Chapter 189: Into the Earthsea
In the midst of the king's unwilling roar, Roman and Joss crossed the teleportation black hole and reached the other side of the teleportation array, and then destroyed the witch circle with a fireball.
In this way, the king will not be able to find this place through the witch circle.
At this point, the feud between Roman and the free city-state came to an end, and a new chapter in the journey began.
Thanks to the spatial bees exploring the way first, Roman was no stranger to his surroundings, they were in a narrow cave, and everything was hidden under the perception of the spirit magic.
One end of the cave is a glimmering exit, and the other end is cut off by a stone wall, so if you don't want to stay in the cave, you can only move towards the light source.
But in the perception of the two, there was a large spider crawling at the exit, the size of a passenger car, and in order to successfully get out of the cave, the spider must be killed.
So the two of them didn't talk nonsense, and used the Rotten Poison Domain and the Rotten Witch Array, melted the spider into a puddle of pus, and walked out of the cave safely, and saw the green sea of earth.
This is a stone island, the magic power spreads, there is no vegetation on the island, and there is no water, only stones.
God knows how that spider survived.
Stone Island is small, the size of a football field, and there is an inner lake in the center of the island, similar in shape to the Black Sea, and a strait is connected to the open sea.
Just as the two of them continued to activate the essence magic power and probe more places, they found that the essence magic power could not be advanced an inch, and in shock, the two hurriedly checked, but found that their strength had fallen to the peak of the first level.
Joss was surprised, "What's going on! β
Roman recalled the relevant information and replied: "We are not accustomed to the water and soil, whenever the difference between the two places is too great, the wizard's cultivation will temporarily decline, and it will generally be better after a while." β
At the same time, I asked in my heart: "Chip, how long will this state last?" β
"Ding! About ten years..."
"Ten years... It's not too lateβ" Roman muttered, and then gave Joss the message.
And Joss due to the special body structure, the recovery time is five years.
Then both of them breathed a sigh of relief, they did not lack time, but the stagnation of strength was unbearable.
Joss asked curiously, "What kind of place is this earth-sea?" I have a very bad feeling! β
Roman took out the engram and imported the knowledge, then gave it to Joss, explaining as she absorbed it:
"In ancient times, the Mana ecology was raging, and the sorcerers sent a part of the human race and all the knowledge to the earth and sea in order to preserve the fire of civilization."
"In order to ensure that the earth sea is not invaded by Mana, the corpse of the ancient gods is sealed here, and the ancient gods are extremely powerful beings, imperceptible, and indescribable."
"The corpses of the ancient gods produce a kind of pollution, making living beings a source of spiritual pollution, becoming indescribable and invisible."
"If the strength is not enough, rash direct vision and perception will lead to mental pollution and cause irreversible damage."
"Mental pollution? What exactly? Joss frowned: "According to the information, in the Earth Sea World, wizards should not spread range perception unless necessary, and remain consistent with mortals. β
"Isn't that only to see with your eyes and hear with your ears? Is the world so dangerous? That spider just now couldn't last a round! β
Roman sighed: "I don't know, but the specific manifestation is that they will become crazy, and some people will gouge out their eyes, prick their deaf ears, and pray that they will not receive those messages again." β
Imagining that scene, Joss couldn't help but shudder, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and she muttered, "In the earthly sea, humans are too weak!" β
Looking at the dark green water and the dark sky, Roman sighed and said:
"The ancient gods are indescribable existences, only the strongest wizards of the ancient world can kill them, and the strongest ones in the earth and sea are only the third level."
"At this level, even the mental pollution is exhausted... So we have to be careful, too. β
Joss took a deep breath: "No, since Dihai has obtained all the ancient inheritance, why don't there be more advanced wizards?" β
Remembering the black market intelligence, Roman replied:
"Because it takes resources to promote a high-level wizard, and Dihai has no resources, even if you get resources by luck, the corpse of the ancient god will emit radiation, making the promotion of a third-level wizard fail."
It's like even if there is internal combustion engine technology, but there is a lack of oil, even if it is obtained by chance, the oil will deteriorate, directly blocking the road to the second industrial revolution.
"So, if you want to be promoted to a fourth-level wizard, you still have to leave this place in the end." Roman muttered to himself.
But for now, they only need to be promoted to a third-level wizard, and they are not in a hurry to leave Earth Sea for the time being.
At this time, Joss suddenly smiled and said: "I suddenly found that this island is not bad, the world is wide, but there are only me and Roman!" β
Then he stroked Roman's chest and said softly: "Here, none of us have to care, we can do whatever we want, we only do three things, eat, cultivate, and applaud!" β
"Wait until you are promoted to the third level, and then find a way to get out of here!"
