Chapter 140 The Swamp Murloc who attacked brazenly (2)
"Crack!" When the first sound of ice shattering sounded in Chen Kai's ears, he did not stop his movements but used the giant sword in his hand to act as an ice crusher more quickly. He then chiseled the ice layer open, and then let the frozen carriage wheels escape from the entire large ice cube.
Chen Kai is not the only one operating the entire ice line. The others are also trying to peel off the ice cube at least five or six meters wide and nearly twenty meters long from the entire ice layer, because this ice cube will be an important carrier for Chen Kai and his friends to leave the swamp.
There is no doubt that the complete ice surface that can float on the water is definitely safer and stronger than the wooden boards attached to the carriage. For Chen Kai and the others, the only problem with this whole ice layer is the speed of ice melting. Although Chen Kai and the others have some low-level reels of frozen spells in their hands, this reel may be able to freeze a small piece of water surface, but there is absolutely no way to maintain the continuous freezing of the huge ice layer. If several elf mages can still cast spells at this moment, then Chen Kai and the others will not have to be so depressed, because they only need to strengthen the frost power in the spell scrolls used to make ice that are reserved by Chen Kai and others to concentrate on releasing spells that maintain the ice surface.
However, even such a huge ice surface is enough to stand firm on the water surface for at least two hours. In two hours, as long as Chen Kai and the others are fast enough, they may be able to escape from the sight of the fisherman. Of course, all this is in a smooth situation. If it is not smooth, maybe two hours later, when the ice melts, Chen Kai and the others will continue to fall into the swamp lake and swim.
"Come on! I don't want to stay here to feed the fish!" Chen Kai held a remaining wooden board in his hand and pulled the swamp lake water beside him hard. Although using wooden boards to paddle the ice surface is a drop in the bucket for increasing the speed of the ice surface. However, it can always slightly reduce the physical energy consumption of the two flying dragons, and adding another force during the acceleration process will undoubtedly prompt the speed of the entire ice surface a little. After repeated continuous operation, the speed will increase significantly.
"I understand! Boss!" Fei Yun responded weakly. In fact, he really hoped that there would be a propeller or motor now, but unfortunately, nothing could be possible. The only thing he could rely on was his own hands, holding the wooden board and slowly rubbing the edge of the ice layer across the swamp water below.
"Hiss! So cold!" There is no doubt that the person who said this sentence was extremely bloated and sat on the ice. As a native black dwarf, Armand, not that he had never seen ice, but he had never lie on the ice. Even though the body was covered with the same cold as a bear, Armand still felt a hint of chill spreading from under his butt to his body, but he didn't dare to stomp his feet hard because he was afraid that he would stomp his feet too hard and then he fell into the water. You know, Armand or most dwarfs are basically landslides, and the only result of falling into the water was to sink down.
Although Armand would be caught soon even if he fell into the water, he definitely did not want to drink a few sips of extremely dirty swamp water, nor did he want to lie on the ice wet surface, which would be a death. Of course, not everyone was waving the wooden boards as paddlers, and at least a few people were holding weapons to watch. After all, they didn't know if there were fishmen who would come to attack. If there were no doubt people who were paddling, it would be the most dangerous.
In fact, what Chen Kai is most worried about is that the fishmen are swimming under the water now, and then when the board falls into the water, they instantly grab the board and pull it into the water. Of course, before that, they must overcome the damage to the cold lake water, and the closer they get to the ice layer, the lower the water temperature. Although such a huge ice cube is absolutely impossible to reduce the surrounding water temperature a lot during movement. However, when the water flows through the front and then flows out from the rear, it will always be mixed with some fine broken ice. This shows how low the temperature of the water body under the ice surface is after a distance of cooling.
Although the surrounding lake water will quickly heat up the cold and even ice-clamped lake water again, the water temperature in this area will still be quite low in a short time. So in a short time, the fishmen could only monitor the surroundings from afar, without the idea of rushing up to pull the people wielding the wooden board into the water. Because there are only less than a dozen left now, these fishmen would never dare to rush up to die before the large army came to support them. There is no doubt that the frozen storm released by the elves has scared these fishmen to their core. The water of the swamp lake is like a bathtub for them. In this wasteland swamp, these fishmen have never been bullied in the swamp. Even in the mud, they can swim easily, but now they are frozen into ice in the most familiar water.
Hundreds of fishmen launched an attack, but they were frozen into seventy or eighty ice sculptures under one blow. Only the twenty fish on the outermost periphery escaped by chance. In this situation, and the captain of the fishmen who led the team all gloriously turned into ice lumps, the remaining fishmen naturally did not dare to continue launching the attack, so they could only send people to swim back and call for reinforcements.
