Chapter 334 The soul that cannot be freed, the power of gods


    "How?"


    Hearing this question, Xia En was a little confused.


    Because he just used [Great Darkness] once and crushed those ice crystal monsters.


    Is there anything special about this?


    However, Xia En also saw before that the ice crystal monsters have strong regeneration capabilities, and it is difficult to kill them with ordinary physical attacks.


    But why did they die so neatly under the influence of [Great Dark Sky]?


    Although he had some doubts in his heart, Xia En behaved calmly in front of these strangers.


    Gives people a sense of what it should be.


    Seeing this, the pirates just thought it was Xia En''s secret as a secret traveler, so they didn''t ask any more questions.


    at the same time.


    Some pirates had also recognized Xia En''s identity and whispered.


    "Xia En? This name sounds familiar..."


    "Wait a minute, isn''t this the captain of the [Black Swan]?"


    "Hiss... Is that the [Black Swan] that killed the [Dark Red Baron]?"


    Xia En couldn''t help but be a little surprised when he heard this.


    How long had it passed before my deeds actually reached the ears of these pirates?


    In fact, Xia En still underestimated the influence of his previous battle.


    In this era where legendary powerhouses are extremely rare, level six is ??already the ceiling for ordinary mystics.


    In the naval battle between Shane and Richard, at least four sixth-level powerhouses appeared, and more than ten ships participated in the battle!


    A naval battle of this scale, at the time when the expeditionary force was setting off, naturally attracted a lot of attention.


    -The captains and sailors who teleported to the [Cold Sea] with Xia En became the spreaders of rumors.


    "We heard about this from the captain of a warship we met by chance before."


    Sensing Xia En''s gaze, Lewis simply took the initiative to speak.


    "It is said that the legendary strongman of the Vampire Clan was furious because of the defeat in this battle. He originally wanted to arrest the [Black Swan] and Captain Shane!"


    This legend obviously refers to Mueller of the Vampire Clan.


    However, when he heard the word "wanted", Xia En''s heart did not waver, and he even wanted to laugh a little.


    Strictly speaking, the previous joint arrest warrants from several vampire islands are now still hanging on Xia En''s head!


    There are too many lice and they are not itchy.


    Anyway, even if there is no wanted wanted, Xia En and the vampires are already incompatible with each other.


    Whether he is wanted or not, it doesn''t matter.


    But Shane noticed that Lewis used the word "originally". Could there be any changes in this?


    Before he could ask, Lewis explained.


    "However, the Federation Navy is quite dissatisfied with the Blood Tribe''s actions and has solemnly ordered the Blood Tribe not to allow anything like this to happen again."


    "This has given up the idea of ??the vampire clan wanting you."


    Hearing this, Xia En suddenly realized.


    It turned out to be the influence of federal officials.


    If you think about it carefully, the Federation is calling on all forces to form a "Far North Expeditionary Force" and is willing to absorb pirates at sea at the cost of eliminating wanted orders.


    As a result, not long after the call was made, our own people started fighting among themselves.


    Isn''t this a slap in their face?


    Federal officials will certainly not care about small-scale frictions and disputes.


    But the battle between Xia En and the Blood Tribe aroused widespread discussion.


    The negative impact on the expeditionary force is immeasurable.


    This forced federal officials to intervene.


    Moreover, judging from the attitude of the Federation, it is obviously more stringent towards the vampires.


    On the one hand, it was because this naval battle was initiated by the vampires.


    On the other hand, federal officials actually know about the vampire''s urinary nature. If they are not restrained, similar things may happen again.


    While understanding the situation a little bit.


    [Black Swan] has gradually approached Xia En and others.


    Seeing the shadow cast from above, the pirates couldn''t help but let out low exclamations.


    After observing this large ship at close range, they could more clearly and intuitively feel the majesty and extraordinaryness of this ship.


    Regardless of the size, style, hull material, or the momentum of the entire ship, it far exceeded their own ships.


    Comparing the pirates'' [Dragon] and [Black Swan], it seems like they are behind an era!


    "What a nice ship!"


    Lewis couldn''t help but admire: "It is indeed the legendary [Black Swan]!"


    Shane was no stranger to the pirates'' looks.


