Mages knew very little about the magical beasts in the water, and it was difficult to count the strange magical beasts in the sea. The red eggs surrounded by the black stones were each the size of a fist, with natural golden mageweaths on them. These were not low-level magical beasts. Only high-level magical beasts would have mageweaths on their eggs.
The worst thing was that these eggs were obviously taken care of. The magical beasts in this cave would not leave without returning.
Salin turned around and swam toward the entrance of the cave. The magical beasts that lived here were obviously not kind. There were no fish or other magical beasts in the entire natural harbor. On land, this could only mean one thing: the guy in this cave was extremely fierce and powerful. No other magical beasts were willing to provoke it, so the harbor looked so peaceful.
As Salin turned around, he saw Nelis's green eyes emitting a golden light. She was somewhat excited and was about to pounce on the eggs. Salin grabbed Nelis's arm and swam back with her.
These things might be good for Nelis, but it was better to get ashore as soon as possible and ask for help from the mages. There were still more than 20 mages on the shore. Everyone had to think of a way to deal with this magical beast.
This magical beast must be eliminated, or else this place would not be able to be used as a harbor in the future. With a fellow that no other magical beast dared to approach here, it would be easy to overturn a warship.
Salin did not know much about other things, but at least he was very familiar with the magical beasts in the sea. In the sea, unlike on land, the territories between magical beasts were very vague. There were even phenomena of many magical beasts occupying the same territory together.
This magical beast had driven away all the creatures within a hundred miles. How could it be easy to talk to?
Nelis struggled for a while, but then calmed down. This magical beast egg could not run away even if it was left here. There were many helpers on the shore, so she did not have to be too anxious. She was dragged out of the cave by Salin, and she saw a big fish more than ten meters long rushing toward her.
Salin thought that it was over. He had come out of someone else's cave, and there were still the big fish eggs in the cave. It was impossible not to make a move. This fish more than ten meters long was silver in color. It had no scales, and was covered in pale golden mageweaths. It had a circle of eyes on its head, and it looked extremely demonic.
Salin patted the gourd at his waist, and a six-meter-long stream of water rushed out and pierced the big fish.
The big fish's body was slender and very agile. Sensing Salin's threat, it twisted its body at the same time. Salin saw blue electric currents erupt between the light golden mageweaths of the big fish. Hundreds of electric currents flew out and hit Salin and Nelis.
Salin was struck by the electric current, and he immediately lost control of all the muscles in his body. If he could not breathe underwater, the seawater would have poured into his lungs and he would have died immediately.
Even so, he couldn't withstand such an attack. His Ice Patterned Armor had limited resistance against the electric current. The electric current penetrated the Ice Patterned Armor and electrocuted Salin until his entire body twitched.
This kind of spasm was a natural muscle reaction, and Salin had no way of controlling it. On the contrary, the intense pain was bearable, and Salin's spiritual power was not affected. Fortunately, he had been using his family badge to train his spiritual power. If it were any other mage, they would not be able to use magic for a few months after being electrocuted.
The stream of water shot out from the gourd also hit the big fish. The turquoise stream of water wrapped around the big fish, and just as it was about to strangle it, blue electric currents once again erupted between the mageweaths of the big fish. These blue electric currents converged into a thick bolt of lightning and hit the stream of water released by Salin.
The attack speed of the fish-shaped magic beast was faster than any magic. Even in his normal state, Salin could not control the stream of water to dodge it.
With a sizzle, the turquoise stream of water absorbed all the electric currents released by the big fish. This time, it did not disperse the stream of water, but the strength of the big fish exceeded the limit that the stream of water could bear. The elemental arrangement in the stream of water was instantly disrupted, and it could no longer attack.
If the stream of water itself did not have the attribute of lightning, this attack would have completely destroyed it, and it would not have been able to condense again.
Salin still did not realize that the attack he suffered was basically absorbed by his Ring of Blessing. The family badge in the ring trembled happily, absorbing all the electric currents that entered the ring. In the deep mark in the center of the badge, a pool of blue liquid appeared, and this time it did not disappear for a long time.
Nelis also suffered part of the attack. Her hair spread out in the water, spreading out the damage caused by the electric currents, but this also completely destroyed her combat power. Nelis relied on physical strength to fight, and her condition was not any better than Salin. Salin had spiritual power and could release silent magic, but she could not do anything. She could only watch as the big fish pounced over, opened its huge mouth, and was about to swallow her and her master.
There were many legends that warriors who hunted magic beasts would enter the stomach of the magic beast and cut it open. This was unrealistic. Unless it was a demon like Nelis who was not afraid of acid corrosion, humans entering the stomach of magic beast would be directly corroded into a pile of nourishment.
