Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 190 Fishing
Richard was puzzled by the strange appearance of the Red Fish Man, and the beating bright red fish eggs behind it made Richard even more uneasy.

He controlled his hunter's eye and tried to bypass the red fish man to explore the fish eggs.

But as soon as his hunter's eye swam near the red fish man, the red fish man sank vigilantly and used his body to protect the fish eggs firmly.

"Hmm?" Richard frowned. He controlled the Hunter's Eye to circle around the red fish eggs, but couldn't find any gaps to get in.

"Wait a minute... this is!"

Richard was shocked to find that under the red fish man there were many small fish men the size of monkeys. Each of these small fish men was holding fish, conchs, crabs, squids and other marine creatures in their arms.

They carried these marine creatures into the bodies of the Red Fish Man and melted them. After a while, they would come out holding white bones. They piled these white bones into a sedimentation pool in the sea. These bones slowly dissolved in the sedimentation pool and turned into cotton-like corpse snow, which they carried into the corpse snow layer in the lake.

As Richard looked around, he saw that small fishmen were constantly being generated in the red fishman's body. The small fishmen responsible for carrying things were only a small part of the total number of small fishmen. More small fishmen were searching for prey in the lake.

While Richard was observing, he happened to see a little fishman trying to hunt a shark but was defeated by the shark and bitten to death.

The dead little fishman's body trembled twice and quickly turned into a mass of blood-red flesh.

"Huh? So that's where those pieces of meat floating in the water came from." Richard's eyes lit up, and he roughly understood.

“The red fish man uses his own body to produce little fish men, and the little fish men hunt for creatures everywhere and bring them back for the red fish man and the red fish man’s eggs to eat.

The biological residues they left over from eating were used to cultivate corpse snow.

I observed that there were a large number of small fishmen, and their hunting efficiency was terrifying. With so many small fishmen, they should have hunted all the creatures in the lake long ago.

But now, these little fishmen can still return with full loads, there must be a problem."

Richard bit his finger and raised his brow.

"I remember that in Mohammed's memory, there were a lot of these red fish people. At least dozens of them.

But those red fishmen are only four times the size of ordinary fishmen, much smaller than this red fishman. Could it be that they have merged?"

Richard did not attack the Red Fish Man. He locked the Hunter's Eye on an innocent sea creature and used the Piercing Spear as a harpoon.

“Hunter’s Eye is the activation process for the Hunter’s Piercing Spear, not a professional reconnaissance method.

Although the Hunter's Eye has some reconnaissance magic effects, it is still too difficult to use it to explore the entire lake."

Richard shook his head, closed his eyes, and started mixing things in his soul.

The Seventh Dragon, Saairan, once said that the outcome of a battle is often decided before it begins.

The wizards and mages were not the reckless people on Burning Heights. They were always very enthusiastic about gathering intelligence. When it came to reconnaissance magic, mages were never short of it.

"Level 3 magic, echo."

pat.

Richard snapped his fingers, and an invisible ripple immediately spread under the water.

Richard closed his eyes and moved his ears slightly.

Level 3 magic, listen!

At that moment, all the light disappeared from Richard's eyes, and a picture composed of black and white appeared in Richard's mind.

All the lake water disappeared in the black and white picture, but countless fish and seaweed became extremely obvious.

Echo plus Listening. A very famous magic combination, echo magic can cause elemental vibrations in the surrounding environment, while listening magic can turn these environmental vibrations into black and white images that can be perceived by the mage.

The combination of these two magics can easily penetrate complex environments such as lakes, sea water, walls, forests, etc., and detect the distribution of living things in the environment.

The only problem is that echo magic has a hard time resonating with things that aren't moving, so echo plus listening can only detect things that are moving.

For example, the dead snow under the lake cannot be discovered by echo or listening.

But for Richard, who is now eager to find other Red Fish people, these two magics are just right.

In Richard's mind, the black and white underwater world was exceptionally clear, and he could see all the living things.

The red fish man was too big, not at the same level as the other creatures under the lake. Richard could see it clearly in his magical vision.

