Chapter 357: Deep Sea Giant (Two chapters in one)
At this time, Ryan, who was resting on the side, suddenly found that the people of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group looked at him with strange eyes, and seemed to be mixed with a bit of respect.
At first, Ryan thought it was because he helped the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group to kill many thick-shelled lobster people.
Until a few minutes later.
Fandral came over and whispered a little restrainedly:
"Sir Ryan, you... You should not be a third-level wizard apprentice, but a formal wizard, right?"
"Oh? Captain Fandral, how did you find out?" Ryan smiled, and didn't mind that Fandral discovered some of his hidden strength.
However, he was still a little curious about how the other party found out.
After all, he thought he had concealed it on purpose.
"Well, don't you think you've cast the zero-level magic 'Sharpness' a bit too many times?"
"More than thirty 'Sharpness', it's impossible for a wizard apprentice to have the mental power, even for a third-level wizard apprentice." Fandral said firmly.
"Huh?" Ryan thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized.
Yes! He has already reached 68 points of mental power.
Although casting more than thirty 'Sharpness' only used about one-third of his mental power for him, it is almost the full mental power of a formal wizard.
So that's it.
"Georgia, give the primary mental power recovery potion over there to Lord Ryan." Fandral turned to his sister Georgia and said.
This time, the girl didn't say a word, lowered her head, and walked forward with an extremely well-behaved look, holding a bottle of light blue potion shaped like an ink bottle in both hands, and handed it to Ryan respectfully.
There was no trace of arrogance as before.
The girl did not question her brother, why he gave such an expensive primary mental power recovery potion to the other party.
Ryan smiled slightly, took it, and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome! Lord Ryan, I was wrong before." The girl's white cheeks flushed slightly, and she apologized weakly.
Ryan waved his hand. He naturally would not care about a girl. Besides, the other party was not bad by nature, just a little arrogant.
After a while of rest.
The Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group relied on Ryan's improved sharp technique to attack the lobster camp again.
Soon, the thick-shelled lobster warriors in this camp were almost killed by snipers, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled also hid in the semicircular mud house, not daring to show their heads.
The sacks brought by the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group this time were also filled to the brim at this moment.
Everyone was happy!
This time they originally planned to last for seven to ten days. Now because of Ryan, most of them were completed in just half a day, and nearly sixty pairs of giant claws were harvested.
"Captain, should we move to another place? If we stay here for too long, we might attract the attention of the Poseidon Cult." A tower shield warrior walked up to Fandral and reminded him.
"Yes! I almost forgot!" Fandral, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly came to his senses and patted his head heavily.
"Everyone, pack up the spoils and move immediately."
At this time, Ryan looked up to the west, frowned slightly, and said, "Captain Fandral, tell everyone to organize defense. It's too late to retreat."
"The enemy is already here!"
"What!"
Hearing Ryan's words, everyone was stunned!
Then, everyone, including Fandral, immediately looked to the west. After seeing the number of enemies attacking, their faces changed drastically.
"Oh my God! Look, why is that lobster man so big!"
"Yes! And one of its claws is particularly huge!" An archer with the best eyesight exclaimed.
Everyone immediately focused their eyes and looked.
Sure enough, a giant lobster man nearly three meters tall stood out among a group of normal lobster men who were only two meters tall.
Surrounding them were more than a dozen elite lobster men with shining claws, and even two black-robed men who looked like Poseidon monks. At this moment, they were rushing towards the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group with great momentum.
"Retreat to the right!" Fandral saw such a large number of them and said with a serious face.
"Not good, captain, there are lobster men on the left and right, and there are more of them!" The next second, a team member exclaimed.
"Quick! Back against the reef and organize a defensive formation!" Fandral's face changed and he quickly changed the order.
"Tower shield warriors, move forward, archers, get ready!"
Hearing the captain's orderly order, the panic on the faces of the people in the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group soon subsided a lot, but they still couldn't hide their worries.
However, Fandral was able to use all his advantages to boost the spirits of the team members. He shouted loudly:
"Don't panic! Don't forget that we still have Lord Ryan. Lord Ryan is a formal wizard!"
Although the team members had previously speculated that Ryan might not be as simple as a wizard apprentice, now that they heard their leader's affirmative answer, their morale was immediately boosted.
Because even if it was a third-level wizard apprentice, there was a huge gap in combat power between that and a formal wizard.
"Yes! With Lord Ryan here, we just need to do our own thing!"
"That's right! We will definitely win!"
"Lord Ryan, please cast the sharp spell on the two archers first."
