The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Chapter 250 Choice (two chapters in one)

For a moment, Ryan seemed to be enveloped by some strange energy.

At this moment, he could clearly see the movements of the surrounding fishmen and the Blood-Cursed Nagas that had surrounded him, but the other party could not see him.

The fish people's watery eyes were staring at each other, looking completely at a loss.

The Blood Curse Naga was also stunned for a moment!
But soon, as highly intelligent creatures like humans, they immediately realized that the human just now must have used some kind of witchcraft.

Ryan did not hesitate or stay for too long. He took advantage of the one minute or so of invisibility and quickly walked down the stone steps of the cave.

All I saw were strips of stone steps going down around the edge of the circular cave.

The surface of the stairs is light green and covered with a lot of moss, so it seems that they are quite old.

As Ryan quickly reached the bottom, the entire interior of the cave appeared before his eyes.

He discovered that a fierce battle seemed to have taken place here a long time ago.

The evidence is that the originally normal passage constructed of blue stone slabs was shattered by some huge force. At this moment, the entire passage has been shattered and collapsed, including several Doric-style stone columns around it, which have also shattered and fallen to one side.

Next to the original passage, there was a newly dug cave with a diameter of four or five meters.

Following the deep cave, it seems that we can reach somewhere in this ruins.

Ryan could see that inside this newly dug cave, the walls were inlaid with pearls and luminous stones of various sizes, emitting a faint fluorescence.

But for Ryan, it doesn’t matter whether there is lighting or not. With his dark vision, he can see clearly.

About tens of meters away, the shadow of a humanoid creature could be seen flickering.

Judging from its tall size, it seemed to be a male Blood Curse Naga patrolling with his pet.

This is consistent with the results of Veronica's previous detection using the white seagull.

However, at this moment, a rustling sound like a giant snake crawling came from behind Ryan.

Obviously, these should be the Blood-Cursed Nagas that were originally on the beach, coming down to check the situation.

Ryan quickly looked around and found a broken stone pillar in front of him that was big enough for one man to hug, which provided a perfect place to hide.

So, with a quick move, Ryan hid in this groove.

After the rustling sound of the Blood Curse Naga and the clattering footsteps of the densely packed fishmen, the entrance of the passage finally returned to silence.

It seems that the other party has given up looking for him.

However, the Blood Curse Naga is not stupid. It is very likely that the other party has strengthened its vigilance in the passage.

Ryan didn't care about this.

After taking a look at the system prompt, the words "something golden" caught his eye, which made him startled and take a closer look.

The system prompts as follows:

[Your skill Giant Bear Swordsmanship has been improved, experience value +912]

[Your skill Tokkal Hammer has been improved, and your experience value is +1919]

[You have experienced a battle, and the weapon master (legendary) experience value +1109]

(Note: The above skills and experience have enjoyed a 30% increase in the exclusive talent 'Elementary Extraordinary Comprehension'.)
[Congratulations, you defeated a strong enemy and gained 1 gold skill point! 】

[Congratulations, your Weapon Master (Legendary) career level has been improved! 】

The Weapon Master (Legendary) professional level has been upgraded by one level to reach lv7 (331/5000).

This also allowed Ryan to gain one attribute point and one skill point again.

Now he has 14 attribute points remaining and 2 skill point remaining.

What surprised Ryan even more was that this battle earned him 1 gold skill point, which brought his gold skill points to 2 points.

The role of gold skill points is very important, for example, they can be used to advance to ultimate skills.

When he thought of this, Ryan couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

At this moment, when he looked up at the tall figure vaguely visible in the deep tunnel, his eyes were full of brilliance.
"If I kill him thoroughly, I wonder how many gold skill points I can earn?"

However, Ryan did not forget his rescue mission.

After calming down, he took out the sensing stone from his arms again and took a look at it. He found that the brightness was higher than before.

He knew it wasn't because of the darkness in the cave.

Ryan took a few more steps forward and could feel a slight increase in brightness, which meant that he was getting closer and closer to his target person, Alyosha.

Because there are often roars from huge and ferocious sea beasts in the tunnel, as well as the chattering of fishmen from time to time, the entire cave is not quiet, but rather full of various noises.

This created good conditions for Ryan to infiltrate.

Even if he encountered patrolling merfolk on the way, as long as he controlled the movement of the battle a little, he would not attract the siege of many sea creatures.

In addition, Ryan also discovered that this long cave was not dug in a straight line, but had a relatively large arc. Basically, you could not see the inner situation more than thirty or forty meters away.
-
On the coastal defense line.

