"That kind of crab," the soul of the other world couldn't help but ask, "will it be very old to eat?"

"Why," although he didn't spend as much time with Cremar as he did with Kerryburn, as the manager of Grey Ridge, Perrant had already learned about the little guy's special hobby, not every elf was good at grilling small dried fish, and the half-elf was too: "It tasted quite delicious and very satisfying," said the druid. You don't need a pot, turn your back over and roast it directly on the bonfire, and you can put seawater and the meat in it, it is hot, delicious, sweet, full of juice, and it tastes not like meat, but like wheat and fruit. ”

It's just that this kind of deep-sea crab will only wander in the trench almost regardless of life and death, and ordinary humans, their limit is only three hundred feet, it is impossible to catch this kind of sea crab, if they have to look for opportunities, they may be able to find one or two claw tips that once belonged to deep-sea crabs on the coast or in the belly of whales, or their teeth, which are the parts of the whale's stomach that cannot be digested- Sometimes whales, he said, some experienced and daring adult whales will hunt these crabs, but if one is not good, and if they are attacked by a group of crabs, even if they are large, the best outcome is to flee with a fleshy carcass.

That's why he killed the deep-sea crab on the spot, the recipe of the deep-sea crabs includes all the creatures in the sea, of course the whale is good, and the king squid doesn't mind.

Further down, the souls of the other world understand why the druid didn't transform into a large whale and enter the trench. Perhaps it's because for hundreds of years, whales have used the trench as a cemetery, and it's home to a dense population of predators who feed on dying whales. , schools of sleeping sharks, deep-sea crabs as numerous as sea sand, hagfish as dense as tree branches, sea snakes, countless small crustaceans and shrimps, they roam slowly in the whalebones like a dense forest, they feed in it, build nests, give birth to offspring, and also die here, mixed with the white whalebone gravel, yes, the sea sand here is different from the sea sand elsewhere, like snow particles, crystal clear, amazing.

The multitude of predators seemed accustomed to eating everything that sank into this place, and that was why the druid needed the help of the spellcaster, otherwise he would not have been able to concentrate on finding the whalebone they needed.

The spirit of the other world threw a javelin condensed with pure power and pierced through the head of a sleeping shark, and its companion immediately tore it apart, and it only took a few breaths for the former hunter to be devoured, but before they could finish their meal, the caster waved his finger and cast another spell, exhaling a breath of intimidation, and the cone-shaped invisible threat drove away not only the sleeping sharks, but also a group of twisted sea snakes.

"Isn't this okay?" The soul of the other world curiously touched a certain white bone close at hand, this white bone could almost make him a bed, it was still a very spacious kind, but the king squid transformed into Perrant just simply waved his wrist and foot, and knocked it out of the crack, "This big whale has been very badly injured. "We're looking for an older whale that has a stronger skeleton, but it can't be seriously injured, but it's the kind that died of disease or other causes," Perrant said. ”

"For other reasons," the otherworldly soul asked, "is there still a whale who has depression and decides to end his life?"

"Yes," said Perlante, "I once met a whale that was depressed and refused to eat because of the death of its mate. "In fact, the whale was met by Al Arendiel, but Perrant didn't think the black-haired spellcaster would be willing to hear anything related to the Eya Elves, and he never even asked them.

After they dived for a while, the creatures that appeared in front of them became more and more strange and ugly, and more and more cunning and strong, they could be called magical creatures, and the king squid of Perant's transformation began to flicker, like a series of unpredictable magnificent aurora lights, which was a kind of warning, only the king squid containing venom could emit this light, and the souls of the other world could feel that there were many fewer eyes peeping at them.

"This one. Perrante said suddenly.

The spirit of the other world directed the fluorite around the whalebone, which Perrant was talking about, just one of them, and turned in a circle, indeed, this bone was very beautiful, and under the light of fluorite, it was even as crystal clear as jade, and it could make an extremely pleasant sound when struck.

- A good bone indeed, said the lich.

- The otherworldly soul couldn't help but glance down, and although it knew it might not be able to see anything, he always felt that his cohabitant was like a dog who liked bones.

Of course, you can't expect a fool from another plane to understand the eternal pain in the lich's heart - his skeleton is the cleanest, smoothest, fairest, toughest and most delicate of all his colleagues, and barely speaking, only his Mentor's bones can make him submit, but the problem is that the Mentor's bones, since he became a demigod lich, have only been left with a fraction, and in terms of numbers alone, he has won—though this victory cannot be appealed to.

After changing gravity, it becomes not so difficult to carry the whalebone, the trouble is to separate and move the whalebone mixed with the whalebone, at this time the squid's brachiopods play a huge role, even if the squid's brachiopods are not as dexterous as the octopus, but the length can make up for this shortcoming- The otherworldly soul was on the sidelines, and now it was no longer so strange to its own power, and every blow was accurate, and Perrant only had to use his tentacles to gently sweep away the debris that had fallen on the whalebone.

What gave them a bit of a headache was probably a group of sea spiders that had built a nest in their favorite whalebone, their webs crisscrossing the gaps between the whalebones, like someone had dried hundreds of thick veils on the whalebones, and not only that, but some of the cobwebs also tied other bones to the whalebones, and the druid tried to tug at them, and found that the cobwebs covered far more than his changing king squid could control.

"Can these spider silks be burned with flames?" asked the otherworldly soul.

"But we're in the deep ocean right now. Perrante said.