"We have to kill the opponent's Poseidon monks first, otherwise, I'm afraid that the tower shield warriors will not be able to withstand their evil spells." Fandral said to Ryan respectfully.
He knew very well that the key to whether they could hold on was still the young wizard Ryan in front of him.
"Of course." Ryan smiled and nodded in agreement.
On the other hand, the chieftain of the thick-shelled lobster people, Yakaolan, adopted a three-sided encirclement tactic. He thought that the human mercenary group on the opposite side would be scared and flee, but he didn't expect that the other side would actually defend against the solid reef.
"Interesting!"
"Sure enough, they are quite powerful."
"Go!" With Yakaolan's order, more than a dozen elite thick-shelled lobster people rushed up.
The two Poseidon monks on the side also began to chant spells and cast spells. However, they were still very cautious and first cast a defensive witchcraft similar to the water film spell on themselves.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
The two had just finished casting the spell, and the next second, five or six streams of light arrived in an instant!
The two Poseidon monks couldn't help but sneer when they saw this scene.
Want to sneak attack?
Too slow!
But then, the sneer on their faces froze.
Because they saw that the flying arrow was very unusual, and the silver light on the arrow was so obvious, even a little dazzling.
"This is the sharp technique!"
In an instant, the two of them figured out some things, such as why the thick-shelled lobster man, who has a thick shell for defense, was beaten and asked for help.
"Puff! Puff!"
The sound of penetration rang out one after another!
I saw that a Poseidon monk had been shot in the forehead and fell straight down, while the other one was hit by three arrows in a row in the waist and abdomen.
"How could it be penetrated with one shot!" The seriously injured Poseidon monk, his eyes widened, exclaimed in disbelief.
"This kind of power."
He found that the opponent's sharp technique was definitely strange. The water film technique defense was penetrated by an arrow, just like a bubble. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.
"Gurgle gurgle." He wanted to remind Yakaolan on the side, but the second seriously injured Poseidon monk had a lot of blood bubbles coming out of his mouth, and soon followed the footsteps of the previous one.
"Huh?!"
Two Poseidon monks died in an instant, which made the thick-shelled lobster chief Yakaolan look a little ugly.
He was very upset about the heavy casualties of his family members before, and this time, the death of the Poseidon monks made it even more difficult for him to go back and report to Lord Havers.
"Human mercenaries, you are courting death!"
The tall Yakaolan could no longer hold back, waving his two asymmetrical pale blue giant claws, one large and one small, and rushed straight towards the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
At this time, the mercenaries saw that two Poseidon monks were killed in an instant. At this moment, the morale of the mercenaries was high, and at the same time, the battle formation defense became tighter.
Three tower shield warriors were in front, and the knights' long swords in their hands were also used by Ryan to perform the sharpening technique. Behind them were six archers and rangers, and Ryan and Fandral were at the end.
Ryan timely accelerated the speed of performing the sharpening technique, basically, one sharpening technique per second.
If the six archers and rangers were regarded as Gatling guns, Ryan was the ammunition chain, shooting the thick-shelled lobster warriors to flee in panic!
"Ding Ding Dang Dang!"
However, with the addition of Akaolan, whose shell was much harder and thicker than that of ordinary lobster men, he actually rushed up against the rain of arrows with the sharpness technique, but Akaolan was also shot in pain!
Naturally, he also discovered the key to the difficulty of dealing with this human mercenary group in front of him - there was something wrong with the arrows! He
had to get close!
Akaolan made a decision quickly.
"No, the big guys are coming! Give me the tower shield!" Fandral in the battle formation immediately discovered that the strength of the huge lobster man in front of him was not right, so he picked up a tower shield and was about to go up.
"Giant claw shock!"
Akaolan, who had already rushed to the front of the battle formation, suddenly raised the pale blue giant claw that was three times larger than the ordinary giant claw and comparable to the size of a wine barrel. With a flash of blue arc light, the giant claw slammed heavily into the ground several meters in front of the tower shield warrior.
"Boom!!!"
Like a dragon turning over, the ground instantly became as soft as noodles, and a powerful shock wave immediately shook the three tower shield warriors to the ground.
"The shadow of the claws is heavy!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Yakaolan followed and rushed in. The pair of giant claws in his hands stabbed three times like lightning, and immediately the three thick tower shields were twisted and deformed, and the three tower shield warriors were also screamed and knocked away.
Fortunately, with the defense of the tower shield, the injuries of several people were not serious, but the left arm holding the shield in the air was obviously twisted and deformed.
"Not good! The opponent is Yakaolan, the chief of the thick-shelled lobster man!"
