Chapter 130: Traction line
【West Aslan Empire・Rennes Sea】
The blue sea stretches as far as the eye can see. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In winter, the sea shook some broken ice floe, the cold air mixed with the fishy smell of the sea, and the sea under the moonlight had a bleak gloom.
In the cold winter season, the birds mostly stay in the caves of the cliffs, rarely go out, they huddle together to keep warm, and from time to time they make a weak chirp or two, almost inaudible in the roaring waves.
Silver Dust stood on the edge of the cliff and found that the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring had already woken up.
She stood on the edge of the cliff, the wind blowing her robes behind her. Silver Dust stood up and greeted her. Lianquan turned his head: "Are you resting well?"
"It's ok. Silver Dust nodded, "What about you?"
Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring didn't answer, but in fact, there was no need to answer, and Yinchen could also sense the abundant and powerful soul power inside her body. Although there was a certain distance away, and she did not release the soul power in her body at the slightest, the strength level of her soul power was already very different from the previous Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring. After a night's rest, the two completely different soul circuits in her body have been completely fused together, and her slender and light body is like being trapped in a raging golden sea, which can roar out monstrous waves at any time, enough to swallow heaven and earth.
"If you're ready, let's go. Yinchen looked at the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring and said.
"If you want to rescue Gilgamesh, the two of us alone may not be enough......" Lianquan looked at Silver Dust, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "We still need one more person." ”
【Western Aslan Empire・Grante・Cross Corridor】
The blue flames shone on the black water surface under the stone steps, and the bottomless pool water emitted a cold light, like a pool of poisonous snake's tooth liquid, and a thick layer of white mist floated on the water surface.
Treya and Nether walked up the stone steps above the water, and without speaking, they walked side by side in the corridor that led to the silver priest's room.
When the two of them came to the crossroads, they looked up at the room in the middle with the door closed, and they looked at each other and understood each other. Then, Treya turned and walked to the room to the right, and the Nether walked to the left.
The sound of heavy stone doors opening in the empty cross-cloister then slowly closed.
The heart regained its complete dead silence.
【West Aslan Empire・Grant, Silver Priest Room】
The Netherworld stood in front of the crystal wall, his usual cynical smile on his face, but he didn't kneel. He just stood quietly, waiting for the order of the silver priest.
"Nether, you go to Rennes City as soon as possible, and be sure to bring the Heavenly Bouquet of Dark Flowers back to the Imperial Capital before the Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring and Silver Dust. The silver priest's low, slightly metallic voice echoed through the empty room from the crystal walls, "And, make sure to bring her back to the imperial capital alive." ”
"Heavenly Bouquet of Flowers, I don't really understand......" Nether's sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly, his pupils shrunk slightly like snakes, "As far as I know, the soul circuit in her body is incomplete, right? A half-waste apostle, what are you bringing back for? If it's to be cleaned up, why should I just go and kill her?"
"Ghost Mountain Lotus Spring and Silver Dust want to rescue Gilgamesh, and the Heavenly Bouquet of Flowers will be one of the keys to their success. I don't think you want Gilgamesh to be rescued from captivity, do you? You know, it took a lot of effort for the three of you to imprison him, and if he comes out, the first thing he will look for is Zira, Treya, and you, right? ”
Nether's face turned slightly pale: "I'm the Lord of Killing, I'm only responsible for killing, Tianshu Youhua is such a waste, just send a few silver messengers to bring her back, I don't need-"
"Needless to say, get there as soon as possible. The cold voice of the silver priest interrupted Netherworld's words.
Nether took a deep breath and didn't say anything more, turning to walk out the door.
【West Aslan Empire・Grant, Silver Priest Room】
Treya respectfully knelt on one knee on the cold stone floor, a smile on the corner of her mouth, which made her already cold face a little more charming. Her jet-black hair was edged with a glow of blue light from the tall crystal walls. She didn't speak, and she wasn't the only one in the room.
Although she kept her head down, her attention was focused on the silver messenger standing in the dark corner of the room at the moment. He hid in the shadows like a ghost, his hands in front of his chest, in a very strange position.
"Silver Priest, may I ask what mission summoned me this time......" Therea was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"This is a task that only you can accomplish. Treya, you need to set off immediately and head to the Abyssal Corridor to find and bring back the corpse of a young boy. The voice of the silver priest came from within the wall.
When she heard the words "little boy's corpse", Treya's eyelashes moved slightly, she adjusted her breathing, raised her head, and asked with a smile: "Little boy's corpse? Silver Priest, I heard it right, you are talking about the Abyss Corridor, right? The canyon is full of all kinds of ferocious soul beasts, even if there are a hundred corpses, they have already been eaten cleanly." ”
"You don't have to worry, no soul beast will want to eat that corpse, they won't even come close. I believe that there will be no soul beast willing to linger in the large area around that corpse. ”
Treya probably understood in her heart, but she still maintained a blank expression, her brows furrowed slightly, expressing that she didn't understand-she didn't understand, it meant that she could continue to ask, as long as she continued to ask, she could get information, and the more information she could get, the longer she could live in this bloody killing world.
She sighed softly, "Silver Priest, although my talent is a wide range of soul power perception, but, I think, a corpse should have no soul power......, right? Moreover, the area of the abyss corridor is vast and intricate, and the miasma swamps and jungles in the canyon are dense, so it is too difficult to search, so many fierce beasts, I am alone...... Send dozens of silver messengers to find it, I think it's more useful than me looking for it alone, right?"
