At a banquet in Siren's court, Dick once heard from sister Siren that there are many unknown dangers hidden in the sea outside the city's protective barrier.

Not only are there ferocious beasts there, but the weather in the deep sea is also unpredictable.

But at this moment, how could he easily let the murderer go?

Dick imitated the fish-man guard and placed his palm on the barrier. When he applied pressure, the barrier flowed like liquid crystal, and the originally transparent Protection layer glowed with luster and created a water-like texture.

He tentatively squeezed forward, and actually squeezed out.

And this barrier did not allow the sea water from outside to flow in the moment he entered and exited.

The seawater outside the village covered the whole body like thick ink, and the luminous microorganisms disappeared thirty meters away, revealing a biting coldness.

Dick's body underwent subtle changes after entering the sea water.

Fins sprouted from his bare forearms, an itch came from the end of his tailbone, and scaly skin spread along his hip bones toward his knees.

This change allows him to move more freely in the sea water, which is obviously the talent of "Fishman Body" at work.

In an instant, Dick was like a swordfish equipped with propellers, rushing towards the fishman guard swinging its snake tail in front of him.

The fishman guard didn't expect that this human would dare to chase him out. He swung his snake tail violently, and his speed suddenly increased, but he couldn't get rid of Dick behind him.

Not long after, the two of them entered the darker tide ahead.

In the thick darkness, Dick lost track of the fishman guards.

The sharp senses of the witcher were unable to penetrate the darkness at this time. The surrounding waves were turbulent, and the smell left by the fishman guards also dissipated.

Dick continued to swim forward based on his feeling. At this time, two elves that looked like flowers floated forward, one to the left and one to the right, about 5 meters apart.

The luminous body maintains a precise resonance frequency, like a puppet controlled by invisible threads.

Blue on the left and red on the right, with a faint light emitting from the whole body, it is flapping its transparent wings and dancing.

But Dick felt something was fishy. No matter how graceful the dance was or how difficult the movements were, the two elves always maintained a fixed distance.

When the flower elf approached, in the dim light, Dick found the fishman guard hiding behind a floating sea fish bone.

But in the blink of an eye, the trident in the fishman guard's hand fell in a panic, causing a blister.

Immediately afterwards, a huge "cave" full of jagged and strange rocks appeared below the flower elf.

No, that's not a cave, that's a bloody mouth.

With a muffled sound, the fishman guard's body was torn apart instantly, blue blood spilled out, and he was swallowed by the dark ocean.

At this time, Dick was shocked to realize that the two looking flower elves were just the tentacles on the face of Monster in front of him.

Under the light of the tentacles, the huge outline of Monster gradually appeared.

It looks like a giant toad, with tentacles extending forward from below its nose, like a fish bait in a fisherman's hand.

The eyes are wide open and each eye can reach 90 centimeters in diameter.

Witcher Senses of Dick issued a strong warning. The giant toad in front of him was bigger than the Tide Giant he encountered in Sea God's Trial.

It seems that it is wise to retreat temporarily at this time. After all, this is the deep sea, not the home field of humans, and besides, he has not yet fully adapted to the abilities given by Fishman Body.

He swung his legs to retreat, and the giant toad's gills bulged and contracted slightly. With a "croak" sound, his legs suddenly stepped on the deep sea, forming a platform made of deep sea water under his feet.

When the platform shattered, it rushed in front of Dick like an arrow from a string, trying to crush him to death with its huge body.

Dick quickly formed a seal with both feet, and in an instant, Mind Shockwave rushed out from the soles of his feet like a raging wave.

The force knocked off his moccasin boots, which fell into the sea and disappeared.

However, his body speed doubled in an instant, and he quickly retreated backwards to avoid the Monster attack.

Monster stopped in the sea, opened a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and a scarlet and long tongue with half a green scale hanging on its surface. It was the tail fin of the chasing murloc, and at this time, the giant tongue sprang out of the "cave" like a snake.

Dick turned around and moved around to avoid the tongue coating whipping.

But the tongue continued to twist and snake in the sea water, and continued to wrap around him.

Dick threw the dagger without hesitation, without having time to see the result, he quickly pulled out Dawn Sword from his waist, held the sword in both hands and struck out Sword Qi with all his strength.

