Chapter 746: Messenger fish (1)
Translator: 549690339
What Zhao Hai didn’t know was that this seahorse wasn’t an ordinary seahorse. It was a slightly larger seahorse. This seahorse was truly a type of exotic beast.
Whether it was on the ark continent or the sea tribe, there were some strange beasts. They were magical beasts, but they were not ordinary magical beasts.
Magical beasts were usually wild beasts that knew magic, while exotic beasts were different. Exotic beasts were usually magical beasts that knew special techniques. These two points were different, and their strength was naturally far from the same.
Magical beasts used the magical crystals in their bodies to cast magic, which was why they were called magical beasts. However, strange beasts were different. Strange beasts could use magic, but they also had a kind of Natal special spell. This kind of Natal special spell was slightly more powerful than magic, and its power was more powerful. Therefore, ordinary people would rather face high-level magical beasts than provoke strange beasts.
The seahorse that Luo Ying and the others were riding was a type of exotic beast!
These seahorses looked huge and moved very slowly, but that was only on the surface. They were actually a type of water magic, and at the same time, they were a type of ice-type exotic beast.
Strange beasts were definitely magical beasts, but magical beasts were not necessarily strange beasts. This was something that everyone on the continent knew. Luo Ying’s steeds were a very strange race. They were strange beasts and magical beasts. They were very famous in the sea. Their name was ice seahorse.
Although the name ” ice seahorse ” was very common, there was still a certain difference between ice and water. The most important thing was in terms of attack power. The ice seahorse was actually a Water-type magical beast, but after it mutated, it could use ice-type special techniques.
Ice-type mutant beasts were usually transformed from Water-type magical beasts, and most Water-type magical beasts didn’t know ice-type mutant techniques. This was the same difference between magical beasts and mutant beasts.
Although ice and water looked similar, and many Water-type magical beasts could also use ice-type special techniques, if one were to really count the differences, it shouldn’t be said that Water-type magical beasts used ice-type special techniques, but ice-type magical beasts used Water-type magic.
Whether it was in terms of attack or defense, the water element was inferior to the ice element by more than a level. This ice seahorse was a strange beast that could use water magic and ice special techniques. Their water magic didn’t have a high attack power among sea beasts, but there was one thing. Once they used water magic, their speed would be greatly increased. Most magic beasts in the sea wouldn’t be able to catch up to them. And they only knew one ice special technique, the icicle technique!
Their water magic was used behind them, as if there was a propeller behind them, allowing them to run faster, while their icicle spell was like adding a gun in front of them. The icicles they shot out were not only fast, but also had good attack power. They could also attack in a continuous way. Therefore, in the endless sea, the ice seahorse was also known as the burning icicle beast.
This blazing icicle beast wasn’t saying that the ice seahorse also knew fire special techniques, but that when they ran in the sea, it was as if their butts were on fire. It wasn’t a glorious name, but it was a magical beast that gave the sea tribe a headache.
Zhao Hai looked at the ice Sea Dragon curiously, but he did not say anything. He directed the blade-scale whale to swim toward the battlefield. Mountain and Luo Ying followed him.
Soon, they arrived at the battlefield. There were many corpses floating on the battlefield, but none of the merfolk moved. The sea water was flowing, and it wouldn’t take long for the corpses to be moved by the water. This was why Zhao Hai and the others didn’t see any corpses on the battlefield when they arrived.
The people of the sea didn’t have the habit of burial. On the contrary, most of them used sea burial. In other words, after their people died, they would use a kind of big shell from the sea to load the body and let it float with the sea water. If they couldn’t find a big shell, they would just let the body float away.
This wasn’t to say that the people of the sea were disrespectful to the dead. On the contrary, they did this out of respect for the dead. The people of the sea thought that they were born in the sea and had always lived in the sea. After they died, they would have to return to the sea. That was why they used this method of burial.
These sea tribe people also knew that after using the sea burial, most of their corpses would be eaten by the magic beasts in the sea, but they still did it. They believed that the magic beasts in the sea were also given to them by the sea god and were part of the sea, so this method of burial had been preserved until now.
On the battlefield, all the sea tribe members would do the same. In their opinion, the dead were equivalent to being buried in the sea, and there was no need to collect their bodies.
Zhao Hai looked at the floating corpses. Although the battle between the two sides had not been long, the casualties were not small. In just a short time, there were already close to a thousand casualties.
