Chapter 72: Tide Palace
The Crescent left the stormy sea unharmed.
Follow the instructions on the magic map and head at full speed towards your destination.
After getting past the initial novelty of sailing, Ji Chen also became a little bored.
The process of sailing is actually not as magnificent and thrilling as imagined.
For the most part.
Day or night, there is nothing around you that can arouse interest except the same vast sea.
And I don't know if it's the sea southwest of the storm area, and it's not on the main route.
So at the end of the day, I didn't even see a single other ship.
However, there are a lot of marine life, whales, dolphins, and schools of fish can be seen everywhere.
There are also quite a few marine fish monsters, but they don't seem to have much interest in attacking a ship as large as the Crescent.
Time passed slowly.
Two days later.
The crescent moon gradually approaches its destination.
I don't know when a white mist floated on the sea.
And as you go deeper, the concentration gradually increases, so that you can't see your fingers.
The silence was at its core, except for the faint sound of the bow of the ship breaking through the water.
There seems to be some kind of magnetic field or energy in this place, which greatly isolates the omnisighted crown's detection ability.
The current detection range is only 100 meters in size.
"My lord, are we going to go deeper? How do you feel a little weird here..."
Spalo looked at the thick fog around him and said with a slight uneasiness.
Ji Chen looked at the magic map that was emitting blue light in his hand, which became brighter and more dazzling as he approached the destination.
It looks like it's not far away.
He shouted with a calm expression.
"Don't worry, keep moving slowly."
His firm tone gave the pirate a shot in the arm.
The ships continued to go deeper.
Half an hour later.
The fog cleared a little, revealing the surroundings slightly.
A piece of land appeared in front of it.
In the mist.
In the center of the building is a large bluestone palace.
A brick and stone road flanked by dozens of tall bluestone pillars stretches from the palace entrance to the position in front of the bow of the Crescent.
The position of the docking between the two parties is precisely as if they had been discussed in advance.
Looks like this should be it.
"The pirates are on the ship, and the rest are going down with me."
Ji Chen said loudly, and then looked at the captain.
"Spallo, you take the pirates to protect the ship, and be sure to wait for me to return from inside."
Sparrow nodded solemnly, "I see." ”
After the command.
He didn't delay any longer, lowering the landing boat and letting the shallow fish-man push the boat onto land.
Under the protection of the army, walk along the brick road in the direction of the palace.
The bluestone pillars on both sides are twenty or thirty meters high, and some strange and powerful sea creatures are engraved, lifelike, and not angry.
Walking in the middle is like moving forward under their gaze.
Let his heart lift a little.
The closer you get to the palace, the more you can feel the majesty and grandeur of this palace.
The city wall is majestic, carved beams and painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions, and covered bridges are continuous.
Under the background of the faint white mist, it seems to be the temple of some god.
Daunting.
Near the gate of the palace, a black shadow on all fours seemed to sense the arrival of the living, breaking through the fog.
About fifty sea lion-like pinniped monsters with sharp teeth are coming.
【Tidal Beast】
[Race]: Tidal Sea Clan
[Level]: 10
[Rank]: 8 stars of the second order
[Skill]: Bloodlust (Blue skill, damage will activate blood)
Bloodthirsty Fangs (Blue skill, sharp fangs with strong penetration and bite power)
Strengthens the body (green skill with strong muscles and bones, increased movement speed in water)
[Class Characteristics]: Guardian (Won't leave the temple surroundings)
[The guardian beast that guards the temple instinctively expels all those who enter]
"Attack!"
There is not much to say.
The special main class should be in this palace, and these tidal beasts are gatekeepers and hostile.
Then you can only fight all the way in.
The shallow sea fishmen quickly threw a wave of tridents, killing more than a dozen.
The Naga warrior stepped forward with his sword in hand and fought the rest of the tidal beasts in a bloody battle.
With their strength, it was still very easy to deal with a group of second-order 8-star monsters.
After more than ten minutes, silence returned to the surroundings.
"Ding~ You have a victory full of honor. You've gained 3,800 XP..."
Walk through the blood and wreckage everywhere.
Came to the gate of the palace.
The stone gate is at least 30 meters high, and it is engraved with mystical and intricate patterns and patterns.
Man stands in front of him, as small as an ant.
As he pondered the meaning of these patterns and patterns.
The stone door creaked suddenly, and with a rough grinding sound, the door opened automatically, revealing the path leading inside.
Ji Chen was slightly stunned.
Without much hesitation, he beckoned the army to begin to enter.
Behind the door is a long passage that leads into the white mist-filled depths.
It is flanked by towering ramparts without any points to cling to.
When all the troops entered the passage, the gate suddenly closed with a bang.
Combined with the foggy, silent scene, it is like the scene of a horror movie.
To say that there is no panic at all is false.
"Damn, it's pretty weird..."
Ji Chen took a deep breath before continuing to walk deeper.
The scene is weird and weird, but there is no monster coming out of the scene.
After advancing about a few hundred meters.
Again encountered a stone gate, behind which was an enclosed circular open-air plaza, surrounded by stone walls tens of meters high.
It was empty, and there was no sign of a monster.
They quickly walked inside.
In addition to the stone gate that enters, there is a stone gate in the other three directions.
It's like a Colosseum with no auditorium.
The stone gate is the passage through which the enemy is released.
Similarly, upon entering, the stone door behind it slowly closes.
Immediately, a mechanical voice rang out.
"Unknown challenger, welcome to the Palace of the Tides."
"I left a wisp of unconscious thought for the Lord of the Tides to guide the challengers who came here to obtain the inheritance of the Tidelord profession."
"Now that you've been able to get here, it means that you've defeated the Tidal Beast guarding the gate and have the initial qualification for the challenge."
"The Tidelord is an extremely powerful marine class, possessing great strength and being able to easily manipulate the tides to tear apart enemies."
"But the challenger needs to pass all the challenges before he has a chance to get the inheritance."
"In addition, even if the challenger is unable to obtain the inheritance in the end, rare treasures will be given according to the situation of the challenge."
"So, unknown challenger, are you ready?"
The sound of machinery echoed in the open square for a long time.
Ji Chen's heart gradually became hot.
Didn't he leave the territory and spend so much time here just to get this special Ocean Master class?
And it sounds like a very powerful profession too.
As for the need to pass the challenge to obtain the inheritance, he is already mentally prepared enough.
After all, there's no pie in the sky... Well, except for those caught by fishing.
Without much hesitation, Ji Chen unfolded his army and said loudly.
"I'm ready."
After a moment's delay.
The sound of machinery sounded again.
"The first level, the tide beast tide. The first wave, the second order 8 stars, number: 100. ”
The words just fell.
Except for the stone gate when they came, the other three stone gates slowly rose.
A large group of monsters with flippers, limbs, fangs and teeth rushed out of it.
It was the Tidal Beast that I had encountered at the palace gate before.
But there are only about fifty guarding the door, and here are a hundred, and the difficulty of killing is directly doubled.
