I think you can't even imagine the happiness of a warlock.

Chen Zhou's home is not far from the high cliff of Wanghai where Haiou Pavilion is located, but there are still many obstacles along the way.

Facing a large number of fish-man ghosts that appeared inexplicably, most people stayed in their rooms decisively, leaving their life and death to random fate.

So when the three of them went out together, they quickly attracted several waves of ghosts.

Fortunately, the three people on the road were not ordinary people who were in a hurry. The immortal aura and gaze emitted by the ghost did not mean much to them.

The ice knife that has been oiled by alchemy and strengthened into a secondary magic weapon can easily cut off the incoming ghosts, and the alchemical bomb made by combining it can also blow up a group of enemies within a few meters.

As for Natya, after the first few symbolic shots of the light crossbow that missed her grandma's house failed to make any achievements, she had no choice but to put away the weapon and start paddling.

After all, just following Chen Zhou's steps was already very difficult for the two of them.

While on the road, Chen Zhou found that his XP points had reached the upper limit due to the first dozen ghosts.

It's just that after the XP was accumulated to 3000/3000, surprisingly nothing happened, and there was no in-situ upgrade.

It's probably just a restriction used to restrict the complexity of exchange knowledge.

In order to avoid waste, he unlocked some knowledge that he cared about every time when his XP was close to the upper limit, and deliberately saved some.

By the time this incident is over, he will have enough knowledge to learn how to produce magic items.

At least the commonly used life spells such as light spell and magic tricks, which are not very demanding on the caster level, should be made into magic items for immediate use. Chen Zhou thought, so that he can replace his own spells with more meaningful ones. Powerful spells...

"There seem to be a little less ghosts." Natya, who was relatively leisurely, suddenly said.

Ten minutes later, the three of them were walking halfway and gradually realized that the frequency of attacks by Kuo Tao fishman ghosts had decreased.

"It feels so peaceful. There are no Kuo-Toa ghosts on the streets. It's so different from my neighborhood."

Chen Zhou nodded. He was now almost certain that the three turtle grandsons had definitely paid special attention to him.

but……

He immediately looked up at the Adventurer's Guild standing on a high cliff a thousand meters away.

In the deep dark night, little bits of magical starlight and blue shadows kept flashing.

I am afraid that the nearby Kuo Tao fishman ghosts have focused their attention on Wanghai Cliff.

But those are no longer important.

Even his "good" neighbor, the level 1 alchemist Kaji, can destroy a small group of ghosts with a bouncing bomb. As a formal caster of level 3, the president of Haiguuting can naturally kill it with his eyes closed, seven into seven. out.

"Speaking of which, Kaji, your bombs are very powerful. Why did you need my help in the first place?"

Chen Zhou suddenly realized that the ghosts he had solved at the beginning were no problem for the alchemist.

Hearing this, Kaji was inevitably a little embarrassed: "Then I can deal with them only if they get together, otherwise they will attack from all directions at the same time. I don't have any good ideas for the time being."

It was impossible for him to fight in his own shop, as even nine lives would not be enough.

Chen Zhou subconsciously imagined the scene of dozens or hundreds of bombs exploding at the same time... He must use wild arcane magic to protect himself before going home and going to bed!

After a while, the three finally arrived at the foot of Wanghai Cliff, and only then could they clearly see the things flickering above the guild - dozens of ghosts, which were the result of the guild members' efforts to reduce the number.

The guild leader seems to be absent?

Seeing this, the dwarf accelerated his pace excitedly. The battle was not over yet, which meant that he still had a chance to sell the potion to the adventurers of the guild!

Natya, who paddled silently, was three minutes slower, hoping that the battle would be over by the time he got there.

Chen Zhou further confirmed a detail after carefully observing the Kuo Tao fishman ghosts above the guild and combining them with the ghosts he had encountered before.

"Natya, not all the Kuo-Toa are soldiers, right? There should be a large number of old, weak, women and children in their tribe?"

At least all the fish-man ghosts Chen Zhou encountered so far seemed to be transformed from old, weak, women and children without any fighting ability.

"of course."

The mage nodded. Since this is the case, how can there be a race with all professionals in this world?

Even if they existed, they wouldn't be Kuo-Tao fishmen. Otherwise, coastal cities like these in the human kingdom would have been razed to the ground long ago and become the ovaries for hatching that kind of humanoid monster!

Chen Zhou was thoughtful, which meant that what the three adventurers meant by "slaughtering the Kuo Tao fish tribe" should refer to the slaughter of non-combatants.

They had to take advantage of the murlocs' lack of combat power, or deliberately divert the murloc army to do this.

So once the large army of Kuo-Toa return to the tribe and find that all the old, weak, women and children have been slaughtered, and the resentment is so high that the dead have even turned into ghosts and been bound into foreign objects, what will they do...

There is no need to deliberately investigate. When the three of them climbed Wanghai Cliff and occupied a commanding height with a better view——

Then I saw that on the seaside of Fanhua Port, there were dense green and black figures rushing to the land like a tide. While sweeping everything on the shore, they headed towards the deeper land!

The revenge of the Kuo-Toa tribe is coming!

"It's Kuroshio!"

Natya, who has lived in the port for a long time, immediately confirmed the situation: "Damn it, isn't it enough to have the ghosts of the fishmen? How could the Kuo Tao fishmen attack the Flower Port in this season!"

The so-called Kuroshio is the spectacular sight of more than a dozen Kuo-Tao fish tribes gathering their forces to attack coastal areas at the same time.

Every winter, when the blizzard is approaching, those human-like fish-like monsters that believe in evil gods will carry out the final robbery at the end of the year.

Not only for food rations, but also for the purpose of plundering the residents who were at a low point due to winter for human sacrifice.

"Winter? Aren't fishmen afraid of the cold?" Chen Zhou felt that late autumn was a good time to plunder.

Natya shook his head and explained: "The sea cools down more slowly than the land. When the civilians in Fanhua Port were unable to move due to the cold wind, the Kuo Tao fish who preserved their body temperature in the sea still maintained relatively good health. combat power."

When winter comes, the fighting ability of the fishmen can only be said to be acceptable, but the humans are in terrible shape.

One goes and the other goes, and many people are lost to the black tide every year.

But now the black tide is coming early in the summer night.

Fanhua Port will not be captured in one fell swoop because of the rush, but the population on the coast will definitely not have time to move.

"But this isn't right?" Kaji looked at the defense line composed of soldiers on the coast in confusion. "The reason why the fishmen plundered in winter is because the two gods of their faith prefer winter sacrifices. Why did they come this summer? ”

Summer's sacrifice will not receive full feedback, and the Kuo Tao fishmen will lose their lives and fish mouths in large-scale battles. This is completely a choice that outweighs the gains.

Chen Zhou sighed helplessly. Who would have thought that the cause of an incident of this magnitude was because the three adventurers failed to earn funeral expenses and pensions for the deceased mage...

No, they are so ruthless, why would they still care about their dead teammates?
