Chapter 45: The Call of Pain

Another destination of Connors's trip is the valley formed by two ridges above 500 meters of the Abyss Ridge, although there is no natural safe house like the Sea Iron Tree, but there is a large group of swordfish, this group of guys is not afraid of death, there are few creatures in the entire ocean world that are more aggressive than the swordfish, no matter who the opponent is, they dare not hesitate to rush forward, even if the monsters are much larger than them.

If you don't accept it, you can do it, and it is the same attribute as Brother Pingtou, so this large group of swordfish is the king of the mountain here, and even the monsters dare not break in at will.

But there's a good baby here

According to the records of the crape myrtle family, rubies can be found here, which are loved by the rich and noble.

The marine world is very peculiar, rubies do not come from ores, but grow from a creature called red stone shells, red stone shells will burrow into the rock crevices when they are young, and then slowly grow up, open the rock cracks, open two shells, and attract some plankton by the fragrance of their flesh, and make a living from it.

However, sometimes it attracts a very peculiar carnivorous bug, and then these two guys start a life-and-death battle inside the shell, at which point the redstone shell will close its shell, and the end result is usually that the meat worm eats the redstone shell, and then gets trapped in the shell, and after a period of time, it will gradually evolve into a ruby.

A ruby can sell forty or fifty gold scales, if it weren't for the treacherous location here, and finding rubies is a kind of luck work, otherwise it would have been swept away by the Sea crape myrtle family, and Connors's purpose here is to see if he can find a few gems to solve the financial problem.

I made a lot of gold scales by selling a few gems last time, but now that the family is big, it will take at least three quarters for the magic seaweed to officially participate in production, plus he plans to build a lot of infrastructure, these are all supported by a large number of gold scales.

......

"Aveline, are you sure this thing really works?"

Connors looked around him with suspicion at the balls around him that had wrapped himself around Avrine.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Avrine, but this ball is too weak, he stretched out a hand and went out directly, without any protection, and a group of ferocious swordfish outside the ball are swimming around, there are thirty or forty at a glance, it is really terrifying, his small body is estimated to vomit three liters of blood when hit by a knifefish.

"It's okay, the swordfish doesn't have a sense of smell, and it's only aggressive to flesh and blood, and this water ball is one-sided, and we can see the outside but we can't see anything when the outside looks at us. ”

Averine was very confident that this magic was developed by her master, a mermaid who had wandered at the bottom of the sea all her life to find the truth, and there would be absolutely no problems.

It's just that Averine misses her master a little, she doesn't know where she has wandered, she has found half of the truth, she doesn't know what happened to her master, she is a little worried about the dangers of the underwater world, but thinking that the master's means of approaching the great magician are easier, maybe the master has broken through to the great magician.

Sensing that Avriline's mood was suddenly a little low, Connors stopped talking, the water polo was still slowly advancing, this ridge and valley was very large, extending to a height of 1,300 meters, it was already considered dangerous here, even the saury was gradually decreasing, and further up was the territory of the monsters.

Here Connors seems to be able to reach out and touch the large aperture, it is too dazzling, the magic particles are like substance, the closer to Connors, the more shocking, if this is magic, I'm afraid this is not the level that a great magician can achieve.

After so many days of getting along with Avriline, he also has a general understanding of the strength of the magician, Avriline's current strength is considered to be in the middle and upper among the magicians, and the great magician Avrine has never seen it, but at most one person can support ten, twenty Avrine is already terrible, but this aperture is more than a thousand Aveline, this is not only a quantitative but also a qualitative change.

I'm afraid that only above the great magician, the sage of the age of existence and magic has this possibility, close to the existence of a god!

As for the truth, Connors didn't think about it, according to the generations of magicians, the truth magician only exists in the pursuit of magicians, just like all kinds of myths and legends on the earth, just legends, and it is very likely that such an existence has never appeared in the sea world.

It's too unlikely!