The otherworldly soul thought for a moment, "We can give it a try. "There was no need for a real flame, just a high enough temperature, he took out a piece of pure pure pure gold, and then summoned the fire elemental attendant. Just like he did in Iron Bone City, the melting point of Adamantite was the highest of all metals, the extreme heat made the sea around them boil instantly, the spider silk touched by the Adamantite Ball melted as quickly as ice and snow, and everything shook slightly—even though the scrolls cut off their adverse effects, the scene still made Perrante unconsciously roll up his wrists and feet—he didn't want to become a plate of seafood.

The creatures hidden in the whalebone rushed out like a tidal wave, large and small, and in all shapes, several of which even Perrante had never seen - it took them about a small block to finally scorch the spider silk wrapped around the whalebone, and the soul of the other world took the warm gold ball in his hand: "This is much cleaner." It said with satisfaction.

"Unprecedented. Druid said.

The druid's transformed king squid stretched out its long wrists and feet and wrapped around one end of the whalebone, and when it burned the cobweb, the black-haired spellcaster actually remembered to leave the part that connected the spine and chest ribs, so that even if the squid Perrant was a little small compared to the whalebone, it could lift the whalebone from the depths of the trench with the help of a spell - when the sand and bone dust flew violently, the sea water suddenly became so muddy that they couldn't even see each other.

At that moment, the wrist and foot that was gripping Cremar tightened suddenly, and a tentacle appeared in front of the caster's eyes without warning, blocking a pair of claws full of filth and poison.

No one understands the dangers of the deep sea better than souls of another plane. Even in another dimension, where the power of science has made humanity the sole master of the world, the deep sea remains a forbidden place that cannot be fathomed or understood. From the moment he left the land, he cast a spell to ensure that he could detect the enemy's malice within thirty feet—and the moment Perrant was aware of it, the black-haired caster threw the ball of adamantite in his hand, and almost immediately, they heard an unfamiliar scream.

"Sea ghost woman. Perrante said.

A group of sea ghosts lurked in the whalebones, perhaps seeing them enter the deep sea, or maybe earlier, after all the sea ghosts who had raided the Nanuk people had died, the sea ghosts hiding under the Aratilite ship had stolen the news, and in short, these ugly monsters thought they had found a good opportunity for revenge and prey, and they may have come out of the nest, and there were twelve of them that Perrant could find.

"Be careful. Perrant said that his wrists and feet had never let go, after all, at this time, he could not guarantee that he would be able to find Careyben's chicks once the caster had left his wrists or sight...... At this time, he heard the message from the spellcaster - the souls of the other world touched their wrists and feet, and the conversation between their companions could not be heard by the sea ghosts, which gave them a considerable advantage, such as now, the sudden increase in gravity not only immediately made the turbid sea water clear again, but also made those unprepared sea ghosts fall uncontrollably, and two or three sea ghost women were directly stabbed on the bone spurs of the whalebone because of their bad luck, and the dirty mucus and blood suddenly spread in the sea water.

"Let the sea rush at them!" Perrante said, and the otherworldly soul clearly felt the wrists and feet tighten a little.

The liquid, which was darker than the sea ghost's blood, suddenly rolled and unfolded in the seawater, and the soul of the other world thought for a moment before remembering that the squid could also release ink to confuse the enemy's vision - it was just that this conclusion made him embarrassed, uh, he didn't mean to think about where the ink was sprayed from Perrant - the question may have been a little embarrassing, but its excellent utility completely overpowered the slight ...... Not adaptable, they are not only dark in color, but also contain fierce poison, even the sea ghosts are also born with countless abscesses full of plague and venom, they are still not spared, they clench their throats, their claws kick wildly, their melting eyes turn into blood in the sea, only a few of the most cunning sea ghosts escaped, they shouted and cursed viciously, and their voices were far away.

"Maybe we'll have to find these sea ghosts before we leave. "Otherwise, we will have to remind Nanuk that they will relocate the house," Perrant said. ”

The soul of the other world nodded heartily, he didn't want the Alatirit to suffer the revenge of the sea ghosts because of them.

After the whalebones were sent to the shallow sea, the Alatirites pulled them to the shore, and a hundred strong males at once set to work on this difficult but worthwhile work— To cross the entire Sea of Eternal Night, reach the Far North, and return here, it is impossible to do without a sturdy and huge ship, and every Alatirit is so cautious and vigilant that they not only take out the best reindeer tendons, but also the rare sturgeon gelatin, and they also seek the help of the caster, for they need to pull the silk from the black iron that the wagon can provide to bind the whalebone and seal skin, and the shamans of the two tribes pray for the ship once a day.

"We'll be able to get out of here soon. Berdwin said.

"A good thing or a bad thing?" asked Gülen.

"That's not easy to say. Leona replied to him, yes, to be able to get out of here as soon as possible, to reach the Far North Sea, and find the treasure belonging to the metal dragon, of course, was the result they hoped to achieve, but it was also to be expected that there would be more, more dangerous, and more difficult obstacles to deal with.

But this is their journey, and they will not retreat, nor do they want to retreat.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

And in another place, an enemy, perhaps also in their expectation, was preparing to set off for the Far North Sea.

"Can't you wait until Castle Thunder's defensive circle is complete and leave?" Dylan asked, "Mentor?"

"The defensive circle of Thundercastle has been erected," Ostahl said patiently, "and all you need to do is fill it with gems and mana, I don't think you're stupid enough to do such a simple and boring task on your own?"

Dürrense winced, "I'm sorry, mentor. ”

Ostar put his hand on his shoulder: "Believe in yourself, you are doing better than I thought, you are one of my favorite disciples, don't forget that." (To be continued.) )
