A minute passed by, and the lake in front of me became darker and darker, as thick as ink that could not be melted.
Dick Looking at the darkness swallowing the light, the soles of his boots suddenly sank into the mud - only then did he realize that he had stepped on the slope of the lake bottom.
He hesitated in his heart and stopped unconsciously, wondering whether to go deeper.
If you still haven't encountered an enemy, then the effective time of Killer Whale potion will be wasted.
"Hoo!"
The shrill wails tore through the dead silence, and dozens of pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the undercurrent.
He tensed up his nerves suddenly, and the muscles all over his body tensed instantly, "It finally appeared."
Dick pulled out the two swords behind his back, preparing for a close-quarters fight, but those Drowner suddenly stopped in the water.
Then their actions surprised Dick - these Drowner actually drew short crossbows from their waists!
Dick squinted his eyes and carefully identified:
Yes, that is indeed a short crossbow.
The low-IQ Drowner can actually use weapons, which is beyond his knowledge.
In an instant, the Drowners raised their short crossbows and aimed at Dick. The crossbow strings were pulled tightly and made a "buzzing" sound.
The strange thing is that there are no crossbow arrows on the short crossbows originally, but at the moment they launch their attack, awl-shaped points that resemble crossbow arrows quickly condense on the crossbow strings.
These pointed bodies, carrying the sound of howling wind, hit Dick like raindrops from all directions.
Dick flicked his wrist, his swords clanked, and the cold light surged.
He quickly danced his swords with both hands, and with the blessing of Master-Level Swordsmanship, a sparkling white water curtain danced around him, making it airtight.
"Pah, pah, pah", the water arrow hit the water curtain and was instantly smashed into pieces, turning into countless tiny water droplets.
However, just ten seconds later, Dick noticed something was wrong.
This group of Drowner crossbow bolts seemed to be endless. They did not fight in close combat, they just stood there and kept shooting, trying to consume his physical strength in this way.
"These brainless melee fighters have turned into despicable long-range archers." Dick cursed secretly in his heart and quickly changed his strategy.
He kicked his legs violently, like an arrow from the string, and rushed towards several Drowner.
In the process, he rotated the blade of the sword, resisting the water arrows that kept coming, and moved forward quickly.
Suddenly, a deafening howl came from further away in the lake. The Drowners seemed to have heard some kind of order and began to retreat quickly, trying to distance themselves from Di K'Juda. At the same time, the water crossbows in their hands continued to fire.
Dick simply put the swords back into their scabbards and swam forward with all his strength.
His short crossbow had been reduced to ashes in the process of rescuing Xiya. At this time, except for Signs, he did not have any long-range attack methods.
And that deafening howl made Dick give up the idea of using Signs at this time.
After all, there is still an interval between the use of Signs.
To deal with these Drowner, it is not necessary yet.
With his current strong physical fitness, even if Blood of Madness is not turned on, he can swim extremely fast, like a flexible fish, and quickly catches up with Drowners.
When he got close, Dick drew his two swords. He knew that giving up defense completely meant suffering damage, but in order to shorten the distance as quickly as possible, he had no choice.
Sure enough, he was soon hit by a water arrow, and his blood spread in the water.
But after a few breaths, he finally came to Drowner.
A killing feast begins!
In an instant, the two swords in his hands danced with cold light, like Death's sickles, harvesting Drowner's lives.
Clusters of larger blood-red flowers bloomed at the bottom of the lake, and the Drowner bodies slowly floated up and disappeared into the dim lake water.
In just half a minute, Dick slaughtered all the dozens of Drowner around it.
And with the blessing of super Self-Healing Ability, the wounds on his body healed quickly and recovered as before.
Dick wanted to grab a short crossbow as a trophy, but after Drowner was chopped into pieces, the short crossbow also turned into water and disappeared.
This should be some kind of magical creation.
"We have to hurry up." Dick thought to himself, feeling the little oxygen left in his lungs.
He retracted a long sword, put it back into the scabbard on his back, and continued to swim quickly in the direction where the cry had just come from deep in the lake bottom.
Dozens of breaths later, the blue-gray rock in front shone coldly in the darkness, and two groups of scarlet rays of light suddenly lit up on the surface of the "boulder". Three rows of barbed-like sharp teeth were revealed in the huge cracked mouth.
This is an ambush Elder Drowner!
Elder Drowner is a more intelligent and advanced monster than the ordinary Drowner and Greater Drowner.
"It turns out you are commanding these Drowner." Dick thought to himself, and rushed over with a sharp blade in hand without hesitation.
This Elder Drowner looks like the ordinary Drowner, but its body is taller and thicker, with bulging muscles and full of power.
It stretched out its sharp claws and pushed slightly in the direction of Dick. The surrounding lake water rippled instantly, and the water flow became slow and viscous.
Dick The undercurrent suddenly became as thick as glue, and the veins on the right arm of the sword swung out, but it was as slow as swinging the sword in honey.
If it were on the ground, this slowing technique might not cause much hindrance to Dick, but in the water, humans are not the overlord after all.
Seeing Dick slow down, Elder Drowner raised a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth. He put the five fingers of his other hand together and pointed at Dick in a circular shape. Water flowed around his fingertips, which instantly turned into five rotating water spikes and sprayed towards Dick.
Dick felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, instinctively sensing danger.
He glanced back from the corner of his eye and was shocked. It turned out that there was another Elder Drowner lying in wait behind him, and it also made an attack move.
No wonder he felt such a strong sense of stagnation around him. It turned out that two Elder Drowner were working together to cast spells.
In this case... the trump card must be used in advance.
Dick Take a deep breath and slowly close your eyes.
The world around me seemed to be at a standstill at this moment, with only the sound of water flowing echoing in my ears.
The moment the two water nails on Elder Drowner's fingertips were about to penetrate his body, Dick opened his eyes suddenly.
At this time, his pupils had turned blood red and were filled with thick blood red mist. The mist like ribbons in the corners of his eyes continued to float outwards and spread, a ferocious smile appeared on his face, and crazy laughter came from his body.
Blood of Madness, turned on!
The viscous water that imprisoned him suddenly exploded into a cyclone, and the two swords dragged scarlet trails and slashed across him.
The first caster stood frozen on the spot, with an X-shaped blood line slowly appearing on his abdomen.
When it split into four pieces, Dick had already stepped on the splattered internal organs and rushed to the second body.
The fleeing Elder Drowner suddenly found himself looking up - its head was spinning and sinking, and its vision finally settled on the boiling blood waves in front of its opponent.
