Above the mage!

Chapter 350 Tidal Net
The effects of the spell are powerful.

The serious injuries that made ordinary people feel helpless were quickly alleviated by the [Healing Technique].

After the spell ended, Doctor Danika stopped and went to another wooden bed, where she used the [Healing Spell] to treat the injured person.

The lantern floating on her shoulder seemed to have its own life. It followed Dr. Danika's movements very intelligently and always remained suspended on her shoulder.

Soon, the four poor people from Makoko District who were seriously injured and unconscious were all treated.

After finishing her work, Doctor Danica turned around and greeted Goddard, who she had noticed standing at the door, "Mr. Sir."

There was a gentle and kind aura about her.

"Doctor Danica, your [Healing Technique] has saved these seriously injured people. It is truly admirable." Goder placed his right hand on his chest, leaned forward slightly, and bowed. His movements were elegant and dignified.

This was a common formal etiquette in the Plantagenet dynasty to show respect to a lady, especially when the other party was a respected physician.

Doctor Danica nodded slightly, with a kind smile on her face. "Sir, the Lord has given me knowledge and power. I am just following the Lord's will and using my abilities to help those in distress."

"Lord" is a common name used by sects in this world to refer to their faith.

This is also a very special point. In this world, there is no so-called "God".

Therefore, the religious system of this world is based on an atheistic worldview. They believe in either natural forces such as "nature", "ocean" and "sky", or abstract concepts such as "time", "life" and "light".

However, there are a few religions that believe in the strong.

In the ancient times when human civilization had not yet been fully born, ancient gods were born all over the world. These ancient gods, with their own power and achievements, were enough to become the objects of following and admiration.

The so-called ancient gods are actually some inhumanly powerful beings. Although they have powers beyond ordinary people, they cannot control the world like gods. The word "god" is what Gao De thinks in his heart. It is a concept he defined for the sake of ease of understanding. The term "god" does not yet exist in this world.

Regardless of what the object of faith of each sect is, the clergy, such as Dr. Danica in front of us, usually call the object of their faith "the Lord."

Although the "Lord" they believe in may vary greatly in nature.

Goder stated his purpose, "Doctor Danica, I am here to expel the water beasts. I heard that someone was attacked by the magic octopus last night, so I came here to learn more about the situation."

Doctor Danica looked at the injured on the bed. They had not woken up yet, but the pain on their faces had faded a lot. "Sir, they should wake up soon. Please wait a moment."

"Ok."

Doctor Danica folded her hands over her chest and said softly, "It's a pity that I'm not good at fighting and can't help them drive away the water beasts. Thank you for your efforts. If you need my help, as long as it is within my ability, please call me."

"Don't worry, I'm particularly good at fighting." Gao De said softly.

In the medical clinic, besides the wounded and Dr. Danika, there was also a young woman.

She is the Yan that Sharma mentioned. She is a native resident of the Makoko District. Doctor Danika taught her some medical knowledge and she is usually responsible for the minor illnesses of some local residents.

"Doctor Danica, what sect do you belong to?" Goder asked casually while the injured man had not yet woken up and was waiting to chat.

"The Tidetalkers, the tides are the whispers of the ocean," said Doctor Danika, caressing her chest.

In Lagos city, most sects are associated with "fishing" and "agriculture", and the Tidetalkers are no exception.

This is a sect that worships the tides. They use the tides to predict the trajectory of storms, guide fishermen on when to go out to sea, and protect the fishermen's safety.

Although the belief in "tides" sounds a bit unpresentable and cannot be compared with grand things such as "ocean" and "sky", for many people, a good belief is one that can provide practical value.

The Tidetalkers' ability to predict storm tracks is very important to fishermen, so the Tidetalkers have a long tradition in Lagos.

"But that was in the past. Now the situation of the sect is getting worse day by day." Doctor Danica sighed deeply and frowned.

Gao De originally wanted to ask about the specific situation, but at this moment the injured person on the bed moved.

The first injured person who received [Healing Technique] treatment has opened his eyes and regained consciousness.

He first looked around in confusion, and when he saw Doctor Danica, he reacted and stood up with difficulty, wanting to express his gratitude: "Doctor Danica"

Doctor Danica stepped forward and stopped him. "Your injuries are still serious. Lie down well."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to Gao De behind her and said, "This is the magician from the Sea Sentinel. He is here to eliminate the water beasts. He heard that you were attacked by a group of magic octopuses last night, so he came here to learn more about the situation."

"Sir," the wounded man said respectfully when he saw Gao De wearing a sea sentry uniform.

"Do you still remember the details of the attack last night? Can you tell me in detail?" Gao De asked.

At the entrance of the medical clinic.