"Treya, you don't have to be too modest, you have the god-level shield 'Goddess's Skirt' to escort you, even in the face of thousands of soul beasts, you are still in a no-man's land. ”
As soon as the Silver Priest's words fell, the Silver Messenger, who had been standing in the corner, walked out of the shadows and walked slowly towards Treya, and as he got closer, Treya saw clearly that the strange posture he had been holding his hands on his chest in the shadows was actually because he had been holding a pitch-black box. The box is carved with extremely intricate patterns, which looks like an ebony material, but there is no smell of sandalwood, on the contrary, there is a ...... There was a faint smell of blood, carved from blackened wood that had been soaked in blood for a long time.
Treya summoned her talent slightly, and inadvertently shrouded the box in the silver messenger's hand, like a wisp of wind blowing, almost unnoticed. However, a cold and sharp sting immediately slammed into Treya's mind as soon as her perceptual soul power covered the box.
Her heartbeat was spurred by the sudden pain.
"You don't have to be tempted. The Silver Priest's voice rang out, "This was meant to be used for your induction. ”
The silver messenger walked up to Treya and slowly opened the box, Treya looked inside the box, and her pupils instantly narrowed. At the bottom of the box, there was a thick black liquid, like flowing black metal, and the black goo seemed to be alive, constantly struggling, constantly screaming, no, it should not be a scream, there was no sound in the ears, but the mind was full of terrible screams, like the sound that destroys all human reason and emotion when thousands of babies are burned at the same time, very clearly, echoing in the mind - an inaudible sound.
"You mark this feeling of soul power and use it as a clue to search, and I think you'll be able to complete the mission in no time. The Silver Priest's voice sounded a little cold.
Even colder, however, was Treya's palm. She subconsciously clenched her fists, barely suppressing her panic: "Mark?...... What do you mean ......"
"Your talent has already evolved from a simple large-scale accurate soul power perception to a new ability, hasn't it? Once the prey is locked by your perceptual talent, it will automatically leave a mark on the prey, and this mark will pull out a qualitative and invisible traction line between you and the prey, no matter how far the prey escapes to the ends of the earth, unless you run out of soul power, otherwise, as long as you don't take the initiative to cut off this traction line, then no matter where it escapes, how far away it is from you, it is as close as it is in front of you, and the traction caused by this mark will not be blocked by any substance, solid, liquid, magnetic field...... Therefore, even if the marked person hides under the sea and underground, it is useless. Am I right?"
A fine bead of sweat broke out on Treya's forehead.
"It's just Treya, you should remember one of the rules you need to follow as an erodeer, right? If the talent is an evolutionary talent, then after generating a new ability, you must report it to the Silver Priest and record the new ability. Why haven't you reported it yet?"
"I'm sorry, Silver Priest. Treya's heart was beating faster and faster, and she was worried that it was not the "mark" that would be exposed, but the ...... She lowered her head and hid her gaze, "Because I'm still confused about the ability that I've evolved, I haven't fully figured it out, and I was planning to ......report back to you after I figured it out."
"Are you confused, the 'traction line' caused by the mark is too much of a drain on soul power?"
"Yes......" Treya's heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she understood that the Silver Priest knew far more information than she expected, so the best response was to tell the secondary secrets, sacrifice the secondary secrets, and keep the important secrets," Once the marking is completed and the prey begins to escape, my soul power will be depleted faster and faster, so unless I am sure that I can catch up with the prey in a short time, I generally don't dare to mark easily, otherwise, when I catch up with the prey, my soul power has been very seriously depleted, and the relationship between me and the prey will be reversed, turning myself into a self-contained prey......"
"The degree of depletion of soul power by the 'traction line' depends on two factors, one is time, that is, the time from the moment of the mark, to the end of the mark, and the other is space, that is, the absolute distance between the prey and you, the so-called absolute distance is the straight-line distance between you and the prey without considering any path barrier. The process of prey escape is actually a process in which these two factors increase at the same time......"
"So, is it possible to avoid the drastic depletion of soul power by this new ability?" Therea looked up, her eyes flashing with obvious excitement.
"Yes, it can be significantly reduced, and in principle, the marker can reduce the soul power consumption of the 'traction line' to a negligible level. The Silver Priest's voice still sounded cold, but there was a faint sense of something else.
"So what can I do?" Treya tried to make her question seem sincere and urgent, but it wasn't what she really wanted to hide.
"After you have successfully completed this mission, as a reward, I can tell you the relevant solutions. The Silver Priest said, "Actually, you are so smart, you should be able to think of it?There is a person in the Yaslan Realm who happens to be proficient in both time and space......
"I see...... Thank you Silver Priest for the reminder. Treya suddenly smiled brightly, "In order to avoid unnecessary battles with the soul beasts on the periphery of the Abyss Corridor, then please let the Third Degree King Qila make a chess piece and send me directly to the core of the Abyss Corridor......"
"Don't be clever enough to not let you study the Seala right now. The Silver Priest interrupted Treya, "He has other tasks on his way, and you'll need to get there on your own." ”
"What is the ...... of Chira's mission?"
"You go as soon as possible. ”
"Yes. Treya's face was embarrassed, and she stood up in a daze, and she endured the sharp pain in her mind, and used her soul perception to envelop the black liquid and make a mark.
A traction line that only she could see connected the pitch-black liquid in the box to Treya, but it was very strange that from Treya's position, a second traction line suddenly shot out, it pierced through the stone wall straight and disappeared at the end of the field of vision, Treya understood, the second traction line, shot towards the distant abyss corridor.
"Then I'll go at once. Treya bowed her head and retreated, "Before my soul power is exhausted, I will reach the Abyss Corridor as soon as possible." ”
"Go ahead. ”
The heavy stone door closed behind Treya, and the heart she had been holding tightly fell back into her chest. Her back was already drenched in cold sweat. (To be continued.) )
