Lord of the Star Ocean

After half a day's voyage, the fleet of five blue warships has penetrated deep into the Great Swamp.

There is no one inhabited here, as far as the eye can see, it is full of lakes and lakes, countless rivers are densely intertwined, dense aquatic plants and aquatic plants grow wantonly, it is undoubtedly a fertile land.

But it is precisely this unexploited and fertile land that hides countless dangers. The river channel that the fleet sailed at this time seemed to be like a cauldron being boiled, and the entire water surface was boiling!

When Nie Feng, Peng Yi and other soldiers in the army left the cabin and rushed to the deck, they happened to see this astonishing scene.

I saw hideous and ugly demonized murlocs jumping high from the water, rushing towards the green mongoose warship desperately. Some of them hit the ship's plank with their hard heads, and some jumped onto the deck to fight with the sailor guards!

These demonized murlocs are smaller than ordinary people. They have crocodile heads, human bodies and fish tails. Their whole bodies are covered with blue-black scales. Their upper limbs are thick and powerful, and their claws are as sharp as hooks. When they open their mouths, they reveal two rows of sharp white teeth.

The predecessor of the demonized murloc was actually a black-scaled crocodile that inhabited the great swamp. After being eroded by the demonic power of the void demon that invaded Haoyuan Star, it became a demonized mutation. Not only did its appearance change a lot, its combat power also doubled, and it formed its own unique population.

The demonized murlocs mainly gather in the depths of the Great Swamp, but they often run along the star-studded rivers to the river near Haoyuan City to attack merchant ships, causing considerable losses for a long time.

In the star tower of Haoyuan City, there have always been missions to eliminate demonized murlocs, and the rewards are quite generous.

It's just that the demonized murlocs are very cunning and good at sneaking, so it's not easy to deal with them.

Unexpectedly, the Qingmeng fleet encountered so many demonized murloc attacks. No wonder the sailors of the water battalion manipulating the warships could not resist and urgently sought help from the students.

There are more than 400 warriors participating in the assessment by the Ministry of Fire this time, and there are as many as 80 or 90 warriors assigned to each Qingmang warship, and most of them are of top-level black iron and junior silver ranks.

The problem is that the environment here is special. It is not an open plain but a boat in the river. The long and narrow deck of the Qingmeng battleship cannot accommodate too many people.

The head of the Martial Pavilion, who was in charge of leading the team this time, was very experienced. Seeing this, he immediately yelled: "Attack freely, protect yourself, the minions of the demonized murlocs are poisonous!"

He was also secretly anxious, because the supervisor martial artist sent by the Ministry of Fire would arrive at the temporary camp in the Misty Swamp a day later, who would have thought that the warship transporting the assessment students would be besieged by demonized murlocs.

If there were a few martial masters in charge, these demonized murlocs might not dare to come out to die.

After a rough estimate, the number of demonized murlocs is at least four to five hundred, and there are more hidden in the water, either due to the alliance of several tribes or launched by a large tribe.

The latter is more terrifying than the former, because the larger the group of demonized monsters, the more high-level people there are.

A few small tribes are nothing to fear!

In order to boost the morale of the battle, the head of the Martial Pavilion roared again: "All the demon crystals obtained from killing demonized murlocs will be included in this assessment!"

In fact, the same thing was said by the sailor who asked for help before, but the weight of what was said by the steward of the Martial Pavilion was quite different, which lifted the spirits of all the assessment students who heard it!

In this fleet, the chief of the Wu Pavilion is considered to be the highest-ranking person, equivalent to the role of the leader.

And he represents Wu Ge, so what he said is of course weighty and trustworthy.

With the guarantee of this chief, then everyone can let go of their hands and feet to reap the military exploits, without worrying about paying blood, sweat and sacrifice, and the work will be in vain.

And if he can successfully capture ten demon crystals, then he can go home directly without taking risks in the dangerous and unpredictable foggy swamp, which is really great.

As a result, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and even the children of those aristocratic families showed off their star artifacts, and tried their best to fight back against the demonized murlocs.

Peng Yi said in a deep voice: "Be careful to protect yourself, don't rush to grab credit, and don't separate!"

He said this to his nine team members.

Peng Yi's ten-man team is currently located at the front of the Qingmeng battleship. Because the deck is too narrow, everyone is crowded close together, and there is not much room for maneuvering and dodging.

The advantage is that the ten people face different directions, so they don't need to worry about being attacked by demonized murlocs behind them. The disadvantage is of course very obvious, that is, they are too passive.

Peng Yi is rough on the outside and careful on the inside, knowing that in the current chaotic situation, everyone should be protected first, and the second is to kill the demonized murlocs to obtain the demon crystals. The most taboo thing is to fight each other in chaos.

The nine warriors, including Nie Feng, nodded in unison, obeying Peng Yi's order sternly.

That is to say, the warriors in the army have such a high degree of discipline. If it were the children of those aristocratic families, they would not willingly obey other people's orders, saying that it is the most important thing to gain military exploits.

Nie Feng held the divine arm bow, drew out an armor-piercing arrow and buckled it on the string.

He was the only one equipped with a longbow in the team, so the other team members squeezed each other to make more space for Nie Feng to display his archery skills.

Crash!

A demonized murloc suddenly jumped out of the water in front of the Qingmang battleship, carrying thousands of water droplets, and rushed towards Peng Yi's team in the air, stabbing one of the team members fiercely with the iron fork clenched in its claws.

The demonized murlocs possess considerable intelligence. They not only live together as a group, but also use and manufacture tools, weapons, and armor equipment, which are essentially out of the category of savage beasts.

The weapon used by this demonized murloc is very crude, but its size and weight are quite astonishing. The tip of the fork is so sharp that it can pierce armor with one blow!

Its attack came very suddenly, almost hitting the deck in the blink of an eye, but Nie Feng's reaction was faster, he immediately shifted the direction of the arrow, and suddenly let go of the bowstring.

Phew~

The next moment, the armor-piercing arrow shot out like lightning, passing only four or five steps away in an instant, and hit its neck before the demonized murloc's iron fork hit the target.

Puchi!

The scale armor on the demonized murloc's neck was ruthlessly pierced by the armor-piercing arrow, which failed to exert its due defensive power under the close-range attack of the armor-piercing arrow.

A three-edged arrow protruded from the back of its neck, bringing out a mist of miserable green blood!

The demonized murloc was killed on the spot and fell straight onto the deck, only one step away from Peng Yi's team!