Sharma kept rubbing his hands together, waiting.

The medical center is a sacred place for the people in the Makoko area. Except for the injured, no one else dares to enter it.

I was afraid of offending Dr. Danica, and I was also afraid that my intrusion would affect the treatment.

Finally, after an anxious wait, Gao De came out.

"Let's go." Without stopping for long, he took steady steps and jumped onto the boat swiftly, as if he had learned some important information in the medical clinic.

Shama quickly untied the rope tied to the wooden stake and boarded the boat. The boat shook slightly with his movements.

Then he followed Gaode's instructions and rowed away.

Soon, Gode took Shama's boat and arrived at the location where the magic octopus attacked the residents of Makoko District last night.

The place was in a mess, with sheds falling to pieces, and it was completely silent. It was obvious that the magic octopuses were no longer here.

Clearing out the magic octopus is not as easy as dealing with the foul water salamanders yesterday. We can just sit back and wait for the foul water salamanders that go out to look for food to come to us one by one.

The magic octopus is a water animal that moves in groups. Although they are typical omnivorous animals with a good appetite and can eat all kinds of domestic garbage discharged from Lagos City into the waters of the Makoko District, their staple food is still meat.

On the one hand, they would brutally attack the residents of the Makoko area and feed on human flesh, and on the other hand, they would also catch fish in the water.

In order to find food, they wander around in this vast water area, have no fixed place to live, and do not have a so-called fixed "nest".

This is another difference from the rancid water salamander.

Finally, the number of magic octopuses is far less than that of putrid water salamanders, but their individual strength is much stronger than that of putrid water salamanders.

Once their powerful tentacles wrap around their prey, it is difficult to escape.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to find the magic octopus lurking in the waters of the huge and complex Makoko area.

However, this is the case with most water beast elimination missions, and basically a lot of time has to be spent searching for water beasts.

In this case, Gaode no longer felt sorry for Tuanzi.

He opened the capybara bag he always carried with him.

Tuanzi's slightly tiny head emerged from the capybara bag, blinking its big round eyes.

It has been in the capybara bag for two days, and it is so suffocated that it can't help shaking its head at Gaode.

Gao De gently patted Tuanzi's round head, took out a piece of torn cloth and handed it under Tuanzi's nose, then pointed his finger at the turbid green water.

The strip of cloth was taken from a wounded person in the medical clinic and was stained with the scent of the demon octopus.

Tuanzi sniffed the scent on the cloth strip, and his originally lazy eyes instantly became excited, and then he turned his head excitedly.

Then it saw the turbid "green water".

There were some unidentified objects floating on the water, emitting a disgusting smell.

Tuanzi is no longer excited.

It deflated visibly to the naked eye. If there were such things as facial expressions, then the dumpling must have been frowning at this moment.

The first time on duty in a “career” is such a “hellish” challenge.

It turned its head and looked at Gode again.

Gao De raised his eyebrows slightly. He was really smart. He didn't use [Beast Bond +] to convey his thoughts to Tuanzi this time, but with just a few movements, Tuanzi could fully understand what he meant and even convey his thoughts to him.

But being smart is one thing, and some bitter dumplings still have to be eaten.

"After you complete the task, I'll give you a snack." Gaode patted Tuanzi's round head again.

Now Tuanzi accepted his fate.

It puffed up its cheeks slightly, a bit like a winter swimmer taking a deep breath before going into the water, and then with a neat jump, it plunged into the sewage that was bubbling with green bubbles.

Although the height was not low, Tuanzi barely made any splashes when entering the water. His level of splash suppression was much better than that of a certain country's professional players in his previous life.

After all, capybaras have always been nicknamed water elves.

After entering the water, Tuanzi first swam underwater, swaying his body flexibly and using his keen sense of smell to search for the trace of the magic octopus.

After a while, the fish's round head quickly surfaced, came to the side of the boat, and pointed into the distance with its fin.

This means that it has found the whereabouts of the magic octopus.

Gao De's face lit up with joy.

Originally, he was worried that the waters in the Makoko area were too smelly, which would affect Tuanzi's ability to find the magic octopus by smell, but he didn't expect Tuanzi to be so capable.

Another point is that the smell of the magic octopus is strong enough, and they appear in groups, mixed together, so the smell does not dissipate so quickly.

"Follow." Gode instructed Shama.

Shama immediately paddled hard to catch up with the capybara.

In the water.

Dozens of black tentacles shot out at an extremely fast speed with a fierce momentum, like a whip, and rolled towards Gaode who was standing on the bow.

The surface of these tentacles is smooth and moist, and is covered with densely packed suction cups. Once you are touched by them, it is difficult to break free.