Although there is no water and no food on Stone Island, Roman has a secret realm, and the secret realm lacks anything, lacks cultivation resources, and can also go directly to the high-level black market to exchange it.
As long as Roman continues to meditate according to the psionic inheritance, and Joss continues to make devouring harmless mutants, the two will eventually be promoted to the third level.
Therefore, theoretically, the two of them do not need to come into contact with human society, let alone join any organization, and they can cope with life and cultivation on their own.
Although the department will take a little longer to build cars, they are not short of time, and their life is incomparably long, so they can afford to wait.
I have to say that Roman was a little moved, and when he was about to think about it, he suddenly skimmed to the sea in the distance, and immediately knew how those spiders survived.
Joss followed Roman's gaze, only to see countless black spots appear on the turquoise sea, and the essence magic power spread, and immediately found a swarm of spiders.
Feeling that these spiders can swim, Roman killed their kindred, and immediately came to take revenge with a roar.
To deal with water targets, the two did not hesitate to use sand sea bombs, the principle of which is the same as that of depth charges, which are both detonated under pressure.
The energy balls smashed into the water, exploding huge waves, and the diving spider swarms were scattered by the powerful water pressure, and their bodies were violently deformed as if they had encountered a heavy hammer.
The spider's legs were broken, the spider's belly was pierced, and countless spiders died before they even touched the shore.
Just as the two of them were about to kill, the spiders seemed to have received an order, and they all retreated to the open sea, forming a front to surround Stone Island and stop the attack.
The two were slightly surprised, this situation means that there is a leader behind the spider, and the leader has a certain IQ.
In other words, as long as you kill the boss, the spiders will fall apart.
Subsequently, the two of them spread their essence magic power to try to find the trace of the spider leader, and the two were not worried about not finding it, because in order to command their subordinates, they must be in a place where they can see.
And perceptual distance, what kind of creature is better than a wizard?
But the two looked around, but they didn't find anything, and Joss frowned and said, "Could it be that the spider has a farther detection distance than us?" Even know the death of a companion on the island in time! β
Roman shook his head: "Not necessarily, the enemy's offensive has stopped now, I'll think about it again..."
At the same time, he ordered in his heart: "Chip, scan the environment, and analyze it in detail!" β
"Ding! The task is established, the analysis begins..."
A huge amount of information poured into his mind, and Roman soon made a discovery, deep underground, buried these countless spider silks, which stretched into the sea, forming large cobwebs in the nearby sea.
The leader of the spider swarm relies on the cobweb, perceives the information of the cobweb, and directs the swarm, so as long as the cobwebs are destroyed, the command of the swarm can be interrupted and the leader is forced to appear.
Roman then tells Jos about this discovery, and then activates the Rotten Domain, where the webs are made of proteins, and when they encounter the Rot, they immediately crumble and the colony begins to disarray.
Subsequently, several men continued to fire depth charges, which blew the swarm on their backs, further exacerbating the chaos.
At this moment, Roman suddenly felt a burst of heart, as if he thought of something, and immediately shouted, "Josie! Turn off perception! β
Joss also felt panicked for no reason, and when she heard Roman's instructions, she immediately complied, and then asked, "What's the matter, that existence just now should be the leader of the spider swarm!" β
Roman looked pale and said, "Do you remember the aphorism on the data? Monsters in the earthsea, don't perceive, don't describe, don't probe! β
"Wizards are highly motivated, and if you perceive the leader of the spider swarm, there will be very bad consequences!"
Joss asked, "So what do we do?" The leader of the swarm is now regrouping! β
At this time, the chaotic spider swarm in the distance regrouped and approached the stone island from all sides, and Roman still did not lock on the position of the leader of the swarm.
Roman thought for a moment, and an idea popped up in his heart, and he replied, "I have a way, one more area attack, burn the spider silk!" Don't turn on the perception, lock it with the naked eye! β
The spider swarm fell into chaos again, and the cobwebs reorganized the ranks, at this time, Roman ordered: "Chip, take over the perception of essence magic, take over the witchcraft manipulation, and destroy the leader of the spider swarm!" β
"Remember, perceptual information interception, don't transmit memory zones!"
"Ding! The task is established, the authorization is obtained, the job begins..."
The next moment, the essence magic spread, and Roman threw several depth charges, smashing heavily into the sea somewhere in front of him, blowing up a large wave.
