A thin layer of mist covered the lake, making it impossible for ordinary people to see the direction of the lake.

The Fisherman King steered the wooden boat like a sickle, quickly cutting through the smooth surface of the lake, leaving a series of ripples.

Wayne was playing with a black pearl he got from Lala. It was the size of an egg, with a smooth and shiny surface, but it seemed to contain some kind of wonderful charm inside that could involuntarily attract the attention of others.

This is what Lala's brother Fitz stole. The school badge on his body reacts to this black pearl, but there is no record of anything about this kind of pearl in the knowledge that Wayne has learned.

The Fisherman King, who was steering the boat at the bow, remained silent, as if he had practiced a silent meditation. Except for the "let's go" at the beginning, he didn't say a word.

However, judging from the speed and stability with which he drove the boat, this guy who looked like an old man should have considerable physical strength and control, and was not as fragile as he appeared.

The wooden boat sailed for about half an hour, and an island covered with trees and vegetation gradually appeared in the sight of the three people.

The area of ​​Black Tern Island is quite large, almost comparable to the entire new city of Vizima. Not only that, in those places covered with vegetation and rocks, you can still vaguely see the remains of some ancient buildings. It is unknown whether they are the remains of elves from thousands of years ago, or the remains of an even earlier ancient race.

But no matter what, these ruins have long been abandoned, and the civilization that lived on them no longer exists. Now this deserted island has been occupied by a large number of wild animals and plants, as well as mermen.

After landing on the island in the middle of the lake, the Fisherman King, who was wearing tattered linen clothes, picked up a hatchet from the bow, found a stone to sit on, looked at Lala with cloudy eyes, and said, "I'll wait for you here."

After saying this, he fell silent again.

Wayne glanced at the Fisherman King, thinking that this mysterious man should be able to protect himself, so he turned to Lala and asked, "Lala, do you have a way to determine your brother's location?"

"If not, you and the Fisher King should stay here and wait for me."

He had only asked tentatively, but he didn't expect the little girl to have some tricks up her sleeve. She held up the colorful conch on her neck to show off and said:

"Wayne, I can find my brother. He also has a conch on him. As long as I blow the conch in my hand, I can sense where my brother is."

Wayne raised his eyebrows, feeling that the Lady of the Lake was really kind to Lala's family and had given them many good things. After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "In that case, Lala, use your invisibility spell and follow me."

"Be careful and don't get close to any monsters!"

The little guy nodded obediently, picked up the colorful conch in front of his chest, put it in his mouth and blew it.

No sound was made. After an invisible wave spread out, she blinked her eyes, pointed to the south of Black Tern Island, and said, "I feel it. My brother is over there, Wayne."

After saying that, the little earth spirit Lala blew the colorful conch again. Her body quickly became invisible and she followed Wayne carefully.

There is a dense forest in the center of the island, and the fastest way to reach the south where Lala indicated is to go through the forest.

However, entering an unfamiliar forest at night is undoubtedly a dangerous thing. After thinking for a few seconds, Wayne decided to be cautious and move quietly around the outskirts of the forest.

Anyway, as long as we know the location of the little earth spirit Fitz, we can find him by spending a little more time.

The stealth journey was relatively smooth. Although they encountered several wild wolves and brown bears on the road, no fight occurred due to the soothing of Wayne's Axis Seal.

Half an hour later, Wayne and Lala finally bypassed the forest area, passed through a wilderness covered with flowers and grass, and came to a damp cave near the lake.

Looking around, several monsters with fish heads holding wooden sticks and bone spears were guarding near the cave in a daze, chattering about something in low voices, and it was obvious that they would not let other creatures enter the cave.

Looking at how they could move freely in the dark without torches, Wayne frowned, guessing that this creature also had the ability of dark vision.

But think about it, life at the bottom of a lake or the sea is obviously different from life on land. Without sunlight, light cannot penetrate such deep places. If you want to live there, you must be able to move freely in the dark.

