Chapter 156: The Bottom of the Sea
"To the bottom of the sea?" Thor hurriedly followed, "I'll go check it out too." ”
Royer glanced at Thor meaningfully, "The amount of pollution on the seabed is seriously excessive right now. Are you sure you want to go? ”
Saul insisted, "Just in case, adapt in advance to being pulled under the sea." ”
That's true, but will the other party really continue to fight in such a dangerous situation?
But Sol said so, and it was not easy for him to refuse.
The place where Alfonso was originally not a secret place was not a secret place. It's just that no one else but him can stay in the sea for so long.
The two of them turned into two black shadows, and smashed headlong into the sea water with deep blue and almost black waves.
Visibility under the sea is lower than before. The intertwined roots and branches are like a labyrinth.
Instead of relying on their eyesight, Thor and Royer swam to the sea based on Alfonso's psychic power.
After a lot of effort, I finally swam out of the densest place on the bottom of the sea. It was much more empty.
Although it was still dark, Thor felt the layers of merfolk lying on the seabed just like the last time he went to sea.
These merfolk are in worse condition than the last time they were seen. Lazy, like half-asleep.
It's no wonder that although their resistance to the Kuroshio is far greater than that of ordinary people and wizard apprentices, they are not completely unaffected.
Now, due to the Kuroshio Current, the pollution index in the sea has reached a dangerous threshold, and these mermaids have also been affected.
I can't die for the time being, but it's definitely very uncomfortable.
It's just that no one cares if they're uncomfortable or not.
A few dozen meters further downstream, Thor finally spotted Alfonso.
The other party was standing in a witchcraft circle at this time, and when he felt the approach of Thor and Royer, he took the initiative to come out of the circle.
"Why are you here?" Alfonso's voice rang in the minds of the two.
Because it was a one-on-one transmission, Thor didn't hear what Royer and Alfonso said. I just saw Alfonso nodding silently.
"I'm going to see what's going on down under the sea." In the face of Alfonso, Thor did not say such a high-sounding reason.
After Alfonso and Royer finished exchanging, he turned to Thor and said, "My magic circle here is a hidden magic circle, and when the monsters attacked the wizards on the sea just now, there were actually wandering monsters under the sea. It's just that the magic of the wizards on the sea fluctuates strongly, which attracts their attention even more. If the monsters are not cleared in time and there are more and more monsters in the later stages, you may really need to go into the sea to fight. ”
So you really want to go under the sea?
However, that should also be the reason why the monsters on the sea surface were not cleaned up in time.
So, is there a reason for the death of Royer and the other three third-order wizards?
Was there a powerful monster at the bottom of the sea, or was there more than expected and everyone was caught off guard?
But there are still two fourth-order wizards, and it shouldn't cause the death of the three of them.
And what exactly the mask of the crowd is, Thor hasn't fully figured it out, but there are some guesses.
"I'm not afraid of fighting under the sea." Thor has also fought in the Kuroshio, whether it is his octopus tentacle form or the pitch-black skeleton form, he is suitable for fighting in the sea.
He looked at the merfolk around him, "These merfolk are in such a bad state, will something go wrong?" ”
The merfolk live behind the defense line, and as long as the defense line is not broken, neither the Red Sea Tree nor them will be attacked by monsters.
But the line of defense could not stop the pollution.
That's why Alfonso needs to keep an eye on the merfolk at the bottom of the sea. If the tribunal manages to withstand the Kuroshio Current, but the mermaids are unable to dispose of the pollution absorbed by the Red Sea forests after the Kuroshio is over, the tribunal will face a new pollution crisis.
Alfonso's voice was calm, "No problem. It's not the first time these merfolk have faced the Kuroshio Current, and although they don't look good right now, that's it, and they will be more active in eating after the Kuroshio is over. ”
His voice was interrupted for a moment, and then he added, "It's just that after every crazy eating, a large number of merfolk will die, so we also need to do artificial breeding afterwards." ”
Artificial reproduction is a series of processes from mermaid mating to juvenile maturation to ensure that the number of mermaids will return to normal in the shortest possible time.
Thor had seen such a tactic in some settlements in the Borderlands. This is how his first apprentice, Noah, was matured, and as a result, his body was "allergic" to magic, and if he hadn't been left in the chaotic realm by Thor, he would have entered the countdown to his life by now.
After a general understanding of the situation under the sea, Royer prepared to go back.
Thor would have liked to stay at the bottom of the ocean for a while. Last time, he once encountered a special spiritual power fluctuation at the bottom of the sea, I wonder if that special spiritual power will appear now that the Black Tide is coming?
But neither Royer nor Alfonso advised Sol to stay at the bottom of the ocean for long.
Alfonso was able to stay mainly because the tribunal had prepared a concealment circle for him. As long as he stays in this circle, he can enjoy the protection of the defensive circle, and he does not have to spend his energy to deal with the pollution of the Kuroshio current in the seawater.
However, this concealment circle can only be applied to one person.
There is a big war next, and Royer naturally can't let Thor, a labor force who takes the initiative to send to the door, use his energy in other unnecessary places.
Back at the surface, Thor could already feel the spiritual power that belonged to Alfonso at the bottom of the sea. It seems that the Concealment Circle is designed for sea monsters, and it is not completely hidden from wizards such as Thor.
From this weak but stable mental force, one can also be sure that Alfonso under the sea is all right.
Royer and Thor returned to the shore and seized the time to start meditating, recovering their magic and stabilizing their mental power as much as possible.
In the middle of the night, the second wave of the Kuroshio Tide arrived. And this time, the number of monsters engulfed by the Kuroshio is also a little more than the first time.
It's just that the wizards on the shore can still cope, but there are also more casualties among the apprentices.
Immediately, other wizard apprentices stepped up to fill in the place, and they didn't dare to say anything, continuing the previous work of the victim.
If anyone dares to escape from the battle while resisting the Kuroshio, what awaits him will be a judgment order, the kind that will not die.
There have been no deaths among official wizards, but if the battle continues to rage, it will only be a matter of time.
It's just that every wizard who faces the Kuroshio understands this, but he also accepts his fate with a blank face and without any resistance.
The first day passed in such an intense and eeriely calm atmosphere.
By daybreak, the aftermath of the second wave of the Kuroshio Tide had faded, and most people returned to the shore to meditate and rest, leaving only a few people to take turns monitoring the situation at the beach.
Thor is a supernumerary, so naturally he does not need to be on duty. But when he regained his magic power, he was still the first to return to the surface.
From the second day, the scale of the Kuroshio is even larger, and there are more alien monsters attacking, and things can change at any time, and Thor must stay on the front line to ensure that he doesn't miss the show.
At the same time, he also glanced at the Black Flame Emperor Ailuo in front of him.
He barely made a move yesterday, leaving briefly in the early morning when most people were resting, and had just returned.
So, is the current Black Flame Emperor still the real Black Flame Emperor?
