Section 504 The Sword of Miri
Angels ran all the way back to the slope of the trench. Depending on the size of the octopus, it would be difficult to get here.
After entering the trench with a width of less than 100 meters, Angel returned the soul to his body, and because he did not have time to recover the soul power, he knocked a soul bead again, let the soul power slowly recover, and then swam with Qi Li in the direction of the end of the trench.
In the process, Qi Li also slowly regained some strength and was able to act on her own.
However, her face was pale, her lips were a little bluish, and she looked sickly.
"Is there really no problem with failing the soul challenge?" Ingres asked worriedly, "Shall I take you away?"
Qi Li shook her head: "No, I'm basically fine now." It doesn't hurt to fail the soul challenge, lose a mother fire, and you can recapture it later. β
Qi Li said it lightly, but only she knew how difficult it was to capture the Mother Fire again.
Seeing Qi Li's insistence, Angel didn't say anything more. Instead, he focused on the squid clan that he was dragging in his hand, and he sensed that the squid clan had long since died, but the body was well protected by the big octopus, and there was no sign of corruption.
I just don't know what this squid means to that big octopus, why is it carried with it?
Qi Li also looked at it at this time, and took out a portable oil lamp, and by the bright light of the fire, the figure of the squid clan was very clear.
This is a male squid tribe, its face is very vicious, but in the original mural depiction of the squid totem, it is already considered acceptable to human aesthetics.
Its upper body was draped in a somewhat tattered gray linen cloth, and some lines could be faintly seen on the remaining rags.
Ingres thought it was some kind of decorative pattern, but after reading it, Qi Li was convinced: "This is a communicative symbol, which should belong to some kind of primitive morphograph." β
"I'll take a look at what it says. Qi Li said, her eyes surging with magic.
When Qi Li read the lines on the cloth with words, Angel showed a happy expression, fortunately Qi Li came to him, otherwise he would have really missed too much information.
If he had been walking alone, it would have been impossible for him to interpret these messages, depending on his ability.
This time, the Purification Garden is obviously not only testing the survivability and strength, but also the accumulation of the wizard itself, which happens to be Angel's shortcoming.
After a while, Qi Li rubbed her eyebrows and said in a tired voice: "This is a kind of prayer for sacrifices, which means to sacrifice this squid to a creature named Oketubo. Among them, a large number of words are in praise of the majesty of Oak Tubo. β
Qi Li translated it simply.
"According to the description in the text, that big octopus is Oak Tuber?" said Angel.
"As it should be. Qi Li added: "This prayer does not give many clues, at most I know the identity of the octopus, as well as the name of this squid clan - Kaguang Budan." β
After turning their attention away from the prayer, their attention fell again to Kaguang.
Angel remembered that the squid clan, whose upper body was a human and the lower body was a fish, was the first of all the totems. In a hierarchical civilization, this squid tribe named Kaguang may still be a powerful class in the squid settlement. Unfortunately, in the end, he died at the sacrifice of his clansmen.
After nothing noticeable about the Clan's appearance, Ingres and Qili's eyes were focused on its chest at the same time.
The sword of Meirui is the heart scale of the squid clan.
Ingres tore open his bare robe, revealing his bare chest.
Sure enough, as recorded in the text, at the mouth of its heart, there were four sword-shaped scales, and in the bright firelight, it was clearly visible that the color of the scales was golden, as if there was a flow of glass light.
With a flick of the flick, Angel removed the scales.
When the heartmouth scales were removed, Angel realized that the scales were actually in pairs, and the two scales together were a sword of Mirui.
While Angel tinkered with Miri's sword, Qi Li set her eyes on Ka Guang's chest, where four heart scales were missing, and four small blood holes appeared.
Qi Li thought in her eyes: "I remember that in the totem you showed me, the upper body is a human and the lower body is a fish, and there are four points on the chest. I didn't think much of it at first, but now it seems that this means that this squid clan has four heart scales?"
With Qili's reminder, Angel also recalled the picture he saw at the time: "The upper body is a human and the lower body is a fish, and there are indeed four points on the chest, and the side is a person, and there are three points on the chest of the fish sideways, and the lower body is two points on the chest of the upper body of the fish, and the rest are all only one point...... If the number of points is the number of scales, then we are lucky enough to be able to combine two Swords of Miri, just one for each person. β
Angel handed a Miri sword to Qili, keeping one for herself.
After Qi Li accepted Mirui's sword, she said lightly: "It seems that the number of scales on the chest represents the class of the Pig clan." At the same time, it can also be inferred that the higher the class, the less the corresponding squid tribe, and conversely, the squid tribe should have only one heart scale. β
Speaking of this, Qi Li sneered: "The mechanical city has a good calculation, in the end, the vast majority of apprentices will definitely only get a piece of heart scales, and if they want to synthesize the sword of Mirui, they will either continue to look for the squid clan, or only ......"
"Snatch. β
......
With the Sword of Merry in place, another problem arises. How do you use the Sword of Miri to find the final altar?
