What Zhao Hai didn't know was that this seahorse wasn't an ordinary seahorse, nor was it a bigger seahorse. This seahorse was actually a variant beast.
Whether it was the Ark Continent or the Fishmen, there would always be variant beasts. Variant beasts were magic beasts, but they weren't ordinary magic beasts.
Magical beasts were generally wild beasts that could use magic. However, strange beasts were different. Strange beasts generally referred to magical beasts that could use special techniques. These two starting points were different. So, their strength naturally differed by a lot.
Magic beasts use their magic crystals to cast magic, this was why they were called magic beasts. On the other hand, variant beasts were different. Variant beasts can use magic, but at the same time, they also have their own Divergent Abilities. These Divergent Abilities were much more powerful than magic. Because of this, most people would rather face a High Level Magic Beast than to provoke a variant beast.
The seahorse that Luo Ying and the others were riding was a variant beast!
This seahorse looked very big and moved very slowly. However, this was only its appearance. In fact, it was a water element magic beast. At the same time, it was also an ice element beast.
Variant beasts were certainly magic beasts, but magic beasts weren't necessarily variant beasts. This was something that everyone in the continent knew. Luo Ying and the others' mounts were actually a very peculiar race. They were both variant beasts and magic beasts. They were very famous in the sea, they were called Ice Seahorses.
Although the name Ice Seahorse was very common, there was still a certain difference between ice and water. The most important difference was their attack power. Ice Seahorses were actually water element magic beasts. However, after they mutated, they were able to use ice element Divergent Abilities.
Ice element beasts were generally water element magic beasts. However, most of the water element magic beasts didn't have ice element Divergent Abilities. This was the same as the difference between magic beasts and variant beasts.
Although ice and water seemed to be the same, and there were a lot of water element magic beasts that could use ice element Divergent Abilities. In fact, if one really wanted to compare them, then one shouldn't say that water element magic beasts could use ice element Divergent Abilities. It should be said that ice element beasts could use water element magic.
Whether it was in terms of attack or defense, the Water element was inferior to the Ice element. And these Ice Seahorses were strange beasts that could use Water Element and Ice Element Divergent Abilities. Their Water Element Magic wasn't very strong, but once they use Water Element Magic, their speed would greatly increase. Most of the Magic Beasts in the sea wouldn't be able to catch up to them. And their Ice Element Divergent Ability was actually only one type, the Icicle Technique!
Their water element magic was used behind them. It was like adding a propeller to their back, making them run faster. On the other hand, their Icicle Technique was like adding a gun in front of them. The icicles that they shot out weren't only fast, but their attack power wasn't bad either. Because of this, Ice Seahorses were also known as Blazing Icicle Beasts in the Endless Sea.
Blazing Icicle Beasts didn't mean that Ice Seahorses could use fire element Divergent Abilities. Instead, it meant that when they ran in the sea, it was as if their buttocks were on fire. Speaking of which, this wasn't a glorious title, but it was still a headache for the Fishmen.
Zhao Hai curiously looked at the Ice Sea Dragon, but he didn't say anything. He just commanded the Blade Scale Whale to swim towards the battlefield. Dashan and Luo Ying were also on Zhao Hai's left and right.
Before long, the group arrived at the battlefield. There were a lot of floating corpses, but the Fishmen didn't move. One must know that the sea was flowing, so it wouldn't take long for the corpses to be washed away. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai didn't see any corpses on the battlefield when he arrived.
The Fishmen didn't have the habit of burying their corpses. On the contrary, most of the Fishmen buried their corpses in the sea. In other words, after they died, they would put their corpses in big shells and then let them float away. If they couldn't find a big shell, then they would just put them in the sea and let them float away.
This didn't mean that the Fishmen were disrespectful to the dead. On the contrary, they did this out of respect for the dead. The Fishmen believed that since they were born in the sea, then after they died, they would return to the sea. Because of this, they chose to bury their corpses in this way.
The Fishmen also knew that after using this method, most of their corpses would be eaten by the Magic Beasts in the sea. However, they still chose to do it. They believed that the Magic Beasts in the sea were given to them by the Sea God, so they were a part of the sea. Because of this, they were able to preserve their corpses until now.
On the battlefield, all the Fishmen would do this. In their opinion, the dead should be buried in the sea, there was no need to collect the corpses.
Zhao Hai looked at the floating corpses. Although the battle between the two sides wasn't long, the casualties weren't small. In just a short period of time, there were already about a thousand casualties.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Luo Ying and said, "General, if these are the corpses of your soldiers, can I move them?"
