Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Raid

The blue is boundless, the sea is wide, and at first glance, it makes people open-minded, Lucien slowly lowered the flight altitude and performed the "advanced stealth technique" on himself, and the Kou Tao Fishman Altar is on the seabed nearby.

The further down he flew, the stronger the fishy smell in the sea breeze, and even a little foul smell, Lucien's "health belt" reacted to the stress, circulating an invisible force to repel the feeling of filth.

Above the rippling blue, many dead gray, dark, and dark green bubbles silently bulged, and they swelled to a certain extent before bursting on their own, dyeing the surroundings the same color, full of evil and chaotic smell.

"The polluted sea, similar to the Dark Mountains, is full of spatial rifts, but smaller, more singular, and only connected to the Endless Abyss. Polluted by the chaotic and evil aura of the abyss for many years, the creatures in this sea area have undergone demonic changes, which is quite dangerous. ”

Information about the polluted sea area quickly appeared in Lucian's mind, it was far away from the Solal Islands, the Pearl Islands, and really belonged to the depths of the endless ocean, even if Lucien flew with all his strength with advanced flying skills comparable to ordinary airliners on Earth, it took several days to get here, of course, Lucien found a small island to rest at night, to avoid excessive fatigue, and by the way to crack the Sun Scepter.

Because it is so far away from the land, and there are no precious minerals and specialties nearby, the Magic Council has not paid attention to this sea area until Lucien passed through the Storm Strait and encountered the Kou Tao Fishman robbing the Hailan Stone, and only then did he learn about the existence of the polluted sea area and obtain a map to go here.

At that time, Lucian's magic level was only one link, and he had no intention of coming to adventure. After submitting the information to the Council of Magic and receiving an Arcane Point reward, he forgot about it, and when he accepted the task of the Rhine and used the rights of the Arcane Review Committee to access the relevant information, it was discovered that the Council had completed a preliminary investigation into the polluted sea and the Koutao Fish-Man incident.

"Although the intelligence of the 'polluted sea' was not taken seriously at the beginning, and only gave me an arcane point, it was me who benefited the most. Well, the efficiency of the Matter Committee is really good, and the benefits of the organization's existence are not only in terms of material resources, magical knowledge, and security......"

Lucien thought about the information about the Koutao Fishman Altar in the polluted sea area as he pondered:

“...... Kou Tao Fishman, an intelligent creature, believes in Amborah, the god of the sea. Has a talent spell in water and illusion. It has strong hand-to-hand combat ability under the sea, and is widely present in the Storm Strait and the endless ocean, and has developed from a primitive tribe to a state form, with the altar as the core of settlement...... The royal family is generally located in the heart of the ocean altar five thousand kilometers northeast of the Solal Islands......"

"...... 'God of the Sea' Ambola is rumored to have fallen asleep since ancient times. Never respond to prayers. to the last millennium. The authority of the priests has been largely seized by the royal family, only as a symbol of faith and honor, for this. The Kou Tao Fishmen of the priest line were very dissatisfied, but due to their lack of strength, they were unable to make an effective resistance......"

“...... Around the beginning of May 816, a Koutao fish-man altar located in the polluted sea suddenly secretly claimed to have received an oracle from Ambola, the god of the sea, and asked the fish-man believers to collect a large number of materials in order to open the ruins hidden under the altar, awaken Ambola, and restore the majesty of divine power...... In view of the 'gods' involved, the matter was referred to the Supreme Council ......"

“...... In January 817, the Koutao Fishmen in the polluted sea area gathered all the resources and began to open the ruins, and the Emperor of Control, Brooke, the Silvermoon Scholar, Chelsea Holt, and other Excellencies 'watched from the sidelines'...... When the ruins were opened, Prince Kotao led many powerful men to arrive and seize control of the ruins, and they presided over the awakening ceremony......"

