Chapter 22: The Abyss of Despair
【Northwest Sea Expedition to the Pole Islands】
The ship of the expedition came to shore, and at this time, the setting sun illuminated the sail on the mast so beautifully that Gina looked at the sail for a long time, and her eyes refused to deviate a little, and Cruise had sent someone to the nearest town to inquire about Ike's whereabouts, and his anxiety was incomparable to that of no one. One by one, people got off the boat, and after the anchor was dropped, several small wooden boats carried people ashore.
"Hurry up, Donnie, we need to find a place with pure elements to practice, oh Gina, you're in a daze again, I know, I know you've told me countless times, let's go, kid, for now, it's important for us to improve ourselves." Vivien beckons Gina and Donnie, and together the three of them look for a place where the natural elements are abundant.
"Remove the tent, Dragon, and we'll spend the night on the beach to-day, and we'll get some good harpooning guys to catch some fish, and Mars, you guys, go and find some wild fruit in the woods, and I've already filmed Dr. Jones to buy the necessities with the townspeople, and of course they'll sell them to us, and they're all kind fellows." Although Cruise still commanded the expedition members to do this and that, his spirit was obviously very bad.
Just as Cruise was giving orders for their duties, a newcomer ran over like crazy and shouted at Cruise, "Captain! Captain! There is good news! Hearing the newcomer's shout, both Gina and Lan were very excited to come over, of course, the psychology of the two people was completely opposite.
"What's the matter, hurry up!" Cruise patted the newcomer on the shoulder, and the newcomer said excitedly:
"The doctor in the town said that two foreign teenagers had just left the town yesterday, and one of them was seriously injured and had been in a coma here for three days, but when he left yesterday, he didn't mean to be injured at all, and he left after a fight with another young man, you see?" Before the newcomer could finish speaking, Cruise was about to jump up excitedly, Gina also folded her hands and thanked the great god for gratitude, and Ran, indeed, smiled weirdly.
"It's that kid! He's really not dead, good boy, that's a big life, God, you're so fucking cute! Cruise was praising God, but suddenly realized that Narissa's eyes were not quite right, so he quickly changed his words and began to pray respectfully to God.
"So, Ike should be fine, right, so I said that with that bastard Skye to help him, he can't die, at best he suffers a little bit of flesh and skin." Anne seemed to know each other well, but Mars always felt that when the two of them were together, it was always Ace who suffered from flesh and skin.
"It's okay, anyway, where is our next destination?" Narissa asked, and Cruise, who had put down her baggage, breathed a sigh of relief and was in a much happier mood.
"We're going to stay at sea for a long time, and we know that there is no transit point in the border sea, so this time we need to get all the supplies, and by the way, Ike and the Dream Apostle will go to find Ike, they should still be on this archipelago, keep in touch, that's all!" Cruise fell asleep after speaking, Ike's affair tormented him for a long time, and he never slept well, and finally, this man was able to sleep peacefully.
【Expedition to the Abyss of Despair in the Bolai Islands】
The cold wind whistled out from the bottom of the abyss of despair, carrying with it the disgusting smell of decay in the abyss, where the bones piled up into a mountain, and from the abyss came one wail after another, as if the ghosts were roaring unwillingly - here, the abyss of despair, as a burial ground on the expedition road, whether it was a monster or an expedition member, countless living beings died here, and their bones became the decoration here, constructing a hellish scene.
"I found that the author was really getting lazy and lazy, and he actually pasted it directly." Ace floated beside Ike, without the slightest hint of nervousness, Ike climbed down the cliff step by step, and if he didn't pay attention to this kind of place, he would fall down one by one, and his bones would be gone.
"Can you care about something more important, like thinking of a normal way to make it less difficult for me to go on so hard?" Ike asked Ace, and he shook his head silently, and then Ike had to resign himself to his fate.
When Ike went down to the bottom, the white bones in the ground made him feel cold, and the heavy corpse gas here made him have some indescribable obstacles in his psyche, Ace patted him on the shoulder, telling him to cheer up his courage, but was glanced at by Ike, he calmed down and persuaded himself: Is he still afraid of corpses when he is haunted like this by a ghost-like guy every day?
He plunged into the depths of the abyss, and a voice like the wail of a demon came from the cave in the abyss, where it was pitch black, as if leading to the underworld, and the spirit bead in Ike's hand emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the path like a bright lamp, and the dragon-shaped spirit was still swimming in the spirit bead, as if it had never stopped.
As Ike went deeper, he could clearly perceive that there were extremely clear magic patterns on the nearby stone walls, and although they no longer had any energy, they still played a weak role, and those things had obviously been handed down from ancient times, and had not been destroyed in the slightest.
