was as thick as an egg, one end was wrapped with a foot long iron and inlaid with some iron nails, it was also stained with some fish scales and fish blood, at a glance one could tell how lethal it was.
Owen rubbed his chin and realized that it did, so he cast a morphing spell to fuse the longsword in his hand with the staff to form an even thicker wolfsbane, to which Lorion nodded his head in approval.
After finding the proper use of the staff, the two casters walked quite unprofessionally at the front of the group, rushing up to the fishmen when they met them and taking a swipe at them.
One is a warlock whose physique is comparable to that of a warrior, and the other has magic-enhanced strength, and swings his wolfsbane to charge, the warhammer dwarves and shield guards are a bit unable to keep up, that is, the half-elven archer can insert a few arrows, but it’s quite helpless.
Fish scales are indeed very slippery, but the wolfsbane is not a vegetarian, causing a blunt blow to the lack of intact bones to protect the internal organs of the fish is very fatal, not to mention the two men are running at the head of that huge fish.
Fish people do not have necks, coupled with short limbs, evasive ability is very poor, was hit by a stick, fish skin under the multiple pieces of spliced skull immediately shattered, snot like with a few bright and some thick fish brain flow out, even if the body is still twitching, in fact, has been considered dead.
And the size of the fish is much shorter than humans, smashing up a better feel, Owen is a bit addicted, a wolfsbane pointing to the east to hit the west, there is no enemy.
Warlock Lorion is also not willing to show weakness, enchanted with brute force magic, a battle skill is no less than a specialized warrior, it seems that weekdays did not practice.
Two people rushed so violently is not death, and because the fish people live in a special environment without forging ability, weapons are either fish bone polishing or robbed human weapons.
The former is not enough to kill, the latter in addition to rust and corrosion and other problems, because of the size of the relationship with the use of the hand is not smooth, can not break the two people on the body of the defense spell, so as long as you pay attention not to be surrounded by a large group of fish, basically no matter.
In the case of the mage leading the charge, the deepening of the party was very smooth, until they saw a strange sea creature with an octopus head was located in the shallow sea of the fishman tribe training fishmen, only to hold up the charge.