"The ritual failed and failed to awaken Ambola, and Lord Brooke and others did not find Ambola's 'corpse', but the opening of the ruins also brought about the resistance of the altar of the god of the sea to the pollution of the sea, so that the strong men of the priest line still retained a little hope, thinking that the awakening had actually been successful, but after years of sleep, the god of the sea could not recover his full strength, so it did not come, as long as the sacrifice continued for many years, one day, the god of the sea will surely return to its ancient glory. ”

"Due to the interference of the Kou Tao Fish-Man Royal Family, there are currently only two seven-ring-level high priests on the altar of the polluted sea, two seventh-level sea warriors, a 'Blue Guardian' order of about 100 people, and thousands of devout fish-man believers in the entire sea area. ”

It was this information that made Lucien think that the Koutao Fishman Altar in the polluted sea area was the simplest and easiest place to go, after all, when Rhine infiltrated the place, there was a ninth-level god priest, nine high-level powerhouses, and three middle- and low-level "Azure Guardian" orders, but after some infighting, as well as the interference and dispatch of the royal family, the ninth-level god priests and five high-level powerhouses "returned" to the Ocean Heart Altar, and most of the pious fishmen and "Azure Guardian" orders were moved away under the pretext that this place was "seriously polluted and unsuitable for survival".

Another advantage is that the Kou Tao fishman eats a lot of food, and the creatures polluted by the breath of the endless abyss are quite dangerous, and every day he goes out to hunt for food, he needs to be led by a high-level powerhouse, and many times, there is only one high-level guard left in the altar, which is for Lucian, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he can swagger in and leave calmly.

Originally, Lucien was worried that with the opening of the ruins and the failure of the awakening ceremony, Rhine's arrangement would become invalid, but Rhine said that there was no problem, but he could enhance his magic array because of this, but he frowned slightly and said:

"Safety is paramount, and when you throw your filthy blood into the altar, you must hold on to the 'pale justice'. After all, this place is connected to the Endless Abyss, and when the magic array is activated, it may alarm some crazy evil guys, although they cannot directly descend to the main world, but they can still be 'polluted' through part of the power of the connection. In fact, the crown of the sun has a very good defensive effect, but since you have taken the pale justice, you must choose the most powerful. ”

With both positive and negative affirmations, Lucien also had the idea of choosing the opportunity to dive in directly after observation.

The waves almost crashed against Lucian, and the smell of blood was strong, and a flounder suddenly jumped out and bit at Lucian.

This flounder is different from normal. The whole body is pitch black, two rows of teeth are sharp, and there are four pairs of baby-like arms on the body, glowing with a faint blue light, like a monster in a nightmare.

For demonic creatures, they are born to see through invisibility!

Lucien came back from his thoughts and turned his gaze to it.

The Demon Flounder disintegrated into countless points of light of different colors, returning to its pure elemental form, and quickly merging with its surroundings.

"At the beginning of May 816, he received the Oracle of Ambola. Isn't that what happened not long after the mystery of Maskeling's 'Grand Cross' collapsed......?

Hold back your doubts. Lucien blessed himself with magic such as "breathing in water" and "underwater action", as well as some spells to hide his breath and traces, and gently threw himself into the sea.

The sea water is crowded in all directions, rippling in a trance. Dreamy. Lucien followed the instructions of the intelligence and the map. Quickly swim towards a cave in the sea - the Kou Tao Fishmen are not deep-sea creatures, they live on reefs, rock walls, seagrass gathering places and other places about dozens of meters below the sea.

Strangely shaped fish swam past Lucien with a strange feeling, and they could be seen fighting chaotically from time to time. Half an hour later, Lucien saw the cave guarded by two fish-headed monsters.

............

Three days later, Lucien, who had confirmed the pattern of the Kou Tao Fishman's movements, stunned a fishman who was hunting nearby, transformed into its form, dragged a seven-section demonic sea snake, and entered the altar cave where ordinary invisibility and high invisibility were ineffective.

