Chapter 17: NDE
【Northwest Sea Expedition Road Lulan Sea Bottom】
The bottom of the sea is a paradise for fishmen, on the iron-blue rocks, all kinds of seabed algae and lichen plants are entrenched, and there are fishmen with dorsal fins and harpoons swimming around, and now they are not so relaxed, because a skeleton dragon with black scales was pulled into the water by the overlord squid, and at the position of the dragon's skull, Ike who was fixed by crossbow arrows looked painful.
"Boy! Are you okay! Ace's voice rang in Ike's ears: "Your collarbone has been shattered, and you are bleeding profusely, you will definitely die if you continue like this!" Ace looked at Ike's painful appearance, but felt a little powerless.
Ike felt that his strength was no longer enough for him to pull out the bolt, and he felt that it was already dark in front of him, as if he was about to fall into the abyss. He could clearly feel that his power was running out like crazy, and he was about to lose his breath.
"No, if it goes on like this, he will definitely die, damn it!" Ace gritted his teeth and looked at Ike and the huge tentacles behind him, in the back, an overlord squid looked at Ike on the black dragon with fierce eyes, Ace was ruthless, from the original illusory state, suddenly turned into a condensed body, in his hand, a dreamlike light pierced out of his palm, penetrated the sea water and went straight to the sky, the light illuminated the dark sea water, pierced through the gloomy sky.
"Seriously, I don't want to do this unless I have to." Ace thought in his heart, the rainbow light that went straight to the sky changed, and in an instant, Ace's figure disappeared, and in the place where he existed, countless bubbles appeared, and those bubbles deduced one scene after another, all of them were dreams, sweet dreams, nightmares, good dreams, drunken dreams, thousands of them, different.
In the midst of these bubbles, the rainbow light burst violently, but the fluctuations produced by the explosion were extremely wonderful, spreading in all directions in a colorful wave, the spread speed of the waves was still very slow, but all the creatures touched by the waves fell silent, as if they had entered a dream.
On the surface of the sea, Anne knew that it was Ace's masterpiece when she saw the rainbow light: "This ...... He actually used this trick, what the hell is going on! ”
"What kind of magic is this? Why is it so gorgeous. Even the well-informed Vivien not only had doubts, but when he saw Annie's worried expression, he knew that something bad had happened to Ike under the sea.
"That's ...... The Nightmare Song's forbidden art...... That magic can make all the creatures that radiate from the rainbow fall into a deep sleep, and then, as dream spirits, they can do anything in those people's dreams, including making the people in their dreams die. Vivien's words surprised Vivien.
"But...... Didn't the words of the Dream Spirit Clan have been ...... a long time ago" Vivien said a question that many people had, and Anne saw this, so she told the story.
"Actually...... I am the Apostle of Fire, and I am in a contractual relationship with Mars, and Ike ...... He had an Apostle of Dreams, and that little girl from the East should know best, she could feel the presence of the Apostle. Annie's words surprised many people, in fact, many people do not know what an apostle is, but the people of the elven race are very aware of the power of the apostle.
"So, can you tell me why you attacked Ike? Could it be because of his contract with the Dream Apostle? Cruise walked up to Ran, who nodded calmly.
"The Red Dragon Empire once captured an apostle and provided that apostle with a particularly generous treatment, but unfortunately, in another turmoil, that apostle was annihilated by a group of rebellious onmyoji, and you should all know about that turmoil." Lan's words raised people's interest.
"Could it be, the change of the Imperial Pavilion?" Cruise's answer made the three princes look at them with admiration, and they now admired Cruise as a powerful and knowledgeable leader.
"That's right, after the change of the Imperial Court, you in the West have also been hit by reactionary forces, and until now, there are still reactionary forces doing evil with the help of the remaining power of that apostle." Ran's words convinced Cruise very much, that turmoil not only broke the Eastern Empire, but also plunged the Crescent Empire into a war, and in the face of the blows of reactionary forces, the Crescent Empire sacrificed nearly 200,000 troops!
"The reason why I am looking for an apostle is to completely eradicate the reactionary forces, and I can tell you unabashedly that in three years, I will be the Emperor of the Red Dragon Empire!" Lan's words made Vivian smile, she had already seen that Lan was extraordinary, a person who could activate the dragon pattern at this age was definitely not an ordinary person, but the position of Emperor Cao of the Red Dragon Empire was really so easy to get?
"Can you please stop talking about empires and turmoil here! I don't care at all! All I know is that the man who saved me is still at the bottom of the sea! He could die at any moment! Gina's howling voice woke people up. Cruise slapped his head and felt a deep sense of weakness.
In this case, who would dare to go to sea? After going down, you will be hit by the rainbow light of the dream spirit and fall into a deep sleep, this situation is definitely certain death, not to mention, there are thousands of fish people.