"One, two, three, four, five, six. Six. There are six red fishmen in total. Three of them are summoning small fishmen to produce corpse snow, and the other three are devouring the mud and soil in the lake to produce marine life!
Huh?! Even the marine life in the lake is produced by the Red Fish People?"

Richard frowned, realizing that things were not that simple. "The Mother of Hunters does not have any rules for producing marine life. Her rules are very simple tracking, without any other impurities, and she has no production ability at all, only destruction.

But these red fish people can produce marine life... They might be the subordinates left behind by another Outer God."

Richard stroked his chin and looked at these red fish people with more greed. Maybe he could gather some information about another Outer God from them.

An odyssey brings about a living brain worm with unlimited potential that can take up the banner of logistics.

A mother of hunters, she has already contributed two rule-level magics, and there is still countless potential waiting to be tapped.

These Outer Gods were full of treasures, and Richard was drooling with envy.

"If it was just one Red Fish Man, I could still try to forcefully attack, but with six Red Fish Man, it would be irrational to forcefully attack. The corpse snow mud restrains biological soldiers, but that doesn't mean it has no effect on inanimate soldiers.

That kind of corrosiveness alone is enough to give my puppet army and gargoyle army a hard time."

Richard tapped his fingers and looked at the saltwater lake, his eyes gradually becoming evil.

"A gentleman said, Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing take the bait. Those who are unwilling, if you can't catch electricity, you can just pump water!"

……

……

“Hey, hey!” “Hey, hey!”

"Come on, brothers! We'll be done soon. This is the first mission the warden has assigned to us. Let's show the warden our strength!"

Mohammed shouted at the top of his voice, not caring whether the fishmen could understand him or not.

Under his diligent command, the fishermen pushed the heavy mud blocks to the center of the river.

Boom! Chunks of mud closed in, blocking the river leading to the saltwater lake.

This is the last river. All the flows from the underground waters and the surface waters to the saltwater lakes have been cut off. Richard, who saw this scene from high in the sky, nodded, and the staff in his hand emitted a dazzling yellow light.

"The earth is shaking, the mountains are crumbling. Level 3 magic, the earth is shaking!"

The earth was shaking violently, as if a sleeping giant beast was suddenly awakened, making a deafening roar. The shore of the saltwater lake shook instantly, layers of mud collapsed rapidly, the earth shattered in the shaking, boulders rolled down, dust covered the sky, and in the chaos, Richard showed the violence of magic to the fullest.

Under the lake, the Redfish felt the ground shaking. But they were all in the saltwater lake, near the center, far from the shore.

So they hesitated for a while, and chose to continue guarding their eggs and did not go close to the shore to check.

This also made them miss their last chance.

The lake water originally flowed gently, docile and soft under the restraint of the lake bed, but at this moment, the lake water began to break free from its restraints and rush wildly like an enraged beast!

As the earth shook, the lakeshore came under unprecedented pressure, and the soil and rocks began to loosen and disintegrate under the impact of the surging water.

Rumble!
Suddenly, a deafening roar broke through the sky, and the lakeshore finally collapsed under the heavy load! In an instant, the turbid lake water, carrying mud, rushed out like a wild horse with a thunderous force!

The lake water rolled over, swallowing up the vegetation and mud pits on both sides of the swamp. The water wall of the lake was several feet high, with destructive force, washing away everything in its path, leaving behind a mess.

The salt water lake rushed into the swamp, bringing with it the poisonous corpse snow. This was bound to cause considerable ecological damage to the swamp. It was no exaggeration to say that it was a devastating loss to all living things.

But Richard couldn't care less at this time. As the lake water level dropped rapidly, many small fish and marine creatures were washed away with the lake water, but those that were too heavy would not move with the lake water, but would gradually sink to the bottom of the lake.

For example, those are six red fishmen showing their fins!
When the water level finally reached the bottom, the figures of the six red fish men were completely exposed.

According to Richard's idea, these red fishmen should be amphibians like ordinary fishmen, and can move in lakes and on land at the same time. After draining the water from the lake, they should still have a considerable degree of combat power, but they are not as ferocious as in the water, and they will not have disgusting corpse snow as weapons.