When Veronica and a group of giant shield crossbowmen saw the four or five blood-cursed nagas that had originally rushed into the cave come out again, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise!
In my mind, I couldn't help but think: "Sir Ryan, did he die or survive?"

The girl with twin ponytails, who was more concerned about Ryan, was horrified and pale at this moment!

Ryan wouldn't have already...
She gritted her teeth and took out a strange green glass bottle from her arms in a slightly panicked manner.

Veronica quickly pulled out the cork, and saw an extremely agile, transparent white seagull come out of the bottle and fly around her.

This is the rare White Seagull Essence, which is extremely hard to come by.

This is because the soul energy of ordinary birds is not strong and cannot form essence.

If you want to form a bird spirit, you need to cultivate it carefully. This white seagull spirit is the result of Veronica's cultivation for nearly a year.

The most important thing is that this white seagull spirit has formed a certain spiritual connection with Veronica.

According to Veronica's mentor, Ennius, once the spirit of the white seagull is injured, Veronica's spirit will also be greatly traumatized, which may affect Veronica's subsequent promotion to a formal wizard.

This is also the reason why Veronica did not use the essence of the white seagull before.

But at this moment, she took it out regardless because she was worried about Ryan's condition.

With the help of the spirit of the white seagull, Veronica can perform the first-level magic "Bird Spirit Detection", which was originally only successfully performed by formal wizards.

As the clear sound of the spell rang out.

In front of Veronica, the air began to fluctuate slightly. After a few seconds, suddenly, some strange mist condensed and formed an oval mirror-like object.

The image in the mirror was a bird's-eye view of the many sea creatures on the beach.

Moreover, this scene was moving rapidly towards the cave on the island.

It turns out that this dynamic picture is from the perspective of the white seagull spirit!
Such a magical scene made the imperial soldiers standing by marvel in amazement.

As the elite troops of the empire, they had seen various powerful attack spells a few times. But it was the first time they had seen a spell like the one performed by the girl with twin ponytails, which had no attack power but was so magical.

Everyone spontaneously formed a circle and stared at the mirror formed by witchcraft.

They also wanted to know what happened to the young but powerful Lord Ryan after he rushed into the cave?
Less than ten seconds.

The white seagull spirit nimbly rushed into the underground cave on the island.

at the same time.

Viscount Felke, riding a griffin in the sky, was flying rapidly towards another island several kilometers away.

An altar on the island was covered in a large reflective water film shortly after it was discovered by the Griffin Knight and could no longer be seen.

However, this is also an important stronghold of the sea people confirmed by the imperial military.

Previously, the Empire's special departments, including the Sword Bearers, had deployed several teams relying on griffin delivery, but up to now, there has been no news.

Even two of his griffin knights were included among them.

However, the latest news just arrived that the nearby imperial troops reported that this large reflective water film suddenly disappeared.

Could it be that the two teams of sword-wielders have made some achievements?

This is why he came to check it out immediately.

Soon, Viscount Felke flew over the island.

At this moment, the altar was clearly visible. On the ground, six or seven male Blood Curse Nagas were commanding the fishmen and lobstermen to do something.

There were many signs of fierce fighting around the altar. The ground was bumpy and there were even flames burning in many places.

This made Viscount Felke's pupils shrink suddenly.

He knew very well that it was the effect caused by fire magic.

It is unlikely that the sea people are good at fire magic
It seems that the several exploration teams of the imperial army must have encountered accidents.

As for the two supporting swordsman teams?
With so many blood-cursed nagas, the situation doesn't seem good.
but
As he got closer, Viscount Felke suddenly discovered that there was a hidden cave under the altar!

It is more secretive than the cave that Ryan went to.

And their previous aerial explorations had never found it!

When Viscount Felke saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a cloud of gloom in his heart!
What the hell are the sea people doing?

There are already two cave entrances leading underground?

any left?

Could it be that there are some secrets hidden underground?
Inside the cave.

As Ryan continued to move forward, suddenly, he sensed something.

Turning around quickly, Ryan saw a transparent white seagull emitting a hazy light flying towards him quickly from the cave entrance.

White seagull?
Ryan immediately realized something.

When the other party approached, a familiar and crisp voice came into Ryan's mind.

"Ryan, great, you're okay!" It was Veronica.

"Hey, Veronica, what are you doing?"

"This is the effect of a first-level witchcraft. I can't hold on for long. Ryan, I can help you explore the situation ahead." Veronica said quickly.

After a brief thought, Ryan shook his head and said, "Not for now, just follow me." Although Veronica didn't quite understand why Ryan didn't let her go forward to investigate, she knew that when it came to fighting, Ryan was a professional.

