The words were divided into two parts, and Isengard's side was actually quite calm.

Isengard, who was prompted by Ian and decisively went to find reinforcements, did not think that Ian simply wanted him to leave so that he could exchange some secret information with Patrick.

After he returned to the team, he immediately discussed with Master Gesai how to deal with his uncle.

A second-level powerhouse, even if he can't use the breeding equipment, is still a threat to everyone-but this team really has to stop it, and it is not impossible to stop it, so there is no need to panic too much.

After all, even if Master Gesai's strength is declining now, he still has some backup methods. In addition, the team has alchemy artillery, so it is not a problem to guard the narrow area.

On the contrary, the pirates had to deal with their former boss after fighting the worms and apes. It was a bit of a daily change... But they were also used to the situation where the boss repudiated or wanted to get rid of their black gloves. Not bad.

After that, the two gathered the team and sent scouts to observe the situation ahead.

Isengard did not choose to stay in the mural passage, but chose a narrow fork road that was easy to defend and difficult to attack to set up positions and alchemy artillery, preparing to deal with his uncle's next attack.

Compared to Isengarde's apprehension, Master Gosser has full confidence in Ian. He really doesn't think Ian can defeat Patrick, but he also doesn't think Patrick can do anything to Ian. The fight between the two sides will definitely It lasted for a while, and Ian wanted to leave, and Patrick would definitely not be able to keep it.

As someone of the older generation who had seen the battle of the first knight, Master Gosser had such confidence in Hilliard's disciple.

However, the information sent back by the scouts made the people who were waiting in line quite at a loss.

They did see traces of the battle, but they also found traces of a huge monster passing by in the sacrificial ground... The two people who were fighting before seemed to be taken away by the huge monster.

Maybe it's not taking it away, but changing the battlefield on its own initiative.

In any case, they lost the opportunity to track Ian and Patrick.

In order to guard against the possible impact of huge monsters, Isengard had to lead the whole team to a cave with two entrances, one large and one small, to recuperate.

The rock formation of this cave is very hard, and there is an underground lake in the center, which looks wide, but is actually very shallow. If the giant monster wants to enter and attack here from the big cave, it will be severely restrained, and a group of people You can evacuate from the small hole.

But after waiting for a long time, they didn't wait for any possible attack.

There are quite a few pure white eyeless blind fish in the underground lake, the texture is quite hard, and when you grab it, there is a small layer of enamel calcium armor on the body surface, like a fish-shaped jade pendant.

After being identified by Master Goser, he determined that this blind blind fish should have a close kinship relationship with the more common "Stone Armored Fish" in the South China Sea, while the enamel scales on its surface are very similar to the Iron-Bone Swordfish. resemblance.

Because everyone was already starving, they immediately lit a fire after confirming that the blind fish were not poisonous. The number of blind fish was much more than expected, and it was more than enough to feed the entire team.

After peeling off the rock shell, the meat of the blind fish is very firm. After being roasted, it has a springy texture. Although it has no taste, it has a very obvious aftertaste after chewing for a long time.

Everyone had a full meal, only Isengard was still not used to eating this kind of 'real food', so he still took a bottle of stamina potion.

"Without Ian, it would have been difficult for us to find our way to the outside world."

On one side of the temporary camp, the blond boy was talking to his teacher, and his expression was a little urgent: "And no matter how strong Ian is, he can't really defeat Uncle—we have to find him as soon as possible, and we can work together." There is a chance to defeat uncle!"

His speculation is not wrong, even Ian himself will not deny that Patrick is indeed not an opponent that can be easily defeated.

"I'm still in a hurry, Ethan."

Master Goser stroked his beard, and he pondered: "Ian obviously has a purpose in coming to this ruins, and he doesn't want us to know about this purpose...or, in other words, he doesn't want us who are 'out of his control' People know."

"Son, I know you are worried about Ian's safety, but have you ever thought that it would be more dangerous for him to take care of the safety of such a large group of people when he is with us?"

Raising his head, the old man patted the ignorant boy's head. He smiled and said, "According to my guess... Ian can find us at any time if he wants to, but not otherwise."

"He is such a person who likes to take the initiative in his own hands. If you really want to help the other party, you don't need to find any excuses that are good for the team, just keep yourself safe."

Master Goser's confidence in Ian comes from Hilliard.

He believes that Hilliard must know the situation of the South China Sea ruins group, so he also believes that Ian knows, which can also explain why Ian can choose the right path along the way.