But contrary to Richard's expectations, after being stranded, the Red Fish Man fell directly onto the mud bed and couldn't even stand up.

All six red fish changed their postures, facing their own eggs with their mouths, and spit bubbles continuously.

The moist bubbles are immersed in the fish eggs, making the eggs look more vivid and rosy.

"What on earth are they doing?" Richard frowned as he looked at the scene in front of him. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind like lightning.

"Wait a minute! Could it be that these seemingly powerful red fish people are not the real mothers, but the fish eggs are the real mothers?"

As soon as this idea came into his mind, it was like a blooming vine that spread all over Richard's mind and could not be shaken off.

He held down the gargoyle, switched magic, and threw a slow-trajectory rock bullet at a red fish egg!
"Gulu!"

The Red Fish Man, who was moving slowly and looking in pain, immediately jumped up the moment he saw the rock bullet and used his body to withstand the blow!
"Really." Richard took a breath. "The seemingly powerful Red Fish Man is just a bodyguard. Interesting."

He snapped his fingers and switched the magic again.

"Level 3 magic, lightning cage!"

Chi!

A dazzling flash of lightning suddenly appeared and turned into a cage that fell from the sky, covering the Red Fish Man in the cage.

The Lightning Cage, like the Fire Wall, is a type of terrain magic.

The dazzling thunder separated the Red Fish Man from the fish eggs, preventing him from blowing bubbles at the fish eggs.

Richard originally wanted to separate the red fish and the fish eggs, control them separately, and finally bring them all back to St. Laurent Prison.

But he didn't expect that at the moment the cage was formed, the red fish man trapped in the cage rushed out of the cage with his tiny hands and feet without fear!
Lightning rushed, and the red fish burst into dazzling light, reflecting the surrounding mud and changing its color. Its scales seemed to be burned in the lightning, flashing and changing colors piece by piece, from fiery red to golden yellow, and then to black as if it was burned.

Even though his body was shaking from the lightning cage, the Red Fishman still firmly used his tiny arms and feet to rush towards the fish eggs.

When it completely left the cage, it was already dying.

Boo!
But even so, the Red Fish Man still firmly spit out a wet bubble from his mouth.

Richard: ...

Richard was flying in the air and observing this scene. He found that when all the red fish people spit out bubbles, their expressions would become very painful, but no matter how painful it was, they would spit out bubbles to keep the fish eggs moist. As the bubbles were spit out, the size of these red fish people became smaller and smaller, and each time they spit out bubbles, they would become smaller.

If the Red Fish Man is the mother of these eggs, then this is quite touching.

Richard looked at the fish eggs, blinked, and immediately thought of Mohammed.

“Mohammed’s skin must be kept moisturized, otherwise he will die soon.

These fish eggs may have the same characteristics. As long as I have no intention of getting close to the fish eggs, the red fish people don't seem to be very aggressive towards me.

interesting. "

A bold idea came to Richard's mind, and he decided to give it a try.

So he called Green Ham, got some huge glass from the supply warehouse, made it into a fish tank, and used magic to transport it to the lake.

He just stood quietly by the lake and waited, waiting for the Red Fish Man to spit out his body until it was small enough.

Finally, Richard felt it was enough.

"Magic: Healing Well." Richard clapped his hands lightly and summoned a well in the fish tank.

"Magic, improved version of the Healing Well, Healing Fountain."

Richard clapped his hands again, and clear liquid gushed out of the healing well, gradually filling the entire fish tank.

Under Richard's order, a group of skeleton soldiers pushed a fish tank filled with healing water in front of the red fish man.

thump.

When the sound of the water shaking in the fish tank was heard, the eyes of the six red fish men all stared straight at the fish tank, without any movement.

Compared to the bottom of the lake which was just a few dirty puddles, this fish tank filled with magic water was like heaven.

Gulu!

After a while, the red fish that was most seriously injured finally couldn't bear it anymore!
It held the eggs in its mouth, arched its body, and jumped into the fish tank.

With a splash, the red fish man entered the fish tank. He spit out the fish eggs, feeling the waves of the healing water, his expression full of happiness.
