Chapter 276: The Shadow of the Abyss
If Liu Li is just a simple martial artist, sneaking in the deep sea may have many inconveniences, but for a mid-level spellcaster, neither breathing nor water pressure is a problem. The only thing that affected him was that his eyes were not able to adjust to the darkness of the deep sea for the time being, but in the perception covering hundreds of meters, this effect was not worth mentioning.
Thinking of Mo Logri's stunned appearance before the separation, Liu Li couldn't help but feel a little funny, and his mood was a little lighter - although he didn't say it, the task of sealing the spatial rift still brought him a lot of pressure, and it was not a good thing for Liu Li to be able to release some through such a small episode.
"Varazze, where are you taking me?" After arriving at the Sea Clan Wang Cheng, Liu Li could clearly sense the extremely obvious red element fluctuations on Wells's body, but the male Naga in front of him was obviously taking him in another direction.
"Honorable Lord of the Blue Element, your teacher is waiting for you, and I was about to take you there. Varazze replied respectfully. Although he was not smart enough, he remembered what Ansesta had told him before parting - not to be disrespectful to the Lord of the Blue Elementals.
"Uh...... Then can I ask, where is that direction?" Seeing that the attitude of this male Naga did not seem to be fake, Liu Li's doubts in his heart were even worse. He was still confident in his perception and didn't think he would mistake Wells' position.
"Over there, I want to think about it...... There doesn't seem to be much else to note over there other than a treasure house. Varazze thought for a moment and replied, "Speaking of which, it's basically all your stuff over there, and the more valuable items that sank to the bottom of the sea with the wreck are basically stored there. β
"Wait, I'll think about it......" Liu Li felt as if she had vaguely caught something, but she couldn't be sure for a while, until two minutes passed, and then suddenly a flash of inspiration, "There is a bar?"
"Ah...... What?" Varazek looked at Liu Li with a confused expression, his eyes full of confusion and confusion.
"I mean, is there any wine in the treasure hall you mentioned earlier?" Liu Ligan just heard that it had been more than two months since Wells arrived at the Sea Clan, and with his understanding of the teacher, he pinched his fingers and estimated that the wine in Wells's storage space should have been sold out more than a week ago.
"It should ...... Yes. Varazze's serious dazed look was even worse, he didn't know why Liu Li suddenly asked such a question, "I haven't been there many times, I don't know very well...... But by 'sake', do you mean the kind of water that makes people itch when you swim in? If so, it seems that there are a few barrels of water in the treasure museum. β
Liu Li suddenly felt that the male Naga who led the way for him was very unreliable, and listening to his meaning, it was as if he had really swam in the wine barrel. Liu Li has secretly made up her mind that she must introduce this wine-flavored salted fish to her teacher, presumably the two "people" will probably have a common language in some aspects.
"Alas...... Take me to the treasure hall first, if I don't feel wrong, my teacher should be there......" Liu Li hesitated for a moment, and finally felt that there was really no need to save any face for Wells, "...... Steal wine there. β
......
"I'll just say, how can this huge Sea Clan King City not even be able to find wine. That little mermaid girl still wants to lie to me, but in the end she doesn't covet my magic crystal. While muttering, Wells carefully manipulated the red element, circled an area around the "special exhibit" in the deep sea, emptied the seawater, and carefully guided the wine from the oak barrel into the flask equivalent to a high-grade storage item, and finally poured a sip and sighed: "Ah~ This is life!"
"Teacher, are you ...... What are you doing!?" Liu Li was heartbroken. He hadn't just arrived, he had pushed open the door of the hall of treasures just as Wells had emptied the waters around the barrels, but he couldn't believe that his teacher would do such a thingβto be tempted by a wine bug to commit a theft.
"Ahh But soon, the old drunkard yelled angrily: "It's not because you stinky boy that you came so late!"
"Ahem, teacher, then you won't come here and steal the bar. Liu Li suddenly felt helpless in the face of the teacher's back-and-forth approach, and at the same time he was very glad for his foresight - he only felt that it was too witty to let Varazze wait outside the treasure hall.
"Steal, you stinky boy, what are you thinking about!?" Wells inspired "Lei Xing", instantly appeared behind Liu Li, raised his hand and struck Liu Li's head, "Am I that kind of person!? This barrel of wine was exchanged for a fifth-order magic crystal!"
