Time goes back to last night——

The fish people were hiding in the underground caves under the monastery. Earlier, Hague Castle sent rare food, and the portion was very sufficient.

For the blue-ringed murlocs who were forced to leave their homes, the food they carried had long since run out, and they had to skimp on food along the way to barely have enough.

With the food provided by The Hague Castle, everyone was very excited, and many cubs also smiled again, as if they had forgotten the sadness of their home being occupied.

Blue-ringed fish people are very optimistic and carefree fish people. They have a motto: even if there is no bait, the fish will always take the bait.

But an optimistic attitude cannot change the predicament.

Cross sat closest to the exit. Because the leader of the fishmen was obliged to protect the safety of his members, he personally guarded the entrance and exit of the cave.

He was very worried.

The fish people have moved from the eastern part of the Big Tree Sea to the southern part of the Big Tree Sea along the river, but still have not found a suitable home for survival.

Cross understood the reason why The Hague Castle could not keep them, and he also knew that he and his tribe had to leave.

Can……

Where else to go?

There are only two ways now. One is to go upstream along the river and go to the depths of the sea of ​​trees. The second is to go to the eastern edge of the sea of ​​trees regardless of the direction of the river.

But either of these two choices is a narrow escape.

There are only relatively low-level monsters and beasts on the periphery of the Big Tree Sea, but the deeper you go into the Big Tree Sea, the danger level will increase exponentially.

With the fighting power of this group of murlocs, entering the Sea of ​​Trees is like bringing fresh river food to your doorstep...

And from the edge to the east of the sea of ​​trees, the chance of survival is also slim.

Murlocs cannot stay out of the water for long periods of time, which means that the migration route of blue-ringed murlocs must follow the river.

If they go east, can they find a new water source before they are killed? What's more, even if they go east, will there be enough water for them to live there?

Cross was very worried. As the leader, everyone in the tribe had entrusted their lives to him, and Cross could not live up to this trust.

But at the same time, he also knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible and there was no time to hesitate.

Looking at the tribesmen distributing food, Cross decided to set off on the road after everyone was full. No matter what was waiting for them ahead, at least everyone was still together.

When Cross made up his mind, he suddenly heard the exclamations of the tribesmen. He turned around and saw an eye-catching magic circle lit up on the wet ground, which caused the surrounding murlocs to avoid it.

There are indeed mages, priests and even warlocks among the murlocs, but for these blue-ringed murlocs who have never had contact with the outside world in their lives, they only know that magic is magical and awesome, but they don't understand anything else.

In fact, Cross's understanding of magic came from watching Perrenli bomb the Lizardmen not long ago.

The only thing that is clear is that anything related to magic is not to be messed with.

"Back off! Back off! Keep an eye on the young son!"

All Cross could do was to tell the tribesmen to stay away, but there was no other way.

In the aura of the magic circle, the murlocs saw a man in a cloak appear, as if he had always been there.

From the body curve, she looked like a woman. Because she was wearing a hood, she couldn't see her face clearly, and for some reason, Cross always felt that she looked familiar.

"You...are the blue-ringed fish people, right?"

If you can communicate, there may be no ill intentions.

Cross was actually very timid, but as the leader, he had to bite the bullet and answer:

"Yes, we are blue-ringed fish people. Let's leave now. Don't attack us."

He thought the other party was here to clean up the fishmen, so he quickly begged for mercy.

There was silence on the other side, and the sound might have been amplified by magic, so loud that all the murlocs in the cave could hear it clearly:

"On behalf of my master, I declare to you that you will have food, safety and a home."

This sentence made the fish people whisper, really not understanding what happened.

"You are lucky, but now you need to make a decision immediately whether you are willing to go with me to your new home."

The other party did not explain, or was too lazy to explain. He just brought a fact and then waited for the murlocs or Cross to decide whether to follow this unidentified woman.

As mentioned earlier, Cross is timid and not very powerful. From any aspect, he does not seem to be a good candidate to be the leader.

But Cross has one advantage, and that is decisiveness.

Having seen The Hague Castle being attacked before, he decided to go back and bring in reinforcements without any hesitation. Cross's decisiveness was indeed an advantage.

He won't hesitate too much and can lead his people to the path he thinks is right.