You can't go wrong if you listen to him.

At this moment, the imperial soldiers standing next to Veronica were looking at Ryan, who was almost uninjured, in surprise.

I didn't expect that with so many sea creatures just passing by, in the end, this Lord Ryan was actually unharmed!
Due to the perspective of the White Seagull Spirit, it was right behind Ryan.

So, they could clearly see Ryan's entire exploration process.

As Ryan moved forward, their hearts were hanging as they feared the unknown dangers that might exist in the cave.

Because the direction of the cave was an arc, Ryan walked forward for dozens of meters and suddenly stopped.

A few seconds later, a small group of fishmen armed with various weapons came towards them.

The height of these fishmen is not much different from that of human males, ranging from about 1.7 to 1.8 meters.

In addition, the skin color is a rare grayish white, and there are many red stripes on the dorsal fin, which seems to be some kind of characteristic.

This is a kind of fishman that has never been seen before.

The weapons in his hands are much better than those of the mermen on the beach. He not only has a metal spear, but also a metal sword, etc. Obviously, this kind of white-scaled merman is the elite among the mermen.

The leading fishman looked at the human knight who suddenly appeared in front of him with his huge bubble eyes, blinked, and then a look of joy appeared on his face!

The other party swung the spear in his hand, shouted "Wow!", and rushed towards Ryan without any fear.

The fishmen behind it were also quite excited to see Ryan, as if they saw a woman for the first time after six months of abstinence, and they rushed over waving their weapons.

Just as Veronica was about to use the White Seagull Spirit to remind Ryan to be careful.

Ryan didn't even draw the greatsword or war hammer behind him, but rushed forward in a flash!

Ryan's figure flashed, and with a quick punch from his right hand, he knocked the leading white-scaled fishman against the wall of the cave.

"Oh!"

The white-scaled fishman, who was hit hard by the punch, instantly fell into a big shape, stuck on the hard stone wall, and looked like he was breathing out more than breathing in!

Obviously it's almost over.

Then, Ryan raised his hand and swung away the big knife that a white-scaled fishman chopped down, as if swatting away a fly. With two snaps, the two fishmen behind him followed the footsteps of the leading white-scaled fishman.

"Bang, bang!" With two loud bangs, it was embedded in the stone wall of the cave, and the surrounding area shattered like a spider web, killing him instantly!

As for the last two, they were even more miserable. Ryan snatched the spear from them and stabbed them hard, stabbing the last three white-scaled fishmen together, stringing them together and nailing them to the wall.

Although they were all hit in the heart, the fishmen's muscles and nerves were still active, and their webbed limbs were still twitching.
The white seagull spirit flying behind Ryan transmitted the scene of his battle just now to the fog mirrors in front of Veronica and the imperial soldiers, just like a live TV broadcast.

Suddenly, everyone on the front line had a dumbfounded expression!

This is too strong!

That's how it is to chop melons and vegetables.

Everyone suddenly became excited, and the whispers gradually became louder.

However, many soldiers were worried. Although Lord Ryan was very strong, he was not made of iron after all. He would eventually run out of energy. There was no telling how many enemies were still inside the cave.
After a while, more and more imperial soldiers came to watch.
The noise from the front line attracted Cornette, who was recuperating in the ward in the camp not far away.

He walked over, covering his wound that had not yet healed. Soon he saw the mirror-like thing that everyone was looking at, so he looked at it curiously.

When he saw the real-time footage, which turned out to be the scene of Lord Ryan carrying out a mission at the front, Cornette couldn't help but widen his eyes and watched intently.

Soon, he became excited!

Because he saw a strong male Blood Curse Naga appearing in front of Lord Ryan, with a circular scar about 20 centimeters in diameter on his naked chest.

Even if he kills Cornette, he will never forget this characteristic!
It was the other party who killed his brother and seriously injured him!

"Lord Ryan, be careful!" Cornette couldn't help but blurt out.

At the same time, he secretly hoped that Lord Ryan would help his brother to avenge his death.
Unfortunately, Ryan couldn't hear what Colbert said at this time.

Veronica's witchcraft has not yet had this effect.

However, for Ryan, there is not much difference between hearing and not hearing.

For him, he must kill the blood-cursed naga in front of him.

In addition, Ryan also felt the strength of the guy in front of him, who seemed to be stronger than the one he killed on the beach before.

At this moment, most of his physical strength had been consumed, so without any hesitation, facing this ancient race with extraordinary power, Ryan quickly added a point to his strength attribute.

As the remaining attribute points dropped from 14 to 13 again, Ryan's strength reached 32 points.

