Chapter 111 - 88: Different Races Born from Pregnancy? Three-star food! _2
She artfully brandished her blood-craving staff and let loose a void fire spell on the creature.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak !”
A piercing shriek resounded from the creature’s mouth.
The thin creature immediately fell to the ground, screaming its anguish.
Zheng Cheng’s eyes sparkled decisively.
That’s right.
These Black Sludge Fishmen stole an ancient coral species offering from Li Zhen. He didn’t understand the connection, but their interest was clear.
For the Fishmen, the ancient coral species was incredibly important.
If not, they would not be desperately trying to kill Qin Zheng.
In the face of extreme anger, void fire was the ultimate weapon!
“Hoo !”
Another void fire spell crashed into the crowd of Fishmen, toppling them to the ground in a chorus of screams.
Every so often, the spell for Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption erupted within the crowd, gradually leading the otherwise dominant Fishmen towards collapse.
Like this, the seven regrouped, Qin Zheng and Zheng Cheng leading, soon driving the Fishmen into retreat.
Eventually, after more than an hour.
Only about a dozen Black Sludge Fishmen remained, escaping into nearby steaming rivers in a sorry state.
Zheng Cheng and the others also gasped for breath, ceasing their attack.
“Damn … we can finally rest a bit.”
Without minding his image, Cai Shen slumped to the ground, his wings limply drooping at his sides.
His feathers were drenched in a mix of blood and sweat.
The others were in a similar state. Even Zhou Zhixue, Song Chaoyu, and Li Zhen, Liang Feifan, who are magic professionists, also had vacant eyes, leaning on the colossal snake-shaped rock.
Their mental exhaustion was severe, their minds aching like mush.
They needed to rest and recover their spirit.
Li Zhen took a couple of recovery potions from his item slot and handed them to Zheng Cheng and the others.
“This is the recovery potion made by our family’s apothecary. Use it to recover your strength quickly.”
As Zheng Cheng looked down at it, he saw it was a sky-blue potion enclosed in a transparent glass bottle. It appeared brilliantly translucent.
[Potion: Mystic Essence Potion]
[Effect: Consumable. Recovers 20 points of spirit within the first hour of consumption, with a total of 30 points recovered over two hours.]
[Note: Only Professionists under LV30 can consume.]
No surprise there – the offspring of a renowned lineage, his simple recovery potion was multiple times stronger than average clarity potions.
Upon drinking the potion, Zheng Cheng instantly felt a stream of coolness flood his mind.
His spirit was rapidly recovering.
At that moment, Li Zhen said, “Zheng Cheng, thank you very much this time!”
“Without you, Qin Zheng and I might have died here.”
Zheng Cheng replied, “Don’t mention it. We’re all colleagues here.”
“And as we agreed earlier, if any of us run into trouble, we just use the rescue charm, and it’s the others’ duty to come to the rescue.”
“That’s different.” Li Zhen laughed bitterly. “We originally thought it’d be you guys asking for help first, didn’t expect…”
“Enough with that. It’s critical that we find the other three members.”
“Exactly.”
Qin Zheng got up, gripping his wolf-head stick and coming over.
“Whatever comes to mind about the missions, we still have no news from the Bai brothers, especially Jiaojiao. We don’t even know where she could be right now.”
“We have to find them first!”
“I have a searching skill. I’ll try to see if I can find them.”
“Alright.”
After saying that, Zheng Cheng activated Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique and inputted Bai Jingqi’s name.
In no time, a faint green line appeared in his mind.
The green light that represented Bai Jingqi was continually blinking.
Next to him, there was a faint flare of green light, seemingly about to disappear any moment.
Besides, there were lots of red dots surrounding them, at least a hundred!
That direction… is the other side of the river!
“Found them!”
Zheng Cheng immediately said, “I found where Bai Jingqi is. Bai Jingsheng looks like he’s seriously injured, and they’re surrounded by enemies…”
“What about Jiaojiao!” Li Zhen quickly asked, “Have you located Jiaojiao too?”
Zheng Cheng inputted Li Jiao’s name into the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique again, and a green path appeared, trailing off not too far away.
The green light was still blinking.
Her location was… inside the river!
Zheng Cheng strangely said, “Li Jiao’s location is inside the river!”
“What?”
Li Zhen startled, “How is that possible? Jiaojiao can’t swim. Why is she in the river?”
“I don’t know.” Zheng Cheng shrugged, “Perhaps the black sludge Fishmen caught her and took her in…”
“Black Sludge Fishmen…”
Li Zhen’s complexion changed drastically.
Just thinking about the repulsive appearance of the black sludge Fishmen made him nauseous.
They… ate human flesh!
If Li Jiao was truly caught by a black sludge Fishman, her chances of survival were slim!
“I’ll go support Jingqi and them!”
Qin Zheng decided decisively, “Jiaojiao is in the river, we can’t do anything to save her, we can only go and help Jingqi and the others first…”
“No!”
Li Zhen immediately said, “Bai Jingqi is an eight-star-level professionist, also an MT. As long as he decides to run, he won’t be in danger.”
“And Jiaojiao, if something happens to her, how should I explain to the family…”
Unlike the Bai brothers,
Li Zhen and Li Jiao were blood siblings!
“Um…”
Qin Zheng hesitated, “Even though we have a potion that allows us to breathe underwater, it only lasts for three minutes, and the cooldown is a lengthy one hour!”
