While waiting anxiously, time kept passing.
No matter how anxious the heart is, the changes of things will not be transferred by will after all.
The ship gradually sank.
This is an incomparably realistic matter, and it was so nakedly placed in front of the eyes of many apprentices present.
They looked at each other at this scene, a little silent.
It's not that no one is nervous, in fact, each of them is very solemn.
It's just that as wizards, they have the ability to control their emotions, so despite the nervousness in their hearts, none of them yelled or showed the slightest ugliness.
As wizards, they are still thinking rationally at this moment, and they clearly understand that it is useless to shout at this time, on the contrary, they will attract the attention of the sea people outside, adding a little more danger to themselves .
They had already thought about what they were going to do in front of them.
"The puppets on the ship are ready, as long as we give an order later, they will take the initiative to jump down and create opportunities for us."
"Also, have you memorized the map of the nearby islands?"
On the ship, the apprentice in charge of the ship's operation spoke, and his face looked a little complicated at this moment.
He was originally an apprentice in charge of manipulating the ship, and he was usually in charge of manning the ship, traveling between various continents.
But now it seems that if there are no accidents, perhaps his journey will come to an end here.
Those who sail far above the sea will eventually die in the sea.
But for this, everyone present was mentally prepared.
The necessary preparations have been made.
On the deck, puppets in black robes picked up their knives and slashed across their bodies a few times.
The crimson blood with a bit of black flowed out of them, dripped on the deck, and then continued to flow downwards, dripping into the sea water, dyeing the surrounding area crimson.
Seemingly attracted by the bloody aura, the surrounding Sea Clan became more chaotic and restless for no reason.
These puppets in black robes are the boatmen on the boats.
If a ship wants to sail, it needs all kinds of things, and the wizard who stays behind and controls it is the most basic.
In addition to these, corresponding sailors are needed to be responsible for other things.
These puppets are the character.
They are refined by ordinary people through special methods of wizards. Although they have been processed by special methods, their minds are close to nothing, but they are still alive anyway, and they also carry a subtle mana breath, which is still attractive to those sea people. Powerful.
When the ship sank completely later, many apprentices present would disperse in the direction agreed in advance.
At that time, the sea people below will definitely catch up.
At that time, through these puppets under his hands, it may be possible to distract the attention of these sea people and reduce their power to chase them.
Anyway, it's an attempt.
Anyway, if they didn't give orders, these puppets would just stay in the boat, and they would be buried in the mouths of these sea clans as well.
Instead of wasting it in vain, it is better to use waste and let them play some residual value.
Anyway, that's how it is.
Time passed, and outside, patches of sea water were splashing with white waves. Under the deep sea water, blurry figures flashed past one after another, like ferocious beasts, opening their huge mouths to kill them. Devour it in one bite.
The water kept rushing through, and the boat gradually sank, and it seemed that it was about to be completely submerged.
"about there."
On the entire ship, the highest-ranking black-robed apprentice felt it, and then spoke with a solemn face, issuing an order.
Accompanied by his opening, the apprentices present also looked solemn and began to prepare.
Everyone knows that a race of life and death is about to begin.
This time, the loser will fall into the abyss without exception.
However, they are already mentally prepared for this.
Following the black-robed apprentice's order, several apprentices stood there, whispering softly, as if they were casting some kind of spell.
Chen Heng raised his head, faced the sea breeze, and looked forward.
On the deck, the puppets who stood up gradually changed, and the aura of mana became more and more intense.
This result greatly increased their sense of presence, even surpassing many apprentices present.
Down below, it seemed to feel a strong breath of mana. Under the double stimulation of mana and blood, those sea tribes began to riot and became more and more irritable.
From time to time, a sea tribe would emerge from the sea, with that ferocious head emerging.
At this time, Chen Heng had extra time to observe the appearance of these sea people.
Normally speaking, the lower body of the ordinary sea clan is the same as the royal clan among the sea clan, with fish tails.
It's just that their upper bodies are not like this. They all look very hideous, without any human appearance at all.
According to some records, there is a criterion for judging the blood of the royal family in the Hai clan.
Except for a few exceptions, for most sea people, the more human-like their upper body is, the richer their blood and the higher their level.
Like the sea priest before, except that the lower body is still a fish tail, and there are some fish scales on his face, he is basically no different from a human being.
But ordinary sea people are undoubtedly terrifying, especially for ordinary mortals, they can be regarded as ferocious.
All of them looked like horrible creatures, the kind that could eat people.
Of course, in fact, they do like to eat people, especially people with strong vitality and mana.
For example, these apprentices on the ship are their favorite rations.
Ahead, the movements of the black-robed apprentice continued.
After activating the mana breath on the puppets to the maximum, he directly ordered to throw these puppets out.
With a sound, more than a dozen puppets were thrown out at the same time.