Varazze stood quietly outside the door of the Curiosity, silently counting the time. It's been a long time since the Lord of the Blue Elements entered the Treasure Hall, but he didn't mean to come out at all. It was the first time to receive such a distinguished guest, and Varazze didn't know whether to wait or go in and find someone.
......
Liu Li didn't know how much Wells had paid, if it was really the price of a barrel of wine and a fifth-order magic crystal, he could only be impressed by his teacher's incomparable ability to collect money. Watching Wells put barrel after barrel of wine from the Treasure Hall into a wine storage vessel, and thinking about the inventory that he almost emptied for his staff seven or eight years ago, he couldn't help but express his admiration - he himself condensed a bunch of elemental crystals that were more valuable, and he hadn't really harvested any elemental materials that could be exchanged for a lot of gold coins.
"Teacher, have you been to see the space rift?" Liu Li didn't want his mind to be filled with chaotic thoughts, so he quickly shifted the topic to business.
"What's going on over there...... I think it will last another month or so, but the timing of your arrival is just right, and according to the law of the tides, the best time to seal the spatial rift is after a week. "Wells has been in the Sea Clan realm for so long, of course, it is impossible to have nothing to do except drink every day, and he has personally explored the situation of the spatial rift, although he does not have the confidence to seal it by himself, but he is extremely familiar with the situation there, and at this time, he is collecting wine while explaining it to Liu Li.
"With your temperament, since you've been here for so long, you must have done some homework on the environment of Haiyuan, right?"
"Yes, teacher, I stayed at the Pearl Academy for a few days and looked up some information about Haiyuan. Seeing that Wells finally began to talk about the real task of this trip, Liu Li's face was grim.
"Since you've looked it up, I'll be straight to the point. Wells poured a sip of wine, smacked his lips and tasted it, before continuing: "You should know that the five most powerful demonic beast groups over there, now the Abyssal Ruins Phantom Shell is still the same as before, except for guarding the place where they stay, they still ignore everything in the outside world; β
"The two demonic beasts named 'Dragon' are powerful, and almost all adult individuals have high-level strength, but they have gone to two extremes. β
"Now that the Sea Dragon has joined forces with the Sea Clan, he has joined the Sea Clan camp in order to seal the spatial rift, and has become a big help to our side. However, Shen Yuanlong thought that the opening of the rift would lead them to 'return', and now at least two percent of the Sea Clan's combat power was contained by them, and there was no way to continue to suppress the abnormal movement of the spatial rift. β
"But the most troublesome thing is the shadow of the abyss, they are formless and elusive, and the most disturbing thing is that it is extremely difficult to be detected in advance before the encounter, there is almost no warning, and now the sea clan in the hands of the shadow of the abyss is almost half a legion together. When it came to the horror of the shadow of the sea abyss, Wells was also embarrassed, "You must know the combat power of the Sea Clan, even if you count the first royal legion of the mermaid royal clan, there are only five legions in total." β
"Isn't there a way at all? The Sea Clan should have had a way to deal with the Shadow of the Abyss before, even if they can't kill them, they shouldn't even be able to escape?" Liu Li couldn't help but wonder in his heart, according to Wells, the Shadow of the Abyss has become the most terrifying nightmare in the Abyss, as long as it encounters, there is almost no chance of survival.
"After the 'illusory element' leaked out of the spatial rift merged with the shadow of the abyss, the previous method was basically useless. Wells was also powerless about this situation, "About half a month ago, when I followed a team of guards to the abyss to investigate the situation, I was attacked by the shadow of the abyss...... Fortunately, it's only a team of guards, only a dozen people in total, and I don't have the confidence to protect them if there are more people. β
"What!?" Liu Li was really shocked this time. Wells now has a sixth-order strength, and he can only protect a dozen people with the power of exclusive elemental runes, which shows the horror of the Abyss Shadow.
"Another thing, just a few days ago, after I returned here from Haiyuan, I was attacked by an attack. For the first time, Wells's voice carried a slight tremor that could not be detected, "It is an enemy in a gray mist state, and although its strength is average, it makes me feel extremely uneasy. β
"This world...... of evil. β
......
"Your Majesty Poseidon, the Lord of the Blue Elemental has arrived in the royal city, do you need me to bring him and his teacher over now?"
"It's not too late, let that little guy get used to the deep-sea environment first. The King of the Sea Clan rubbed his eyebrows, his face a little tired, "Let Ariel entertain that child, and just tell him about the situation on Haiyuan's side, so that he doesn't know anything when he comes here." β
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and inform Her Highness the Princess. β