"Your brother should be in that cave, but it should be dangerous there. Wait for me here and don't go in. I will handle it by myself."

The little guy was quite well-behaved and didn't show off. He immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Wayne, but you have to be careful too. May the goddess bless you."

After instructing Lala, Wayne took a few steps back, found the back of a huge rock, sat down cross-legged, and took out the swallow potion, wolf potion and Maribo Forest potion from the magic pattern storage bag.

These three potions can respectively increase Wayne's physical recovery speed, attack speed and the speed of casting spells.

Considering that the target of this attack was a monster with relatively weak defense, such as the merman, he did not take thunder to increase his strength, but decided to strengthen his advantage of fast attack speed so that he could cause damage in a very short time.

After drinking the three bottles of potion, Wayne felt his body and it seemed that he could still withstand more toxicity. After thinking for a few seconds, he gritted his teeth, took out a bottle of cat potion from the storage bag, and drank it in one gulp.

Soon, as his eyes became bloodshot, things around him became clearer, and a feeling of itching and pain filled his blood vessels and muscles.

This is the body telling it that the toxicity has reached its limit and cannot increase any further.

Wayne exhaled a breath, endured the discomfort in his body, took out a bottle of invisibility potion and a bottle of healing potion from Azeroth from his storage bag, and put them into his waist bag along with seven or eight alchemical bombs.

No one knows how many murlocs are in the cave. These alchemical bombs and potions are his life-saving reliance.

After everything was ready, Wayne hid the steel sword behind the stone, took a deep breath, drew out the master-level silver sword in his hand, pushed the ground with his feet, lowered his body, and with the cover of the weeds, rushed towards the mermen guarding the cave entrance at an extremely fast speed.

These sub-human creatures, whose heights were generally between 1.2 and 1.4 meters, never imagined that someone would attack them at night.

Before they could react, the three murlocs closest to Wayne had already fallen in the fierce sword light, and their heads were chopped off by the sharp silver sword.

At the same time, Wayne also realized that the strength of these half-fish men was much smaller than that of normal human males. Although they had limbs, the structure of their limb joints made it impossible for them to be as flexible as humans.

However, their bodies are covered with a thick layer of scales, like fish scales, densely stacked in many layers. When the silver sword cuts them, it will cause a little bit of obstruction, which is equivalent to wearing a piece of leather armor.

After killing three murlocs in a row, the other murlocs also reacted. A slightly fat half-murloc with only one eye left was the fastest. It picked up the spear in its hand, raised its head, let out a strange cry, and stabbed towards Wayne's lower abdomen.

However, his speed was obviously much slower than Wayne's. As soon as he raised the spear made of fish bones, Wayne's silver sword pierced through his only remaining fish eye at lightning speed, instantly destroying the half-merman's underdeveloped brain.

After killing the murloc, Wayne didn't stop at all. He immediately drew out the silver sword, twisted his waist, kicked away the body of the murloc in front of him, and launched a swift diagonal slash at the other murloc closest to him.

The fishman obviously had some combat experience. He raised a rusty iron axe and wanted to use the axe blade to block the attack, but Wayne's speed was simply beyond the ability of these monsters, which were weaker than water ghosts, to react.

Before the merman could raise his arm, the sharp sword light had already cut off half of its body.

The fishy blood gushed out, and the fishy body was split into two. Wayne did not dodge, and with the cover of the blood, he made another horizontal slash, directly cutting off the skull of the last half-fishman at the entrance of the cave.

From the launch of the attack to the end of the battle, it took less than half a minute, and six murlocs had fallen under Wayne's sword.

To be frank, with the blessing of level five swordsmanship, the skill expertise of cat agility, the agility talent of a half-elf, and the enhanced boost from the wolf potion, Wayne's attack speed is definitely among the best in the entire Northern Kingdom.

Dealing with these weak murlocs who were still using bone spears and wooden sticks and didn't even have a decent set of armor was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