    Once upon a time, he had expressed similar emotions towards the Duke and Viper, and he felt a strong sense of envy in his heart.


    But now, time has passed, and the Black Swan, which was small and broken in the past, has grown into the behemoth it is today.


    Instead, it was Shane''s turn to be envied by the other captains.


    Soon, An Hexiange flew down from the deck and came to Xia En.


    At this time, Xian Ge maintained a state of mimicry, wearing a thick winter-proof cotton coat, wrapped tightly, like a large caterpillar.


    Even so, the moment she appeared, the pirates of the [Dragon Pirate Group] couldn''t help but focus on her.


    From her body, they felt a powerful, ancient and familiar power of blood.


    The reason why [Dragon Pirate Group] is called this is of course not without purpose.


    In fact, most of the members of this pirate group have more or less dragon blood.


    Of course, the dragon here does not necessarily refer to the ancient dragon.


    Some are mostly degenerated sub-dragons, while others are the bloodline left over from the cross between ancient dragons and other creatures.


    During the heyday of the [Dragon Pirate Group], they even directly raised a sub-dragon!


    It’s just that it’s not convenient to bring them with me on this trip to [the Far North].


    From this we can also see the close connection between the [Dragon Pirate Group] and dragons.


    Because of this, the pirates couldn''t understand why they felt an unusually strong pressure from this girl.


    Even...I have the urge to worship her!


    If she also has dragon blood in her body, how high will the blood level be?


    Even Lewis trembled in his heart and looked at Xian Ge in surprise.


    "Captain Shane, who is she?"


    Feeling everyone''s gaze, Xian Ge didn''t show any stage fright, puffed up her chest and said.


    "I am the great Qing...ahem!"


    After Xia En glanced at her, Xian Ge coughed twice, but at least his true identity was not revealed.


    Nana looked at Xian Ge with a surprised look on her face: "It smells good, what a powerful aura, just like Captain Xia En!"


    "Are you Captain Shane''s daughter?"


    "If I mate with him, can I give birth to a child as strong as you?"


    Hearing this, Lewis had black lines on his head and quickly apologized to Xia En.


    "Captain Shane, please don''t be offended if my sister is ignorant and talks nonsense."


    The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched, not knowing how to answer.


    Unexpectedly, Nana was unhappy when she heard this and said, "I''m not talking nonsense!"


    "I''m serious, bro, don''t you keep urging me to find a man?"


    "I think Captain Shane is very suitable!"


    "…you?"


    At this time, Xian Ge looked Nana up and down: "As for you, at best you can be Mr. Captain''s seventh wife!"


    Xia En''s eyelids jumped: "Where can I get seven wives?"


    Xian Ge was greatly surprised: "Eh? No, let me count them carefully..." "Sister Joy, little sister Sha Jingjing..."


    "Stop, stop, stop."


    Seeing that the topic was getting more and more crooked, Xia En quickly interrupted Xian Ge and turned to look at Lewis.


    "Captain Lewis, how did you encounter that weird ice crystal monster before?"


    Lewis smiled bitterly: "Actually, it was just an accident..."


    Soon, Lewis roughly recounted his experience of accidentally crashing into the ruins of the Great Yan Kingdom and being besieged by monsters.


    After listening, Xia En couldn''t help but glance at him with sympathy.


    I don''t know if I am lucky or unlucky to be able to hit the ruins in the ice so accurately.


    But...relics?


    Xia En turned to look at the ancient ruins whose style was completely different from modern buildings, and he felt a little curious.


    [Great Yan Kingdom] has too many secrets, buried in the dust of history.


    Why was [Great Yan Kingdom] destroyed?


    Why did King Xin freeze the town?


    Why do those ice crystal monsters carry the power of [Husi Ming]?


    These doubts have been lingering in Xia En''s mind for a long time, and even a knowledgeable scholar like Jane can only pry out some clues.


    Perhaps, in this ruins, Shane can find the answer he wants?


    Thinking of this, Xia En''s eyes flashed and he walked towards the strange tower-shaped building.


    "Captain Shane, what do you think?"


    Lewis looked at Shane''s movements and immediately understood his intention.