As soon as he turned the corner, Lucien threw the sea serpent into an empty lair, slightly changed the appearance of the "fish-man", carried the "frost sword", turned into an afterimage, hid, and "carefully hidden" in the direction of the altar.

Ambola, the god of the sea, had an altar decorated with a large number of Hailan stones, which were crystal clear and dreamy, and below the altar, there was a gray fish-man covered in grease, its scales had lost its luster and appeared a dull pale.

Suddenly, on the altar, the tall and majestic fish-man statue lit up with a light blue light, reflecting the "strange fish-man" that was rapidly approaching.

"Is there a strange fish-man infiltrating?, aren't the royal family still trying to explore the secrets of the god of the sea?" said Blancht, the fishman priestess, with strong resentment.

Seeing that the infiltrated fish-man was already near the altar, Blancht instructed the dozen or so "dark blue guards" around him:

"When he enters this cave, I will cooperate with the magic array to catch him, and I will carefully torture the royal family about what they want to do!"

"His speed is only at the level of a second-level ocean warrior, but he has a lot of magical equipment on his body, and the level is equivalent to level five, so don't be careless. ”

"Yes, Honorable High Priest!" a dozen or so dark blue guards looked at that scene with a cruel smile, this hateful fish-man who had turned his back on God really didn't choose a good time, and actually chose the high priest's daily prayer time, wasn't he looking to be discovered? Although when he approached the altar, he would also activate the altar's vigilance circle and alarm the high priest who was nearby, but it was always funny to throw himself into the net in such a stupid way.

The sneaky figure sneaked into this cave, and the sea water suddenly turned dark green, with a strong sense of paralysis, which made people's strength drain, and the surrounding dozen or so big knights, knight-level dark blue guards, and hundreds of illusory sea warriors shaped by the magic array, surrounded all directions.

"How bold to sneak into the altar with a sneaky magic item!" said High Priest Blancht, whose dark red eyes were cold, as he looked coldly at the fallen who had turned his back on God.

He didn't make a move, to deal with a fish-man warrior of this level, how could he take action personally, let alone open the altar with all his might.

Suddenly, a sparkling aura erupted from the stalker's body, and a blizzard suddenly filled the cavern.

One by one, the dark blue guards were frozen in place, and if it weren't for the fish-men's natural resistance to the cold, at least half of them would have died outright.

The frost aura spreads extremely fast, and the illusory sea warriors condense into ice and disintegrate in place. After Blancht was enveloped in a blizzard, he couldn't help but shiver, and he froze stiff and sluggish for two seconds.

"Oops! Could it be that the royal family sent someone to assassinate us and destroy the altar!"

The middle and low-level warriors suddenly turned into terrifying high-level mages, and at this moment, Blancht was full of panic and anger, had the royal family reached such a point of madness?

The fish-man mage beside him had been transformed into an ice sculpture, and an azure mirror on top of his magic robe stood out, keeping all the frost out.

"Start the altar now!"

"I'm also a high-level powerhouse!"

Just as Blancht got rid of his sluggishness and regained his confidence, and was about to use the altar to confront the powerful man who had raided, he was stunned to see that the fish-man already had an extra magic wand inlaid with a sunstone in his hand.

Bright and shining, Blancht only felt that the scene around him changed, the night fell, and the starry sky appeared!

"Special Labyrinth, is it the powerhouse of the Nine Rings?" Blancht lost his voice in horror.

Since labyrinth-type spells weren't directly life-threatening, and he was slowed down by the Frost Aura for another two seconds, many of the defenses either didn't have time to activate or had no effect.

"It's over, the altar is destroyed, and the royal family is so decisive and ruthless......"

"I am a sinner of the god of the sea......"

............

Lucien deliberately exposed it in order to paralyze Blancht's carelessness, and then preemptively trap it with the "Strange Labyrinth of Tanos" before it could break free from the Frost Aura's sluggish effect and react.

Five minutes is enough time to activate the magic circle by yourself and leave calmly!(To be continued......)
