Chapter 998 Sea Tribe Spy
The soldier turned out to be a sea creature! Moreover, at such a close distance, so many strong men did not see the flaw. Why did the leader of a small mercenary group bring it here?
"What's going on?" Smay went over quickly.
"Hiss!" The octopus-like soft-bodied creature suddenly made a strange sound when it saw him coming, and then jumped up and pounced on his face.
"Bold!" Piros had been paying attention to this side. Seeing that this sea creature actually wanted to attack Smay, he immediately flashed out quickly, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it, and then threw it hard to the ground.
After being grabbed and thrown by the ninth-level strong man, the octopus-like sea creature lay on the ground and became dying. A large amount of seawater overflowed from its body, barely maintaining its life.
"What's going on?" Smay didn't think that this sea creature could hurt him, so he was not panicked from beginning to end.
"It's the phantom pearl of the sea creature!" During this period, Donald had walked to the armor and squatted down to take a closer look.
Inside the armor was a human corpse with no head and only the neck below. In the wound in the middle of the neck, there was a bright purple pearl the size of a glass ball.
"Illusion Pearl?" Jia Zhengjin heard this term for the first time. Seeing Donald taking the pearl out of the disgusting flesh and blood of the corpse without any hesitation, his eyebrows slightly frowned.
"This is a very precious prop, which belongs to the royal family of the sea clan." Donald said, "It is said to have magical effects and can heal very serious injuries. But now it seems that it also has the ability to deceive perception and enhance the camouflage effect."
"How did you find it?" So many masters couldn't see it, how could Leah, an unknown mercenary group leader, pull it out? Jia Zhengjin asked in confusion.
"Report to Lord Keen!" Leah answered respectfully, "At first we didn't recognize it either, and even thought it was a companion. It was well disguised and almost fooled everyone! But an inadvertent flaw made me feel something was wrong. I boldly tried it and unexpectedly discovered its identity. We were all watching you, Lord Keen, arranging a defensive line in the projection magic, and it was right in front of me. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but my neck was so sore because I tilted my head up, so I wanted to move it, and I saw a tentacle under its helmet quickly retracted. I thought it was an illusion at the time, but I felt that I had to figure it out, so I pretended to be brave and took off its helmet. Who knew... I found the real body inside. It wanted to escape, but I caught it!"
"So that's it..." Jia Zhengjin looked down at the limp "octopus" on the ground, "What is this?"
"Lord Keane, this is Leotius of the sea clan!" Donald came over with a pearl and answered,
"Their body combat power is very weak, but they can store a lot of seawater in their bodies and can survive for more than ten days without seawater. This kind of sea creature can use their tentacles to connect with the nerves of the corpse and flexibly control them. Maybe our coalition forces have been infiltrated by the spies of the sea clan without knowing it."
"Then Lord Keane's plan just now, isn't it known to the sea clan?" Smay said anxiously "What if the sea tribe doesn't give us a chance to make arrangements and launches an offensive right away?"
"Fortunately, we blocked the entire area in time!" Arthur said, "There may be more than one sea tribe spy. Now we must find them all and prevent any news from reaching the sea tribe leader!"
"But the problem is, we have more than 10 million soldiers here!" Zandra frowned, "and the sea tribe is lurking inside, and even the masters can't sense it. If they all have this illusion pearl, how can we pull them out?"
"That's right! This is a very serious problem." Donald said seriously, "Because of its own characteristics, Leotius must rely on corpses and control corpses. So they are very Easy to identify! But there are other sea creatures, and they will be more difficult to identify after wearing illusion pearls. Finding them from these millions of soldiers is like looking for a needle in a haystack! "
"We don't even know the number of the other side!" Smy said anxiously, "What can we do?"
"In short, first order all coalition members to take off their helmets!" Yates said, "Let's let the whole army check each other first, and arrest the sea creatures immediately! As for those who can't be recognized, think of other ways! During this period, we can only completely blockade and prohibit anyone from entering and leaving at will. At the same time, no one is allowed to use magic, especially communication magic!"
Yates's method is the most appropriate at the moment, so he immediately issued an order, and the entire coalition camp was boiling.
In order to find out the sea creatures who have mixed into the human empire coalition, all members took action.
Sure enough, in the large-scale search, at least seven or eight sea creatures whose disguises were not thorough enough were caught. They all used helmets or hoods to cover their bodies or fish heads that were different from humans.
At least the sea creatures caught later were fish heads and human bodies, and it was difficult to be discovered if they were not careful.
Only this Leotius is different from them, and he is the only one who disguises himself by controlling the corpse.
"Can it talk?" Jia Zhengjin asked the dying Leotius during the search.
"Lord Keen, this is a relatively special group of sea creatures." Donald came over to explain, "They are probably somewhat distantly related to the Warcraft. It is said that they were species living on land in ancient times. Later, they slowly entered the ocean and evolved into what they are now. So Leotius also has the intelligence of a high-level Warcraft, and can be distinguished from ordinary marine creatures and become a member of the sea clan."
"So that's it!" Jia Zhengjin squatted down and looked at Leotius in front of him, "Hey! If you can point out all the spies of the sea clan to me, I will spare your life!"
Hearing this, Leotius raised his head with difficulty to look at him, then snorted coldly and ignored him.
An octopus snorted coldly at himself, this situation is really fresh.
Smith sent people to take Leotius over and locked him up with several other sea clan spies who were caught, and interrogated them severely. However, these sea clan spies were very stubborn, whether they were "octopuses" or fishmen, none of them were willing to open their mouths.
The interrogation was fruitless, and the kings of the four empires asked for help from the strong men of various countries. However, although everyone at the scene had extremely powerful strength and could easily crush these sea clan spies, they really had no way to interrogate them. After all, there was no magician who could use dark magic here.
If there were dark magicians, it would be easier to directly torture the souls of these spies.
The spies of the sea tribe who refused to give up their identities proved that there were more spies hiding in the coalition forces who had not been discovered.
Everyone was at a loss, because the ones they had found so far were relatively easy to identify and could be caught by removing their disguises. However, among the sea tribe, there were also many who were extremely similar to humans, and it was generally difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.