Seeing that the opponent had only two moves to break his carefully constructed "tower shield defense line", and thinking of the characteristics of the opponent's large and small giant claws, Fandral couldn't help but think of something in an instant and exclaimed.
"You know me, so you should know that today is the day you die!" Akaolan said in the common language, which he was not very proficient in, with a smug look in the eyes of the two matchsticks.
"I will cut you in half one by one, and let you die screaming and wailing!"
"Huh? There's another human chick, and she's Commander Dune's favorite. Not bad, this chick can survive." Yakalan obviously saw Georgia in the crowd, and showed a look of joy, waving his giant claws and pointing, saying.
At this moment, the remaining archers and rangers all looked panicked.
After all, the tower shield warriors with extremely strong defenses could not withstand the opponent's two claws. They were covered in leather armor and could not withstand even a casual attack from the opponent.
Although Lord Ryan was a formal wizard, they were facing a chieftain-level monster like Yakalan, the chieftain of the thick-shelled lobster man.
A formal wizard would never be his opponent.
That was a quasi-legendary peak existence.
Unless Lord Ryan was a second-level liquefied wizard, he might be able to save his life.
The luck of their team was really bad, and they actually encountered the strongest existence among the thick-shelled lobster people.
"Now, all of you die!" Yakalan suddenly waved his claws and rushed forward.
"Bang!!"
Fandal stepped forward and raised his shield to resist.
But as soon as the fight started, the creaking of the tower shield and the boots sinking deep into the ground made Fandral, the person involved, know that he was no match for the other party. Akaolan's power was too strong.
"Run! I can't hold on for much longer!" Fandral roared.
"Sir Ryan, protect my sister!"
"Retreat? Why should we retreat?" Ryan's calm voice came.
Everyone was stunned! Before they understood what he meant, they all felt a flash in front of their eyes, and Sir Ryan's figure disappeared.
"Swish!"
Suddenly, Fandral felt a strong wind behind him, and then something seemed to flash in front of him.
Another second passed, and Fandral felt something was wrong.
Because the thick-shelled lobster chieftain Akaolan did not attack again, and he saw the team members beside him from the corner of his eye, each of them seemed to be struck by lightning and stood still.
Almost everyone's mouth was wide open, as if a whole pear could be stuffed in!
This made Fandral a little confused.
He carefully poked his head out of the top of the tower shield.
The next second, he froze!
Because Lord Ryan had appeared in front of him without knowing when, holding a short spear in his hand.
On the short spear, at this moment, some light blue liquid was dripping.
The thick-shelled lobster chieftain, Akaolan, was lying on the ground and motionless, but he still maintained the posture of waving his giant claws to resist.
The opponent's two upright, piercing matchstick eyes had completely drooped down.
There was a small round hole in the carapace between the two eyes, and at this moment, light blue blood was still gushing out.
Obviously, there was a fatal wound.
Fandral knew that the place was where the lobster man's brain was.
But how could this be possible?
Judging from the situation, it should be that Lord Ryan used the short spear in his hand to pierce the giant claws that Akaolan was resisting, and then pierced the opponent's carapace again, hitting the brain, which led to this effect.
"This is the giant claw lobster chieftain Yakaolan!"
"The third most wanted sea warrior."
"Lord Ryan killed him with one strike!"
"Oh my God! Lord Ryan's strength."
For a moment, the people who came back to their senses exclaimed in surprise!
Looking at Ryan, they all showed shock, joy, admiration and so on!
And the remaining thick-shelled lobster warriors around, seeing this scene, their matchstick eyes were stunned!
Their own mighty chieftain Yakaolan died just like that!
Suddenly, the thick-shelled lobster warriors who had surrounded them on three sides fled in all directions.
For Ryan, the strength of the giant claw lobster chieftain Yakaolan was roughly at the peak of quasi-legendary, just touching the threshold of legend, so naturally he would not be his opponent.
Of course, under normal circumstances, the opponent could fight him for a few moves.
But this time he suddenly used the Shadow Step to attack, and the speed was too fast, so it caused the situation of killing in one blow.
"Lord Raylene, you should not be just a formal wizard!"
After a full minute, Fandral still couldn't calm down the shock and excitement in his heart, and said to Ryan with a slight stutter.
"I wanted to stay with you for a while, but now it seems that it's not possible." Ryan looked at his destination from a distance.
The Frost Cliff was more than ten miles away.
Originally, he came to understand the situation, and now he has almost found out.
"Captain Fandral, you have to be careful, the strength of the Sea God Cult is more than that. I'm going to the Frost Cliff ahead." Ryan said to Fandral with a smile.
