Chapter 891 122. Fishman
Doing this requires trust, but if they don’t believe it, they have no other choice.
Bigger is the most promising person to return to the surface safely from the underground river. The best option is for Bigger to send the news back, while Annan and others stay here to gather survivors and wait for rescue.
But Annan couldn't completely believe the three archmages. What if he doesn't say anything after he goes out?
The devil's contract only restricted them from betraying and harming Annan, but it did not say that they could not ignore death...
"I want to come with you too!" The daughter of Durikan suddenly said.
"It's safer for you to stay here."
Annan said, but Black Widow objected: "She is a witness to the Devil's Gate. Only by taking her out can we prove our words."< br>
"Then let me, Big, and she go out. Who else wants to come with us?"
"Me."
"I'm with you."
Black Widow and Brinor Janna said in unison.
"You are injured."
Brino Janna's condition is not getting worse, but it may not be possible if she soaks in the cold underground river for a while...
"It's nothing."
"Believe me, even if I am injured, I am stronger than everyone else."
They said at the same time.
Annan was worried, but couldn't resist them, so he had to tie the two together with hemp rope and seriously warned:
"You two are very important to me, so work together. Get out alive.”
The corners of Black Widow’s lips curved at this moment: “I believe your promise now”
Annan didn't react: "What promise?"
"Take us to Liberty City to start a new life."
Annan chuckled: "Only a fool like Lloyd would doubt my sincerity. "
Annan even suspected that he was hiding from her on purpose. Otherwise, why were Black Widow and Bigger around, but Lloyd was nowhere to be seen?
Annan, Bigger, the daughter of Durikan, Black Widow and Brinor Janna. Annan picked two more powerful mages from the evil army, making up the total of seven people.
Annan left them the food in the magic ring and most of the magic scrolls, including the few remaining fireball spells, and warned: "You clean up the traces, hide here, and collapse the cave when necessary."
The women looked at it with curiosity and fascination. They had never seen a noble who cared so much about his subordinates...
"Let's go!"
Annan did not hesitate to tear him apart. Turn on underwater breathing, dark vision, and magic shield scrolls, and be the first to jump into the icy underground river.
First, the freezing cold underground river cut his skin like a razor. Then, the rushing river made Annan instantly disoriented, passively rolling with the ups and downs of the current.
Even with underwater breathing, breathing in extremely cold river water is extremely difficult. Dark vision was completely useless as Annan rolled over. Only the magic shield flashed a faint blue light from time to time, which meant that Annan blocked the rocks washed by the current or the rocks of the river bed.
This section of the underground river is not very long. After about three minutes, the water began to soften, and Annan could even surface and see the underground caves on the river.
Crash——
Annan turned around and saw no one else, only the daughter of Durikan slowly floating over.
"Where are the others!" Annan shouted to her.
"I don't know!" the Daughter of Durikan shouted, suddenly screaming.
Before Annan could react, the river suddenly surged and dragged Annan into the river.
He struggled to surface and saw the daughter of Durikan getting farther and farther away from him, being taken to another river by the forked underground river and disappearing into the dark underground.
The water in Annan's underground river is churning in the river, like wild dragons, rolling up white waves, making roaring sounds, and forming countless rapids and whirlpools.
The power of water was completely released here. Annan was overturned by the undercurrent, rolled into death by the whirlpool, slapped around by rocks, and bruised and swollen by his own arms. Without the magic shield, Annan wouldn't be bruised and swollen.
Distinguishing direction has become a luxury. The only thing Annan can do is to continue to meditate and stare at the stagnant magic vortex, but he still cannot cast spells... Damn it, how big is the scope of the dark rift!
The rushing river seemed to have no end, taking Annan deeper and deeper. The worst thing was that the three magics were about to expire...
When Annan was about to meditate again, a strange picture appeared The fishman's face suddenly appeared in front of him.
GuluLulu——
Annan was so frightened that a string of bubbles appeared. Just as he was about to say something, the dark vision and magic shield flickered and lost their effect.
Caught off guard, Annan swallowed a large mouthful of water. The cold river water filling his lungs made him hunched over in pain, and he had no time to pay attention to the fish-man disappearing in the darkness. Then, the rolling Annan hit a protruding rock and passed out silently.
…
“Cough…cough…”
The first thing Annan did when he regained consciousness was to cough hard.
He coughed up nothing, but he felt better and had time to pay attention to his situation.
The hands are tied behind the back with something as smooth as fish tendons. The magic lamp placed next to it illuminates this cramped cave very close to the water source. The style of the magic lamp is very familiar...
Annan I touched my index finger and found that the magic ring was gone.
Crash——
Pah, pah, pah —
"Wow wow wow--"
The fish-man got into the cave, and Annan saw the true face of the fish-man who made the funny cry: two protruding and dull eyes, and the smooth dark green skin reflected the light of the magic lamp. It is light, with slender limbs, translucent webs attached to its fingers, and a stooped back like a ratman with a dorsal fin from the top of its head to its tail.
"I don't understand." Annan shook his head.
Although he was caught, the fishman "saved" him.
“Wow wow wow——”
The fishman's flippers clicked on the ground, and he jumped and said. After Annan continued to shake his head, he turned around and got back into the water.
Not long after, it reappeared, this time followed by a male Naga.
This naga resembled a human, but looked like a snake's tail from the waist down. It was holding a broad-bladed sword. It was burly, twice as tall as the fish-man beside it, and squirmed in front of Annan.
Annan suddenly thought of the traces of sea water on the hills... Are those traces of Naga?
Looking at the broad-bladed sword, Annan knew where his magic ring was.
"Human race, why do you have... from my race..."
Naga's common language is not very fluent. It couldn't think of the word, so it took out the magic ring and took out a blood pearl.
"I helped a sea monster free itself from pain. These blood pearls were left to me by her." Annan raised his head, trying to be sincere.
"I can't prove...your words."
Annan really can't prove that the body of the sea monster was given to the princess for use by him, and the blood pearl is more like stolen goods than a gift... …
"I...believe you."
Annan raised his head in surprise.
Warlocks have a bad reputation for a reason.
For example, they have nowhere to place their charm.
