Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 34: Continuous Gains
Everyone killed the fish and took the pearls, and handed the proceeds to Roy for temporary safekeeping.

Then he rode his horse and continued upstream, taking the time to rest and adjust before joining the battle again.

It is not conducive to travel at night, but humans have balanced characteristics and undoubtedly have an advantage over some night-blind murlocs. They soon succeeded again and obtained three warlock fish beads.

This is a huge gain!

Exchanging it for a thousand or so magic stones as in the past would be a waste.

Because the Wu Tower recently introduced support policies that benefit mid- and low-level apprentices, allowing them to obtain some non-inherited-level main materials for witch body transformation.

This is more than enough to create three senior apprentices. With a little accumulation, they will be no less capable than Portning and others before they mastered witchcraft!

Even if one does not have the talent and qualifications to master spell models and cannot become a senior apprentice for the time being, it is possible to slowly move up to that position after a few years by accumulating time.

In addition, there are magic pearls, blood corals, mutant fish scales, elite warrior fish beads...

A large amount of various materials were seized, with a conservative estimate of their value being over 7,000 or 8,000 yuan.

What's more, the mission itself is rewarded!

All these things, when accumulated little by little, amount to a considerable number.

Even though Roy has been promoted to a senior level and it is impossible to share the profits equally with them, he can still gain a lot.

Realizing this, everyone couldn't help but feel excited and motivated.

……

"Great, the fifth Warlock Fish Pearl!"

Soon, it was the next afternoon.

The group encountered two more murloc tribes one after another. After killing the murloc warlock leader through sneak attacks, they deliberately controlled the stragglers to escape downstream.

Unconsciously, the cooperation became more and more tacit, and the harvest naturally became more abundant.

"Everyone must be tired after fighting for so long. Let's take a break for a while."

After another fierce battle, Roy asked Reinien and Andov to go to the nearby high slope to keep watch, while the others sat down and rested for a while.

He also put away his sword and hair, and let out a long breath: "Have you noticed that there are more and more mutant fishmen?"

Everyone echoed, "Yes, this tribe, with only a few hundred people, actually has more than ten elite warriors. This ratio is a bit unreasonable!"

"It must be the Cretaceous Nation's witchcraft energy radiating to the outside world, causing an impact..."

"This is why the monsters are so agitated!"

"Monsters are becoming increasingly difficult to kill. I was able to succeed this time with a sneak attack, but next time, if we encounter more elite tribal warriors, we might be in danger!

and……"

Roy thought to himself and turned his gaze to the side.

Reinian, Andov, Niya and others also went into battle one after another.

One by one, they were injured.

If it weren't for the various ointments produced in the tower and the quick effectiveness of healing potions, they would have lost their combat effectiveness by now.

But even so, everyone was exhausted, and all the medicines and supplies they carried with them were used up.

There is almost no ability to fight again.

"It's time to call it a day! Our rations and water are almost gone, and our minimally effective healing potions are all gone. Only a little ointment remains."

Hearing Roy's words, everyone was slightly distracted.

Immediately, I felt an inexplicable reluctance to leave.

"Just accept it when you're ready!"

Roy was clear-headed and spoke to everyone firmly.

"Leave this area completely before those large groups of monsters really notice us!" Everyone had no choice but to agree.

However, another day later, everyone suddenly discovered several corpses on the riverbank ahead.

Although everyone was tired, they were talking and laughing because of their huge harvest, and they were in a relaxed and happy mood. Seeing this, they immediately became alert.

Renien cautiously approached and scouted, concluding, "It was a mid-level apprentice from the tower, and he died not long ago, just this morning!"

Aimo and Tigro looked at each other and said seriously, "This scar... must have been caused by the fish-man warlock who can discharge electricity that we talked about before!
It must be around here!"

Discharge...

This is a popular way of saying it.

Roy guessed that it was a mutated fishman leader who mastered some powerful lightning spell ability.

He dismounted and examined two of the bodies that had been charred by lightning.

"The lightning didn't cause much damage to the surrounding terrain, and the two individuals appeared agile enough to dodge the slow-moving elemental attacks from the orbs...

It should be a spell like Electric Claw or Lightning Bolt!"

As lightning magic, there are many specific names for it.

Lightning shock, electric balls, electric claws, cumulonimbus clouds, etc. are all common.

There is definitely no way to learn and master a monster like the Murloc Warlock through witchcraft or arcane magic.

The more likely possibility is to use blood.

Then more than 70% of them are electric claws and lightning beams.

Roy pondered for a moment and said, "Look around to see if there are any signs of murlocs standing there.

These monsters always secrete a kind of fish mucus, and if they stop to cast a spell, they will probably stay there for a while."

Upon hearing this, everyone hurried to look around.

Sure enough, Andov soon made a discovery: "There are traces of dried mucus on the rocks here! And there's a strong fishy smell!"

Roy went over there and took a look: "This must be several dozen feet, close to a hundred feet."

The ruler in the wizarding world is about 0.3 meters, which means that the other party killed these people from a distance of to meters.

"It must be that Murloc Warlock! It's too strong. It just pointed at us from a distance and our boss was gone!"

Aimer and Tigro's memories were brought back, and they spoke with some fear.

"That makes sense. The only problem is that a real lightning bolt would probably have dozens of degrees of magical power."

Roy concluded.

"Maybe it's because my bloodline isn't strong enough to cast a complete spell, but my spell-like abilities are enough to simulate its form!"

He thought silently for a while, then used the sword in his hand to cut open the victim's chest and abdomen, and looked at it with a frown.

"As expected, the organs are not completely burnt...

The spell power should be in the single digits!"

This is similar to their previous judgment. The Murloc Warlock should be a lord-level monster that is higher than the boss but lower than the hero.

"So, there really is a powerful mutated monster roaming around..."

"What should I do if this suddenly pops up?"

"They can attack from such a distance. Without proper protection, death is almost certain!"

Everyone looked worried, feeling that the wind was howling and the grass was full of enemies.

The atmosphere around became tense.
