Chapter 105 Unknown Witch Formation
Richard leaned against the rock wall and did not dare to swim directly to the shallows in the center of the cave. Instead, he stuck to the rock wall and slowly emerged from the water to observe the situation.
He saw that this was a closed independent cave on the other side of the rock wall of the underground dark river. It seemed that he could only sneak into it through the secret passage he had just swam through underwater.
The cave was not large, with only one shallow beach. There were only two ordinary fishmen and a double-bladed fishman patrolling on the shallow beach. It might be that the fishmen considered it to be hidden enough, so the defense force was not strong.
He saw a hexagram witch formation with a diameter of five meters, which was emitting a light blue light. On the six corners, there was a middle-level magic stone the size of a child's fist, which was much larger than the ordinary magic stone the size of a fingernail.
This immediately made Richard's eyes light up.
But as his sight moved, there was a larger and brighter magic stone in the center of the witch formation, which was obviously higher than the middle-level magic stone.
In an instant, Richard's heart was in turmoil. The high-level magic stone was actually a high-level magic stone!
Although Richard had never owned one, he had never eaten pork but had never seen pigs run. In many books in the school library, there are stories about advanced magic stones.
One advanced magic stone can be exchanged for at least 10,000 ordinary magic stones and 100 intermediate magic stones, and there is still a price but no market!
Because the role of advanced magic stones is too wide, the most common one is used as the energy source of advanced wizard formations in this situation.
Suddenly, Richard's heart was burning. The advanced magic stone must be taken. In that case, even if this clearing mission ends here, his harvest will definitely be ranked among the top few!
Although it is not as glorious as the top few points, it is also very pleasant to make a fortune in silence.
At this time, Richard seemed to have a vague guess about the whole thing. The old fishman summoned the ancient dark fishman, most likely to attract firepower above, because even if it can cause great losses to this group of wizard apprentices, but when the three major schools reacted.
A mere ancient dark fishman would be killed in a matter of minutes by the official wizards of the three major schools. Therefore, the old fishman had actually prepared a retreat, which was the magic array in front of him. From this point of view, the magic array should be a teleportation array, but there is still a problem.
Since the teleportation array has been prepared for a long time, the old fishman should have left directly. Why did he delay until now? Could it be that this magic array is still missing something that prevents immediate teleportation?
Don't think too much for now. Kill the three fishmen in front of you first, get the high-level magic stone and leave. It must be right!
Richard thought about it for a while and then came up with a plan. He secretly summoned a sword and shield skeleton underwater. The turbid dark river water obscured the light green light of the summoning magic array, and the three fishmen on the shallows were unaware.
A sword-and-shield skeleton suddenly walked onto the shallows from the water on one side, startling the three fishmen. The two-blade fishmen seemed to realize that the other party's aura was not strong, so they immediately called the other two fishmen to rush over and fight with the sword-and-shield skeleton.
Richard, on the other hand, tiptoed out of the water from behind the three fishmen and silently recited the Shadow Grip.
When the two-blade fishmen noticed something, a dark elemental hand with a diameter of more than two meters slapped down like a fly. Suddenly, the three fishmen were like being hit by a heavy hammer, and most of them sank into the soft shallows and could not move!
At this time, the sword-and-shield skeleton stepped forward and quickly killed the three guard fishmen who had no power to resist with one sword each.
After killing the three fishmen, Richard did not rashly step forward to take the high-level magic stone.
He first walked around the teleportation array. The various witchcraft runes in it were complicated, so he took out the recording crystal ball given by Ophelia and copied the pattern of the entire teleportation array, intending to study it slowly after returning.
There were no books related to the teleportation array in the library of the school, so this was the first time Richard had seen the teleportation array, which was quite valuable for research. This must be considered advanced knowledge in the knowledge system of wizards.
After copying, Richard planned to take the most valuable high-level magic stone in the center of the magic array. Although the teleportation array had faint energy fluctuations, Richard also knew some common sense, that is, the activation of the magic array generally requires a long spell.
So he was not worried that he would trigger the magic array and cause unpredictable consequences.
But as soon as he walked into the teleportation array, Richard felt something was wrong. The mysterious statue in his arms suddenly burst into blue light, and at the same time, the huge teleportation array under his feet also glowed blue, and the two resonated with each other.
Oh no! Could it be that the mysterious statue in his arms was some kind of medium for this teleportation array!
Richard jumped up and grabbed the high-level magic stone with all his strength! This is not because Richard is greedy, but because he thought that the high-level magic stone is the energy source of the witch array, and as long as the teleportation array is removed, it will naturally be interrupted!
This idea is of course correct!
However, Richard was still a beat slower!
In an instant, the teleportation array burst into a dazzling blue light, the light was so strong that Richard had to close his eyes tightly, and the next second, Richard disappeared in the witch array, accompanied by the sword and shield skeleton, which also dissipated into the air at the same time.
——
When the teleportation array was activated, the strong energy fluctuation instantly alarmed the old fishman who was fighting not far away.
The old fishman was stunned and looked unbelievable. He muttered to himself, "Braca dared not to join me and directly used the holy object to teleport back to the Dark Water Lake? This shouldn't be the case!"
After a few seconds, the old fishman's expression turned livid. "No matter what the reason is, I can't go back now. Damn it. I spent so much effort, but it was all in vain in the end!"
The old fishman stared at the many wizard apprentices present with his bulging fish eyes, and said with gritted teeth, "It's all because of you surface human wizards. Go, kill them all! Every extra one killed is a profit!"
With a wave of his hand, the hundred fishman warriors beside him rushed forward and began to surround and kill the wizard apprentices of the three academies.
This made the apprentices of the three academies even worse. Originally, one ancient dark fishman was enough for them to bear. Now more than a hundred fishman warriors rushed up and were beaten to a pulp.
After running for a while, Ophelia and Andrea found that Richard seemed to be missing behind them.
"Andrea, did you see Richard?" Ophelia thought to herself that it was not good, and immediately turned around and asked.
"No, you didn't see him either?" Andrea was also surprised to find that Richard was not behind them.
It was Richard who reminded himself and Ophelia just now, but now he was nowhere to be seen, and Andrea was very confused.
"Ophelia, you keep running, I'll go back and take a look!" Just as Andrea was about to turn around to check, she saw another second-level wizard apprentice, who was running out in a panic. Seeing the two of them standing there stupidly, he immediately shouted: "Why don't you run quickly? There are ancient dark fishmen behind you. Stop and wait to die!"
This made the two of them stunned. The ancient dark fishmen are equivalent to the combat power of formal wizards. The two of them immediately ran to the surface!
After all, even if they turned back now, they would be sending themselves to death. Moreover, Richard had many backup plans along the way. Both of them believed that Richard would not die so easily at the hands of the fishmen!