Nelis was really scared. She would not die for the time being after being swallowed into the stomach of the fish, but Salin would be digested completely. Once Salin died, her fate would be very tragic. The best result would be her soul burning, and she would follow Salin to a clean death.
Although she risked her life in previous battles, she had never encountered such a situation. Salin was going to die in front of her.
Salin did not panic. He was abnormally calm, and only released a Water Pattern Shield. He was still holding Nelis's arm. Because of the electric current, his muscles were stiff and could not let go. His nails dug deep into Nelis's skin, but could not pierce it at all.
A huge bubble with a diameter of more than five meters appeared outside Salin's body. This Water Pattern Shield was the defense of a level-four magic, slightly weaker than the Ice Pattern Armor. No matter what, it could not stop the attack of this big fish. But now Salin and Nelis were at the bottom of the sea. As soon as the bubble appeared, the huge buoyancy directly lifted Salin and Nelis up to the surface.
At the same time, Salin cast a water magic — Elemental Balance. This was an extremely unpopular magic, specially designed for water elements. It could maintain a person's state in balance, and was considered a kind of support magic.
If it was someone else rushing to the surface like this, even if Elemental Balance was cast, it would cause their blood to boil, and they would be seriously injured even if they did not die. Salin did not breathe with his lungs at all, but with his skin. The bubble wrapped around him and Nelis rushed to the surface. Salin's body was not affected much, but his vision was a little blurry.
The bubble rushed out of the sea and flew into the air. Salin felt that his hands and feet still could not move, so he immediately released his flying skills. Black clouds wrapped around his and Nelis's body, and they fell all the way to the crescent-shaped peninsula.
Salin did not have the ability to fly with a person. This silent magic was already his limit. Seeing that the two were about to land, Salin cast dozens of Frost Formations on the ground. The bubble hit the surface, and the Frost Formations froze the bubble. The two finally did not bounce into the sea again.
Salin wanted to open his mouth to speak, but no matter what, he could not make a sound. It was the same for Nelis. Salin removed the Water Pattern Shield, and wanted Nelis to take out the construction puppet and escape to the shore with the two people.
Nelis also thought of this, but she could not command the construction puppet when her whole body was paralyzed, and she could not even take it out of the bracelet.
In the dark blue sea, a huge water column rose into the sky. The big fish chased after them relentlessly, and a slender fish head emerged from the surface.
I don't believe you can climb to the shore. At most, you can electrocute me a few more times. Salin stared at the big fish's round eyes, and they looked at each other fiercely.
Salin was right. If this big fish wanted to release lightning, it needed to consume a lot of energy. Moreover, the distance between the two was a little far, and the big fish was not sure that it could directly electrocute Salin.
Just when Salin was feeling a little lucky that this thing could not come ashore like some magic beasts in the sea, the big fish opened its mouth and spat out a huge ice bomb.
Salin raised the Water Pattern Shield again, and the bubble wrapped around him and Nelis. The ice bomb hit the Water Pattern Shield, and Salin and Nelis were smashed into the air.
This Water Pattern Shield had a special characteristic after it mutated, which was that it could greatly reduce the power of physical attacks. Before the ice bomb spat out by the big fish broke the bubble, the physical attack had already sent Salin and Nelis into the sea on the other side of the peninsula.
With a splash, Salin and Nelis fell back into the sea.
Nelis was fine, but Salin almost fainted when he fell into the water. Nelis's vocal cords could not make any sound, and she really wanted Salin to leave her behind and escape alone. That big fish had no teeth, and any magic beast without teeth had a corrosive power that exceeded the power of magic attacks. Nelis felt that she could last half a day in that kind of liquid without dying. As long as Salin went back to call for help, she should be able to last until then. If Salin was swallowed into the fish's stomach, he would not last a minute.
Salin was still not in a hurry. This crescent island was more than ten miles long, and the place where he fell into the water was right in the middle of the peninsula. If the magic beast wanted to go around the peninsula to chase after him, it would have to swim ten miles first. This was enough time for him and Nelis to go ashore.
Salin released the Water Pattern Shield and floated to the surface of the sea with Nelis again. Then, he used the Fly spell again. This time, he did not try to make himself and Nelis fly. Black clouds wrapped around the two of them, and they moved slowly towards the sea. The airflow formed a whirlpool on the surface of the water. At this time, the mages on the shore also noticed the movement in the sea, and rushed to the shore.
Nelis was relieved. She was a demon, and demons were not like humans, they would help each other.
Once the magic beast in the water came out of the sea, its aura could no longer be hidden. The two level-five mages discovered this big guy and were scared out of their wits. Then, they saw Salin wrapped in a black cloud moving towards the sea. A few swordsmen immediately jumped into the water and swam towards Salin.
Seeing the people coming to help, Salin could no longer hold on and fainted.