"Ding! The target is killed, the mission is completed..."
At this moment, on the distant sea, the sea spiders were in a mess, and under the continuous bombardment, they fled into the distance.
Joss was surprised and asked, "Roman, how did you do that?" If you don't rely on perception, you can't find a leader at all, right? β
Roman thought of a lie and said: "I can let the personality split, and the perceptual information can be borne by the sub-personality, as expected, that sub-personality is crazy and will be directly annihilated." β
"So, Josie, don't perceive what's under the surface of the sea, our brain structure can't process that information, and when you encounter weirdness, I'll perceive it first, and then you perceive it, you know?"
Josie's face was solemn, and she nodded: "I know, I won't hold you back!" β
Roman wasn't lying to Josie, after the battle, he asked in his heart: "Chip, the information you intercepted, if you instill the memory zone, will it hurt me!" β
"Ding! Yes, the impact on the brain is unpredictable, it is recommended to filter harmful information and treat it harmlessly! β
Roman agreed: "Then filter, then harmless, and then enter the memory area!" β
"Ding! The task is established, the job starts... Job done... Start Transferring! β
The next moment, countless images were transmitted to the brain, and Roman asked again, "The appearance of the spider leader will cause damage to the brain, right?" β
"Ding! Yes! β
Roman ordered again: "In this way, the image will be processed again, and the leader of the spider swarm will be replaced with a mosaic!" β
"Ding! The task is established, the job begins..."
The next moment, on the memory image, a mosaic appeared in the spider colony, spreading silk threads in all directions, connecting other spiders.
Roman nodded in satisfaction and replied, "Chip, take over all my sensory channels, including touch, sight, smell, and essence!" β
"All perceptual information must first be evaluated for the impact on the brain, and harmful information must be filtered before the memory area can be transmitted.
"Ding! Instructions are received, authority is taken over, information processing begins..."
The chip has no consciousness, no body, no subjective emotion, and is just used to process indescribable, indescribable information that cannot be looked at directly.
There is no more than one machine left and right, and according to the program, the SAN value cannot be low in any case.
At this time, Qiao Si said: "Roman, I suddenly feel that this world is a bit scary, it is better for us to stay on this island, and not go there, and then make plans to upgrade to the third level." β
Roman nodded and agreed: "I think it's okay, as long as the strength is enough, no matter what you want to do in the future, it will be a lot more convenient." β
So, the two took out the building materials and quickly built a two-story house on the stone island, and in order to prevent the high tide from flooding the island, they deliberately adopted the style of stilted buildings to increase the height of the house.
After the house was built, Joss proposed to plant some plants and insects and birds on the island, and Roman readily agreed.
The environment of the earth and sea is depressing, there is no light all year round, and if you live for a long time, it is easy to have psychological problems.
The natives here may be fine if they have never seen the sun, but Joss and Roman come from a secret realm where birds and flowers are scented, and staying in the earth and sea for a long time will be extremely uncomfortable.
After the secret realm is included in the ring, although it can be carried at will, it is inseparable from the ring and cannot exist directly in the void as before.
If Roman and Joss enter the secret realm and the ring has an accident and is smashed or taken away, the consequences will be unimaginable.
So Roman and Joss agreed that whenever someone enters the secret realm, the other person must guard the ring in case something unexpected happens.
This directly dispelled the idea of the two of them hiding in a secret realm to enjoy the paradise together, and the environment of Stone Island must be well transformed.
Joss was choosing materials in the secret realm, and Roman was left alone on the island, and he suddenly remembered that there was an inner lake in the middle of the island, and he didn't know what was at the bottom of the lake.
There may be a danger hidden below, if you want to settle down for a long time, the danger must be eliminated, the distance was far away before, and the detection was not comprehensive, This time he plans to close the distance and sweep it well.
The inner lake is circular, and on the other side of the island, a gap in the lake connects to the open sea, receiving the water source of the open sea.
Roman is not afraid to see the unspeakable, because all perceptual information is filtered by the chip to ensure that there is no danger before entering the brain.
Once a threat is detected, the image information will be replaced with a mosaic to orient the Roman and launch an attack.
In this way, it is not only possible to detect danger in time, but also to prevent harm.
Once the location is locked, the wizard can transform into a humanoid turret and blast the target to pieces.
You must know that all the fears in the world stem from lack of firepower!
The lake was dark and deep, and as the magic power spread, Roman quickly made a discovery.
At the bottom of the inner lake, there is a house with a courtyard!
It stood silently, as if waiting for someone to visit.