Although the fishmen swam very fast, it took several kilometers to go back and forth even a few minutes at the fastest. In addition, it took a quarter of an hour to gather people to appear behind Chen Kai and the others. However, at this time, Chen Kai and others had already been in the spot for a long distance. The ice cubes used as boats made Chen Kai and the others move much faster, and the wooden board paddle acceleration. In less than a quarter of an hour, the group moved at least nearly three kilometers. So when the fishmen chased behind Chen Kai and the others, several minutes passed.
Originally, Chen Kai and the others were in the central area of the entire wasteland swamp, which was a relatively low-lying place, so when the flood came, it was a vast ocean. But when they gradually left the center of the swamp, the depth of the water began to slowly decrease. After being educated, the two flying dragons stopped playing and flew along straight lines almost according to their physiological instincts, which avoided the embarrassment of Chen Kai and the others taking a detour in the swamp. After these roads, Chen Kai and the others were now very close to the edge of the swamp, and the water surface under the ice layer became shallower and shallower. When the fishmen appeared behind the back, the water surface was so shallow that it was less than one meter.
This situation has not changed much for Chen Kai and the others, because even if the water depth is only one meter, they can only stay on the ice. However, for the fish people chasing behind them, shallow water means that they have a higher chance of being discovered. When they approached a few hundred meters behind Chen Kai and others, the thorns standing on the water surface under the shallow water surface were simply the most obvious sign.
So Fei Yun, who had been slashing the wooden board hard, threw the board and directly put the heavy crossbow on the ice surface and pulled the trigger. Three trained armor-piercing crossbow arrows shot out instantly and directly penetrated a fishman who jumped out of the water and threw a spear in front of him. The sharp crossbow arrows directly penetrated the fishman's head and knocked out the gum-like brain matter directly from the other party's head.
There is no doubt that the fishman troops that were chasing this time were definitely a large army. When the number of three or four hundred fishmans emerged from the water, Chen Kai felt a rapid breath. The only good news was that these fishman did not get close to throw a powerful trident, otherwise Chen Kai would have to jump into the swamp lake. Chen Kai estimated that the reason why these fishmans did not get close to was probably still taking into account the power of the frozen storm, but they did not know that Chen Kai and the others did not have the ability to release the same spell again. Several elf mages are now lying in the carriage, and the only elf caster is Evelyn, who is shaking and sneezing in the quilt.
Although this elf girl has plenty of magic power, she can master very few spells, and Chen Kai expressed his helplessness about this. If this elf girl is a little more powerful, she might be a very good and powerful long-range spell unit. Unfortunately, the best spell she masters is only natural plants, which is better for being a gardener than for being a mage. The long-range attack method is a pity that the less powerful one is pitiful. There is no doubt that the elf girl is definitely a pacifist. Of course, it is actually because her father, Ilian, did not teach her many attack spells, so as not to cause trouble for her daughter.
However, the result of this approach is that Evelyn now has the most powerful long-range attack method, which is a poor natural ray with little power. After hitting the target, it will cause moss or other plants to grow on the other person's face. It seems that the effect of prank is much better than the killing effect, and the elf girl wrapped in a quilt all over her body cannot even release this natural ray at this moment. Because she sneezes and runny noses are much longer than the time she casts and chants, and she almost retaliates against herself because of sneezing several times because of her sneezing. So Chen Kai and the others do not expect this elf girl, and can only rely on their own strength to repel the attacks of those fishmen.
For the dwarves, the shallow swamp lake water made their hit rate significantly increase. It can be said that the confidence of these dwarves began to completely recover as the water became shallower. The only problem is that the distance between the fishmen was a little farther. If you want to hit the target, you can only use the old-fashioned dwarves muskets. This musket is much smaller than the muskets modified by these black dwarves themselves, and the most important thing is that this musket is not an overall bullet but an ordinary lead bullet.
Under the push of magic crystal gunpowder, the lead bullet can fly farther away. However, the accuracy is as bad as death. Therefore, dwarves can only use ferry guns to shoot to improve the hit rate. But what is more tragic is that the lethality of lead bullets is really limited, and even if they hit the target, they will only cause less than a thousand points to the opponent, unless they hit the eyeball directly. Otherwise, the damage is really low.
So although the dwarves were fiery in the fire of gunfire, and the waters that were hit at the same time would occasionally appear, the situation so far is that only blood flowers are seen but no corpse floats up. However, Fei Yun has at least shot five fishmen to death in the water with the terrifying power of the heavy crossbow.