According to the pre-set orders, they struggled frantically in the sea water, trying to rush out.
A blood flower blooms.
The moment the puppets fell into the sea, many sea clansmen who had been waiting for a long time below rushed up, and a pair of huge, ferocious ones bit them directly.
Afterwards, blood flowers bloomed from the sea and spread out.
"Walk!"
Looking at this scene, the black-robed apprentice didn't hesitate at all, and yelled aloud, then jumped up and rushed in a certain direction.
Before jumping down, he deliberately glanced at Chen Heng's direction.
Chen Heng naturally understood what he meant, so he also jumped down.
As for the other apprentices, they jumped down one after another without any hesitation.
Blossoming blood flowers are blooming.
Among the many apprentices, not everyone is proficient in swimming.
Those apprentices who are not proficient in water and have not mastered the corresponding spells themselves are the first to suffer from blood mold at this moment.
A head of the sea tribe gnawed directly on them, biting a big hole in their body.
In the sea water, they struggled and roared, but it was of no avail.
If they were on the deck, these apprentices could still fight with many apprentices, but if they were in the sea, they would not be able to display their strength at all, and they would be powerless to resist the sea clans that were gnawing from all around them.
All around, listening to the miserable shouts behind them, the other apprentices didn't have the slightest intention of turning back to rescue, but rushed forward one by one, trying to swim forward.
To put it bluntly, if they could choose by themselves, these people would like to turn into a fish right now and just swim away, so as not to face the gang of ferocious sea people behind.
People lost their lives constantly and were caught up by the group of Sea Clans, but there were also a small number of people who managed to escape some of the Sea Clans and were trying to move forward.
"Turn it off for now."
Following the black-robed apprentice, Chen Heng struggled forward while sensing the situation behind him.
In the spiritual induction, there are a large number of malicious attacks behind him, and they may approach at any time.
Judging from the situation obtained from the induction, the speed of this group of sea people is very fast. In just a short period of time, they have crossed a long distance and chased directly behind them.
But what is strange is that even though their speed is so fast, they never thought of rushing up, but kept a moderate speed and fell far behind them.
"This group of sea people are waiting for our strength to run out"
Marching forward with difficulty, feeling the situation of the group of sea people behind him, this thought flashed through Chen Heng's mind.
Apparently, the Hai Clan also knew that it was difficult to deal with these two third-level apprentices.
If he rushed over at this moment, he would definitely face the explosion of the two third-level apprentices before they died.
Even if it can be eaten at that time, the loss will not be small.
Therefore, this group of Sea Clan chose to stay far behind them, waiting for the power in their bodies to be exhausted, and it would be much easier to attack again at that time.
This creates a special kind of wrestling.
The two of Chen Heng must reach the island before their own strength is exhausted, otherwise they will be swallowed by the group of sea people behind them.
This competition is about durability.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It has to be said that although it was because of the strategy, the Hai Clan's immediate countermeasures did let the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.
If this group of Sea Clans is not afraid of casualties and rushes up regardless, then Chen Heng's eruption before their death can indeed kill many Sea Clans and cause heavy losses to the other party, but they will definitely die, and there will be no surprises occur.
And if the other party chooses this way, they will be given a chance. Although it is slim, there is still hope.
In terms of power consumption, Chen Heng is still somewhat confident.
When he left this time, although he didn't bring out all his family assets, he also brought a lot of things with him.
The magic weapon that Charlie gave him has been worn by him all the time.
In addition, some magical items made by himself, as well as a large number of mana crystals, he still has many of these things.
At the critical moment, it is completely possible to absorb the power contained in the mana crystal to supplement itself.
As far as consumption is concerned, Chen Heng is not afraid at all.
Just don't know how others are doing.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help turning around and looking forward.
There, the black-robed wizard was still desperately rushing forward.
He also has many magical items to assist him. After all, he is a third-level apprentice, so his family background cannot be too poor.
In addition, his water skills are also very good, and his movements are very fast at the moment.
Because their physical fitness is strong enough, their speed has completely surpassed other apprentices, and they are moving forward rapidly.
Time passed slowly.
As time passes, their strength is rapidly being consumed.
Behind them, the group of Sea Clans still looked the same as before, neither far nor near, hanging there so far away, as if waiting for them to completely lose their resistance.
However, Chen Heng could feel that some impatience had emerged in their mental fluctuations at this moment.
It seems that at this time, these sea people are finally about to be unable to hold back, and they are about to make a real move.
"How much longer?"
Thinking of this, Chen Heng looked at the black-robed apprentice in front of him and asked.
"It will be here soon!"
The black-robed apprentice's panting voice sounded heavy with exhaustion.
In fact, not only him, but even Chen Heng also felt tired at the moment.
