Chapter 252 Deep Sea Creatures
The chief of the Blackfin Clan, Thief Eye, had already ambushed the murlocs at the bottom of the sea. She knew that humans were killing black plesiosaurs in order to relight the lighthouse.
Thief Eye did not want to see the lighthouse being lit again, and she tried her best to stop these humans from taking reckless actions.
The sailboat of the Rumeng Guild had just sailed out of the port of Theramore, and the murloc ambushers of the Blackfin Murlocs lurking outside the port discovered the situation at the first time, so they quickly reported the information to Thief Eye.
The Blackfin Murlocs were well prepared, and they found the right time to surround the eight sailboats of the Rumeng Guild from the bottom of the sea.
The Blackfin Murlocs emerged from the sea, throwing harpoons and spears to attack the humans on the ship.
The murloc ambushers took the opportunity to get close to the bottom of the ship, ready to use the dagger in their hands to drill through the bottom of the ship. As long as the humans on the ship fell into the sea, they would be slaughtered by the murlocs.
"Don't panic, blow the conch shell."
"Pull all the boats together, don't jump into the water easily."
"Archers go to the side of the ship and shoot the fishmen who show up."
Wu Tianyun and Chu Yu were still calm in the face of danger. They both shouted to the commanders to fight the fishmen.
The fishmen are already old opponents of the Rumeng Guild, and they are well prepared for the ambush of the fishmen.
The sound of conch shells rang out one after another, and the sea surface in the distance stirred up white waves. After hearing the sound of conch shells, the slippery lobster people beat their huge lobster tails vigorously and swam quickly towards the sailboat.
"Boss, the fishmen, humans and lobster people are fighting over there." Benbolba was inexplicably excited when he saw the fight.
"I saw it, I saw that the fishman named Thief Eyes was there too." Yang Yi said as he looked at the battlefield with rolling waves.
Thief Eyes hid in the distance of the battlefield to command the battle. She held a staff in her hand and was surrounded by three water balls with water shields. Yang Yi found her at once.
The battle in the sea did not last long. The blackfin fishmen wanted to use the old routine of ambush to kill the ship and people of the Rumeng Guild.
But the adventurers learned from their mistakes and had prepared a counter-ambush.
The blackfin fishmen and the slippery lobsters fought in the water. The thief eye found that something was wrong and immediately asked the blackfin fishmen to retreat.
"Boss, the fishman named Thief Eye is going to run away, what should we do?" Benbolba asked anxiously.
"There are too many fishmen around Thief Eye, don't worry."
Yang Yi saw that Thief Eye quickly organized the blackfin fishmen together and then quickly retreated to a large island.
Those slippery lobsters probably knew that the nearby islands were the territory of the blackfin fishmen, so they didn't dare to chase too closely, and the two sides quickly opened up the distance.
Finally, Thief Eye led all the blackfin fishmen to the island.
"At least we have found the trace of Thief Eyes now, so keep an eye on this island."
"Guji, go back to Warrior Island and notify Blake to bring the fighting fishmen over."
Guji rode the plesiosaur and swam quickly to Warrior Island.
It took about a day for Guji to ride the plesiosaur back to Warrior Island, and it would take a few more days for Blake to bring the fighting fishmen over.
This round trip was very time-consuming. Yang Yi arranged three little fishmen, Benbolba, Mojimus and Gudong, to keep an eye on the situation around the island, and he sneaked onto the island again.
According to what the wise man of the Blackfin Clan said before, Thief Eyes' residence on this island was on a cliff facing the sea.
Yang Yi had been here once before, so he was familiar with the route at this time and soon came to the front of the fishman's hut on the cliff.
Thief Eyes was very cautious. A dozen fishmen were left outside the fishman's hut on the cliff to protect her, and there were many fishman ambushers lurking around.
Relying on the effect of [Secondary Invisibility Detection Potion], Yang Yi successfully avoided the fishman ambushers lurking on the road and approached the fishman hut of Thief Eyes.
This fishman hut was built at the highest point of the entire island. Because it was built by the sea, the old lighthouse on the sea in the distance could be seen directly.
Yang Yi looked into the fishman hut. Thief Eyes was sitting on a large wooden chair with a tattered book in his hand.
Murlocs usually sit on the ground. It is a magical thing to see a fishman sitting on a chair like a human, and it is even more magical to see a fishman sitting on a chair and reading a book seriously.
"I don't know which human this Thief Eyes learned from. She is really a unique fishman. And she has been promoted to level 6."
Yang Yi suddenly felt reluctant to kill this Thief Eyes. Ratchet Town is really short of fishmen, and this Thief Eyes is a B-level fishman, which is really a rare talent.
Thief Eyes was flipping through the book, and suddenly stood up, as if she had made some kind of decision.
She dropped the book in her hand, and then called the fishmen around the fishman's hut, and went down the cliff together.
"What did this Thief Eyes do with so many fishmen?" Yang Yi looked at Thief Eyes with a group of fishmen leaving in confusion.
Yang Yi did not follow Thief Eyes immediately, but took this opportunity to sneak into the fishman's hut and picked up the old books on the ground.
"Despicable creatures in the deep sea."
Because the cover was too worn, Yang Yi read the title of this old book word by word.
This book was not written in the language of the water tribe, but in the language of humans. It seemed to be the work of some indigenous human.
"So, Thief Eyes, a fishman, can actually understand the human language, which is really not simple."
Yang Yi was surprised that Thief Eyes knew the human language, and he flipped through the book casually.
This book mainly records various powerful creatures in the ocean, including sharks longer than multi-masted sailing ships, multi-headed snakes taller than lighthouses, and giant octopuses larger than islands.
The text in the book is very exaggerated in describing these sea monsters, and some are accompanied by exaggerated sketches, which makes people doubt whether the creatures described in the book really exist.
Yang Yi looked at this old book and thought the description in the book was very ridiculous.
"The author probably heard from sailors who went out to sea and wrote this book based on their bragging stories."
Yang Yi flipped through the book quickly without paying attention, until he saw an illustration of a giant monster on a severely worn page, and he stopped.
"Isn't this the sea monster Tesser?"
Yang Yi stopped and carefully read the text description under the illustration.
"The deep-sea monster Kraken, when they appear on the sea, is like a tower standing in the sea. This deep-sea monster is the earliest creature living in the world of Azeroth. They have witnessed the world ruled by the Old Gods and the rise of the Age of Magic."
"The Kraken once followed the great water elemental lord Neptulon, the Tidehunter, to guard lakes, rivers and oceans. Those who dare to ignore their anger and shuttle through the waves; and those who enter their territory without permission will be washed over, drowned and taken away by the huge waves they raise."
The author of this book still describes the sea monster Kraken in an exaggerated way, and the illustrations look like the Kraken can swallow all the water in the ocean with one mouth.
In addition, the book also records in detail the various living habits of the Kraken, such as their love to dive into the deep sea when they are dormant, and their special love for bright light.
"The author of this book writes as if he has raised a Kraken himself. If I hadn't seen the sea monster Tesser, I really wouldn't believe that there is such a creature as the Kraken in this world.".