Unfortunately, there are still many fishmen now. Chen Kai even saw the appearance of those fishmen casters lurking in the water. Although he didn't know what those fishmen were holding wooden sticks for, the water elements slowly gathered around explained what the identity of these fishmen holding sticks were.
"Be careful of spell attack!" Almost as Chen Kai finished reminding, water flows filled with water element breath pounced on the ice. The water flow that shot in the burst was full of terrible impact. It seemed that there was not much damage, but if it was hit and spit out blood, it would be the lightest.
The only good news for Chen Kai and others is that there are only a dozen fishman casters, and the shallow swamp lake water makes these fishman casters completely exposed to the water when they cast their spells. So while they pour out their spells, the dwarves also began to pour ammunition at them with their guns in their hands. Although the continuous guns could not kill these fishman mages, the dwarves attacked with spells effectively made the fishman casters with bubbles in their mouths shut. The only bad news is that the dwarves did not store many fixed-loaded paper-shell bullets at all. The guns slowly sparse less than three minutes after the guns rang, and finally completely silenced.
During this time, the dwarves fired at least 120 lead bombs, but unfortunately they caused very little damage, and even a crispy fishman caster was not killed. The fishman was blown away by the bullets. But the problem was that no fishman warrior died because of this. After a period of testing, the fishman found that Chen Kai and the others did not seem to be able to release spells, so a small group of fishmans were sent to gradually approach the ice.
Although it was a small team, looking at the gradually splashing water and the towering thorns, Chen Kai roughly estimated the number and found that at least five fingers were close to the fisherman. Of course, it was definitely not five, but a number multiplied by ten. The number that did not seem to be huge was relative to the entire fisherman army. For Chen Kai and others, even if there were only fifty fish, it was a force that made Chen Kai frown. Chen Kai was most worried that these fisherman used extremely barbaric methods, that is, to throw attacks with tridents in the distance.
Fortunately, these fishmen cooperated very well and did not use it at a distance of 100 meters, which made Chen Kai feel scared, but slowly approached within 100 meters. These fishmen were not worried about the dwarf's muskets, because the dwarf's muskets did not cause much damage to them before, but they did not find that all the dwarfs had changed their weapons at this moment. The original old muskets were stuffed into the space bag. Then the new muskets made by these dwarf muskets themselves were the dwarf muskets with great power and near range.
Although the range of these muskets is a little problem, when these fishmen approach, they undoubtedly enter the range of these extremely powerful muskets. If they were still hiding in the water, the dwarf's accurate head might be almost there, but most fishmen are charging in the water. The shaking big heads are very easy to aim at. So with the fierce gunshots, seven or eight fishmen who were originally charging fell down instantly.
However, the dense gunfire did not stop the footsteps of these fishmen, but instead made them even more fierce. These fishmen began to charge with extremely strange vortex sounds, and the weapons in their hands began to waving. There is no doubt that the weapons in the hands of these fishmen were definitely not the items sold by Chen Kai and the others, because Chen Kai had checked those tridents, which were definitely excellent quality things, and at least they were green and even blue.
Chen Kai doesn't think he will fall in love with his own garbage, which can make hundreds of warriors equipped with excellent weapons. Although these fishmen do not hold tridents in their hands, the long swords that emit cold light are also high-end products.
"These guys who should be made into grilled fish!" Chen Kai's eyes flashed with anger, but unfortunately he had no way to use the roaring fishmen rushing over. There is no doubt that these fishmen are like cannon fodder. Although they look very powerful, their ultimate goal is to test whether Chen Kai and the others have that terrible spell in their hands. If there is, it doesn't matter if they sacrifice these fishmen. If there is no such congratulations, the next step is to charge more intensively. Because even if these cannon fodder fishmen are garbage, they can definitely rush to Chen Kai and the others to tremble. Even if Chen Kai is preparing to leave the spell to use it on the fishmen behind, it will not be possible to cover his own people into the spell range.
The problem is that Chen Kai has no spell scrolls in his hand. If it were any, it would have hit the foreheads of these fishmen. Of course, although there was no spell scroll, he still waved his hand to signal He Liwen and Bai Shasha to prepare. When the fishmen approached the ice, a layer of black oil floated on the water surface around them. When these fishmen approached madly, He Liwen pointed her finger directly and then a large spider web directly covered the bodies of these fishmen. Of course, the effect of the spider web technique in the water was definitely a discount of unknown how many discounts were given, but only if you need to buy some time for Bai Shasha, He Liwen's purpose was achieved.
