Richard took out several bottles of Fire Dancing Stars, and then took out several steel arrows, and then tied the Fire Dancing Stars firmly to the arrows. In this way, when the arrows hit an object, the Fire Dancing Stars would naturally shatter and cause a violent explosion.
The various stilt houses of the fishman tribe here are all built with wood and a kind of thatch, and are very flammable.
Richard chose the nine o'clock direction, centered on the current location of the hall, as his breakthrough point.
Because according to his observation, firstly, there were fewer patrol teams here, and secondly, Richard vaguely saw a path leading out of the merman tribe.
It is obviously very unwise to run around in the dark in an unfamiliar environment. If there is a trail, it at least proves that this is a passage, which is definitely safer than the unknown wilderness.
Therefore, if you want to find a shelter temporarily, it would be a better choice to find a hidden place near the trail.
When everything was ready, Richard tiptoed out of the back door of the hall.
His figure flashed and disappeared into the shadow of a stilt house in front.
At this time, about ten meters ahead, a five-man fishman patrol team was passing by in the shadows.
A few seconds later, two arrows with red bindings suddenly shot out from the shadows into the sky in the six and twelve o'clock directions.
Many of the patrolling murloc warriors were still wondering why there was such a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Then, two violent explosions sounded!
Instantly, two stilt houses at twelve o'clock and six o'clock were on fire.
Accompanied by the screams and shouts of the fishmen, the entire fishman village suddenly began to boil, as if hot water had been poured into boiling oil! The ones who
reacted the fastest were, of course, the fishman patrols!
For a moment, almost all the murloc patrols ran quickly towards the place where the fire occurred, shouting "Gujiguji" in the murloc language.
There was no need to guess, Richard knew that it must be shouting something like enemy attack or fire.
Richard took advantage of the chaos in the Murloc tribe and gulped down the Wind Grace potion. Two groups of light blue air currents immediately surrounded his legs, and he shot straight to the nine o'clock direction like an arrow.
At nine o'clock, the fishermen in the stilt houses were awakened by the noise. They opened the door and saw a gust of wind blowing and the dust raised blinded their eyes. They wiped their eyes and looked again, but saw nothing. They only saw two flames rising into the sky not far away from the tribe. They hurriedly called their families to put out the fire.
At this time, Richard had already crossed the short distance of more than 100 meters and reached the heavily guarded gate.
Even though the number of murlocs had been reduced a lot due to the sudden fire that had just broken out, which had caused many murloc warriors to go and put out the fire, a quick glance revealed that there were still four or five murloc warriors, plus two dual-blade warriors still guarding here.
Obviously, fighting head-on is not a good idea, and Richard would not choose to run out of the main gate, as this would instead cause the murloc tribe to send people to chase or search along the trail, which would be detrimental to his subsequent concealment.
Richard was seen hiding in the shadows, casting Summon Skeleton, summoning a sword and shield skeleton, and immediately casting a secret technique to possess the skeleton.
Immediately, the Sword and Shield Skeleton strode towards the gate, attracting the attention of all the fishmen here. Richard wanted to climb over the fence,
but he saw that all the guards had been transferred away. Richard calmly climbed over the wall at the gate and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to send the Sword and Shield Skeleton that was under siege back to the world of the dead.
The few murloc guards were left standing there in a daze, staring at the sword and shield skeleton that had suddenly disappeared.
After walking along the path for a while, Richard summoned the Sword and Shield Skeleton again and arranged it to clear the way ahead.
Looking at the chaotic camp of the murloc tribe, Richard smiled lightly and continued walking along the path without looking back.
As he walked, Richard looked around. The path was surrounded by rolling hills and dense ferns, which were very easy to avoid.
After a while, Richard vaguely saw several caves. Due to the continuous fighting and the unfamiliar area, he now wanted to find a place to rest and sort out his ideas for the next step.
Suddenly, he felt the Soul-Eating Demon Spider eggs in his arms jump, which was a sign that the Soul-Eating Demon Spider was about to hatch.
This made Richard a little anxious. It seemed that he had to find a place quickly, because as soon as the Soul-Eating Demon Spider hatched, Richard would have to sign the blood contract as soon as possible, so he had to find a relatively safe place to do it.
I quickly compared the several caves I had just discovered and found one that was just big enough to accommodate one person.
Richard quickly possessed the skeleton and broke in directly. After killing an unknown beast, he took over the nest.
At the same time, Richard did not forget to order the Sword and Shield Skeleton to throw the beast's corpse far away. After the skeleton came back, he arranged it to guard the entrance of the cave, and he took a quick rest.
At this moment, I heard the sound of a shell breaking in my arms, and an eight-legged spider the size of a white jade fist crawled out from the broken egg.
Richard was immediately overjoyed. After waiting for so long, he finally hatched the Soul-Eating Spider.
The Soul-Eating Demon Spider that had just come out seemed a little dazed, stunned for a moment, and then, following the familiar breath, started from Richard's palm and crawled along his forearm towards his body.