But these tentacles, which came at him with great force, came to an abrupt stop several feet away from Gaode, as if they had hit a solid wall.

A transparent shield surrounded him, blocking all tentacles.

The tentacles kept hitting the shield, making a "bang bang" sound, but they were unable to break through this solid defense.

【Shield+】.

Tuanzi took advantage of this moment to attack swiftly. He seized the opportunity and opened his mouth to bite a water beast.

The bitten water beast swung its body wildly, splashing water everywhere, and its eight tentacles were swinging violently.

But its struggles didn't work.

Although Tuanzi looks well-behaved, he is actually extremely ferocious in battle.

Tuanzi's sharp teeth were deeply embedded in the water beast's body. At the same time, he cleverly twisted his body to flexibly avoid the attacks of the tentacles.

With Tuanzi's tracking, it took more than an hour for Gaode to successfully track down the group of magic octopuses that attacked the residents of Makoko District last night.

The battle broke out immediately.

There are eleven magic octopuses in this group, and each one is of the first ring level.

It is not particularly difficult to deal with, but it is not that easy to wipe them out completely. After all, Gaode is really unwilling to go into the water to pursue them.

Therefore, the main focus must be on being “fast, accurate and ruthless”.

The demon octopus that was bitten by Tuanzi let out a low roar, and the voice was full of anger and fear.

To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. The magic octopus entangled by the ball is the leader of this group of magic octopuses.

Seeing this, the other magic octopuses rushed towards Tuanzi, trying to rescue their leader.

This is a major characteristic of social animals.

And this is exactly what Gaode wants.

They swarmed towards the ball, their tentacles waving rapidly in the water, creating whirlpools of water.

Those dozens of tentacles in the water were like dozens of black pythons, wrapping around Tuanzi, trying to restrain the flexible Tuanzi.

But Tuanzi reacted very quickly. When the tentacles surged up, he loosened his grip extremely flexibly, and at the same time passed through the tiny gaps left by the tentacles, swimming flexibly, and broke out of the encirclement of the magic octopus's tentacles like an elf.

"Now!" Gaode, who cast [Detection Magic +] on the boat, used the magical light to penetrate the water surface and accurately captured the fighter plane created by him and Tuanzi.

The next moment, waves surged on the water surface.

The waves condensed into ropes, which were then woven into a huge fishing net, like a huge pocket, which instantly trapped all the gathered magic octopuses.

[Tidal Net+] (Conjuration, 1st level):

You magically create a tidal net made of water.
Additional: For an additional cost, you can increase the size of your Tidal Net to affect Huge or larger creatures.

The tidal net is a deep blue in color. As the net rises, countless tiny streams of water interweave together like silk threads, forming a densely packed large net.

These threads appear soft, but they have amazing toughness and strength.

Tiny bubbles constantly emerge from the surface of the water network, making a "gurgling" sound.

In order to ensure that these magic octopuses could be completely trapped, Gaode consumed 5 drops of liquid mana and created a huge tidal net.

The magic octopuses sensed the danger and began to struggle frantically, slapping the water net with their thick tentacles in an attempt to break free from the net.

The tidal net was rippled by the slapping of the magic octopus's tentacles, and the surface of the water net was undulating like waves, but it was obviously not fragile and soon returned to its original state.

Of course, if this continues, it is only a matter of time before the tidal net is broken free as the magic power is depleted.

But Gaode will not give them such an opportunity.

He saw that Tuanzi had swam away from the water cleverly at his signal and no longer hesitated.

An arc of electricity burst out from Gode's fingertips, accompanied by a crackling sound, and sank into the water.

【Lightning traction】

Electric arcs shuttled through the water and quickly expanded into an electric grid, covering the eleven demon octopuses.

The magic octopuses felt this powerful threat. Fear flashed in their eyes. They twisted their bodies frantically and waved their thick tentacles wildly in the water, trying to avoid this deadly attack.

However, they were trapped in tidal nets with nowhere to hide.

When the electric grid touched their bodies, strong electric currents instantly raged through their bodies.

The demon octopuses roared in pain, and the sound echoed in the water, filled with despair and fear.

Their bodies twitched violently under the stimulation of the electric current, their tentacles curled and stretched uncontrollably, gradually becoming charred and emitting a pungent burnt smell.

However, as a ring creature, the magic octopus has extremely strong vitality and did not die even in this situation.

The problem is not big.

Gaode added another [Lightning Pull].

After three consecutive [Lightning Pulls], the magic octopuses finally stopped struggling. They had lost their vitality and floated on the water.

Gao De smiled slightly, very satisfied with the results of the battle.

Electric fishing is always the most efficient way to catch fish.

This is certified by Fisherman.