Above the aperture is the gray-black abyss breath, which is also like a substance, and the aperture is the opposite thing, there is no magic over there, the two seem to be natural enemies, the aperture extinguishes the black fog, the black fog invades the aperture, and this kind of battle does not know how many years it has lasted.

Even if she was close at hand, Avrilin still didn't notice it at all, and she opened her eyes wide and searched around for that kind of rock crevice, where there are countless rock crevices, but there is not one red stone shell in it, and there is one in ten rubies in red stone bell, if you are unlucky, you may not find a ruby in the hundreds, it is very difficult!

Otherwise, Tumas wouldn't have given this to Connors as a benefit.

"There's a crack in the stone here. ”

Avelyn was overjoyed and hurriedly moved the water balloon closer, and when she got closer, she showed a disappointed look, this stone crack was empty, and there was nothing.

Connors also came back to his senses and began to search carefully, and the two of them turned over hundreds of stone crevices one after another, only one of which had a blue-red shell inside, but this guy was still alive, and it could not contain rubies.

Time passed little by little, until there was nothing to be found for a long time, Avriline couldn't help but pout, Connors's patience gradually decreased, I don't know why since he came here, there was an inexplicable feeling of irritability, which was a very rare emotion for him.

Connors looked up and looked up, something seemed to be calling to him in the abyssal breath!

Shaking his head, is it the first time to go out in the wild, I am a little panicked and hallucinated.

"Chief, look!"

Suddenly, Averine's cheer interrupted Connors's doubts, and at this time she stood in the water balloon and pointed to a rock crevice with some excitement, only to see that in the gap there was a red stone shell with a closed mouth quietly placed there, and the red stone shell would not close its mouth unless it was dead.

Taking out a fishbone plier from the package, Connors carefully clamped out the shell, and used the fishbone knife to separate the shells, and a thumb-sized, round ruby lay there quietly, translucent, pure, and of high quality, and this one was worth fifty gold scales!

Don't think that you can earn fifty gold scales in half a day, the money comes very quickly, but a simple conversion, ask the magician to come to such a dangerous place, even if the magician of this tribe does not have twenty or thirty gold scales, don't think about asking for a day, plus if there is no magic fish suit, it will take a day just to travel, this is still the situation that this place is so close in the seaweed department, and other tribes may have to swim for an extra day, plus this is still a lucky job, if you accidentally don't find it for two or three days in a row, wouldn't it be a loss.

It's also that Avriline doesn't want any pay, otherwise Connors wouldn't be here.

When they found one, both of them were refreshed and continued to search, but they planned to stay here for a full day, and there was still a lot of time.

It's just about a few dozen meters upstream, as if crossing a boundary, very abruptly, a sharp stinging pain pierced Connors's eyeballs, making him gasp directly, screaming, covering his eyes with both hands, scarlet blood flowed out of his eyes, and his brain seemed to be burned by fire.

Ever since Connors mastered the rules of Poseidon's eyes, he had never encountered such a situation, and his body was involuntary.

"What's wrong with you, Chief?"

Avriline immediately noticed the change in Connors and hurriedly hugged Connors, and the blood flowing from the corners of her eyes made her tremble even more.

"This way!"

Connors's voice was hoarse, even though it was painful, but there was a strong consciousness in his mind, constantly urging him to move in one direction, and his eyes seemed to be cheering, jumping, trying to break free.

Avriline looked in the direction Connors was pointing - above!

Although I don't know why, I still supported Connors upstream, passing through the circle of light that Avriline couldn't feel, Avriline hesitated, more than 1,500 meters of Abyss Ridge is almost a forbidden place, there is no magic here, only endless abyssal breath, if you want to use magic, you can only use your own magic power, you can't hold it for long.

But the chief's hand was still pointing upwards, and his face became more and more hideous, as if he had lost his will, and waved his tail fin impatiently, and if it were not for Aveline's dead pull, he would have fled out.

Gritting her teeth, Avrine helped Connors directly into the black mist, and the aura of the abyss rolled and completely enveloped the two of them.