"Ace, are those things on the stone walls the runes that seal the lava?" Ike asked Ace out of curiosity, and Ace glanced at him and replied, "No!" Those were just runes that suppressed the temperature of lava, but even though they were, they were now at the level of high-level magic. ”
"Is lava so scary just by its temperature?" Ike asked, Ace giggling.
"If there are no these runes, if the lava is just sealed here, it can turn these white bones into ashes, and when he is in the best period of adulthood, the temperature around him can reach nearly 1,000 degrees, and he can directly melt steel, if it wasn't for the three dukes who dealt with him together, the lava would not have ended up where it is now." Ace looked at everything around him, and not only sighed: "Time, it is really the most powerful weapon, and all the power will turn into Sumeru in the face of time." ”
"Stop sighing, what are we here for......" Ike asked, becoming more and more convinced that this was an empty nest and that lava had long since left here. His senses told him that there was no such powerful energy aura in this cave at all.
"Idiot, although the lava is not here, can the undead still run? There will definitely be the rest of the undead here. We don't know where the lava went, but can the undead under his command still know? Ace replied to Ike's question in a disdainful tone.
"So, do you want me to use those undead to practice my hands?" Ike asked, and Ace gave him a thumbs up in surprise. At this moment, there was another ghostly cry from the depths of the cave, and Ike found that since he and Emperor Hao met in a dream, he had become more proficient in controlling the magic in his body, and he seemed to feel the kind of doorway that Cruise had said before, tightly weaving magic power.
"However, my sword is missing, how do you want me to fight?" Ike looked at Ace, but he looked nonchalant and said, "Ask yourself, what did you learn when you were unconscious, use it now for me to see." ”
Ike thought for a moment, staring at the darkness ahead, and the sound of bones touching the ground came, and he stretched out his hands, recalling what Emperor Hao said to him in his dream: Spirit beads have many different abilities, and what you are digging out now is only the tip of the iceberg. He froze, and a thick mist appeared in his hands.
Then, the cloud began to shrink, weaving into a long sword like substance, the spirit bead at this time emitted a dazzling light, a dragon-like light flew out of the spirit bead, and after rotating around the sword for several weeks, a long sword with a dazzling light was formed, and the dragon returned to the spirit bead.
Spirit Orb: Condensation!
The bead in Ike's left hand and the long sword in his right hand were emitting dazzling light, he rushed out with an arrow step, and met with seven or eight skeleton undead, under the glorious long sword, they were killed by Ike without any power to fight back, the long sword was swung lightly, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring, compared to a few weeks ago, Ike had made a qualitative leap, he was no longer the soft persimmon that was kneaded by others.
"However, he is a hard persimmon to be kneaded." Just after Ace's complaint, thousands of undead poured out of the dark cave, and they howled, the voice was miserable and sad.
"Bastard! You're pit me! When Ike saw so many undead in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and hurriedly retreated to the back: "There are so many undead, how can you let me fight?" ”
"So you're a piece of waste, you don't have to lift my fingers to hit these things." Ace looked at Ike with a treacherous expression, Ike suddenly became angry, could it be that he was not as good as one of Ace's fingers: "Or, let's take a gamble, if I don't even move a finger to deal with this group of undead, you have to listen to me, and you only have to listen to my words, okay?" ”
"What if you lose?" Ike asked, and Ace shook his head and said, "I lose?" How could I lose? ”
"If you lose, then you are at my mercy, okay, fair." After Ike finished speaking, Ace laughed heartily, and Ike couldn't figure out the situation at all, and he kept retreating, for fear that the group of undead would catch him.
"Even if your level has risen a little, but your brain is really not long at all, it seems that you have a set of tricks except for fooling people, and you are completely abducted in other aspects." Ace laughed at Ike and said arrogantly at him, "Boy, I don't move a finger!" This group of undead is absolutely dead! ”
Ace said, roaring at the army of the undead! Suddenly, the army was silent, and Ike was stunned, thinking to himself, this guy can't really roar this army out of his throat......
"Just kidding, I said that if you don't move a finger, can you move your mouth? Haha, I'm a kind person. As soon as Ace finished speaking, a dragon roar came from the entrance of the abyss, and the black dragon transformed by Morgan roared and rushed into the abyss, sweeping towards the army of the undead.
Ike opened his mouth wide on the side, trying to say something but couldn't say anything.
"Let's go, ride him, let's go find lava." Ace smiled very brightly, and Ike suddenly had a feeling of being pitted: "Did you already know where the lava is, and you came here just to pit me so that I can do miscellaneous things for you in the future?" ”
"How come, haha, no, I'm a kind person."
Ike didn't know that Ace actually wanted him to connect with what he had learned from the spirit bead, Condensation, this magic had already made Ace very satisfied. As for the whereabouts of the lava...... He'd already found out from the Spirit Eaters—a place called the Ruins of Parkens.