For a moment, there was silence on the deck, and when the rainbow light faded, Cruise was ruthless and gave an indecisive order: "Keep going!" Travel to the Pole Islands! ”
"Nope! Are you going to leave him alone? He's with us! Did you just leave him like that? Gina clutched at his clothes, and Cruise yelled at her in a rage as she was confronted.
"Shut up! Don't forget our mission! The life of this boatload is more important than the life of one of his people! Despite Cruise's words, Gina looked into his eyes and saw that tears were already rolling in his eyes.
"Okay...... However, I won't believe that he will die like this, after the expedition is over, I will ask my mother to search this sea area, and there will be no fishmen left in this sea area! And, if he does die, I'm going to bury his body in the ancestral shrine! She finally relented, she let go of Cruise's clothes, and when the ship started, her pink hair was blown, and a few tears were clear on her beautiful face.
At the bottom of the sea, Ace killed all the fishmen in the nearby sea after falling into a dream, and killed them all in just a moment, the dream apostle's killing method is not bloodless, but the spirit is completely defeated, and there is no spiritual life, and the soul has lost contact with **, that is, death.
"First of all, we have to repair this kid's body...... Damn, Ike lost so much blood, and his heart is about to fail, just ......" Ace thought, the magic he had just released made him a little weak, he dragged Ike's body into the black dragon's skull, at least so that his body would not be damaged, and then, activated the spirit bead.
"Put his soul directly into this bead, if I'm not mistaken, this bead is pregnant with a soul, maybe there is an environment for nurturing the soul." Ace thought that the spirit bead had already emitted a dazzling light, and at the point of light in the center like a firefly, a human-shaped halo appeared, and the surrounding dragon-like light actively leaned forward and began to revolve around Ike's soul.
"The soul is fine...... Next is **, damn it, such a serious injury is really a headache for me, I have to get to land as soon as possible, but ...... How do you maintain the activity of his body? Ace was pondering when a dead stinger floated over, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something.
"That's right, the poisonous stinger dolphin's toxin! It can keep him in suspended animation! Then I slowly activated his blood cells and repaired his collarbone. With that, Ace grabbed the dead thorn dolphin, and his hand glowed, and then purple venom the size of a grain of rice appeared in his hand.
"This amount should be just right, below...... That's my business. "Ace is injecting the toxin into Ike's body while using his magic, fortunately he has killed all the fishmen in the vicinity, otherwise, if he is suddenly attacked at this stage, Ike will definitely not survive.
"Hematopoietic function, damn it, I learned resuscitation with Klector two thousand years ago, I don't know if it can still work now." Ace couldn't help but miss that annoying Clecter, although the creation apostle Clector was a chatter, but it should be the most useful at this time.
"It's not bad, I've started to recover my hematopoietic ability, but it takes a lot of energy, and that squid seems to be ......" Ace remembered the huge overlord squid, so he hurriedly ran to the guy's side, I have to say, this thing is indeed very big, but Ace doesn't matter how old he is, he can go up and gnaw it directly, whether it is raw or cooked, anyway, he is a condensed energy body, and if food enters the body, it will be turned into energy.
That's why he was able to stay underwater for so long without drowning or suffocating, and the energy body didn't need to breathe.
After a while, the huge squid was gnawed clean by Ace, leaving only some inedible remains, he felt that his physical strength was still not enough, after all, although the squid was big, but the calories were pitiful, and the energy that his flesh decomposed into was not particularly much, but it might be enough to repair Ike's body.
"This will allow him to last for three or five days, how can he reach land in three or five days?" He thought for a moment, then saw the black dragon: "Hey, bastard, do you know how to get to land quickly?" ”
For the black dragon that has been controlled by Ace, who has become his slave, he replied respectfully: "Master, if you take the underground undercurrent, you can reach the Poly Islands in about a day, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Ace heard that there was a risk, but he was still cautious, after all, he couldn't take any more risks, otherwise if this kid really died, the Duke would not spare him.
"There will be a lot of deep sharks on the road, and there is an undercurrent area, and we can use the deep undercurrent to reach the Pole Islands, but this person's body smells too bloody, and it will attract a lot of deep sharks." The black dragon's emotionless words made Ace silent for a while, he thought for a while and said:
"It's okay, it's okay to go deeper, those sharks, you can use them, I can have a few more servants, as long as I can find a doctor quickly." Ace said, and the black dragon swam towards the bottom of the sea.
At Ike's neck, the coiling dragon necklace floated out of his clothes, and in the light of the spirit bead, Ike's soul fell asleep quietly, and the dragon-like light snuggled up to Ike, extremely well-behaved.
