The Mother of the Sea's attack landed on the open space next to Alice, and the dust stirred up by the attack smeared on Alice's face.
She coughed several times and almost interrupted her singing because of this.Fortunately, the magic shields floating on both sides of her body still exist, and she will not be hit head-on by attacks for some time to come.
While Alice continued to chant the excessively long magic incantation, the two main attackers, Vician and Caschia, did not rest.They need to face several Kuo-Tao fishmen present, as well as another team of reinforcements rushing here.
The feeling of the dagger piercing the flesh of the fish was extremely bad. Visian used both hands to force the stuck dagger out of the fish-man's body.As soon as he pulled out the dagger, he showed a look of disgust. The black blade was covered with a layer of green liquid, and the liquid slowly flowed down the edge.
After shaking it hard several times, the liquid was not completely separated from the dagger. Visian sighed with a headache, and then tried hard to ignore the fact that his precious dagger was contaminated.
On the other side, Caschia was also dealing with the enemy. His spear was caught by the enemy's shield, and the mucus on the shield almost made him lose his weapon.
[Viscous Shield], this is one of the inherent abilities of the Kuo-Toa. The shields on their hands have a layer of mucus that can be used to capture enemy weapons, which is similar to the composition of the mucus on their bodies.Once they capture the enemy's weapon, they will immediately launch a grapple attack. Those who cannot let go of the weapon or are unwilling to give up the weapon will withstand the attack firmly, and then they will face the enemy. The sharp teeth of the Taoyu people.
When Alice was on the deck, she had seen the teeth in the fish-man's mouth. Their teeth were very sharp, and they could often tear off a large piece of meat after biting the prey.
Their bite force is often closer to that of crocodiles than to fish.
The attack power of the Kuo Tao fishmen is not high, not to mention that they are facing two "old people" who have experienced hundreds of battles and a group of female siren warriors who are overwhelmed by anger.
In just two or three minutes, four or five fishmen had fallen.However, the number of murlocs did not decrease, but increased a lot. Visian looked at the hole on the other side of the cave, and then saw more murlocs spouting out of the hole.
The number of enemies tripled in an instant. The Kuo-Tao fishmen now had the numerical advantage, and the pressure on Visian and the others suddenly increased.
But they are not the only ones who are under pressure. Alice is also currently under pressure.She only had the last third of the spell left to sing, but the Sea Mother didn't seem to want her magic to be cast smoothly.
The clanging sound and the inhuman roar hit Alice's eardrums, and she felt fear reflexively.For ordinary people, being enemies with gods is just a story left in fragments of poems and paintings. They may be able to appreciate the power of gods from between the lines, and empathize with the protagonists.But after all, the story is only a carrier composed of words. The trembling that can only be experienced when you truly confront God cannot be conveyed in words.
His calves were twitching uncontrollably, and his heart was beating wildly in his chest, as if it was about to jump out.Alice held back her breath and allowed the Mother of the Sea to knock right above her with her large pliers.
The shield couldn't last much longer, Alice knew this, she could feel that with every knock, the magic contained in the shield would be broken away.The little glimmer of light stood out in her eyes, like an hourglass. When all the "sand" in the "hourglass" drained away, that was when Alice's death knell tolled.
After reciting the last few words, Elika recited the entire spell at the right moment. As her words fell, the raging magic lingered around her.
Vician, who was a certain distance away from her, noticed this unexpected situation. He bent down to avoid the spear coming from the opposite side, and then Caschia gestured to the other person and others to stay away from the scene.As for the reason why he did this, you can understand it by looking at the gradually forming vortex surrounding Alice.
The huge vortex spread rapidly in all directions with Alice as the center. Alice stood in the center of the vortex, trying to control this power.She is not an orthodox elemental sorcerer, so any magic related to elements will be a little difficult for her to control.For example, right now, she couldn't put her hand down easily. After all, once she put it down, the vortex would turn back into shapeless magic power, and then explosions of various sizes would occur around it.
