49. The Demon King in the Valley


The Fish-Man King, who thought that we would be able to return freedom and life after accepting the pearls, collapsed in his chair when he heard me say this.Faced with this undeniable request, the Fishman King showed a loveless expression, piled up in the chair like a puddle of mud.The fishmen who had escaped from the camp came out of the sea, and when they saw the king of the fishmen negotiating with us, they ran back to shore, and although they did not dare to approach us, they were no longer frightened and panicked, but just stood at a distance and watched cautiously.After a big battle, the beach became a mess.The night stained the sea with ink, and the deep sea was just the sound of waves.We took the Fish-Man King out of the Fish-Man camp, and a strong team of Fish-People carried the huge chair with us back to the beach where we landed, where we had a pergola and a campfire for us to rest.Before leaving the camp of the Fishmen, the Barbarian slaves tried to rush into the camp and catch some Fishmen for dinner, and the Barbarian slaves even kicked over the lookout at the edge of the camp, and their actions immediately frightened the Fishmen into running away, and Justes then stopped the Barbarian slaves, and his persuasion to the Barbarian slaves was simple, except to say: These Fishmen are not very tasty, I have a way to make you eat some more delicious food.Later, the descendant of the Siren asked the Fishman King to provide some fresh sea fish for the barbarian slaves, and those fish people probably thought that offering us some delicious food would make us forget the previous hatred, so there were many kinds of sea fish sent, and for the barbarians, it didn't matter what kind of fish, the most important thing was to fill their stomachs.Karantso locked the Fish-Man King under the pergola, and the Fishmen brought some seawater from the seashore with some containers and poured it on the Fish-Man King's body, and he regained some of his spirits.The island is rich in a delicious coconut crab, but they usually hide in the coconut trees and come out at night, so it is difficult for fish who are not good at climbing trees to catch them.These coconut crabs are about four feet long, and in my opinion these are miniature giant spiders, they have a pair of very scary crab claws, and there are often coconut crabs attacking fish people on the island.The fish people think that coconut crab is a rare delicacy, but Ying Li does not want to eat this kind of food that looks a little scary like a spider, she finds a few conger eels from the trash fish offered by the fishmen, and excitedly tells me that the people in Haiyin Silk City like to use conger eels to fry into fish segments, which are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and can almost always appear on the table when living in Haiyin Silk City.So I decided to make a different eel dish for Ying Li, and there was a fire-gathering charm board on the beach in front of the pergola, and the cyan flames came out of the charm board, burning the pan on the iron shelf, and I rubbed some olive oil on the iron pot, and the light cyan translucent oil dripped on the iron pan and quickly blurred, and the conger eel was cut open from the middle and spread on the hot pan, making a sizzling sound.I bought this bottle of olive oil from a grocery store in Haiyin Silk City, and I remember that I wanted to stock up on some groceries for Uncle Fred's house, so I bought a lot of things at the grocery store, and those things were basically sent to Uncle Fred's house before I left.Wins, Becky, and Helena sat around the fire, watching me cook with anticipation, and Helena asked me curiously, "Caterina said that when you traveled with the caravan in Mount New Siachis, you were very good at cooking all kinds of food?"

”"I'm not traveling, I'm actually living, everyone is willing to make life very bad, there was no special cook in the caravan at that time, the guy in charge of cooking was a little poor, and the cooking was not careful, and the things made were always hard to swallow, and Kuz and I would often go outside to set traps and catch some game and come back to eat."

I said to Helena.Now, when I occasionally recall those past events, I can smile calmly.I carefully flipped the browned conger eel over and brushed it with some spicy sauce, and the aroma spread out at once.Ying Li has half elven blood, and although she does not have elven physical characteristics, her pursuit of food is similar to that of elves.Just as Win Li, Helena, Becky, and Caterina were sharing those delicious pan-fried conger eels, I happened to see Karantso leaning against the pillar to take a closer look at the whistle, her eyes chasing the magic patterns on the whistle, and by the light of the fire, I could see that her shoulders and waist were wrapped in bandages, these injuries were all left during the battle with the Demon Lord, with her excellent self-healing ability, she still couldn't heal in a short time, which shows how badly she was injured before."

Why don't you taste it?"

I asked her."

I hate eating fish."

She said, never taking her eyes off the whistle, "This thing can summon the Demon Lord?"

