The Wizard: Starting by Scamming the Demon God

Page 80

Until evening, Isaac only saw three groups of adventurers; the rest of the time he was scavenging corpses everywhere!

He took back what he said earlier; the heads of the sea creatures here could be exchanged for a lot of money, not just a pittance!

With so many people picking up corpses everywhere, you'd think this was a bar!

By 8 p.m. on the first night of the island battle, Isaac had earned over 300 gold coins by exchanging the heads of the sea creatures!

That's a whole month's worth of food money!

And that doesn't even include the other spoils!

He loves sea creatures!

The sea creatures are so wonderful!

Chapter 124 Mouse: Am I really that smart?

Night had fallen, but the fighting on the island did not stop; on the contrary, it intensified!

Because nighttime is not bad for everyone!

Especially for the sea creatures, many of them only officially landed on the island at this time, since darkness is the norm in the deep sea, and they have long been accustomed to it.

However, this did not affect Isaac at all; in fact, it made things even smoother, because at night, there were more mosquitoes, and the blood mosquitoes among them were even more concealed.

And so, the first night passed in Isaac's silent hunt.

Besides hunting, he also met up with Liuli and checked on the rats' condition.

Compared to his smooth progress, it was the mouse's situation that truly surprised him!

In just one day, it had already charmed more than thirty non-ranked monsters and more than ten rank one monsters with the Whisper of the Gods. According to Liuli, this was only because some were accidentally hunted down by adventurers and sea creatures at the beginning; otherwise, it would have been a third more!

But what surprised Isaac the most was that the skeleton magic that the mouse had been working on had actually yielded some results, and now it was able to create some small skeleton soldiers!

Although it is currently limited to its own mouse-like shape, this is a huge step forward. The most difficult part is always the process of going from 0 to 1.

To be honest, they truly deserve to be called a divine race. Even though they were created through artificial modification, they are still the race with the greatest potential!

At least in Shushu, he has seen enough potential. His future achievements may not be inferior to those of the Holy Lord and Liuli!

Of course, all of this is contingent on it maintaining its current momentum and not dying.

The next day, Isaac continued hunting sea creatures, and after another day, he had amassed over three hundred gold coins!

However, there were far fewer other spoils of war, or almost none at all.

Unlike sea creatures, adventurers come here to make money. By the second day, those who found it difficult had retreated back to the Noy family's ship and withdrawn from the battle. Those who remained were all powerful adventurers, making them much more difficult to kill.

It was through these sea creatures that Isaac first witnessed what a great noble family was!

In the past two days and one night, he has killed nearly a thousand sea creatures, most of whom were first-tier, a few were second-tier, and there were almost no ordinary sea creatures who did not reach the tier. And this is only the sea creatures that Isaac killed on one island.

Moreover, even on this island, so many adventurers continued to fight for two days and one night without decreasing their numbers, which is enough to show the terrifying war prowess of the sea tribes!

It's important to understand that back then, the Solomon territory had to exert all its strength against just 8,000 first-tier demonic black orcs. If it weren't for Isaac's ruthless use of the evil god ritual, which gave the territory a chance to breathe, they would have suffered heavy losses even if they had managed to survive.

Meanwhile, the southern part of the empire has remained as stable as Mount Tai for many years!

This is enough to show how formidable his strength is!

"Pfft~"

Another wind blade severed the head of a sea creature. Isaac glanced in the direction of East Harbor, feeling somewhat sentimental. He then stretched his limbs, realizing it was about time for the rats to launch their final attack.

Although taking action now was not in Isaac's plan, he naturally wanted to lend a hand since the mouse had finally fought for it.

"Ow!!!"

"Roar!!"

……

As night fell, a series of violent auras emanated from a corner of the woods, accompanied by frequent rustling sounds that sent chills down one's spine!

"Watch out! Monsters are coming! They're two wild boars!"

"boom!"

In a corner of the woods, a group of sea creature warriors were carefully walking through the trees, each carrying a harpoon. Suddenly, their expressions changed, and they turned to look to the side. They saw two huge wild boars charging towards them with heavy steps and a rumbling sound!

"Phew~ Two wild boars, no problem." The leader of the sea creature team was a sharkman, a second-tier sharkman.

In terms of both rank and racial strength, he was stronger than the demonized wild boar, so after seeing who it was, he revealed a disdainful smile and lowered his arms that were across his chest.

"No! It's not just wild boars! There are rats too! Lots of rats!" The sea creature in charge of reconnaissance's expression changed instantly!

Soon, not only him, but the other sea creatures also changed their expressions, because the rats did not conceal their actions. A vast swarm of rats followed closely behind the wild boar. Even though they were not good at reconnaissance, the rustling sound entered their ears like thunder!

"Don't panic! They're just ordinary rats!" The first to calm down was still the shark captain. He waved his hand, and a sword aura flew out from the fin at his elbow, cutting the two wild boars in two. Then, with his breathing, black energy like water surged from his body and quickly covered his entire body.

The Flowing Water Breathing Technique originates from the deep-seated breathing methods of the sea creatures. It is said to be an extraordinary power bestowed upon all sea creatures by the sea god, and it is also the symbol of the sea creatures; otherwise, they could only be called fish-men.

However, the term "breathing with flowing water" is used by humans; within the sea creatures, it is called "blessing with flowing water."