That's definitely not just luck... It should be the information left by the late emperor and the first knight.

And the other party's purpose that they don't want them to know may be the mission inherited from Ian.

Of course, that wasn't the case, but the results were surprisingly apt.

At this moment, there was a commotion from the surrounding teams.

"Wait, everyone get up! Look at these fish!"

When the prospectors and pirates heard the warning from the front guards, they all finished their repairs and nervously looked in the direction of the warning, but they saw an incredible scene.

In the underground lake where there were a large number of white blind fishes, a group of uninvited guests suddenly appeared, densely packed black strange fishes rushed along the river, and their momentum was so great that it was like an army.

This strange fish has a long bulge on the top of its head, which seems to be a metal spear. Facing the intruders, the white blind fish immediately formed an formation to hedge against the group of black strange fish.

Don't look at the fact that these white blind fish did not cause any disturbance when they were caught before. After all, both prospectors and pirates are veterans who live in the sea all year round. They have caught fish several times more ferocious than them, so they are naturally fearless.

But if they were facing other people of the same kind, these white blind fish were unexpectedly strong. When forming a fish formation, the enamel carapace of the fish school even lit up dots of white fluorescent light, making their scales harder.

The black horned fish didn't give in too much. After they formed a fish formation, the metal horns above their heads also shone with a halo of source quality.

For a moment, the black and white fish formations glowed with fluorescence at the same time, making the small underground lake in the gloomy cave seem to turn into a bright galaxy, with countless stars circulating.

And in this breath-taking scene, the two schools of fish fought like no one else.

Everyone, including Isengard and Master Gosse, held their breath, watching this unimaginable scene—two schools of fish that can form formations and allow groups to temporarily use the source quality in their bodies collide with each other, sometimes The black horned fish penetrated the scales of the white blind fish, and sometimes it was the white blind fish that crushed the scales of the black horned fish.

Blood overflowed the lake, and the pale yellow fish blood filled the originally clear underground lake, exuding a strong smell of iron.

But at this moment, sharp-eyed people discovered that the school of fish fighting was changing.

In the school of fish, after eating the flesh of the opponent, some of the strong big fish's bodies gradually turned gray and white with black and white intersecting, and the original carapaces also began to fall off gradually, exposing the strange flesh and blood with dots of fluorescent light at the bottom.

This kind of big fish is protected at the very center by the fish array, and when they finish their metamorphosis, the seemingly crystal clear flesh that emits fluorescence is completely hardened, turning into a layer of silvery metal coating——silver The whole body of the big fish seems to be cast by some kind of high-quality alloy, both its hardness and strength have been greatly increased.

Regardless of whether it is black or white, the final metamorphosis is exactly the same, a huge metal fish with a silver unicorn.

"This is a monster!"

A certain elf pirate exclaimed: "Although not all of them are monsters, the fish king of this big silver fish is definitely a monster that can reach the first energy level - it looks very similar to a silver scale marlin, but It is relatively primitive and much larger than the average silverfin marlin..."

"Is this a labyrinth species?" Isengard also felt very miraculous. He has already seen that the black and white fish school is essentially a differentiation of fish, each with different abilities, but they are not complete. Only after eating the other party's flesh and blood can the originally silent blood of both parties be revived, and finally transform into the silver scale marlin they saw.

Perhaps, the silver scale marlin is the descendant of this big silver fish, but in a long time, there is a branch mutation, which can awaken the blood without devouring each other's flesh and blood, but this kind of blood has not completed the transformation process, so the body shape is also different. It will be smaller than this silver scale fish.

The formation of black and white fish has become much sparser. Under the confrontation between the big silver fish that have transformed from both sides, the side of the black fish retreated unwillingly—they did not capture the underground lake, so they could only let the white fish continue to attack. Occupy this superior breeding ground.

"The competition in nature is cruel."

The blond boy wanted to feel this way, but he was actually a little depressed, because the scene of cannibalism reminded him of the internal struggle between his family and the imperial nobles... But soon, this gloomy thought was dispelled .

Because of a familiar voice, it sounded at the entrance of the cave.

"Huh? Silver scale fish? There is still food delivered to your door."

The voice sounded quite pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "Shasha, go and eat, these fish are great supplements for you."

"After eating these fish, not only will your injuries recover, but it will also be of great help to your future advancement to the second energy level."

At the end of the speech, there was a burst of very exciting 'Oh! ’ Sound, a huge shadow that also shone with silver light came galloping from the river!
