Chapter 858 Goodbye Mr. Blackfish
After confirming that Alfonso on the seabed was a mirror image, Thor immediately noticed the peculiarity of the environment ahead.
There were faint fluctuations of magic power in the sea near Alfonso, but with the battle still going on above, such fluctuations of magic power were not noticeable at all.
But Thor believed that as long as he got closer to Alfonso, he would be trapped by the means set up by the other party.
It would probably take some time to escape, but there would be no risk of injury or death. After all, Alfonso would not believe that he could kill other third-level wizards with just one of his mirror images.
If Alfonso had not still underestimated Thor's mental power, Thor would have discovered that the person standing in the magic circle was a real person before entering the trap set by Alfonso. I'm afraid Thor would have to waste some time here.
After seeing the situation clearly, Thor didn't bother to study Alfonso's arrangements in detail. He turned around and flew towards the sea.
Now that the two third-levels have left the coast, he still has one target left.
"The mask that can't be taken off... does it mean that Stuart will die as the Black Flame Emperor?"
Alfonso had left at some point, and Royer said he was patrolling other areas. The two men had already gone far away, and Thor had nowhere to chase them, so he might as well just keep an eye on the person in front of him.
And most importantly, Thor’s third goal also needs to be born in this place.
…
A deep pool by the sea.
Dozens of atavistic mermaids were imprisoned here, and there were special wizards watching over them secretly every day. But in the past two days, the black tide has come, and in order to ensure that the front line of defense is not lost, the wizards here have also been transferred away, and only the imprisonment magic circle is used to prevent the mermaids from escaping.
This confinement magic circle can not only seal the deep pool of water, but also provide an early warning when outsiders violently destroy the magic circle.
But if the seal of the magic circle is unlocked in the correct way, there will be no warning of this magic circle.
To put it simply, it’s hard to guard against a thief in your own home.
When the Black Tide was about to fade away, but still occupied the minds of most people, this deep pool was already empty.
The mermaid who was supposed to stay in the deep pool was now being led by a man in a black robe and wrapped in black mist, walking in a narrow passage carved out of a cliff.
Mermaids have no legs. Although they can barely walk on land, they use their tails to crawl like snakes.
Fortunately, the mermaid's scales are very strong, so they will not fall off and be injured due to excessive wear.
But mermaids are, after all, a group that has lived in water for a long time, and they still encountered all kinds of expected and unexpected difficulties on their escape.
"Mr. Blackfish."
The mermaid Hailan, who originally had long blue hair, has now cut his hair to two finger length. It looks very funny, but no mermaid in the mermaid team will laugh at him because all the other mermaids do the same.
Including the mermaid coral that once amazed Thor.
"Mr. Blackfish." Hailan called again.
Walking in the front, Mr. Blackfish, who was shrouded in black fog, finally looked back.
"What's wrong?" His voice was very low, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, but there was firmness in his voice.
"Sister's tail is starting to bleed. We need water."
Coral's already broken tail now had several cracks, and was now bleeding.
"It's too dry here." said another mermaid who was holding onto the coral. "Our skin has already started to crack. If this continues, it will bleed."
Mr. Blackfish just shook his head and said, "If you want to leave here, you should not have anything to do with water."
"There is an ocean, undercurrents, and springs nearby, but why didn't I take you by water? It's because they believe that mermaids can't stay out of water for too long. Only by avoiding the water can we avoid being caught up."
Mr. Blackfish has actually said this twice.
The dozens of atavistic mermaids behind him didn't really have only seven seconds of memory.
Instead, in their panic, they need to confirm again and again that their current escape route is correct and that their choice is correct, so that they can persist in this extremely dry place and crawl with difficulty using their tails.
But Hai Lan looked at the weak Coral and couldn't help but quicken her pace to get closer to Mr. Blackfish.
He whispered, "Sir, my sister's wound is too serious. Can I just use a handful of water to moisten her skin?"
Mr. Blackfish tilted his head and said in a very low voice: "Hai Lan, do you still remember what I said to you?"
Hai Lan was stunned, and tried to recall, "No matter what happens, we must leave according to the plan..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, as if he just realized what this sentence meant.
But just because he realized it, didn't mean he understood it.
"You, you want me to give up my sister?" In his excitement, he forgot to lower his voice and didn't even use a respectful title for Mr. Blackfish.
The strange thing was that Coral, who was not far behind the two of them, clearly heard what Hai Lan said, but her face was calm and she said nothing.
Hai Lan was not aware of the calmness of the people behind him. He just noticed Mr. Blackfish's silence, so he tried to speak up for his fellow sister.
"Mr. Blackfish, it was my sister who first cooperated with you in taking the potion you made and contracted the terrible contamination disease. That's why the experiment on the atavistic mermaids was suspended and the atavistic mermaids were no longer under strict supervision."
Looking at Hai Lan who was so excited, Mr. Blackfish said nothing, but just continued to move forward silently without delaying for a moment.
During the time Hai Lan was speaking, she was already several meters behind Mr. Blackfish.
He hurriedly chased after him again, but saw Mr. Blackfish suddenly turned around and looked at him.
There was indifference in his eyes, as if he didn't care what he wanted to say.
Because of Hai Lan's hidden talent, he has always been a very special existence among the atavistic mermaids.
Many of the tasks of exploration, observation, and information transmission can only be done by him without being discovered.
Therefore, other mermaids usually regard him as their leader and attach the most importance to his safety. They will protect him from being discovered even if they have to sacrifice other mermaids.
But today, while on the run, Hai Lan suddenly realized that perhaps she was not the most important mermaid in Mr. Blackfish's mind.
Or it may just be important, but you have no say.
But Hailan didn't want to give up. She told him to throw away anyone except his sister Shanhu! However, before Hailan could catch up with Mr. Blackfish and speak again, Mr. Blackfish in front of him suddenly stopped.
Hailan almost bumped into the other person.
The leading black fish stared closely at the front. There was clearly no one there, but there was a pair of footprints on the ground.
Hai Lan followed Mr. Blackfish's gaze and also saw the footprints.
He immediately shut his mouth and stopped bothering Mr. Blackfish.
Flames suddenly ignited around the footprints. The flames seemed to have their own life and spread to Mr. Blackfish's feet with independent consciousness.
wizard!
Hai Lan's eyes suddenly widened! The fear that had seeped into his blood made him tremble involuntarily.
He could only place all his hopes on Mr. Blackfish in front of him.
The black fish did not move at all until the flames spread to its front, then it suddenly released a cloud of black smoke, directly extinguishing the flames.
However, after the flames went out, there was another sudden explosion, as if the heat wave from the magma was rushing towards Black Fish, directly vaporizing the black robe on his body.
Revealing the man hiding in the black robe.
And there was a fainted mermaid tightly held in the man's arms! (End of this chapter)