Chen Heng himself is not only a third-level apprentice, but also a knight, and he can feel such a clear sense of fatigue, let alone him.
If it wasn't for the support of the magical items on his body, which barely recovered part of his energy, he might have collapsed by now.
According to him, they are very close to their destination at this moment, and they will be there in an hour at most.
In response, Chen Heng nodded, then turned and looked behind.
Behind them, the Sea Clan became more and more irritable. Seeing this, they couldn't hold back anymore, and there was a sign that they were about to make a move.
Chen Heng already had a premonition.
Before they are really out of danger, they may have to face a real challenge.
And this challenge should be coming soon.
This thought flashed through his mind, and he just followed the black-robed apprentice forward, trying his best to rush forward.
As the black-robed apprentice said, the island ahead gradually appeared.
This is a very small island with a small area, but there are vegetation on it, which looks pretty good.
As long as they landed on this island, the sea people in front of them would have nothing to do with them.
They can also avoid this danger and gain safety.
But by this time, those Sea Clans had reached the limit of their patience.
Heads of the Sea Clan kept rushing forward, roaring.
Judging by this appearance, it is finally time to fight head-on.
Chen Heng was not surprised at all, and waved his hand directly.
A mental deterrent erupted fiercely, and all the sea people around were hit and fell into a coma.
Behind them, the sea clan who had been frantically moving forward to hunt down Chen Heng and the two suddenly disappeared.
But soon, more Sea Clan rushed out.
The number of these sea tribes was so dense that it was impossible to count them at a glance, as if they were going to drown Chen Heng and the others directly.
Behind these low-level sea clansmen, the silhouette of the sea clan priest before was looming, accompanied by a powerful aura of mana, as if he was about to strike at any time.
"Damn it!"
Feeling the situation in front of him, Chen Heng's face turned livid, and he turned to look at the black-robed apprentice: "What should we do next?"
"Rush together!"
The black-robed apprentice gritted his teeth and said so.
On his body, the breath of mana emerged faintly, as if he was casting a powerful spell.
"Buy me some time!"
He growled and opened his mouth, his face full of ferocity.
"good."
Chen Heng didn't care to say anything more, and nodded under the siege of many sea tribes, trying his best to parry those sea tribes.
His strength is very strong, but in this environment, it is difficult to play out.
Not long after, his body was covered with paint, and crimson blood flowed out.
And the blood flow of the third-level apprentices was sensed by those sea people, which seemed to make them even more excited, and they rushed towards Chen Heng as if they were crazy.
"How are you?"
Among a group of Sea Clan, Chen Heng reluctantly parried, while roaring through the shock of mental power.
"alright."
Behind him, the voice of the black-robed apprentice continued, but at this moment, it seemed extraordinarily calm, even a little indifferent.
A powerful rush came, accompanied by the surge of magic particles, forming a spell like this, and rushed forward.
Under Chen Heng's unbelievable gaze, the spell hit him directly, and then pushed him forward hard.
He directly entered into the arms of a group of sea tribes, struggling among the sea tribes.
Attracted by Chen Heng, those Sea Clans stopped one after another, and the number of Sea Clans who had been chasing the black-robed apprentice became rare.
Feeling this scene, the black-robed apprentice looked indifferent.
"do not blame me"
He tried his best to rush forward, while maintaining his balance through mental manipulation: "If you want to blame, blame you for being too young and naive."
This thought flashed through his mind, and a sneer appeared on his face.
Behind him, Chen Heng's miserable cries kept coming, but they did not leave the slightest trace on him.
The world of wizards is like this, cold and ruthless, and using each other is the norm.
Things like this in front of him are not worth mentioning at all in his opinion.
Next, he tried his best to rush forward, trying to take advantage of the time when the group of sea people were entangled, and go ashore as soon as possible to avoid further twists and turns.
With his movements, the land ahead is getting closer and clearer.
Seeing that, he could escape the pursuit of those sea clansmen and regain his life.
Feeling these, a touch of joy appeared in his heart.
It's just that at the same time, a sense of something wrong is rapidly rising.
In his mind, his mental power was shaking wildly, and an extremely dangerous feeling was rising, as if reminding him of something.
"wrong!"
Soon, he realized that something was wrong, and he woke up completely.
In front of him, scenes and scenes clearly appeared in front of him.
At this moment, he was indeed working hard to move forward, but at some point, the direction was completely deviated.
In front of him is not an island at all, but a group of bloodthirsty sea people.
He actually shifted his direction and rushed towards the group of Sea Clan on his own initiative.
"How can it be!"
Suddenly, he was stunned, and a coolness emerged in his heart: "My spirit."
Only then did he realize what had just happened.
At that moment just now, when he wanted to make a move, his spirit was confused by someone, so that he directly deviated from the direction and rushed towards the group of sea people.
