Chapter 277: True Body
"Liu Li, how can you be so unreasonable!?I thought we were friends!" The teary-eyed Ariel asked in a loud voice, but Liu Li ignored her. Liu Li is not a person who can watch a girl cry and ignore it, the reason why he is so indifferent is just that he finally realized it...... The mermaid princess is made of water, and most of the pear blossoms with rain are pretended, and the reactions of Pamela and Alex next to them are enough to prove it.
"Just because we're friends, I can't let you go along. Seeing that the time was dragging on for more and more time, Liu Li had to dispel the idea of this little princess of the Sea Clan with some more hurtful words, "I will go to Haiyuan alone to see the situation, even if I encounter danger, I can evacuate as soon as possible, but after taking you, I must be responsible for your safety, I don't think I have such a strong strength." ”
"Yes, Your Highness Princess, don't trouble Your Excellency the Lord of the Elements. "Braken is on the same front as Liu Li at this time, the last time Ariel ran to Orosha Castle by Ariel, he has angered the king of the sea clan, and today he decided to dispel the idea of his little princess going around to join in the fun, even if he is strong.
"But, Uncle Braken, you'll definitely come with me, so you don't have to be afraid of danger, right?" As the most favored little princess of the Sea Clan, Ariel has never encountered real danger. So far, she has only set foot on land twice, one is a spell exchange meeting at the Prayer Academy, and the other is when she goes to Orosha Castle to find Liu Li. And in the middle of the sea, even if it was the abyss in the past, with the high-level support of Braken, who had outstanding combat power, she was allowed to swim freely.
"Your Royal Highness, you really think too highly of me. Braken smiled bitterly, "The abyss is different from the past, if I really encounter the shadow of the abyss, it is still unknown whether I can escape alone." ”
"What??, how could Hai Yuan become so dangerous!?" Hearing Bolaken's words, Ariel was shocked, and now she was not thinking about following Liu Li to join in the fun, but how to leave this human who she regarded as a friend behind, so that he would not do stupid things impulsively," Liu Li ...... The sea abyss is so dangerous, don't you go too, okay?"
Seeing the little princess's attitude instantly show a 180-degree change, Liu Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he knew what true innocence was - this little princess didn't seem to have considered Bokaken's words at all in her mind that it might be a benign deception, "Don't worry, I'm the master of the elements, maybe I'm more comfortable in the deep sea than you, a mermaid princess." ”
"Oh...... Then be careful. ”
Seeing the appearance of his little princess, Bolaken coughed lightly and did not say a word. Pamela and Alex, who had been standing aside as decorations, first looked at each other, and then looked away, for fear that Ariel would turn around and see the "pity" in her eyes.
It would take four days to seal the spatial rift, but Liu Li's plan to go to Haiyuan alone was by no means a whim. Today, his understanding of Haiyuan is still limited to the words and pictures in books, and what he urgently needs at present is to unify the knowledge in his mind with the real thing.
Although Wells had already introduced the situation of Haiyuan before, Liu Li also had his own considerations, in addition to the "field trip", he was also curious about the Shenyuan Dragon and the Shadow of Haiyuan. And the blue exclusive rune, the spatial element, and the elemental form, these three abilities are the source of confidence for him to retreat from the whole body.
Bora Ken did not agree with Liu Li to act alone, but finally compromised at Liu Li's insistence. The old mage of the mermaid clan looked at Liu Li's eyes full of gratitude—he knew that if it wasn't for the purpose of sealing the spatial rift more properly, the young man in front of him wouldn't have to risk his life.
"Okay, let's go over early, you can go and see the situation there first, at least you can know what is going on. Wells showed a nonchalant attitude towards Liu Li's choice. Over time, Wells became more proficient in mastering elemental runes. He could appreciate the miracle of the runes, and he also knew that in the sea abyss, Liu Li's strength might not be enough to fight head-on with high-level existences, but he was bent on leaving, but nothing could stop his students. "The teleportation circle of 'Linyuan City' should still be usable, and when you finish exploring the situation in Haiyuan, wait for me there. ”
......
The abyss is a trench at the end of the continental shelf, and no one knows how deep it is, and there are countless sea tribes in history who want to explore the bottom of the abyss, but like those adventurers on the continent who explore the end of the world, none of them can return safely. Fortunately, the location of the spatial rift is only more than 30,000 meters deep into the trench, and it is located on a rock platform on the rock wall near the continent, and such a depth is not unparalleled.
Although Linyuan City is named "Linyuan", it is not located on the side of the sea abyss, but is built by digging a stone wall at a depth of thousands of meters. Liu Li, who walked out of the teleportation array, didn't plan to be too public, only said hello to the sea clan guards guarding the magic circle, and then left Linyuan City alone and "swam" into the sea abyss.
Liu Li's patience has always been good, and when he left Linyuan City, he did not rush into the abyss, but carried out the plan he had already drawn up in his heart step by step - the first step was to ensure that his actions in this deep sea were as usual.