”I casually glanced at the patterned whistle and said to her, "I guess some kind of magical ritual is needed, like the fish people and some other thing that have been sacrificed." ”There was a very thin rope on the whistle, Karantso reached out and put the whistle around my neck, turned his head to look at the fish-man king who was locked under the pergola and was sleeping, his eyes showed a fierce gaze, and said to me: "I'll ask that disgusting toad how to use this thing" Justus and the minotaur were both injured, they did not have the physique of wolf orcs, and could not heal their wounds quickly, so I had to do some targeted treatment, such as constantly applying hydrotherapy to them to speed up wound healing.In fact, one of the main reasons why hydrotherapy, a water-based healing magic, has not been widely popularized for so many years is that the injured will suffer greatly during the spell casting process, which makes them feel that the wound heals a little slower, but in fact, it is okay.This night passed slowly in the uneasiness of the Fish-Man King, this was our third morning on this island, and when the morning sun turned the sea blue again, our team had already traveled east along the coastline in the morning light, until we reached the mouth of a river two kilometers away.We then sailed up the river, where the vegetation on both sides was so lush that the orc warriors carved a path out of the river.We went up for nearly three kilometers before we saw the rotting stranded ship at the bend of the river, the ship was tilted and fell on the beach, some rotting bottom wood was piled up under the hull, the whole ship was even skeleton, three tall masts were lying across the river beach, and we could smell the smell of corruption when we were still far away, and when we walked in, we found that the ship had become a huge bird's nest, and some seabirds kept rising and falling on this sea boat.When I walked up to the ship, I found that the rotten planks could not bear my weight, and with a light step, the planks under my feet shattered like straw.We eventually gave up on entering the cabin and just searched the perimeter of the ship, where there was little left but piles of guano and rotting wood.Continuing along the river into the depths of the jungle, the island grew higher with the upper dense forest, forming a deep valley on both sides of the river, and a group of fishmen carried the fish-man king through the large pebbles of the river, and we followed into the valley.It's just that along the way, except for a few alligators on the river beach, even small beasts in the forest are rarely seen.This is an inaccessible island, according to the fish-man king, there is only one fish-man tribe on the entire island, there are no other races, and there are no vicious sea beasts in the surrounding seas, I think the fish-man king's words are somewhat credible, otherwise these fish-people would not have lived so nourishingly on this island.According to the fish-man king, when it stole this whistle from the cave in the jungle, it was still a young fish-man, far from the appearance of the fat toad now, and the grade walked into this river valley alone in order to hunt the alligators here, the crocodiles in this river are the natural enemies of the fish-people, and the crocodiles will occasionally go down the river and lurk in the seaside area to catch fishmen, but the fishmen have nothing to do with these crocodiles.When the young Fish-Man King entered the valley to find a way to deal with these alligators, he went through various encounters before he walked into the cave and stole the whistle.Nowadays, the rampant alligators in the river valley are almost extinct, and to my surprise, these crocodiles have quietly dived into the bottom of the river after hearing some sounds of wind and grass, I originally thought they were going to ambush us in the river, but I did not expect the crocodiles that entered the river to quickly disappear.It seems that the war between the fish people and the crocodiles on this island seems to have won a complete victory.The further you go, the deeper the valley becomes, and gradually you can only see a glimmer of blue sky overhead.It took me all morning to reach the end of the river, which looked more like a huge labyrinth, with countless peaks on the top of the cave and clear water seeping down the pillars, forming a trickle, where the stream came together to form a river, and Caterina climbed up the cave in the stone wall, which happened to be at the foot of the only mountain on the island.The Fishman King repeatedly explained to me that the whistle was stolen in this cave, and that he had met a man with red skin, but our group searched inside and out of this cave, and did not find the person that the Fishman King was talking about, and that the cave was cold and damp, and there was not even a trace of life.In the cold cavern, the Fish-Man King finally struggled out of the chair, like a soft mud monster slumped on the ground, sticking its face to the ground and sniffing around, and finally led us around the cave, and finally found an entrance behind a rock crevice.The Fish-Man King seemed to have found some memories of the beginning, and struggled to crawl inside for some distance.After passing through a hundred and ten meters of pitch-black cave, a beam of light shone in from the other side of the cave, and my eyes suddenly opened up, a mountain stream and valley appeared in front of us, and we actually passed through the mountain wall into the belly of the mountain, and this mountain belly is far more empty than any I have ever seen, only a beam of sunlight shines in overhead, and in the middle of the mountain is a narrow valley, which is several kilometers long, and the widest place is also five or six hundred meters.There was a faint mist over the valley floor, and it was a bit stuffy because of the sunlight shining in.A few steps ahead, the Fish-Man King seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, and it rolled its big eyes to look at the valley in front of it, and its mood fluctuated a little.And after Ying Li and I entered here, the first sight was to fall on the magic herbs all over the valley, and the valley in front of me was planted with a large number of magic herbs, heather, sage, sun flower, flame grass, those that are usually seen and invisible in the magic herb shop, here are Ying Li's eyes are attracted by this valley, she can't help but take a step forward, but was pulled by the minotaur behind her."

I can't smell nature," the minotaur said to Ying Li as he looked warily at the valley floor in front of him overgrown with magical herbs.When the Fish-Man King crawled, his body looked a little embarrassed, but it didn't stop until its body seemed to touch an invisible light shield, and it looked at the herb garden in front of it stupidly, as if it was caught in some deep memory.At this moment, just in front of the invisible light mask, a red-skinned palm suddenly appeared out of thin air, that palm seemed to be able to cut this space, maybe he himself was invisible, when the Fish-Man King touched the invisible light-shield, that person stretched out his hand, his entire arm was also red, and the arm was engraved with mysterious magic runes, and those runes were consistent with the style of the runes displayed on the magic array of the Fish-Man King summoning the Demon Lord on the beach before, these runes were full of dark aura.Then a strange man with red skin and purple eyes with two horns coiled on his head appeared out of thin air, as if he had come out of a crack in space.He was covered with talismans, exuding a suffocating dark aura, his lower body was wrapped around a battle skirt, and he stood naked in front of the Fish-Man King, rubbing his forehead a little impatiently, sighed and said, "Have you forgotten the agreement between us?"

What did I say to you?

”The Fish-Man King trembled and fell to the ground, barely daring to look at the man, and said to the man, "When we meet again, you will take my soul" The man smiled and said to the Fish-Man King, "It seems that your memory is not bad, and you will soon find that I am a man who is willing to keep his word." ”After speaking, the man only took a step forward, and instantly stood in front of the Fishman King, squatted down and pressed one hand on the top of the Fishman King's head.The strong fishmen around them wanted to rush up to rescue the fish-man king, but when they only took a step forward, a layer of black flames ignited on their entire bodies, and they didn't even have a chance to struggle, they turned into a puff of green smoke and a handful of dust.