This is an effect called "Magic Collapse". Although some magicians will deliberately create this effect to become the main means of attack, but now... Alice still feels that it is better to be honest and not think about causing trouble.
In the blink of an eye, the whirlpool covered the entire cave within its attack range, and all objects visible to the naked eye were swept up into the air, rolling along with the sea water.
The same goes for those Kuo-Tao fishmen who didn't have time to find their hiding place. On one side of the whirlpool, Alice could occasionally find fish-men in twos and threes crossing her line of sight.At the same time, she also keenly noticed that the fish-man dressed as a shaman seemed to be casting a spell.
"Is it possible to cast spells in this situation!?" Alice was horrified. Let's not talk about other people, just herself.Anyway, she didn't have the confidence to calm down and chant the spell after being swept up in the maelstrom.
However, she could not interrupt her spellcasting with the fish-men now. She could only pray that the Mother of the Sea would disappear earlier or be torn apart by her whirlpool.
Suddenly there was a gap on one side of the whirlpool, and the high priest Kuo Tao jumped out of it.It stood on the altar, shook itself, and then raised the wooden staff in its hand.The head of the staff emitted a dim light in its hand, and a moment later, a layer of the same light appeared on the other fishmen who were sucked into the vortex.
Probably some kind of shield?
Alice was a little unwilling, and she decisively cut off the magic power supplying the whirlpool. This was not because she was giving up on herself, but because the whirlpool no longer had any effect.
The kuo-toa were no longer bound by the whirlpool. They fell onto the altar and stood with their god.Small explosions went off one after another. Alice protected her face to prevent accidental injuries, and between the two arms, she vaguely saw the Mother of the Sea protecting her followers with pliers...
—TBC—
Chapter 194 The battle in the underwater cave
Without trying to deal with the High Priest of Kuo Tao first, it is almost impossible to defeat the numerous Kuo Tao fishmen and the Mother of the Sea.
For the first time, Alice realized how annoying the existence of "magicians" is in battle. They can not only attack, but also add various buffs to their companions.
It is difficult to deal with alone, and when it is protected by its companions, it becomes even more difficult to deal with.
The High Priest Kuo Tao stood beside the Mother of the Sea. Any melee attack that wanted to hit it would definitely receive a heavy blow from the Mother of the Sea.As long as it is within the protection of the Mother of the Sea, no one can do anything to it even for a second.
Unless you are also a magician and know space magic.
However, space-based magic often has distance limitations. Alice must take a few more steps forward and then stay within an accurate range, so that her [gravity] can pull the high priest out.
This was difficult to do. Alice dodged left and right, desperately trying to get closer to the high priest.However, she was blocked along the way, but as she continued to squeeze in, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
An arm came from behind her, and within three seconds, Alice was lifted up by the owner of that arm.
She looked behind her in surprise and confusion. When she turned her head, she saw Valkyrie's face, which was slightly twisted with anger.Valkyrie's whole body was tense, with several veins bulging on her forehead and arms. She squeezed Alice's collar tightly, and then...
Just throw Alice out.
"Hey!? Hey hey!!!!" Alice suddenly felt her vision blur, and then in less than half a minute, she completed the perfect movement from her original position to the feet of the Mother of the Sea.The executor of this displacement is Valkyrie, the leader of the Kraken Vanguard.
Her sister Valyali also didn't expect her sister to do such a thing. The bandaging movement in her hand froze in mid-air, and the seaweed she used as a bandage was broken into two pieces.
The other sea monsters also took the time to take a look. They witnessed Alice getting up from the ground on all fours, and then scurrying around under the claws of the Sea Mother.
Alice wanted to die now. When she landed, she faced down and her nose hit the hard stone bottom hard.She felt a stream of heat flow out of her nose. After staring down at the floor for a while, she realized that she had a nosebleed.
Nose bleeds!
Alice covered her nose with one hand and held herself up with the other.As soon as she stood up from the ground, a strong wind passed by her side. The Mother of the Sea noticed her presence and began to attack.