Liu Li has never learned to swim, and even if she does, there is no way to guarantee that she can perform martial arts normally in the water. Since leaving the Nepura island group and entering the Sea Clan realm, Liu Li's movements have been affected by the turbulence of the deep sea all the time, not to mention fighting, and even his movement speed has been greatly restricted. The most important thing he needs to do at this point is to minimize this impact.
"It's good that there is no carelessness, this is really ...... Troublesome. What Liu Li wants to learn is not how to swim, of course, but how to ensure that he will not be "washed away" by the undercurrent in the state of elemental form, and this adaptation process was not smooth at first. Liu Li's elemental form is like a liquid, and although it is still controlled by his will, it is also more easily affected by the undercurrents of the deep sea.
However, this is not without benefits for Liu Li, at least after becoming proficient, he can move in the deep sea in a "flowing" way, and his speed is enough to reach an unbelievable level. At the same time, Liu Li, who spreads his perception and observes his surroundings in an "all-powerful" state, can also rely on the trend of the undercurrent to smoothly display his martial arts. Although it can only be used in a one-hit way, the power of the attack is not inferior to fighting on land.
"Next...... It's a matter of luck. After a few hours of proficiency and adaptation, Liu Li, who was finally able to act as he pleased, began to carry out the second step of his plan - to find Shen Yuan Dragon.
After consulting the information of the Feinlais family, Liu Li knew all about the living environment, habits and weaknesses of the Shen Yuan Dragon, but it was all "outdated" information, and he now needed to know what these sea abyss beasts had become after being attracted by the "illusory element".
"No...... No...... Still no, where have they gone, have they really all run to the spatial rift?" Thanks to the increase in the speed of action, Liu Li had already run three sea areas suitable for the survival of the Shenyuan Dragon according to the map in just four hours, but they were all in the air, and he didn't even find the shadow of the giant beast.
"Hmm, not good!" Liu Li is not short of patience, whether it is practicing spells or learning the knowledge of formation law, failure is commonplace, and he has always been able to continue with a steady mind until he succeeds. But at this time, he still couldn't help but feel anxious, until he noticed the subtle changes in the deep sea undercurrent, and he realized that he didn't know when he had gone deep into the enveloping range of the shadow of the abyss.
It's not that Liu Li is not vigilant enough, as we all know, the most obvious feature of a demonic beast is the elemental fluctuations that emanate from its body all the time, and the shadow of the sea abyss is naturally no exception. But Liu Li didn't expect that these elemental creatures combined with "illusory elements" could distort his perception in his "omnipotent" state to a certain extent.
The "illusory element" leaking out of the spatial rift combined with the incorporeal elemental creature of the Abyss, which was already formless and substantial, to produce the effect that one plus one is greater than two. The shadow of the sea abyss not only silently distorted Liu Li's perception before he noticed it, but even after he sensed the crisis, it distorted Liu Li's sense of direction, so that he could not get out of the shroud of danger in the first place.
Liu Li's reaction was not unpleasant, first expanding the state of "omniscience" to the extreme, and at the same time transforming the main composition of the elemental form into "illusory elements", so that he was finally able to get a glimpse of the true face of the shadow of the sea abyss. "It was a real surprise, I didn't expect it to be such a creature. Liu Li secretly let out such an exclamation.
Liu Li may be the first person in the world to witness the full picture of this deep-sea demonic beast - the shadow of the sea abyss, the essence is indeed an elemental creature as once guessed by the sea tribe, but what constitutes its body is not a liquid fused with the seawater, but just like the rock beast that Liu Li encountered in the Hengduan Mountains when he just left Casfield City, it is just a rock core.
The diameter of the rock core was only three or four centimeters, and the liquid "body" that enveloped a spherical area with a diameter of more than 100 meters was actually its spell-like ability.
Now that he has discovered the body of the Shadow of the Abyss, Liu Li is no longer in a hurry to leave, it is said that no one in the Sea Clan has ever really killed a Shadow of the Abyss, Liu Li wants to try today if he can be the first person to get the Shadow of the Abyss Demon Core.
The reason why Liu Li is so fearless is precisely because he has seen through the essence of this monster. The Shadows of the Abyss are adept at using the blue element, and in the past they manipulated the "Frost Cold" trait, causing prey within the range of their spell-like abilities to be continuously impacted by the "Frost Elemental", and eventually freeze to death, turning them into nourishment. The reason why the shadow of the abyss has become terrifying today is precisely because after fusing the "illusory element", it can distort the perception of its prey, and it cannot escape the range of spell-like abilities while being attacked by frost and cold.
But now that Liu Li has transformed all of his elemental forms into "illusory elements", his perception will no longer be affected in the slightest, even if he can't destroy the rock core before freezing, with the advantage of speed, it is enough to escape the shroud range of the shadow of the abyss.
"Huh, in this way, even if you don't find the Shen Yuan Dragon, this trip is not completely fruitless...... Let me see if your core can escape my pursuit. ”
