Chapter 49 The water is four thousand meters deep
At a depth of thousands of meters, the seabed was suddenly stirred by violent air shocks, and a large number of white bubbles appeared. A powerful column of air erupted from behind Freya's crystal spear, drawing a waterline more than two meters long in the depths of the sea. Even on the side, the girls could clearly feel the violent fluctuations coming from the water, and the invisible waves slapped against them, allowing them to intuitively feel the intensity of the impact with their bodies. At the muzzle of the crystal energy gun, a dark blue streamlined light bullet with the thickness of an arm shot out, and the light bullet condensed by pure magical energy ignored the resistance of the water flow, and almost as soon as it was shot, it was in front of a deep sea monster in the blink of an eye.
The high-speed forward monster didn't even have time to react, and it collided head-on with the incoming light bullet, and the streamlined light bullet suddenly exploded when the two came into contact, allowing the violent magic energy contained in it to completely explode. The dark blue light bullet was completely composed of the magic energy of the ice attribute, and when it exploded, the aura of the cold filled the bottom of the sea, and even if it was more than ten meters away, you could feel the biting chill coming from the sea.
The dark blue energy mass exploded into countless light chips, and the icy energy devoured the body of the deep sea demonic beast. The sea water around the monster froze at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few seconds, the surrounding sea water formed a huge ice coffin nearly ten meters long, and in the ice coffin, the stiff body of the sea monster was still faintly visible, but it had lost its ability to move, was wrapped in the ice coffin, shook and sank to the bottom of the sea, and smashed on the ground of the seabed.
"I guess I'm faster. The corners of Freya's mouth turned up, and she turned to look at Vivien with a little snicker, but when she saw Vivien, she realized that Vivien's attack was over.
Vivien's attack didn't shake violently, there were no blinding light bullets, and there wasn't even a lot of movement. Vivien just raised her staff and used the tip to move a little further away in the direction that the sea beast was rushing into. There was no movement, just a light finger, and there was also no superfluous effect, just this point, the body of the deep sea demonic beast was completely stiffened, and it no longer made any movements to swim in the water, but continued to move forward a few meters by inertia, and then it sank straight towards the bottom of the sea like a stone. During the sinking process, it can be seen that its body began to freeze from the inside out, and the blue-white ice ballast quickly climbed up its skin, and the area covered by the ice ballast became larger and larger, and finally wrapped its entire body, making it completely blue-white. It wasn't until a few more seconds later that the cold air radiated through its body and began to freeze the sea around it little by little, but only a thin layer of it was frozen before it was shattered by the impact of the fall to the bottom of the sea.
"It's like I lost. Freya stared blankly at the deep-sea demonic beast that landed on the ground, and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity." ”
"Looks like you're faster than Vivien. Catherine was puzzled and asked, "Why did you say you lost?"
"My ice bomb froze it relatively quickly, but because it was from the inside out, there was a delay from stiffness to death. Freya shook her head and said: "But she is different, she directly froze the entire body of the Demon Beast from the inside, and the Demon Beast was already dead at the same time as it was frozen, so in fact, she was relatively fast." However, you are doing this by using the characteristic that the energy of the underwater water attribute is relatively strong, and if you are on land, you may not be able to achieve this effect. ”
"Take advantage of all available conditions, whether natural or man-made. Vivien crossed her hands on her hips, tilted her head proudly and said, "This is the way a mage should fight, haha, you want to win against a genius like me, it's still far away." ”
"What are you guys playing?" At some point, Pannis had already sneaked behind a few people, and suddenly shook the water and said, "Are you going to eat fish tonight?"
"If you want to eat, you need to learn how to cook under the sea. Catherine rolled her eyes and said, "Well, are there any results from the test? What about the three sea tribes?"
"It turns out that they don't give up even if they run away for a kilometer or two. And I tried to pull the distance to 300 meters, but they still chased after me and there was no tendency to return. So I suspect that unless I keep fleeing the current range of the Devil's Sea, I won't be able to get rid of them. Pannis replied, "But there is good news, after I got rid of them as I did just now, they spun around for a minute, and then they didn't return to where we are now, but started patrolling the area directly." In other words, if we encounter enemies that we can't dodge on the way, I can use this method to lure them away, which can greatly reduce the chance of fighting. ”
"Can be considered. Catherine got out from behind the giant reef, took out her underwater compass and pointed it in the opposite direction, and repeated the conjectures of the people about the controlled sea tribe: "What do you think? Is this a possibility?"