A fierce arc of light flashed across the dark sea, and the sword struck Monster's tongue, erupting with dazzling sparks.

Dick uses the reaction force to move backwards like an arrow leaving the string.

Monster failed to succeed after several attacks. The two tentacles on its head drew arcs to the left and right sides, raising waves of water and approaching Dick.

Dazzling electric light erupted from the tentacles, and powerful currents intertwined and converged in the seawater, covering Dick like a fishing net.

At this moment, the toad Monster's body and two tentacles formed a triangle formation, trapping Dick in the center.

Dick slowly closed his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, his eyes were emitting frightening blood-red light like Lava in the dark deep sea. The smile from the corner of his mouth spread to the roots of his ears, revealing two rows of sharp fangs that were more terrifying than a giant toad - Blood of Madness was turned on.

The moment the power grid was about to touch his body, Dick swung Dawn Sword forward violently, and a Sword Qi tornado was generated at the end of the sword, enveloping the water and spreading forward.

Sword Qi The tornado collided with the power grid, and the sea water became more sloshing and turbid. When the two tornadoes collided, they were extinguished at the same time.

Under the light of the tentacles, a White Heat quickly approached. After Dick swung his sword horizontally, a "flower elf" on the Monster tentacles was cut off along with its red beard.

The "Flower Elf" wailed, and its whole body quickly withered, falling into the deep sea and disappearing.

The severe pain on the tentacles made the giant toad let out a dull cry of pain.

Its bulging sound sac vibrated out infrasound waves, and the undercurrent within a hundred meters radius suddenly began to surge in the opposite direction.

During the retreat, scarlet eyes stared at Dick.

The light of the toad's other tentacle gradually weakened, and it slowly closed its scarlet eyes, and its figure disappeared into the dark depths of the sea.

Dick Close your eyes, calm down the killing impulse in your heart, and close Blood of Madness.

After opening Blood of Madness, he realized that it was quite difficult to kill Monster.

If Monster fights head-on, he can still maneuver around with his speed;

If Monster insists on retreating, the deep sea is not the true home ground of mankind after all.

It seems the thread has been interrupted.

We can only go back and ask the seriously injured fishman guard for clues.

Originally, I wanted to take him back to the capital and ask sister Siren about the situation, but now sister Siren has left the palace and is not in the capital.

Moreover, not only did he have no friendship with the murloc leader Sparta, he was even hostile to him.

In this case, I can only ask the high priest Medusa for advice, and I just hope that she has finished handling the matter at hand.

Thinking of this, Dick immediately turned around and rushed towards the small village Cape.

As he approached the village, something was wrong with him, so he hurriedly climbed in close to the film as he had done before.

The sight in front of him shocked him. The burning coral community made a popping sound, all the houses were on fire, and the corpses of villagers were lying in various places.

Dick screamed inwardly and ran towards the hiding place of the little brother, but in the coral group, the seriously injured fishman guard had disappeared, and the little brother was nowhere to be seen.

He suddenly realized something and immediately turned back to the village square.

The situation in the square was exactly as he expected. Under the huge portal, the instrument parts were destroyed and scattered on the ground.

Dick stood there and pondered:

It seems that the siblings were not killed. There must be a secret hidden in them, and they might have been taken away by the murderer's accomplices.

In order to silence the murderer, the murderer killed all the fishmen in the village and destroyed the portal.

Is it because he doesn't want to go back to the capital to report on the situation?

It seems that we really can only swim back?

Although with Fishman Body I am not afraid of sea water, but...

"Ahem!"

He looked back and saw that the landlord was huddled in the far corner.

There were a lot of deaths just now, and Dick was so worried about the safety of his little brother and sister that he didn't look around carefully.

There was blue blood dripping from the corner of the fishman landlord's mouth, and every time he coughed violently, some blood foam would come out of his abdomen.

He weakly stretched out his hand toward Dick.

Dick hurriedly walked up to him and saw the fatal wound that penetrated his abdomen, knowing that this fish man had no chance of saving his life.

The fish-man landlord made a "ho-ho" sound from his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Dick hurriedly squatted down and put his ear close to his mouth.

"Guoguo... control the giant creatures on the seabed... the murloc guards..." After saying this weakly, the murloc landlord lost his breath.