Zhao Hai turned to look at Luo Ying and said, ” “General, if it’s the bodies of your soldiers, can I move them?”
Luo Ying looked at Zhao Hai and nodded. &Quot; “Sir, please. If those dead Warriors can help us and reduce the number of those who are still alive, I think they will rest in peace.”
Zhao Hai gave Luo Ying a deep look. He realized that Luo Ying was truly a qualified general. He was good at commanding battles and had a heart that loved his soldiers. Only a person like this could be a qualified general. Only a person like this could make his soldiers risk their lives.
Zhao Hai turned around and waved his hand. A ball of black smoke surrounded the bodies. When the black smoke disappeared, the bodies disappeared as well.
Zhao Hai didn’t want the merfolk to see the undead creatures right now. He knew very well what kind of expressions they would have when they saw the undead creatures. If they saw a pile of skeletons, it would be a huge blow to their morale, which could be fatal in a war.
Luo Ying looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai turned to Luo Ying and smiled. &Quot; &Quot; don’t worry, general. I’ve only recalled the undead creatures. I’m afraid that the morale will be affected if I show them now. &Quot;
Luo Ying nodded after hearing Zhao Hai’s words. She really admired Zhao Hai now. He could still think of everything at a time like this. It was rare.
Zhao Hai turned around and looked at the Marine race members, ” “General, if the enemy attacks again, why don’t you let me block them for a while?”
Luo Ying was stunned. She didn’t expect Zhao Hai to volunteer, but she still shook her head. &Quot; &Quot; don’t worry, Sir. They will launch a war like this several times a day. They just want to grind us down. I want you to observe for two days and collect more undead creatures before defeating them in one fell swoop. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded and said, ” “I’ll listen to General’s arrangements. As long as general needs it, I’ll be there at any time.”
Luo Ying nodded and led Zhao Hai and the others back into the green Dragon conch. When they were inside, Luo Ying immediately called some of his generals over and asked them to arrange for people to split up the reinforcements brought by mountain.
Originally, Zhao Hai wanted to return to the blade scale whale’s body and enter the medium. However, when he saw how excited Becky and melgen were as they looked at Luo Ying giving out all sorts of orders, Zhao Hai did not go back. Instead, he stayed and learned from the side.
The Army that followed Zhao Hai’s team was quickly dispersed to the various battle teams. At the same time, Luo Ying gave the order to defend with all her might. She believed that the enemy would attack again soon, and this time it would be a big attack. Everyone had to be prepared.
Zhao Hai carefully observed Luo Ying’s arrangement of the troops. He noticed that although the troops were divided into square formations, each square formation was made up of four smaller formations. The first formation was for defense, mainly made up of the turtle Clan or other races with stronger defense. The first formation was for long-range attacks. The leader of the long-range attacks was a special race of the sea tribe that could attack from a distance. Most of them used magic, and the other type was the close-combat race. These close-combat races were mostly powerful. They had strong bodies and very strong close-combat abilities. In the end, they would definitely be the support and command race. This race’s purpose was to support the other three races, and at the same time, it was also a place to command the battle.
The 4 small square formations would form a big square formation. Some bigger square formations would form a bigger square formation. In this way, they would become a combat unit. Additionally, they could give orders directly and command more flexibly.
What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that the merfolk used something called message fish to give orders.
The messenger fish was a very special fish in the ocean. Its body was not big and very small, but it swam very fast and was easy to train. The most important thing was that this fish could transmit messages between each other. Even if two fish were far away, they could still emit a special sound wave to send messages to each other.
The Marine race took advantage of this feature of the messenger fish and developed a kind of magic. This magic could imitate the pronunciation of the messenger fish and then use this special method to transmit messages. This magic was also made into all kinds of secret codes. It was the fastest and safest way to transmit messages in the ocean. If you didn’t know the secret codes, even if you saw the messenger fish, you wouldn’t know what the other party was saying.
Zhao Hai felt as if he had returned to earth and was watching a movie. Both sides were using a transmitter to send messages. This method was primitive compared to mobile phones or telephone calls. However, on the ark continent, it was an impressive invention.
Zhao Hai was also very interested in these Messenger fish, so he asked Luo Ying for some and put them in the space. Although the space had an alert, it didn’t upgrade, but it had an additional function, which was to strengthen the communication ability of the space.