Staying here is death, and continuing to move aimlessly is also death. In this case, I choose to give it a try.

Almost as soon as the other party finished speaking, Cross raised his hand:

"We are willing, if you can give us a home and prosperity, we are willing to go with you."

His decisiveness is surprising, but it doesn't matter.

The woman took off her hood, revealing a pair of slightly curved horns:

"You made the right choice."

Cross suddenly remembered why he felt that the cloak looked familiar, because it was worn on Pei Renli not long ago...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The vegetation density of the Big Tree Sea is very high. After all, it is a huge forest that is described by the word sea.

The closer you go to the center, the coverage of plants will become more and more exaggerated, and the shade of the trees can even create darkness that makes you unable to see your fingers.

But this is not a problem for travelers walking in the forest, because they are blue-ringed fish people and have dark vision.

The sea of ​​trees was very nice today. It did not rain heavily, but only sparse light rain.

Listening to the rustle of rain falling on the leaves, Cross wiped the mucus on his face. The moisture made the fishman feel very comfortable. He called to the tribesmen behind him to confirm that no one was left behind, and continued to follow Ravna towards the sea of ​​trees.

Go deeper.

When Cross first saw Ravna leading them deeper into the sea of ​​trees, he was actually taking a gamble.

Even if they have never been to the depths, the fish people have heard of the dangers in the depths of the Big Tree Sea, and now there is simply no other way.

Surprisingly, they didn't encounter any monsters along the way.

This was not just good luck, nor was it a deliberate attempt to avoid the monsters. Cross felt that it was more like the monsters had avoided them, or in other words, Ravna.

Cross didn't know about the relationship between Ravna and Perrenli, and he didn't dare to ask. Besides, this was not important to the fishmen. What was important was that the other party promised to give them a home, which made every fishman jump for joy.

They had followed Ravna for a day and a night without any pause.

Murlocs are weak in strength and agility. Apart from their swimming skills in the water, their biggest advantage is their endurance.

But even if the fishmen have more endurance, not only young adults are included in the migration team, but many elderly people and young children may soon be unable to hold on.

As the leader, Cross was of course paying attention to the situation of his tribe at all times. Although he did not dare to ask Ravna, for the sake of his tribe, he still decided to propose a break.

"Stop."

Ravna, who was leading the way, stood firm, turned around and said to Cross:

"Let your people rest where they are. There is a river nearby to draw water. You only have half an hour."

She seemed to have predicted what Cross wanted to say, and this break came very timely.

The diet of fishmen is similar to that of lizardmen, with fish, shellfish and insects as their staple food, but they can also digest human food.

He took out the packaged noodles, which also contained some dried fish and eggs, which were sent by people from The Hague Castle.

The eggs are fresh and must be eaten as soon as possible, and the fish people prefer to eat raw food, so I saw them throwing the eggs directly into their mouths, chewing the eggshells and swallowing them...

Quite vigorous.

Cross asked people to fetch water from the nearby river and distributed food. He took the bread and eggs and hesitated whether to give a portion to Ravna.

She hasn't eaten or slept all day, so she doesn't know if she has enough strength to hold on.

But when he saw Ravna leaning against the tree, surrounded by an aura that said no strangers should enter, Cross was scared...

A group of fishmen should eat and drink. The abundant food and the longing for their new home made them full of interest, at least they were not in good spirits.

Ravna looked at them with a low blood pressure, guessing that the time was almost up, and was about to tell Cross to get back on the road.

But at this moment, Ravna suddenly turned around without warning and looked at the darkness in the forest that was covered by the shade of the trees.

——Boom!

——Boom!

The heavy sound was approaching, as if it was some kind of giant.

This frightened the fishmen who had just eaten and drank enough. They quickly protected the elderly and children in the circle, while the young and middle-aged people stayed outside, forming a formation that looked quite fragile.

A pair of eyes that glowed slightly in the darkness slowly emerged from the dark woods. The eyes were as big as lanterns.

Ravna is a creature created by the Demon King of Violence. She has the ability to control monsters, but unlike the Demon King of Violence himself, Ravna can only control monsters that are weaker than her.

There were no monsters encountered along the way because they were dispersed by Ravna's ability. The presence of a monster that was not affected by the dispersal meant that it was at least the same level as Ravna.