Luo Ying looked at Zhao Hai, then she nodded and said, "Mister, if the dead soldiers can help us, then I think that they would be able to rest in peace." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Zhao Hai looked deeply at Luo Ying. He discovered that Luo Ying was a qualified general. She was very good at commanding a battle, moreover, she also had a heart of love for her soldiers. Only such a person could be a qualified general. Only such a person would be able to make her soldiers sacrifice their lives for her.
Zhao Hai turned his head and waved his hand. A black mist immediately surrounded the corpses. When the black mist disappeared, the corpses also disappeared.
Zhao Hai didn't want the Fishmen to see the undead right now. He knew what kind of expression the Fishmen would have when they saw the undead. If the Fishmen were to see a pile of skeletons, then it would be a huge blow to their morale. In a war, this would be fatal.
When Luo Ying saw that the corpses had disappeared, she couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai turned his head to Luo Ying and smiled, "General doesn't need to worry, I just stored the undead. If I were to reveal the undead now, then it would be a blow to their morale."
When Luo Ying heard Zhao Hai, she nodded. At this time, she really admired Zhao Hai. Even at this time, he was still able to consider everything. This was rare.
Zhao Hai turned his head to the Fishmen and said, "General, if the other party attacks, how about you let me block them? What do you think?"
Luo Ying stared, she didn't think that Zhao Hai would take the initiative to fight. However, she still shook her head and said, "Mister doesn't need to worry. They would launch a war like this several times a day. They just want to grind us down. I want Mister to observe for two days, collect more undead, and then defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."
Zhao Hai gawked, then he nodded and said, "I'll listen to the general's arrangement. As long as the general needs it, I'll be ready at any time."
Luo Ying nodded, then she led Zhao Hai and the others back to the Blue Dragon Snail. After arriving at the Blue Dragon Snail, Luo Ying immediately called for her subordinates and had them arrange for the reinforcements that Dashan brought to be distributed to the various teams.
Originally, Zhao Hai wanted to return to the Blade Scale Whale and then enter the Space. But when he saw Lizzy and Megan excitedly looking at Luo Ying giving out orders, Zhao Hai decided not to return. Instead, he stayed behind and studied from the side.
At the same time, Luo Ying also gave the order to fully defend. She believed that the other party would soon attack again. Moreover, this time, it would certainly be a big attack. Therefore, they needed to be prepared for it. Luo Ying's army immediately dispersed into various groups. At the same time, Luo Ying gave the order to fully defend. She believed that the other party would soon attack.
Zhao Hai carefully observed Luo Ying's arrangement of the troops. He discovered that although the troops were divided into square formations, each square formation was composed of four small square formations. Of these four small square formations, one of them was a defensive formation, mainly made up of turtles and other races with strong defenses. The first small square formation was made up of long range attackers. These attackers were made up of special Fishman races, they can use magic to attack from a distance. Then there was the close range attackers, these close-range attackers were made up of powerful warring races. Their bodies were tough, and their close combat abilities were very strong. Finally, there was the support commanders, this race's role was to support the other three races while at the same time, they were also the command commanders.
With these four small square formations, they can form a large square formation. Then with some larger square formations, they can form an even larger square formation. This way, they can become a fighting unit. Moreover, they can give orders directly, making it more convenient and flexible to command.
What surprised Zhao Hai the most was their method of giving orders. The method that the Fishmen used to give orders was something called a messenger fish.
This messenger fish was a very special fish in the sea. Their bodies weren't very big, they were very small, but their swimming speed was very fast. Moreover, they were very easy to tame. Most importantly, these fishes could transmit messages to each other. Even if two fishes were far away, they could still send out a special sound wave to communicate with each other.
The Fishmen used this characteristic of the messenger fish to develop a type of magic. This magic was able to imitate the sounds of the messenger fish, and then use this special method to transmit messages. This magic was also made into a secret code, making it the fastest and safest way to transmit messages in the sea. If you don't know the secret code, then even if you see the messenger fish, you wouldn't be able to know what the other party was talking about.
Upon hearing about the messenger fish, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel that he was back on Earth, watching a movie. Both sides were using a transmitter to send messages. This method was very primitive compared to mobile phones or telephones. However, in the Ark Continent, this was a very great invention.
Zhao Hai was also very interested in the messenger fish. So he asked Luo Ying for some and then directly placed them in the Space. Although the Space issued a prompt, it didn't upgrade. However, it did gain a new function, which was to strengthen the Space's communication capabilities.