This breathing technique allows sea creatures to unleash 100% of their power, including some combat skills that require water flow to perform. As long as this breathing technique is activated, these skills can also be used on land, although the energy consumption will increase significantly.

The shark-man's actions seemed to be a signal, and the other sea creatures were also wrapped in water armor one after another. Each of them had different powers, so the number of water streams they summoned also varied.

Despite their serious expressions, they weren't actually panicked. They were used to human wave tactics, and compared to the sea tactic where enemies surrounded them from all sides, they didn't feel much pressure from this beast tide on land that only came from one direction.

But this is the ground after all, and there are many things they don't know. They have too little intelligence, so it's always better to be cautious.

"coming!"

Soon, the swarm of rats approached them. The sea creatures breathed a sigh of relief the moment they saw the rats, because these were just ordinary rats with no magic power, so they were not worth mentioning. After all, even if they stood there and let the rats tear them apart, they could not break through their defenses at all!

However, the leader of the sharks frowned. Looking at the seemingly endless rats in front of him, the sharks felt that something was wrong. The first thing that was wrong was where did so many rats come from?

This wasn't the first time the sea creatures had participated in this new island battle, so they had some understanding of the rules. To increase the difficulty and make it more realistic, some monsters would indeed be randomly moved from other places to the island.

But this relocation isn't entirely random. First, it has to roughly fit the corresponding ecosystem, and that first point is all it takes to fail!

Although he hadn't been to the ground many times, he had never heard of any forest having so many rats!

Secondly, this mechanism basically only teleports monsters; it doesn't affect many ordinary animals without magic power...

Besides the question of their origin, there was something else about these rats that Sharkman couldn't quite put his finger on... He felt like he'd seen a similar aura somewhere before...

Moreover, he felt an instinctive aversion to these rats… and this feeling was familiar… like being in… the deep sea…

"Ok?"

Soon, he made contact with the first rat. Needless to say, it crashed into the shark-man's flowing armor and was instantly shredded into a bloody mist by the fine and rapid water flow!

The other rats were the same, being strangled one after another, their water armor unable to be broken. The expressions of the other sea creatures gradually relaxed, but the shark-man felt his unease grow heavier as more and more rats died at his hands.

Finally, when a trace of gray appeared inside his water armor, his expression changed...

He remembered what this thing was!

Undead!

The most terrifying species in the deep sea!

These guys are shrouded in a deathly magic that's like a plague; anyone who gets involved with them will either die or be maimed!

What's even more terrifying is that they are not only disgusting and powerful, but also have powerful backgrounds!

Behind each different undead race lies a different deep-sea evil god!

It can fight and shake!

He saw it once when he was a child, and it left a very deep impression on him!

However, the necromancy on these rats was different, and too faint for him to realize at first. But as he continued to kill the rats, the faint necromancy gradually accumulated, and that's when he remembered.

"Everyone! Run! Don't fight! They're undead!!!" The shark-man, realizing what was happening, immediately shouted and quickly chose a direction to rush out!

Although the other sea creatures had never seen an undead before, they obviously knew what an undead was, and their expressions changed instantly. They followed closely behind the shark man, preparing to break through the encirclement with him.

However, it was already too late. Although the rats were certainly not as fast as them, in just a short while, the rat swarm had surrounded them from all directions. No matter which direction they went, they would run into a bunch of rats, and then their water armor would automatically kill any rats they came into contact with!

"cough~"

Soon, the first victim appeared. He paused, coughed, and spat out a lot of blood. He knelt weakly on the ground, his face full of despair.

This cough seemed to be a signal, and one after another, the sea creatures knelt down on the ground, some even bleeding from their eyes and ears!

A sense of despair gradually rose in the shark man's heart, because something was also starting to go wrong within his body...

Normally, while necromancy is terrifying, it wouldn't be like this. After all, they are superhumans, and they can simply isolate it with their own energy. In fact, if the necromancy is weak, it can even be obliterated.

but……

That's in the sea!

Now, when they are on the ground and use the Water Armor, they subconsciously let it flow into their bodies, not only for comfort, but also because this is how they can unleash the full power of the Water Breathing Technique.

People on land have used this characteristic to poison them before, but toxins are very easy to neutralize. After all, the water only flows through their bodies. As long as they are careful not to let the toxins come into contact with their bodies, it is easy for sea creatures, since they have been playing in the water since birth.

But this time the enemy is very cunning!

They clearly studied their habits carefully!

Not only did they use the highly infectious death magic, but they also diluted it excessively, causing the death magic to flow through their bodies countless times without their knowledge!

So by the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late...

The shark-man glanced at his kin kneeling on the ground behind him, gradually being surrounded and covered by the rat swarm. He gritted his teeth, pushed off with his feet, and instantly escaped his kin's sight!

He's not afraid of death...

The magic of death flowed through his entire body. Although his condition was not as severe as that of his kin, it was already beyond saving. Even if he escaped the encirclement now, he would not escape death.

Therefore, he was not afraid of death.

But his fear of dying is utterly worthless!

He could die, but before he did, he had to tell his people about the surface dwellers' insidious plan so they could react in time, or the consequences would be unimaginable!

Sharkmen are an excellent race, and he is a second-tier race with the ability to breathe water, making him stronger than most human knights. Therefore, he broke through the encirclement set up by the rats in just a few flashes.

As I said before, this is an extraordinary world, and human wave tactics are no match for advanced power!

Shark had been just as confident before, but now he understands that there's an additional condition—fighting fair and square.