The most important thing is that at this moment his physical strength and condition instantly recovered to the peak!

Faced with the sudden appearance of this human, the male Blood-Cursed Naga was also stunned, but soon his face showed a ferocious look.

Just now, he received a notice that a "little mouse" had sneaked in. Unexpectedly, he was so lucky to run into this "little mouse" head on.

Now, he will be praised by Commander Genis!

He immediately ordered his pet, the ferocious sea snake, to attack Ryan quickly. At the same time, he followed closely, waving his trident and rushing towards Ryan at the same time!

Ryan's eyes were calm. Facing the blue sea snake, he struck it with a heavy hammer with his backhand!
The dark pig-head hammer was as fast as lightning, and its afterimage was still there, but in fact the hammer head had already hit the body of the blue sea snake.

"Oh!"

The blue sea snake was beaten into a folded shape, and its long tongue could not be retracted at all. The whole body of the snake was embedded directly in the rock wall, like a mural.

At this time, the Blood Curse Naga also rushed to Ryan, and became furious when he saw this scene!
Facing Ryan's heavy hammer attack, the opponent did not block at all, but stabbed Ryan's chest and abdomen with the trident.

Life for life?

No.

This was because the opponent was confident that Ryan's physical strength and power were far inferior to his, forcing Ryan to change his tactics.

It is not easy to dodge in a narrow underground cave, and it will also disrupt the rhythm of the attack.

But what surprised the Blood-Cursed Naga was that the human in front of him did not even try to defend himself when stabbed by his trident.

This immediately made him happy!

This kind of stupid human being is quite rare.

But the next second, his expression froze!
After his trident pierced through the opponent's light silver armor, the resistance increased greatly. It could only penetrate a few centimeters and could not go any further!
It's like poking an iron ingot with a trident.

How is this going?

Aren't humans supposed to be hard on the outside and soft on the inside?

How come the armor is hard, but the inside is even harder?

At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his chest!
He looked down and saw that the human's black hammer had pierced into his body and broke several of his ribs.

This made his face change drastically and he was extremely shocked!

How could the other person's small body have such strong power?
"clang!"

"Clang!"

After fighting for more than ten consecutive rounds, the male Blood Curse Naga could no longer resist Ryan, whose strength had recovered to the peak, and he continued to use his intermediate secret technique - Shock Wave!

As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain collapsing!
"Oh!"

Finally, the opponent was knocked down by Ryan's hammer!
And Ryan also received another gold skill point increase.

Watching Ryan defeat the powerful enemy, Veronica showed joy on her face and let out a long breath, but the next second, her expression changed slightly.

It turned out that the first-level witchcraft consumed too much mental energy, and the White Seagull's spirit was about to dissipate.

"Ryan, my witching hour is coming soon"

Suddenly, the spirit of the white seagull dissipated in mid-air.

Although Veronica didn't say the whole thing, Ryan already understood what she meant.

"Pfft!"

At this moment, the half-dead, ferocious sea snake finally fell off the embedded stone wall.

He looked at the blue sea snake that was not dead yet, and then looked down at the three small holes in his body that had just been poked by the Blood Curse Naga. After a moment of thought, Ryan walked over, put his hand on the other party, and started using the core skill of the Beast Priest - Beast Vitality!
As Ryan absorbed the vitality, the already seriously injured blue sea snake became even more listless, and its big eyes could hardly open.

A warm current, far more powerful than the timberwolves and grizzly bears used in previous tests, surged from the snake's body toward Ryan's.

The three wounds on his body, neither shallow nor deep, caused by the Blood Curse Naga healed in just a few seconds.

"Not bad!"

"It seems that if the target is a ferocious beast, the effect will be particularly good!"

Since Veronica's witchcraft had dissipated, this process was naturally not seen by the people behind.

After recovering from his injuries, Ryan continued to move forward.

The cave was much deeper than Ryan had imagined.

So far, he has moved forward about six or seven hundred meters, turning right once and moving forward two hundred meters.

However, at this moment, the sensor stone in his hand was already very bright, and there was not much difference even compared with the huge fluorescent pearls on the wall.

Obviously, Alyosha should be within sight.

At this moment, Ryan suddenly stopped because there was a fork in the road right in front of him.

One is his current direction, going straight.

The other one is to turn right.

Ryan seemed to be thinking about something. He placed the sensing stone in front of his eyes and moved slightly in both directions.

Soon, he determined that he needed to turn right.

However, just as he turned to walk towards the right passage, he heard the sound of weapons clashing from the direction he was heading!

And the screams of human beings!

This made Ryan's expression change slightly. There was someone else in the cave?