    However, Lewis did not try to persuade him, because he knew that he could not change Xia En''s decision, so he only gave a kind reminder.


    "Captain Shane, please be careful."


    "There should be many ice crystal monsters from before in that ruins."


    Shane nodded and said, "I will."


    Since he wanted to explore the ruins, Xia En would not go in alone. Instead, he waited until Joey and Jane were in place before slowly approaching the ruins.


    After getting closer, Xia En discovered that the material of this building looked very smooth and hard, with a gray-black appearance.


    The overall style is actually somewhat similar to the [Federal Grand Library].


    Simple and direct, no unnecessary patterns.


    Pay more attention to practicality than beauty.


    In fact, more than half of the entire ruins is located in the ice, and only a small part of it is exposed above the ice sheet.


    At this time, a hole opened in the corner of the building, like a big mouth, quietly waiting for people to fall into the trap.


    The previous ice crystal monster emerged from here.


    Shane looked back behind him.


    In addition to his own crew, Daisy and Nana also volunteered to join this "exploration operation."


    It just so happens that it will take some time for the [Black Swan] to break through the ice, so you can use this time to explore the ruins.


    Not long after.


    Xia En walked into the cave cautiously, and a cold air hit his face.


    The temperature inside this ruins is actually colder than outside.


    This is actually quite unusual.


    Click... click!


    Before Xia En could think deeply about this point, he suddenly heard a subtle movement in his ears.


    He didn''t hesitate and took half a step back.


    With a "bang", a humanoid monster made of ice crystals jumped into the air and hit the spot where Xia En was standing.


    The force of the impact was not small at all, leaving a shallow crater on the ground.


    A small part of the ice crystal monster''s head was also smashed.


    But in the blink of an eye, its broken head adhered and came together in a strange manner, and finally returned to its complete form.


    During this process, Shane noticed that the inside of the ice crystal monster''s head did not have any structure that a living creature should have.


    It''s like...it''s just an empty shell shaped by simulation!


    But for some reason, Xia En felt an indescribable activity from those broken ice crystals.


    It seemed that in every broken ice crystal, there was a soul wailing in pain and misery.


    "This is…"


    Xia En frowned slightly.


    He didn''t observe carefully when he used [Great Dark Sky] to sweep away the monsters.


    Now, Xia En suddenly realized that these ice crystal monsters themselves seemed to be a blasphemous product that should not exist in the world.


    "Are ordinary physical attacks really ineffective?"


    "So, try magic?"


    Soon, Joey released a small fireball technique and hit the ice crystal monster.


    The ice crystals melted in an instant.


    However, after the fireball spell dissipated, ice crystals condensed on the ground after a while.


    Four or five minutes later, an identical ice crystal monster was regenerated.


    Seeing this scene, not only Xia En, but also Joey and Jane frowned.


    "Mr. Captain."


    Joey hesitated and said, "It gives me a very uncomfortable feeling."


    "I felt filth and pain from it, like... something was trapped inside it."


    "Your feeling is right."


    At this time, Jane took over Joey''s words and said, "If I read correctly, there is a human soul imprisoned in the body of this monster."


    "The human soul?"


    Hearing this, Xia En was horrified: "You mean..."


    Jane nodded and said: "Yes, they were probably the people of [Great Yan Kingdom] originally."


    "Their physical bodies have long since died, but their souls are imprisoned in this special creation, enduring despair and suffering day after day without being able to escape."


    "Even if they are cut into the smallest particles, they will still regenerate in this form."


    After learning this information, everyone present felt a creepy feeling.


    Thousands of years have passed since the destruction of [Great Yan Kingdom].


    Thousands of years of time and endless suffering.


    Just imagining this kind of pain makes one''s scalp numb.


    Daisy asked in confusion: "Who on earth could do such a thing?"


    "Not a man, but a god."


    An answer came to Xia En''s mind.


    The filthy secret power of the ice crystal monster is enough to prove the initiator of this matter.


    Xia En quickly thought of another question: "But, since ordinary spells cannot destroy such monsters, why can [Great Dark Sky] kill them completely?"


    After Jane thought about it, he gave Xia En a meaningful look.


    "Only the power of gods can fight against gods..."
