Chapter 67: Out of the Darkness
Arthur: They were lost in the sea of darkness.
Even if there are top powerhouses like Sino and Aretha in the team, they are still powerless when they are lost in the endless darkness. Moreover, everyone does not dare to disperse their actions, and once they disperse, they may never find each other again.
Lost in the way, in the end can only use the stupidest way, to go in one direction all the way, sooner or later to be able to get out of the darkness.
To make sure they were always on the same track, Arthur, Joan, and Arya took turns shooting fireballs or balls of light forward, as long as the space wasn't distorted.
It's hard work, and the three of them need to release their magic constantly, and one person's mana is half used up and the other person immediately picks it up, and even then the mana recovery speed can't keep up with the consumption. Shino and Aretha also need to help out often, securing their direction by firing sword qi forward.
The crowd continued to move forward in the darkness, day after day, and the darkness seemed to have no end.
Everyone took turns to steer the boat with vindictive spirit, and when they were tired, Gru made a large piece of ice floe on the black sea and docked temporarily. Before entering the frozen plateau, everyone's space equipment was replenished with plenty of food and water. Thanks to these supplies, everyone has no worries in the dark sea without any food source.
When the end is uncertain, the journey is an ordeal, especially in the dark. After ten days of sailing on the Sea of Darkness, even Shino and Aretha began to wonder if they were completely lost.
Although everyone was skeptical, no one complained, the ship continued to move forward, and they had made this journey a painstaking practice. And the effect of cultivation is also obvious, Arthur, Joan and Arya forcibly increased their magic level through the magic array, and they have been continuously consuming and replenishing magic these days, so that their level has been completely stabilized. Golly is also honing her Dou Qi control by continuously consuming Dou Qi and driving the ship.
When they entered the twentieth day of the Sea of Darkness, they encountered a new problem, and they ran out of demonic beast meat for Ah Xiu. Ah Xiu, this guy is too edible, a dragon's daily appetite is more than half a month, and he didn't expect that Ah Xiu would have no hunting for more than half a month.
Arthur could only give the meat he had prepared for himself to Ah Xiu. But the dragon, who was accustomed to eating the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, didn't like the meat that had been packed up at all, and only barely ate a few bites on the first day and stopped eating.
The next day, Ah Xiu ate less. At most, half a month, if he can't get out of the sea of darkness, Ah Xiu is afraid that he will become the first dragon to starve to death.
On the third day, perhaps starving, Ah Xiu ate more than the previous two days combined. Just when Arthur thought that the dragon was finally starting to learn to adapt to human meat, Ashur flew away with his wings on Gru.
Arthur was really dumbfounded this time, Ah Xiu has been flying above everyone's heads these days, and rarely even flies out of sight. This time, not only did he fly out of sight, but he didn't come back for a long time.
There is no contract between Arthur and Ah Xiu, it is completely dependent on each other since birth, and as the dragon grows up day by day, Arthur has no way to control Ah Xiu, and Gru is even more so.
"Gru and Ashu went together, and the two of them should be back. Joan comforted Arthur.
Everyone waited in place for a small half a day, but they still did not wait for the return of the dragon and the ice elf.
Arthur sighed softly, "Let's go, we can't wait forever, hopefully the two of them will fly out of the Sea of Darkness." ”
The boat continued to move forward in the dark, and Arthur, although he did not say anything, was visibly depressed throughout the day. Two interracial friends who have been with him for so long flew away without saying hello, making Arthur reflect on whether he did something wrong?
"You're too tired of using magic these days, go and sleep in the cabin for a while, and you can recover better when you have rested. Aretha comforted Arthur.
Arthur didn't refuse, and fell asleep in the cabin. He didn't know how long he had been asleep, he had many dreams, including in the orc camp, in the mercenary group, and in the sea of darkness, and even dreamed that Ah Xiu had come back and brought back a lot of fish.
In a daze, he heard the sound of cheering, and then the wet sea water dripped onto his face, and suddenly he was hit hard by something, and the boat under him shook with it. Arthur woke up instantly, only to find something pressing on him, a big fish, a strange fish two meters long, with teeth in its mouth.
Everyone was watching themselves laughing, and Ah Xiu circled overhead, letting out a cheerful dragon chant like an invitation.
Ah Xiu is back and has found food!
Knowing that there are no living creatures in this sea of darkness, Ashu was able to find the fish means that he has flown out of the sea of darkness, which is the best news these days.
For the first time in twenty days, Arthur and the others had eaten fresh food, grilled fish and a delicious fish soup, and although the fish looked vicious, the meat was very delicious, and this meal was the happiest meal they had since they entered the dark sea, because they were about to go out.
After everyone finished eating, Ashu led the way, and Shino drove the boat, and the boat rushed forward like an arrow. After half a day's journey, the black fog began to thin out, and smiles began to appear on everyone's faces, and they were finally about to rush out of the sea of darkness.
As we were about to get out of the Sea of Darkness, the waves under the ship began to become turbulent, and everyone on board began to feel turbulent, knowing that there was no wind and waves in the Sea of Darkness.
Aretha reached into the water, "We should have walked out of the sea of darkness, the water has warmed up, so there are waves and creatures can survive. ”
Aretha said this in a cheerful tone, but she soon regretted it, because the wind and waves were getting stronger, and the boat was bouncing up and down in the waves, and Arya was even seasick and had begun to vomit.
Arthur took Alya in his arms and volleyed her into the air, placing her on Ashu's back, so that she would no longer jolt in the air. The black mist had long since disappeared, standing on Ah Xiu's back, he could see the ocean beyond, Arthur's face instantly turned pale, and the entire sea in front of him seemed to be boiling, setting off a huge wind wave more than ten meters high.
"Look ahead!" Arthur reminded the crew on board.
Except for Shino, who was driving the boat, everyone else flew into the air. At this moment, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared under the boat, and Sino originally wanted to urge the fighting spirit to drive the boat out of the whirlpool, but the next second, the boat and people were swallowed whole.
A huge head like a hill slowly floated up from the bottom of the sea.
Only then did they break out of the Sea of Darkness and enter the Sea of Storms, where there were even more terrifying ancient beasts in addition to the bad weather......