"It's hard to say, and it can't be denied that there is such a possibility. Pannis frowned and said, "But just as Lina suspects, even gods may not be able to do such a thing, and if it is man-made, then there is no reason to leave it alone." Anyone must have a purpose in doing something, but now I can't see what the purpose is, who would waste so much effort to do such a stupid thing. ”
"Forget it, don't guess. Catherine shook her head and said, "When the mystery is revealed, everything will be clear." ”
――――――――――――――――――――
It's hard to feel the passage of time in the underwater world, and the only way for the five members of the group to tell the time is by an underwater timer. Although the timer indicates that three days have passed, the lack of intuitive feeling makes all five people feel that there is no sense of reality. But fortunately, the time of these three days is not monotonous, for the creatures on land, the underwater world is always magical, along the land under the sea, there will always be something new every other distance.
When several people climbed a small hill under the sea along a slope, they were surprised to find that under the cover of the mud and aquatic plants under their feet, they were not stepping on the ground, but a mountain-like white skeleton. It can be mistaken for the white bones of the hills under the sea, but you can imagine how big the body will be, the back alone is more than 500 meters high, the length stretches for four or five kilometers, and the smallest bone is dozens of meters wide.
"Deniya bless. Lina exclaimed in a low voice, "Is this really a creature? ”
"So, the deep sea is the scariest place. It was the first time for Pannith to see the bones of such a reminder creature, squatting down and knocking on the white bones under his feet, and the feeling transmitted back by his fingers seemed to be the same as hitting a stone: "It's no wonder that Caleto will add a natural coercion to the sea tribes against the sea beasts, if there is no coercion, there is only one such reminder of the monsters, I am afraid it will cause a large number of casualties to the sea tribes." ”
"You haven't heard of this beast either?" asked Catherine.
"I've never heard of it. Climbing on the corpse, one of the teeth of the white bone was larger than the size of several people, Pannis lowered his head and said: "Look at the shape of a monster like a whale, tsk, even the giant sea tribe like Badia can't compare to it." ”
"You'd better come and have a look. Several people were looking down at the corpse beneath their feet, and Vivien suddenly stared ahead and said, "Something interesting has appeared." ”
"What do you see?" Catherine leaned over, but without the blessing of Eagle Eye, she couldn't see through the sea in front of her, but because she stood on a high place without shelter, she could still vaguely see something emitting a hazy light a few hundred meters ahead, just like the light of phosphorus algae she had seen before. Catherine was pleasantly surprised, "Finally met phosphorus algae again?"
"It's not that simple. Vivien shook her head and said, "Where is our current location in the Devil's Sea?"
"The sea area of 100,000 square kilometers is not regular, but it can be judged roughly. Pannis said while silently calculating: "In three days, we are probably close to the scope of the original Devil's Sea, which means that we are about to approach the core area. It can also be seen from the Sea Clan patrols encountered that the number of encounters is increasing. ”
"If my knowledge is correct, the sea should be covered in thick fog all year round, right? Vivien said, "It's unlikely that you'll be able to cross the ocean unless you're flying at an altitude of seven or eight thousand meters." ”
"It's common sense. Catherine replied, "Even adventurers and mercenaries who develop desert islands rely on the navigation of the Sea Clan to navigate the Trek Zone, and the risks are high. ”
"I remember Priest Doris mentioning earlier that the Devil's Sea is far from the land, in the depths of the sea. Vivien said, "There seems to be no record of an adventurer entering such a deep sea to exploit the island." ”
"Of course not, entering such a deep sea, with the current technology, even if there is navigation by the sea tribe, it is tantamount to suicide. Catherine frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "What the hell do you want to say?
"Indeed, there has never been a record of anyone going deep into the sea. Freya said, "You don't really see the Pioneers, or their ships, do you?"
"I don't know if it's a trailblazer or not, but I did see a ship, a big, big wreck. Vivien pointed ahead and said, "In the Devil's Sea Domain, which will bring the Sea Clan under control, and it is close to the core of the Devil's Sea Domain, I actually saw a shipwreck that could not exist, and the meaning here is really a bit complicated.
