Shadow Covenant

Chapter 16 "The Hooked Fish"

Palermo, late at night.

The white lighthouse on the cliff used to guide the ships back to the port was fulfilling its duties, and the magical light blooming could be seen by ships thirty miles away.

The white light emitted from the lighthouse like a bright moon also penetrated the blue-gray sea water at the same time. From a distance, it looks like a flickering black seaweed.

The roughness of the upper layers has nothing to do with the bottom of the sea.

It is not affected by the wind and waves on the sea surface, and the quiet night is in this calm and peaceful clear seabed sand bed.

Colorful small fish are foraging and avoiding natural enemies in the nearby coral reefs. From under the reefs, some crustaceans can be seen moving slowly.

An adult stingray buried under the white sand seabed woke up, not only muddying the originally clear bottom, but also began to make strange moves.

The bow is suspended above the seabed, as if it is welcoming something.

After a while, the sea current was faster than the black shadow in the distance, and it reached the sandy land first, causing a shock ten times greater than that of the stingray waking up just now.

The sea sand all over the sky and the seabed soft mud rolled up by the currents destroyed the tranquility and peace of this place in an instant.

The culprit soon appeared above the reef.

A mouth full of fangs protruding from the huge fish head, a slender tail full of power, and webbed claws growing from the end of the arms and legs.

If Woody was here, he'd be instantly recognizable, and that's what he was going for tonight.

Sahuagin.

But if Woody sees the quantity clearly, he will definitely feel that "going out" and "fishing" are forbidden today.

After all, he didn't even think about catching a sahuagin battle group! ——I saw at least thirty sahuagin holding fishbone spears or tridents hovering above the calm seabed.

There were a few reef sharks swimming on the edge of the battle group, and on the back of the sharks sat sahuagin scouts, the vanguard of the sahuagin army.

"Soldiers, not far ahead is the city without gills that the baron said!"

"There's a lot of meat in there!"

"We can't finish eating for days and nights."

At the front of the battle group, on the back of a great white shark, a sahuagin who was stronger than other sahuagins and whose scales were darker textured turned his head to the sahuagin behind him, revealing a "blood" Smiling like a "big mouth", its sound also spread to the ear fins of each sahuagin through the water flow.

Narrows is a "mutated" sahuagin, born about one in every 200 sahuagin.

It has four arms, except for the two hands holding the weapon and the shark's rein, the other two webbed claws are always placed on the shield and weapon hanging from the waist. It seems that it only needs one action to fully arm itself. stand up.

But when Naros heard that the commander of the battle group was also a tribal priest, Mr. Cavill's mouth immediately secreted saliva, and his four arms couldn't help waving.

Narrows seemed to see a bright future, and couldn't help cheering.

Meat!Tender meat!

That is the gillless meat that is second only to the delicious sahuayu human meat!Except that they cannot inherit the strength of their brothers, the meat of gillless species can satisfy everything they imagined.

The meat is not only soft and elastic, but even the bones are full of juice.

"So, later, we will try our best to drag those gillless species into the sea and bring them back to the tribe! Is it possible? Brave soldiers!"

Before the cheers brought by Naros spread to the entire battle group, the commander of the battle group began to explain what every sahuagin should do in the next night raid.

However, the intestines and stomachs of the sahuagin abdominal cavity had begun to wriggle, making their gills start to howl uncontrollably.

"Meat! Tender meat!"

The war group was full of fighting spirit in an instant. After Cavill finished speaking, he also looked at the sahuagin war group in a frenzied atmosphere with great satisfaction.

The morale motivation is successful, and the next thing is to see whether the god of hunting, Sekola, can bless these children this time. As usual, they have returned with success.

"For the meat!"

"For meat! For tribe!"

"For the Baron!"

Amidst the shouts, the sahuagin battle group began to move again, and the sahuagin scouts riding on sharks took the lead, heading towards the coast that glowed with magic in the darkness.

Cavill watched all this with satisfaction, but just when it was about to use spells to meet the return of the sahuagin soldiers of the war group at any time in this sea area, the water flow brought an inaudible bloody smell from afar.

His complexion suddenly changed, and the scales and eyelids on the fish's head became brilliant.

As the priest of the shark god Sekola, Cavill, who knows sharks very well, naturally knows what this trace of blood is.

It's a shark, and among the sharks, it's a megalodon that is even more ferocious than the great white shark when it grows up.

From the blood analysis, this megalodon should not be an adult yet.

Moreover, having blood means that it is injured!

It is simply an excellent taming opportunity.

"Praise the God of the Hunt! Praise the great and merciful Sekora!"

Cavill couldn't wait, and immediately stopped Naros, who had not completely left the sea area, the most trusted and strongest sahuagin warrior in the battle group.

This great task was quickly handed over to Naros and a sahuagin team assigned to it.

If the taming is successful, an adult megalodon can think with the brain of a goldfish, and it can know how much strength it can bring to the tribe. At that time, let alone looting the surrounding areas of the city, even if it is a merchant ship protected by a mage It is not impossible for them to try to collect protection fees.

Seeing Narrows leaving with excitement and saying that meat is meat, Cavill was also very happy in his heart.

How favorably has Sekora treated it.

Tonight, if the rumor is true, then the tribe will no longer have to worry about offering sacrifices in a short period of time, and it will also encounter the juvenile megalodon that is difficult to meet in normal times.

In the parlance of those gillless species, it's called "double the fun"

It believes that after tonight, it won't be long.

Its "menarche tribe" will become the top ten sahuagin tribe in the Qianfan shallow sea area.

At that time, the great Sekola, the patron saint of the sahuagin, will definitely give it the reward it deserves for this devout "staff holder".

……

On the other side, the southwestern coast of Palermo.

Woody, who was hiding behind the shadow of the boulder, didn't care about the coastline that was getting farther and farther away from the pit where the shark blood bait was sprinkled, but concentrated on staring at the sparkling sea not far away.

Finally, at some point.

Several huge fins rise from the sea.

After Woody saw it, he held the long steel sword in his right hand, and poured the potion from his waist into his mouth with his left hand.

When the hot and spicy liquid ran across his throat, his thoughts calmed down along with the volatilized potion.

Seeing the figure of the murloc gradually leaving the sea, Woody knew.

Fish... Hooked!