Richard carefully took it off and placed it in the middle of his palm. At the same time, he bit his index finger, squeezed out three drops of blood, and began to recite the spell of the blood oath contract.
With the sound of a low incantation, three drops of blood essence floated in the air, forming an equilateral triangle. Suddenly, a blood-red vertical pupil appeared abruptly in the middle of the triangle.
The moment the vertical pupils opened, a strange pressure descended, and like a living thing, it looked back and forth between Richard and the young Soul-Eating Demon Spider. For a moment, Richard felt that there was an extra blood connection between himself and the Soul-Eating Demon Spider.
The next second, the blood-colored vertical pupils disappeared instantly!
At this point, the blood oath contract was basically completed. In the future, as long as Richard fed a drop of his blood to the Soul Devouring Demon Spider every ten days or half a month, he could always drive this monster. Even if the Soul Devouring Demon Spider died, there would be no backlash.
But before Richard could take a closer look at the larval Soul-Eating Demon Spider and enjoy the joy of his first contracted creature, suddenly, the sword-and-shield skeleton guarding the cave entrance issued a rapid warning, as if something was moving towards the cave at high speed.
The next second, the sound of a fight between the sword, shield, skeleton and unknown creatures was heard.
What a fast speed! Richard knew that the warning range of the Sword and Shield Skeleton was at least tens of meters, but from the time he heard the warning to the sound of fighting, it was only about two seconds, which showed how fast the opponent was!
That's right! It should be because of the blood essence I just made when I signed the blood contract with the Soul Devouring Demon Spider!
This unknown creature was most likely attracted by his own essence and blood.
Richard quickly grabbed the larval Soul-Eating Demon Spider and stuffed it into his arms, then walked towards the cave entrance to check for the enemy.
What caught my eye was an extremely ugly monster, shaped like a dog, with no head, no neck, no skin, and exposed blood-red muscle tissue, which was tangled and intertwined. The part that should have been a neck was now replaced by a naked brain, and the wrinkles of the brain were clearly visible.
"Oh no! A brain-eating monster! It's actually this kind of monster!" Richard was shocked.
Richard had learned a lesson since his last encounter with the man-faced demon spider, and consciously looked up some books related to the Underdark in the library, such as "Introduction to Underdark Species", etc., so he recognized at a glance that the monster in front of him was a brain-eating monster.
Brain-eating monsters like to eat the brains of intelligent creatures the most. The smarter the creature, the more they like it. Therefore, the brain of a human wizard apprentice is a rare and exquisite delicacy for them.
The worst thing is that the brain-eating monster has an abnormally high resistance to witchcraft, even higher than the iron-jawed lizard, and it moves very quickly, so it is extremely difficult for wizard apprentices to deal with it. Ordinary witchcraft attacks are almost ineffective on the brain-eating monster.
If it were an ordinary second-level wizard apprentice who chose to directly chant spells and launch witchcraft attacks upon encountering a brain-eating monster, he would definitely be doomed to failure!
But Richard immediately formulated a tactic, using the master-level zero-level witchcraft to summon skeletons and the advanced witchcraft item, the Bone Summoning Wand. He completed the spell within one second.
In an instant, a skeleton warrior and two skeleton soldiers quickly crawled out of the summoning array!
At this time, the soul fire of the sword and shield skeleton at the entrance of the cave suddenly went out.
It turned out that a brain-eating monster attracted the attention of the sword-shield skeleton in front, and another brain-eating monster suddenly attacked from the side and rear, causing the sword-shield skeleton guarding the door to die instantly!
Two brain-eating monsters! This set off alarm bells in Richard's heart.
Fortunately, the death of a summoned creature does not cause a backlash of mental power like some contracted creatures.
The two brain-eating monsters thought that after killing the skeleton at the entrance of the cave, they could go in and enjoy their "delicious" food. However, when they were about to rush into the cave, they were chopped and driven back by three fully armed skeletons.
Considering the unknown number of brain-eating monsters, if he stayed in the cave all the time, he would be trapped in a dead end, which was quite disadvantageous.
After Richard quickly cast a dark element shield and bone armor on himself, he formed a triangle formation with a skeleton warrior in front and two sword and shield skeletons in the back, protecting himself firmly in the middle, and slowly walked out of the cave.
Richard also thought very clearly that facing a monster like the brain-eating monster that had extremely high resistance to witchcraft, ordinary witchcraft was basically ineffective. Casting witchcraft was a pure waste of mental energy. It would be more effective to launch a physical attack. So at this moment, the giant bow was already in his hand.
Multiple shooting activated!
Richard shot three arrows in succession, hoping to severely injure the opponent even if he couldn't kill him. However, surprisingly, the two brain-eating monsters dodged them all.
It seemed that his master-level archery skills had failed for the first time!
Richard finally understood the true meaning of the four words "very fast" when describing the brain-eating monster in the book!
This is like in the previous life, one person asked, how fast can Bolt run, and another person answered, he runs very fast!
Vague descriptions can cause a lot of harm!