"Sir Ryan, are you leaving? But you promised to complete the Empire's bounty with us." Georgia couldn't help but step forward and said, with some reluctance in her words.
Ryan smiled and pointed at the bodies of thick-shelled lobstermen lying on the ground, especially the huge body of the lobsterman chieftain Yakaolan, and said:
"Counting these, your task of one hundred thick-shelled lobstermen corpses must have been exceeded."
"Sir Ryan, shall we go with you?" Fandral thought for a moment and took the initiative to say.
"Not good, we may encounter the Poseidon Cult ahead." Ryan shook his head and said.
Just now, he discovered that the direction that the thick-shelled lobsterman chieftain Yakaolan had just come from seemed to be the direction of the rime cliff.
This means that the Poseidon Cult's nest is likely to be there.
It might be very close to the destination of his trip.
A quarter of an hour later.
In the cave hall.
Havers and Diam were exchanging some opinions on cooperation in a peaceful atmosphere.
At this time, a thick-shelled lobster warrior came to report in a panic, saying: "Lord Havers, it's bad, Chief Akaolan was killed!"
"What!" Havers, who always kept his emotions to himself, couldn't help but stand up and said in shock.
"Akaolan is dead? How did he die?" Ursula, the high priest of the Slippery Blade Naga, was shocked and asked hurriedly.
The deep-sea giant leader Dun, who was originally dozing, opened his huge lantern-like eyes after hearing the news and looked over.
"I didn't see it clearly!" The thick-shelled lobster warrior thought for a long time and said in fear.
It really didn't see clearly how the head of its family was killed.
"It was killed by a white-robed wizard. The other party killed Chief Akaolan with a spear."
"White robe? A spear?" Diam muttered to himself.
Why does this sound familiar?
"Waste!" The giant commander Dun seemed particularly displeased with this lobster man who had escaped after being defeated.
He stretched out his millstone-like hand and grabbed the thick-shelled lobster man warrior.
"Spare my life!"
"Pah!" A crisp explosion sounded, and the thick-shelled lobster man in Dun's big hand had been torn to pieces, with all kinds of body fluids and shell debris dripping all over the ground.
"Havers, I'll go take a look!"
"Boom boom!"
The giant commander Dun, without waiting for Havers to speak, picked up the anchor and walked out of the cave. Every time his tall figure took a step, the ground shook slightly.
For a while, no one in the cave spoke.
Diam of the Black Flame Church, as a guest, naturally would not comment on this matter.
Havers has always been quite afraid of the deep-sea giant commander Dun, who has never obeyed his orders. When he heard that the other party took the initiative to go and take a look, he naturally would not object.
As for the high priest of the Slippery Blade Naga, Ursula, her beautiful face first slightly turned her head to look at Havers, then looked at the tall figure going away, and was quite wise to keep silent.
A few minutes later,
"Sir Diam, how about we go and take a look? Although the strength of Akaolan is not top-notch, it is not so easy for humans to kill him."
Havers pondered for a while, then turned to Diam and said.
"Of course, it's just right, I can also admire the strength of Commander Dune." As a guest, Diam naturally followed the host's wishes, and he was also quite curious about the combat power of the deep-sea giants, so he nodded and agreed immediately.
A few minutes later, following the giant commander Dune, the three of them also headed towards the direction of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group under the protection of a group of Poseidon Cults and Slippery Blade Naga elites.
Near the southern camp of the thick-shelled lobster people.
Ryan was saying goodbye to the people of the Ice Claw Bear Mercenary Group.
Suddenly, he uttered a soft "huh" and turned his head to look to the west.
Others couldn't help but follow Ryan's line of sight.
A tall figure was seen walking towards them from a distance. The bushes were more than one meter high, and the height was just up to the other person's ankles. The ground was shaking slightly with the other person's steps.
"Not good! This... This is a deep-sea giant!"
"But how can this deep-sea giant be so big!" Fandral exclaimed.
"What! A deep-sea giant?!"
"Don't be afraid, we have Lord Ryan here!" Hearing this, the panicked people felt much better at once. However, after looking at the other person's exaggerated height, even those who had confidence in Ryan suddenly felt nervous.
The other person was estimated to be more than ten meters tall. With this body size, does Lord Ryan really have a chance of winning?
"Haha! Finally found it, you little mice!"
"I heard that you killed Akaolan. Although he is also a waste, you can't kill him. So, I'm going to eat your flesh and bones!"
"Oh, there's a little girl here, not bad!"
A voice like thunder came from the giant's mouth, resounding through the wilderness!
