Chapter 80: First Glimpse of the Void
Under everyone's nervous gaze, Ryan controlled the Waterstone Man to dig up the saline ground.
Slowly, more and more tentacles were dug out, and they were limp motionless, squirming slightly in the saline ground, and the strangely shaped tentacles were dripping with purple viscous liquid, and the people who looked at them were disgusted.
As the entire saline land was excavated, its full appearance was revealed.
It's a monster that's too big to be called a creature.
No hands and feet, no organs.
Countless tentacles wrapped around a large purple eyeball, which closed tightly, leaving only a narrow purple slit.
When the deformity was excavated, a feeling of unpleasant nausea spread through Ezreal and Seraphine's hearts.
Ezreal was only physically unwell, but Seraphine seemed to hear the whisper of her soul in her ears.
Messy, disorderly, nothing...
The babbling made her breathless, and she even felt like she was going crazy.
"Make good use of his stage, he is the best amplifier and the best suppressor."
Hearing the teacher's voice, Seraphine came back to her senses, and her consciousness was connected to the Hex Gem on the stage.
The stage lit up with a bright blue light, and a shield enveloped her. She felt a light in her ears, and the whispering disappeared in an instant.
Seraphine exhaled, and said with a palpitation:
"Teacher, just listening to its unconscious whispering is already unbearable."
"That's normal, you're still very young. Don't look at the ease we just won, in fact, it has no power in a hundred. If it's in a period of total victory..."
Ryan shook his head slightly, but Seraphine already understood what the teacher meant.
Even the existence of a teacher is not sure of victory.
Ryan looked at the deformed being in front of him, recording the information he had just harvested in his mind.
Feeds on magic, is hard to kill, unconscious, chaotic babbling.
He was almost certain that it was the same as the calamity that had occurred in Acacia.
It is mentioned in the accounts left by some of the Empire's ascended gods that this deformed existence has a special name.
After actually seeing them, he felt that the word was appropriate.
Void!
"Teacher, what are we going to do with it?"
Seraphine asked curiously, looking at the void creatures.
"Take it and put it in a safe place." Ryan replied.
"But... What do we take to take it? ”
"When the Shurima put it in saline, it must have been this method that restrained it. The difference between the saline and the rest of the world is that no life grows on it, and no magic is attached to it. ”
"Just in case, it's best to use local materials."
Ryan said, his hands slightly raised.
From above the creature, four curtains of water suddenly fell.
The seemingly soft and weak water turned into the sharpest water blade at that moment, encircling the void creature in a square and cutting into the saline ground.
Immediately after, Ryan squeezed his hand lightly.
The saline-alkali sand soil wrapped the void creatures and slowly rose into the sky, and more saline sand adhered to them, burying the void creatures again.
"Teacher, doesn't it absorb magic?"
The studious Seraphine asked at the right time, wondering why Ryan's magic hadn't revived him.
"Why do you think Ezreal's armguards can damage it?" Ryan asked rhetorically, reinforcing the seal in his hand.
"It's the weapon of the Ascended Gods, and it's attached to their power." Seraphine said without hesitation.
Ryan smiled: "The essence of the power of the Ascension Gods is also magic, but it may be called differently, but they can not be devoured, why is that?" ”
"Hmm... Magic and magic are not the same? ”
Seraphine thought about it for a long time and could only come to one such conclusion.
The smile on Ryan's face was even stronger, and under Seraphine's confused gaze, he explained:
"Magic and magic are really not the same. We all know that stones and clods of earth are very different from each other, if the magic of an ordinary mage is sand, then the magic of a heroic mage is a clod of earth, and the ascension god can be called a hard stone, and it is also an enchanted stone. ”
"Like water, from steam to liquid water, condensing into ice?" Seraphine asked a new question, "But wasn't it able to devour the teacher's magic before?" ”
Ryan nodded slightly, and the magic continued to output, controlling the surrounding saline land to fly:
"Your analogy is apt. It can devour sand and clods of dirt, but it is difficult to shake stones. If it had been in its heyday, it might have drained me in an instant. But now that it is running out of energy, it is difficult to absorb even clods of soil. ”
Ryan could feel the desire of the void creature to devour and absorb, but the other party had been squeezed dry, and as long as he didn't let go of his grip on magic, he wouldn't let it take advantage of anything.
"So... If it were me and Orianna, it would be its tonic. And the teacher's words, it is helpless. Seraphine gave an example.
"No, Orianna is different."
In the confused gaze of his apprentice, Ryan explained with a smile:
"Hexgems are like stones or ice, hard to shake. In addition, Orianna is a mechanical body, and there is no life to feed it. If that weapon could be modified, Orianna would have had an easier time facing it than I did. ”
"You've got a good reputation, Mr. Ryan." Orianna bowed her head slightly.
It's true that she's not affected by the Void creatures, but she doesn't have much attack power right now. Without professional training, even if she has good physical fitness, her combat effectiveness is extremely weak.
If she really wanted to fight hand-to-hand, she couldn't even beat Katerina.
"It's done!"
At this moment, under Ryan's control, the saline sand floated in the air, turning into a large white ball.
And inside the sphere, the void creature slumbered.
"Let's go, there's nothing left to stay here. Regarding the rest of the place, don't move for now. In a few months, I'll let the Empire's dedicated people take care of these things. Ryan commanded.
"Today's events won't be kept secret." Ezreal was holding the stone tablet, his expression a little depressed.
The opportunity he finally found to make a name for himself was about to be given up.
Of course, if Ryan nodded, he wouldn't have any opinion.
God knows if there are other void creatures underground, fame is important, but it can't cause disaster for this.
If something goes wrong because of his discovery, he'll be stinking for 10,000 years.
"Mr. Ezreal, you've done a good job this time, and I'm willing to privately fund your new Explorers' Guild. I have one condition, though. ”
Ryan looked at Ezreal's expression of 'just say it, I must hide it in my stomach today', and he smiled slightly:
"The guild's headquarters must be in Noxus, and the historical information that the explorers get is something we are entitled to share. Of course, we will also provide modest assistance, such as the assistance of the local Noxian army, such as the best expedition equipment. ”
"No problem at all!"
Ezreal had never seen such an arrogant patron to share information, help with the army, and equipment for the expedition.
He will never give up this kind of free opportunity.
Not to mention being based in Noxus, it is okay for him to be a Noxian, oh, the only premise is to be able to explore freely.
"Mr. Ezreal, the President of the Noxian Explorers' Guild and the Empire's First Explorer, the story of your solo discovery of Ozra Vazuan's expedition will spread throughout the world in a few months."
Hearing the other party's assurance, Ryan teased in a relaxed tone.
"I like that title, a few months, right!" Ezreal's eyes lit up.
He's going to be famous!
As for the need to wait, he felt that there was no problem, and the other party had to take advantage of the benefits here.
After all, he is also half Noxian now, and the more the other party gets, the greater the support for himself in the future.
The other party agreed, and explored alone!
What could be more evident than his strength?
He could already imagine the time when all the explorers would call him the greatest president.
Oh, and the legendary explorer Ezreal has announced that this expedition was a perfect success!