"It's important to escape first! Ah! No, I should get out that abominable fish-head priest first!" Alice thought like this. She first turned back and ran back, but after a moment, she turned back to face the high priest again. Rush in the direction.
Now that we have arrived here, is there any reason to retreat?Although Alice didn't quite understand why Valkyrie threw her over, she was still a little grateful for the other party's unintentional move.
"Come here!" Alice waved her staff, and the tip of her staff was pointed directly at High Priest Kuo Tao.The high priest instantly felt that his body became light and airy. It floated up to a certain level and then stopped there.Immediately afterwards, there was an invisible force pushing it towards the crowd. It could not resist. It could only draw a beautiful parabola in the air like Alice just now, and then landed accurately among the crowd.
"High Priest Kuo Tao doesn't know how to use [Dispelling Technique], I want to write this down." Alice exhaled a breath, although her breath was blocked by magic within the invisible bubbles and was breathed into her body again.
There are still 32 minutes before the magic used for diving expires. It may be difficult to deal with the Mother of the Sea in this time, but Alice and the others have no way out, so they can only bite the bullet.
Almost all the time, Alice and her party were used to deal with the fish-men.They discovered the subtle connection between the fish people and the Mother of the Sea. The appearance of the Mother of the Sea is due to faith. As long as the Kuo Tao fish people are still alive, the Mother of the Sea will not disappear.
In this way, it will be clear what needs to be done. Although I can't defeat the Mother of the Sea, I can hide!
The damage caused by the Sea Mother's attacks is almost all area-type. When her two lobster claws are swung, there is a great chance that everything around them will be involved, including: floating objects, decorations, seaweed and The kuo-toa who are its followers.
If we look at the direction of Mother of the Sea's attack = indiscriminate attack, the current situation is actually beneficial to Alice and the others.
Deliberately draw the attack to the fishman's side, then wait for the attack to involve it, and finally wait for the victory of the battle.This is what Alice and her team envisioned, and judging from the results, this method is indeed feasible.
As the number of Kuo-Toa people decreased, Alice and the others gradually had the opportunity to attack the Mother of the Sea.The frequency of Sea Mother's attacks is decreasing, and the speed of her claws is also weakening.
It seemed that it was time to attack the goddess of the sea. At this time, there was no need to hold back. Everyone rushed towards the mother of the sea.Using all his strength, he smashed his attack on it, flames and water blades flew together, and melodious war songs echoed in their ears. Not only did everyone not feel tired, but they also had the illusion of blood boiling.
The final blow was delivered by Caschia. He pierced the eyes of the Mother of the Sea with the spear in his hand. Dark brown liquid sprayed out from its wound, and the warm liquid slowly drained the surrounding seawater. dyed the same color.
The huge body collapsed. Starting from the head, the body of the Mother of the Sea turned into magic power and dissipated little by little.The surviving murlocs and those with a few breaths left fell to their knees one after another, with tears streaming from their eyes, and they approached the Mother of the Sea as if they were possessed.
Alice couldn't bear to look at it. She felt that these kuo-toa people were cruel and pitiful. They looked like prisoners who wanted to be ruthlessly broken.
The wailing sounds were endless. Alice covered her ears and followed the people in front of her to search for anything that could bring clues.
The sirens found their sisters' relics from the scattered severed limbs. Those shiny coral decorations had been soaked in the wreckage for too long, so they smelled of a strong fishy smell.
But the sirens didn't care. They carefully held the relic in their hands and silently wiped away the remaining stains.
Alice watched for a while, then turned around and began to help her companions rummage through the fishman's private belongings.
—TBC—
Chapter 195 The ownerless notebook
Ignoring the group of kuo-toa who were immersed in grief for the moment, Alice and her party split into two groups with the sea monsters and began to "scoop" the remaining items in the cave.
It's not that this group of people are cold-blooded, but that they really can't find any reason to forgive their enemies, no matter whether they still have the desire to fight now, just for the things they have committed...
They can't forgive easily.
Siren has found many relics of his compatriots, and Alice has also found some things.
