Lord of Arcane

Chapter 917

But if O'Brien wants to withdraw, that's not okay. Xia Duo can almost imagine the scene after O'Brien's withdrawal-the murlocs frantically going south along the Wolfburg River, and it's really out of control!

He quickly stopped the other party, bowed, and begged: "Elder O'Brien, please hold on for a while. There are so many murlocs, and they can't be killed. There can be no reason. I will cast a spell to search for one or two, and then I will take over with the elder." , now I'd like to trouble the elder to work harder, Xia Duo is very grateful!"

The etiquette used by Shaduo can be regarded as a great gift among elves in ancient times. Coupled with the status of an arcanist, O'Brien is quite useful. Although he didn't directly agree to it, he also used actions to surface everything.

Seeing this, Xia Duo's sense of urgency receded slightly, but the situation was still not optimistic. It was really a headache to see the murlocs constantly attacking the human defense line and swearing to the death.

"Niya, Mind Link, come and investigate. I'll find a way to clear up some of the murlocs here!" Xia Duo looked at the surrounding scene and said to Niya.

Niya also knew that the situation was urgent, so she responded, and after Xia Duo cast a spell to connect with each other, she retreated to the position where Bishop Ambrill was.

It is not far from the building where the portal is located, and it is not far from the river bank, but it is actually the rear. The bishop is leading the priests of the temple here to heal the soldiers and restore their strength.

Seeing that Niya had retreated to a safe place, Xia Duo felt relieved and came to the side of Eberke on the bank. At this time, Eberke had just cast a spell to freeze the river, giving the soldiers on the defense line a break.

Under normal circumstances, without external interference, this kind of freezing can last for a long time, but now it can only be used as a means of delay.

The murlocs on the surface of the floating water were frozen, but not yet underwater, and at the edge of the ice in the north, murlocs had already climbed onto the ice.

On this layer of ice covered with fish heads, the murlocs were waddlingly moving towards the human side. Seeing that they kept coming to die even without any armor or weapons, Xia Duo felt overwhelmed. There was a chill.

It's really just letting you kill, let you chop, and you will be exhausted to death!

But in fact, the murloc's attack power is not necessarily small, their claws are natural weapons, before Xia Duo saw the murlocs desperately rushing to the front of the human formation, disregarding any defense just to "touch" the human.

Most of the wounded soldiers in the rear were scratched by murlocs, which wasn't too serious, but it only affected the combat power little by little. When it reached a certain level, the human side would definitely collapse.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo felt a sense of urgency in his heart. At this moment, Niya's perception information of detecting spells was received by Xia Duo through the mind link.

In this information, the first thing Xia Duo noticed was the location where the murloc tide was blocked. O'Brien's spell was not a simple and rude block, but similar to a plane barrier!
Even if the murlocs tried their best to swim southward, from the perspective of a bystander, they couldn't make any progress. In fact, this also restrained a considerable number of murlocs.

In addition, this spell does not block the water flow, it just makes the murlocs paddle in the water and cannot move forward.

This is probably some kind of special enchantment spell. If there is an opportunity to communicate with O'Brien, Xia Duo thought so, and then commanded Nya to move the perception field of the detection spell northward in the mind link.

At this time, Xia Duo finally discovered the direct reason why the murlocs did not leave a corpse.

In the north of this bend where the Wolfburg River passes the former site of the Tower of Time, there are some special existences among the densely packed murlocs in the river.

Xia Duo didn't notice it at first, but the further north he went, the more prominent these special existences were - monsters made up of murloc corpses and aquatic plants!

It is even more exaggerated than the aquatic giant that Xia Duo saw in Mecht Lake before, it is simply a "stitch monster"!
It seems that humans not only have to deal with murlocs, but also murloc corpses, killing two monsters with one monster. If this is in the game and can get "experience points", that would be fine, but in reality, if this happens, it will It's disgusting!
Fortunately, it hasn't been long since the murloc outbreak (arrived in Savile Town), and there are not many "combined corpses" appearing, and we don't know how strong these "combined corpses" are.

But the living murlocs are like that, and the corpses are unlikely to be stronger. At most, they have an advantage in size. What's more, if they are connected by aquatic plants, whether they can go ashore is also a problem!
Compared with the terrifying number of murlocs almost all over the river, Xia Duo was not too worried about these corpses. As long as there is no advantage in numbers, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can be destroyed with a backhand.

……

And while Xia Duo was synchronously perceiving the results of Niya's detection, he did not forget what he said before to clean up some murlocs first.

However, just like Eberke who was struggling next to him, Xia Duo was also struggling with how to get rid of these murlocs.

Especially when they saw the "combined corpse" of the murlocs, they must give priority to the method that can dispose of the corpse together.

There is no such method, but it is not worth it to deal with the almost endless murlocs.

But no matter what, it is always right to boost morale first.

Although Eberke's frozen river has reduced the frequency of murloc attacks, but this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. The murlocs don't care at all, and they are still continuously attacking the human defense line.

In other words, as long as the root cause of the almost infinite number of murlocs is not solved, any method will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

It will take some time for Niya to find out, and Xia Duo doesn't care if it's a temporary solution or not. With a simple finger, the magic flying sword hidden in the dark suddenly shoots into the water, and shuttles back and forth under the water.

The blood of the murlocs was also red, but the river had already been muddy by a large number of murlocs, and with the bloodstains from the previous battlefield, Xia Duo's operation did not reveal any strange phenomena.

However, the murloc's offensive came to a halt. After those who climbed onto the ice and came to the shore were killed, not a single murloc climbed onto the ice again for quite a while.

Abeck on the side was stunned immediately, he looked at Xia Duo in a daze, and subconsciously said: "Xia Duo, what kind of magic is this?"

In fact, he wasn't sure if it was magic at all, because there wasn't any magical aura, but what could it be if it wasn't magic that could cause such a battle result?

In this regard, Xia Duo just smiled slightly, and did not explain. He did not intend to let others know about the existence of the magic flying sword for the time being.

After all, the lethality of this thing is too great, even he himself has no good precautions, how could it be easy for others to know! (Creativity is the main thing, others are easy to introduce new ones, and it is more difficult to prevent)
Don't put everyone in danger when the time comes, then he, the instigator, may suffer!

Just use it yourself!