As Ingres pondered the use of Miri's sword, Cherry paused and extinguished the flame of the oil lamp in her hand. The surroundings instantly darkened, and when Angel was wondering about Qili's movements, he noticed a white light flickering in the darkness in the distance.
The place where the white light flickered was the same place they had left not long agoβthe underwater watchtower.
Angels clearly remembered that when they left the watchtower, the fire was extinguished. But now there is a light again, and apparently, there is another wave of visitors in the watchtower?
"Is it the frogskin, or is it someone else?" said Ingres.
"Just look at it. Qi Li said.
Angel agrees to go over and take a look, and if it's a frogskin, he can catch them and ask how to use Miri's sword. Thinking of this, the two secretly reached a consensus and quietly walked towards the watchtower.
Darkness was a natural protective color, and they approached a hundred meters from the watchtower.
Angel remembered that the last time he encountered the round fortress at the bottom of the sea, the frogskin monster had spotted him from a hundred meters away, but now there was no movement, could it be that the visitor to the watchtower was not a frogskin monster?
While Angel was pondering, Qi Li suddenly said, "It's not the Gol tribe, it's a human." Luna hears the lingua franca voice coming from within. β
If it weren't for the Pige clan, the two of them would be uninterested in it instantly. However, Ingres still planned to go over and take a look, what if he happened to meet Nausicaa, although he didn't know if Nausicaa had made it to the Sea of Purification.
Qi Li didn't want to go, so she stayed where she was. Ingres turned on the boundless silence and quietly approached the watchtower.
As Angel approached, he suddenly heard a shout from inside the watchtower: "This is mine, you better die!"
Unexpectedly, it was still a snatching scene? Ingres's eyes flashed with curiosity, and at the same time, he faintly felt that this voice seemed a little familiar?
Accompanied by a huge energy fluctuation, a miserable cry with resentment came from within: "Yi!
The image of a man in a cloak flashed in Angel's mind, it was none other than Ixiu who had formed a team with Shan Yeluo!
Ingres also remembered that scream, it seemed to be a guy named Froude.
Listening to the tone, it seems that Ishu wants to snatch something? Angel pondered for a moment before leaving. He could feel that there were only two energy reactions in the watchtower, and it was thought that it was Ishu and Flod. He didn't know either of them, and he didn't bother to get involved in other people's infighting, which was too troublesome.
But just as Angel turned to leave, Ixiu's hoarse voice came: "Who?"
While Ingres was still wondering why his boundless silence had failed again, a strong wind with a strong smell of blood struck behind him.
Angel turned sideways, dodging the attack, and when he looked back, he saw that Ishu had reached the top of the watchtower at some point, and there was a large amount of blood floating in the water vapor around him.
Angels' form slowly emerged.
When Yi Xiu saw the person clearly, his pupils shrank, and his brows furrowed tightly: "It turned out to be you!"
Ixiu paused, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect Lord Sanders's tall feet to have a habit of listening to people's corners, just that time in the wasteland, I don't know what explanation you should give this time?"
Angel didn't expect to be discovered by Yi Xiu, and listening to Yi Xiu's tone, he seemed to have discovered more than once that the last time he followed Shan Yeluo to their gathering place, he was actually discovered by him?
Once again, Ingres lost faith in the "boundless silence".
It's just a matter of being spotted by the frogskin monster and the oak tupo, and even if the sense of presence is weakened in the water, the water flow and foam are indeed easy to expose. But before he entered the Sea of Purification, he was actually discovered by other apprentices, and now he pointed it out, which made Ingres both helpless and a little embarrassed.
"I saw a light here, so I came to see it, and I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Ingres took the initiative to take a step back, in the uncertain and dangerous sea of purification, it was worth saving a little mana.
Angels' initiative to back down made Ixiu's expression slightly better. He doesn't really want to offend Angels, who had saved them in the lava field, and Ingres's identity background is also very strong.
Thinking of this, Yi Xiu said in a cold voice: "Since this is the case, then I won't send it." β
Angel nodded, turning and walking into the darkness. But he hadn't gone far before the black cat Luna suddenly came out of the side, meowed, and stepped on Ingres's feet with her paws.
Before Ingres could figure out what was going on, Luna removed her paws, and a small worm with a triangular back and rainbow spots appeared in his eyes.
"Third-order siphon worms?!" Even though Ingres didn't know much about demon insects, he had heard of this kind of killer who was both highly poisonous and extremely stealthy. Its poison can even kill wizard apprentices who have been injected with blood!
If it weren't for Luna by his side this time, if he was attacked by a siphon worm, his body would definitely not be able to resist its attack.
Thinking of this, Angel was afraid for a while, and looked at Yi Xiu with cold eyes.
"What do you mean by that?"
Ishu also had a gloomy face, looking at the black cat Luna. This cat is here, representing the heir of Lilith's family, and it should be nearby.
"It's not interesting, it's just a precaution. Didn't I let it attack? Ishu shrugged.
Ingres was about to speak when a translucent figure suddenly ran out of the watchtower.
"Don't take his word for it, he's found the Sword of Mirui on you!"