The item she is holding now is one of them, which she accidentally discovered when she received the [Poseidon Blessing] released from Visian.At that time, it was hidden in an overturned box. The box seemed to have been damaged by the whirlpool and was in an open state. A very thin red ribbon floated out of the box.
Alice gently pulled the ribbon and took out another item connected to it.
It was a notepad that had been soaked in sea water for an unknown amount of time. The brown cover was only as big as a palm, but very thick.Alice took advantage of Vician's opportunity to cast a spell on Caschia and took the lead in opening the notepad and reading it.
The first few pages of the notepad were in an unreadable state. Several pages were stuck together, and there were even a few tattered pieces of seaweed stuck to them.After finally separating them and cleaning up all the debris, the words originally written on the pages were exposed to Alice's sight.
This is what is written on the notepad:
【Autumn Season August 21st
We successfully arrived at the Black Sea area between Elanie and Xios. I once heard people nearby talking about an isolated island in that area that "no one can escape from."
When they tell this story, they often add fuel to the fire and tell stories that don't exist at all.And I know, and only I know, that there is not an inescapable place, and there are even a huge number of treasures buried near that isolated island...
As long as I can...]
Alice felt excited from the bottom of her heart after seeing these words. She couldn't wait to read the follow-up, but when she turned to another page, her heart dropped.The writing on the next few pages was blurred, with large blue ink stains covering the entire page. Not only that, it looked like this for the next five or six pages.It was only when Alice patiently turned to the tenth page that clearly identifiable content continued to appear on the page.
This time, it reads like this:
【I found it!Sure enough, it was exactly where I had guessed.
But I still couldn't go in. These two stone doors blocked my way. To open these two stone doors, I had to find the corresponding keys.
But this key should be very easy to identify, right?After all, it looks so strange. 】
The text stops here, and on the back of this page, there is a simple manuscript.The manuscript depicts a strange key. The head of the key is a woman holding a harp. The notes and staff make up the lower half of the key.
"Indeed, this one is very strange, and it doesn't have those small raised parts. How on earth can it be used to open the lock?" Alice moved her fingertips along the outline of the manuscript. She found that if the manuscript was one to one If drawn to scale, the key would be over 20 centimeters.
It can be said to be a huge key.
"Is it so big?" Alice gestured twice, with a look of surprise on her face.While she was sighing at the size of the key, Vician and Caschia discovered something extraordinary.
There is a stone hidden in the corner of the cave. There is a metal object stuck on the stone. It is not thick, just about the thickness of a finger.
Wei Xi'an stepped forward and pulled it out hard, but did not pull out the thing.Then he didn't give up, nor did he go to Caschia for help. Instead, he went to confront Caschia on his own.He drove Shui Yuanling to lift the stone high and then smash it to the ground.The stone collided with the ground and made a huge noise, attracting the attention of everyone present.
However, those who looked towards Visian still did not include the Kuo-Tao fishmen, who were still regretting the disappearance of the Sea Mother.
Hearing the noise, the sirens and Alice swam to Vician's side, and Caschia also rushed back from the other end of the cave.Everyone watched as Vician rummaged through the rubble for a while. When he picked up a metal product, there was immediately one more person making the noise.
"Ah! This isn't...!" Alice opened the notepad in her hand, quickly found the page with the key manuscript and showed it to everyone.
She motioned to Wei Xi'an to bring over what she found and compare it. After careful comparison, they were delighted to find that what they saw in front of them was the key to the treasure door mentioned in the notepad.
"Oh? We seem to be pretty lucky." Wei Xi'an said playfully, and he weighed the key in his hand. This key was very light, so light that it made people wonder if it was hollow inside.
But he didn't say this yet. Anyway, it was a key. It didn't matter if it was light or not, as long as it could open the keyhole, it was enough.
After putting the key away properly, Alice wanted to stay where she was and continue to look through the notepad, but Caschia stopped her and said to her: "It's not too late to go back to the ship and look at it. Besides, those fish people are still there." Stay alive, maybe they will attack again when they regain their consciousness.”
